H ' - . THE SAW' LAJLB TBXBTJKE) SATURDAY MOBXIXG, JTTLY 9, lOQi: g ICAIIFOMA NstiveSoii Golden State For First Tifne in History State Suggests Candidate for President. Lawyer Delmas of San pTanclsco , Pays High Tribute to a , Journalist, I. "LOUIS. July 8. When at 10:15 o'clock, on the call of tho roll of StateB, California was reached, D. M. Delmas, one of the moat prominent lawyers of tho Golden Stato was recognized and he presented as a. candidate for the chief magistrate, the name of William Randolph Hearst, a native son. Mr. Delmas said: Speech of Sir. Delmas. For tho Ilrat time In history; California presents as a candidate for tho great of fice of Chief Executive of tho Republic one born and reared upon her soil. Sho bespeaks your Indulgence whllo sho seta forth tho motived which animate Ivor hopes and tho claims which Justify tho uspiratlons of her son. Do you want as your nominee a man whose past political career stands .ib an assuranco of victory in tho future? Cali fornia's candidate ht no stranger to pub llfe. Ho Is today ho representative in Congroas of tho imperial Stato which is now his homo. To ttia realization cf your lmna tho voto of that Stato Is lndlspons- Iable. Without New Yorlc it is confessedly idlo to look for victory next November. Can he carry Now Yorlc? Let tho expo rlonco of tho past answer. Less than two years ago he ran for Congross In a dis trict which tho year before had given tho Democratic nominee for Mayor of Great er Now York a majority of only 1500. That dlHtrlct ho carried by moro than 16.0CO. Such n majority exceeds by over 2000 that uivon in the same district a few years ago to tho learned and distinguished Jurist who was then elected Chief Justice of tho Stato; and It is greater by nearly KO0 than that given a year later to the Democratic cnndldato for Mayor, though ho threw into tho contest tho prostlgo which pos terity nccords to an honored and distin guished nomo. That majority represented 72 out of every 100 votos cost. I Makes a Prophecy. "Wan s-uch a percentage ever beforo equalled? Vnu such a majority over be foro attained? Was a triumph bo com plete over beforo achieved In nny Con gressional district of New York? Never. If, Instead of running In a mere district, he who won this unprecedented victory had boon a candidate In tho wholo mu nicipality, he would, according to this rn tio, havo carried tho cl' of Now York by a majority of 230.000. Had ho been running In the Stato at large even con ceding to his adversary tho preponder ance customarily claimed by the Repub licans in the rural districts he would havo carried the Stato by a majority of 130.000. Gentlemen, if It bo true that lha State of New York Is Indlspennblo to your suc cess, who is tho man thnt affords equal guarantees of his ability to carry It? will you find him in a arranger o that State' Or will you find him In cither of tho men whose majorities our candldato has thus already eclipsed at tho polish Always a Democrat. Do you want a nominee of proved nnd unquestioned fldollty to your ' party? Whcro will you find one whoso party feal ty can claim superiority to hfs In hours which tried min'n souls? Others have do ucrtcd tho ship In tho days when Idola trous allurements were Hproad forth; 'others havo foresworn tho faith of their fathers and havo prostrated themsolvcs beforo the golden calf. His allegiance han not wavered; his dovotlon has been marred by no scheme. In prosperity and in ndvorslty, In ounshlno nnd in storm, through good and evil repute, his De mocracy has remained steadfast and "Constant as tho northern stnr Of whose true fixed and rested quality, There Is no fellow in tho firmament." During the five Presidential elections which have taken placo sluco ho has reached manhood's estate, ho has ovor abandoned personal proforcnecs, surren dered lnvldual opinions and ungrudgingly acquiesced as sooon ns tho party's choice has been made and its creed proclaimed. Throo times did ho support Grovcr Cleve land, nnd twice him who yonder alts, and him who, untouched by ephemeral obli quity, misrepresentation and slander, will bequeath posterity a nomo as pure, a character as lofty and a fnmo as bright as any recorded In tho annals of Democracy. Is No Bolter. Nor does tho fealty of our candidate bo "long to tho past alone. It exists today in amplitude as complete, in devotion ns ab fiOlnlo as of yore. Though aspiring to this nomination, yot If your assembled wis dom shall deem another worthier, ho will R not be found a discontented grumbler, sulking In his tent; still lens will ho oe found organizing fellow deserters Into marauding bands of hostile malcontents, j No, and above all. will ho not bo found i working for tho party's defeat and exult- j ing In Its overthrow, Even though dis- appointed In his aspirations, he will re B main at his post, ready, ns of old, to bat- tlo for the cause, nnd If not chosen to lend ns a commandtr of tho fighting, as private B In the ranks. Do you want for your nominee a man of truly Democratic Impulse, one ever in sympathy with distress, ever ready to stretch our a succoring hand to suffering humanity? Not hero is tho place to re count the numberless Instances In which those tralta of our candidate's nature rnd disposition has been displayed.

Tell us, ye gallant sons of Texas, for you know. Appeals to tho South. Men of the South, you upon whose soli Amoricnn Democracy first saw the light, you, the hereditary custodian of Its purest traditions, you whose political importance, If not political life. Is bound up with Its fate, you In whoso annals tho events of this day may mark an epoch moro fatal than any which hoa gone by since the war men of tho South, to you I next speak. Do you want as your nominee a man whoso descent, whose past career and whoso present altltudo afford lrrofraga blo guarantees of sympathy nnd glvo proof oX accord upon tho great questions with which the vory oxlstcnco of your people as a rnco are Involved? If you wnnt such a nominee what lacks tho can dldato of California to commend your con fidence and onlist your support? Upon tho momentous questions which affect you, every Bentlment of his heart Is by tho sheer force of hereditary with you. Tho Bnmo blood thnt flows through your veins courscB through hlB. Llko your selves, his parents and forefathers belong to tho South. On tho maternal side he comes from Vlrglnln. On tho paternal Bide, through genealogy which parallels that of her Jacksons and her Calhouns. South Carolina claims him as hers. The act of his lifo which his father loved to cherlRh was thcvoto which ho roso from his dying bed to glvo In the Senato of tho United States, cat against that measuro of Republican .tyranny, fitting called the "Force bill." His Views No Secret. Nor are his views and sentiments a secret. Speaking through tho agency of a public volco heard by millions in every nook nnd corner of this country, his thoughtH have been given utterance You know where ho stands. You know him as ono who, while Insisting upon justice for tho black man, has not a faco of Hint against nil attempts of Republican schemers to clothe him with authority or to impose him as an official over pcoplo In whoso memory tho humiliation, tho horrors and tho untold agonies of recon struction measures aro Btlll fresh. You know him ns one who considers that tho problem which, nmld Holds of devastated and homes mndo dcsolato by the hand of war. has como to you as a dread legacy of tho past, is a problem which you alono aro competent to deal with, and dealing with It tho Government should lot the South nlone. You know him as ono who. by unceasing appeals to their Judgment nnd sense of Justice, has obtained from tho best men of tho North that sympathy for tho South which tho cver-to-be-la-montcd Grady had pleaded for In vain In tho very heart of Massachusetts. Gentlemen of tho convention, men of tho North and of the South, of tho East and of tho West accredited representa tives of tho Democracy to you I say: Should your nomlr.ee bo a man whoso views on public questions are known, a man whoso attitude on the questions which at the time confront tho American people accords with the principles of your party? If ho should, where will thero bo found ono equal to him whose cnuso wo aro hero to advocate? His Ideas of Issues. It has been said, and truly said, thnt no campaign ever decldos more than ono Is sue, tt'hat, then, is the lasuc which di vides today the Democratic and Repu blican parties, whnt Is the fundamental principle upon which they are In antagon ism? What Is tho essential thing which Democracy stands for nnd v-hlch Repub licanism antagonizes? Is it a question of tariffo or of tariff revision? A question of stnndnrds of money? A question of regu lating tho currency or controlling the bnnks? A question of expansion or of Im perialism? No. Important as thrso are, tho question Is greator than anv or all of these. It Includes them all. It Is true, but It includes much more. It is a question which touches tho very foundations of our Institutions nnd strikes at tho vory exist ence of our Government. Let euphemistic babblers gloss over as they may; lot trim mers who shift their sail to even' po litical breeze that blows evade It on they can: let time servers who usurp the nnmo of Democracy sneer at It as they will, still the question which confronts tho American peoplo today which has con fronted thorn with ever-growing Insistence since the Civil wnr Is whether this Gov ernment shall be carried on for the bonoflt of the peoplo. nnd of the whole people, or whether It shall be manipulated for a privileged claoj whether Its great depart ments, exocutlvo and Judicial, shall bo perpetuated for the protection of tho equal rights of all. or whethor thoy shall be per verted Into the plastic Instruments of syn dicated capital. Paramount Issue, s Gentlemen of the convention. If this is not the paramount Issue of this campaign what 1b the Issue? If this is not tho fun damental question upon which the two pnrtle differ. In what do they difforT If tho Republican party does not stand to day as the party of the privileged classes and as the exponent of the money power, for what does it stand? And If tho Demo cratic party does not represent the antith esis of all this, what doe it represent? If the cause of tho people of tho plain peoplo of the unnumbered multltudo who each morn Implore heaven to glvo them tr-eir dally bread, and who by dally toll earn the right to the fulfillment of their prayer. Is not the c&um of Democracy, what is its cause? If tho mission Is not to defend the equal rights of thoso who constitute the countless hosts of labor not of labor In a narrow or restricted senso. not of labor conllned to those only who receive n dally wago, not of labor or ganized in gulldx of unions alone, but of labor In Its broad and Catholic sense of labor which Includes nil thoso who work with hand or brain, and who. whether in fields of waving grain. In the. glare of tho forge. In the smoke of furnace, amid tho whirr of ever restless wheels, in the depths of mines, In tho mcphltlc nlr of collieries, upon the decks of floating crafts, at the desk of tho counting-house, in the chemist's laboratory, among the bookH of the lawyer's library. In tho mer chant's shop, else forever upon the earth may be found thoso who fullllled tho great Creator's law that men Hhall eat hlB bread In tho sweat of his brow If, I sny, to defend ono equal rights of these, the unprivileged and tho less favored bo not tho mission of Democrncv, what mission has It? If to protect them from the jrhomes of spoliation and plunder of syn dicated wealth is not tho Justification for Its existence what Justification has It to oxlHt? Ayo, gentlemen, if tho cnuso of tho plain peoplo is not tho cause to which you aro pledged, dovoted, consecrated by tho very name you bear, by what lttle do you call yourselves Democrats? By what right do you usurp tho name of him whoso memories you profess to venerate, whoso precepts you approve in your plat form, whose oxample you claim to emu lato. by what right do jou stylo your selves followora of him who Bald: Demnnds Equal Rights. "I hopo wo shall crush In Its birth tho aristocracy of our money corporations, which daro already to challenge our Gov ernment to a trial of strength, nnd bid defiance to tho laws of our country" of him whoso cardinal maxim was "equal rights for all, special privileges for none," of him whoso wholo life was ono inces sant battle, waged against tho oppression of tho many for the benefit of the few. I repeat It, sirs If tho cause of the un privileged nnd the Iass favored bo not your cause; If to secure them equal rights be not your mission; If to protect them against the oppression of syndicated cap ital bo not Iho Justification of your oxlst onoo ns n party; aye. sirs, If you aro here today bent upon outdoing Republicans in truculent .subserviency oi Republicans to tho monoy oligarchs of Wall street; if you aro hero tremulous with apprehension for fear of giving them offense; If you aro here cherishing thu hope of placating their antagonism, winning their favor by sub serviency and regaining office and placo by the aid of their Intluenco and tho cor rupting power of their gold; If the party has sunk so low, If IP lias reached this depth of contemptible degeneracy, rlflo from thy grave, Immortal spirit that sleopeth under the sod of Montlccllo, rise, rise nnd rebuke tho recreant Democracy which, with hypocrisy In Its heart and with a llo upon its lips, dares usurp the name of Jefferson. Where Candidate Is Found. Not among these shall our candidate bo found. His political practice and political creed find llttlng expression inhls address accepting his nomination for Congress, where, in words that Jefferson might havo uttered, ho said: "I havo always devoted my energy and ability, whatever thov may be. to the cause of the plain people, nnd 1 Bhall continue to do so. Tho laws must now be applied, and, where necessary, must be strengthened to protect the peo ple against that powerful and unscrupu lous crlmlnnl combination known as a trust." Unswerving In his devotion to thoso principles, oonstnnt as the needle to tho pole In his purpose, he stands before the American people today. And as surely as, in splto of tho opposition of the monarch al followers of linmllton. ns surely as. In splto of tho enmity of tho United States bank, fame has inscribed upon tho roll of tho chief magistrates of the republic the names of Jeftrson nnd of Jackson, so surely. In splto of tho obstruction of syn dicated capital, will It there Inscribe iho name of thn beneficent and undying genius of Democracy, thus that In the end has she ever ruled destines of man kind. Speak thou, speak, till the valleyb nnd tho plains shall rink again; speak tin every mountain peal: shall find a tongue to proclaim, even to tho uttermost con fines of the republic, th name, of the un conquerod antagonist of nil schemes by which man. trampling every right nnd Justice under foot, builds his eminence upon oppression and wrong; the namo ot tho foremost living advocate of the equal ity of man, to which the fathers of old consecrated their lives upon tho blood stained flolds of the Revolution, the name of tho champion of the rights of toll, the foe of privilege and monopoly, the friend of all who labor and are heavy laden tho name of William Randolph Hearst- Captured by tho Japs.

DELAWARE NAMES GUY Jurist Is Presented tc Convent, L. Irving Handy of Wilming ton Nominates His Friend for Presidency. He Eulogizes the Judge and Talks About Good Qualities Ho Possesses. ST. LOUIS, Mo.. July 8. When Dela ware was reached In he call of the roll of the Stateo for presentation of candidates to the Democratic National convention, L. Irving Handy of Wil mington responded and presented the name of Judge George Gray of his State. He spoke as follows: Gentlemen of the Convention: Delaware ofters to you her bravest, noblest and best Ours Is n small state and it would bo Idle to Invite you to come to Delaware for a Presidential candidate merely to win our electoral voto. But this is not n competition between Slates to determine w l,ich Is largest or which Is greatest. Yoti are about to nominate not a State, but a man, and I submit that it is better to take a great man from n little State than a little man from h great State. Not because he Is . Delaware in. al though we exult In th knowledge that with us ho has spMit his life, but becauso he is great nnd good and true, wc present George Grny for your consideration nnd decision. 'W e present nlm as a citizen of the United States, for not one of all the States lies outside the boundaries of his patriotism and uffcctlon. Make him Pres ident and all the States which llo vhhtn tho four corners of our continental do main will ilnd that this man. who merelv hnppons to bo a reiiidoni of Delaware, is In truth as broad ah tho continent In his sympathies and outlook. What Ho Represents. New York can find In him n candidate clofie to tho hearts of her Democratic voters nnd yet freo from al factional bit terness and pnrty divisions. His election to the Presidency would bo the triumph of no particular part of our party in that great commonwealth, but victory for the whole Democracy In tho Emplri Slate. Nebraska might well be conl'onl to 3eo him lake our banner from the hands of her heroic son. who has twice gallantly carried It In the great fjght, and rejolco to seo that old banner in these new hands, on a kinder day nnd fairer Hold, carried to a complete and lasting victory con tent becauso of the Dclawarean like tho Nebraskan Is a man of principle, not merely a man of policy, a man whose hope and faith and aspiration aro In the great masses of the common people, nnd ns President his concern would bo first to protect the rights and conserve tho inter ests of the people whom God made, ln ptead of using the Government to promote unduly tho persons mndo by act of legis lature, commonly called corporations. South Would Eejoice. The Southern States might well rejolco to seo him In the Presidential chair. He Is blood of their blood nnd bono of their bone In mighty debate In tho United States Senato It was his true blado that slew outright onco and forever the prop osition to fetter, by a force bill, the South ern peoplo who wcro struggling face to fnco with the most threatening conditions that men ever confronted under freo In stitutions. He docs not llvo too far South lo bo eloctcd to tho Presidency at this time, but hoxls far enough South to un derstand jand appreciate tho conditions which obtnin In that broad, fair and hopo ful portion of our common country. As I may say to the North, to the Eaut and to the "West, thnt with this citizen of tho United States In the Presidential office, thoy will each have a man of their own, In like manner and with manifest truth I say to you of tho Southern States that with him you, too, will havo a man of your own onco more In the Yv'hlto House. Believes Isles Would Like Him. Not only tho States which havo a right to cast electoral votes would be blessed Dy such a President, but tho Islands oi tho sea would learn to bless his name. Ho belloves In tho rights of man. He be lieves In homo rule. He has a passion for human liberty. He wants to seo all men given nn opportunity for self-government. Mako him President and he will find a way by which every Interest of this coun try will bo protected and safe-guarded, and law and order Insured, and yet the llttlo brown men of the distant Islands will be permitted to taste at least tho sweets of human liberty and homo rule. They will know oppressors no moro, and oppression Itself will become in the Phil ippines llko an evil dream which haa passed. All the nations of the earth will lenrn to hold him in honor because he will walk in the path of peace. No rough rider ho! Ills Ideal Is of a happy, prosperous, con tented people. He would seek no bloody glory, In which quest treasure is poured out. young" lives cut shot and public con science blunted. The truest symbol of our glory In his eyes would be a free man be nenth his own vine and rig tree, with hla family about him. after the toll of tho day, with nono to molost or make him afraid, and with no predatory trust li censed to take from him a part of his dally wage. To reullze such an Ideal re quires no great standing army, and the pursuit of It will lead to no international disputes or foreign wars. It require but honor and friendship abroad; Justice and equality at home. Fourteen Years a Senator. I do not need to tel of the personal flt I do not need to tell of the personal fit of President. You know it. The country knows It. Ho has lived in the while light of publlcitv for twenty yeans. HIb public services have been distinguished and known of all men. For fourteen yirs he was In the Senate, c'.ected by Delaware, but serving the whole United States. That service was the steady, calm, convincing service of a lofty patriot and true Dem ocrat. With an Intellect of the lirst order, guided by a Judgment calm and sure-footed, he won tho admiration and confidence of our country. Ho has served on tho commission which made peace with Spain, and wo all know that It would have been well for our coun try If his patriotic ndvlco concerning the terms of that treaty ao onrnestly and oloquently urged had been heeded by tho Government. Service on tho Bench, Upon the bench Judge Gray, as lawyers know, has taken rank equal to any of the illustrious men who adorn tho Fed eral Judiciary- "Who shall measure the service ho rendered the peoplo of this whole land In settling the gr-sat anthra cite coal strike as chairman of the com mission of arbitration? Organized labor knew him nnd organized rapltal knew him. and when his work was dono they united In tho cry. "Behold a Just and fearless man!" Gentlemen, the wholo country knows him us you know him. Ills character is not concealed. His opinions arc whipped In no mystery. Silence does not hedge him round about. His fitness Is like n city set upon a hill which cannot be hid. Ills neighbors know him even better than the country and nmon; thm there Is but one voice. Ills private life Is as pure as a spring on the mountain side, with clear gushing water from the living rock. "With courage ns keen as tho Damascus blado, 'with heart of pure gold, with life dedi cated to the public good, power cannot overawe him nor wealth corrupt him. Trained and seasoned by experience and service In lofty public 6tatlon. yet In the full vigor and power of magnificent man hood, he stands ready to your hand to make a great and moderate President. Is Not Amhitlous. With all his other qualities to win ap proval, ho hzs the winning trait of soci ety. He Is not ambitious. He does not sefck or desire tho Presidency. He would prefer others to himself. We name him hero as a candidate for President, not bo- ( I ' Senator Tillman of South Carolina. cause ho longs for the place or desires to wield Its mighty power, but because Democracy needs- nlm and the country needs him. Georgo Gray is a name entwined with victory. Inscribe that namo upon your banners and faction will hush, dissension cease. His nomination horo moans your triumph In Novomber. Delaware, small In size, has been called tho Diamond State. We know not why unless It bo In compliment to the manhood of some of tho public men who havo adorned and bejoweled her history. WTo offer you, to be set in tho glorious crown of Democracy, a diamond of purost ray. flashing in every direction tho precious creed of equal rights. He Is a cut and polished stono without a flaw. Whore can you find one of equal weight and brill iancy? Wo offer in every truth a man of dauntless courage, faultless patriotism and uncompromising Democracy. "Tho dements So mixed In him that Nature may stand un And say to all tho world, 'This Is a man!" " Gentlemen of the convention, Dela ware nominates the Hon. George Gray. Congressman Bourke Cockran. FINE TRIBUTE T 6EN. im Great Warrior's Career Is Recalled. ' Had Much to Do in (Vlaking Patriotic History of His Country. West Especially Owes Him Honor for Suppressing Indians and Opening Way for Civilization. ST. LOUIS, Mo., July S. In nomina ting; Gen. Nelson A. Miles for the Presi dency, Hon. David Ovenncyer of Kan sas, the brilliant orator from the Sun flower Stntc, spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman nnd Gentlomen of the Convention: 1 nominate for President a son of MnssacJtusctta. He Is also an adopted ton of the Republic, and a friend of mnhkind. A man of great ability, of great attainments, and or great achieve ments. A soldier, a statesman, a publicist. A falth?ul servant, who has served his country long nnd well, who has fought for his country, who has bled for his country, nnd who. through long years periled his lifo for his country; and has earned the wreath of fame with which I ask you to deck his noblo brow.

His Eapld Advoncomont. Without a regular military education, nt first rejected too young to be a Cap tain. In three years thereafter he was a Major-Genoral. A citizen warrior, he proved a hero, against whoso stem, unyielding front of steel and flamo the flower of a foe ns bravo as ever bore arms was hurled, again nnd again, In vain. Wounded at Fair Oaks, severely wounded at Fredericks burg, desporatoly and apparently mortally wounded at Chancollorsvllle, bomo from the Held ns if dead, with orlmson laurels thick upon him, ho survived to light on btlll moro bloody Holds and to receive tho praises of every great Captain of the Civil War. "Tho stars." said Moaghrom, "that blazo upon his Hhouldcrs were called down from the skies bv the magnetism of his sword"; and tho great Grant has declared in his Memoirs" that this boyish chieftain was equal to tho part porformed by himself. Suppressed tho Indians. At the close of the Civil War tho wholo plain for hundreds of miles east of the Rocky mountains was covered with hos tile Indians; marauding, murdering, tor turing, carrying devastation and despair in all directions, and mnklng tho settle ment and development of that region Im possible. The man I present was sent ngnin3t them. With sleepless vigilance, with tireless energy, with consummate strategy, with relentless purpose, with fortitude unsurpassed In tho annals of time, with courago that faced death at eery step; on mountain wildB and through waterless wastes, where men famishing did taste their own blood to quench tho awful thirst; through Southern sands and Northern snows; through storms that rocked the earth and tho sky; ho and his men pursued and over threw the fierce Choycnno. the terrible Sioux, nnd tho bloody Apache: driving their broken romnants beyond tho bound aries of tho United States; hurling Sit ting Bull Into British America and Gcron lmo into Mexico and capturing him there, thus brenklng forovor the power of tho barbarian, clearing the plains of the cruel, implacable bclcngurjng savage; and open ing their vast areas to tho peaceful mil lions who now inhabit them and the un numbered millions who shall follow. For this great service he received tho thanks of Arizona, Now Mexico, Montana and Kansas. A Conquering Hero. Having pacified the plnins he roso hrouuh merit alono to the head of tho army. To him tho armies of Spain sur rendered. He llberatod Cuba and carried glad tidings of peace and liberty to Porto Rico. Having opened tho desert to civilization, with the eye of a prophet and the wisdom of a statesman, he pointed out the way to remove from its parched and desplato face the old despair, and cause It to7 an swer tho touch of the tiller with glorious bloom, with ample verdure, and smiling plenty. While others were dreaming and wondering, ho told them how Egypt. As syria, Persia, India. China and Japan sus tained enormous populations by sclontlflo and Judicious control ut tho natural sup ply of water. And he haa told uh recently that the money squandered In mlsgovern ment of so-called colonies would water all of our arid lands or build highways for the whole country. A lover of nature, ho pleads for trees and tlelds and fruits and harvests. Loves His Fcllowmen. In his solicitude for hla fellow-mon In his anxiety for tht welfare of the wholo Keoplo there Is profound affection for tha uman race, an undying devotion to those institution which protect and shelter the weak and tha poor from cruelty, a varies nnd ambition. Filial and fraternal, he pleads for heath and home, and all the blesad ties of family and friendship, and all the sa cred sentiments and tender sympathies, and exalted and reverent virtues of do mestic life.
