Every Republican member
voted for Bard.
Of the Democrats, Ashe,
Chapman and Feeney re
fused to vote for Phelan, and
did not answer when their
names were called.
vantage except those which resulted from his
natural capacity and energy, Mr. Bard has ac
cumulated large wealth, by the development of
natural resources, through his executive abil
ity, untiring industry and sound business Judg
ment.
He has developed. In Ventura, and Is now
interested In Los Angeles, In a large oil pro
duction, controlled by the Union Oil Company
he Is the president and director of banking In
stitutions in Ventura and Los Angeles, and
conducts a large, warehouse and shipping busi
ness, as well as immense farming and agri
cultural Interests.
. He was baptized in the Republican party in
those years of the war of the rebellion in a
place and at a time when every man pro
fessing Republicanism required tlie courage, of
his convections. Since his residence In this
State he has been prominently identified with
that party in his own locality, and' has -re
ceived recognition from the party of the State,
being twice chosen Vs a delegate to the Na
tional Convention, and as ' an elector in the'
campaign of 1592 he had the distinguished
honor cf being the only Republican elector on
his ticket to enter the electoral college of
this State. -
He has ever been forward In contributing
his means and counsel to the success of his
party In every campaign.
While these characteristics have made up his
public career, his private character Is the sub
ject which those who know, him best must
ever most .sincerely admire.
His character for probity and honorable dig
nity compel the heartiest admiration of all
who know him best. The loyalty of his friend
ship, and the true nobility, of his alms, dis
tinguish him among his fellow men. Pos
sessed of stronsr convictions and sound Judg
ment, he has always displayed a. fearless and
intelligent Judgment on all public questions.
In every struggle with oppression or injus
tice he will be found on the side of the right.
Fearless In the performance of duty, he Is
a true friend of the people. Of a retiring dis
position, and averse to display, his charities
¦and benevolence are never ostentatiously dis
closed, but his friends and admirers are well
nigh co-extensive with the acquaintances with
whom he has come In contact.
He is every Inch a Senator. And when he
represents this golden empire In that exalted
body. which has been called "An Assembly
of Kings," at -the capital of our nation every
true Callfornlan will have reason to be proud
of the selection this day made by the Republi
can party of this State. .He will exemplify the
words of that wisest- of men: "Seest thou
a man diligent In his business? he shall stand
before kings; he shall not stand before mean
men." \ . '¦

SECONDING SPEECH BY
ASSEMBLYMAN COBB
Assemblyman VT. H. Cobb of San Fran
cisco was at once recognized by the chair
and followed Valentine In an eloquent sec
onding speech. He spoke as the repre
sentative of those who had so long stood
by Colonel Burns, and his peroration wort
him round after round of applause. Mr.
Cobb had to say:
Many grave measures are pressing forward
for Congressional consideration at this time.
The reciprocity treaties with foreign countries,
the Storage of fiood waters, tha irrigation and
reclamation of desert lands, the Pacific cable,
the Nicaragua canal and the Philippine Islands
all require earnest attention at once. Never
before have so many great questions of vital
Interest to the Pacific Coast arisen at the same
time, and California is more espec^Uly Inter
ested fti all these issues than any other State.
Our commercial and Industrial interests are
rapidly forcing us into broader fields of activity
and we cannot afford to sit supinely by and
see the rich treasures of trade and commerce
slip from our grasp If proper legislation can
secure them to us forever. Our enemies ar»
aSake to the opportunity and will checkmate
us If they can. Public as well as party In
terest now demand that our personal prefer
ences give way to the voice of the majority
that a Senator may be elected without delay.
We have ¦ therefore assembled to complete tha
work we let t undone at our regular session
and to elect a United State* Senator. The
iinportar.ee of his dalle* requires that he bo
a man of distinguished ability. He need not
necessarily be an orator, but he must be a
thinker, able to think with the shrewdest men
of the nation. Incompetency would be as
dangerous as the basest treachery. Better a
vacant chair than to fill it with either a
blunderer or a traitor. He must be upright
and honorable, of known fidelity to the State
and nation, and must possess the win power
and energy of Hercules to accomplish the
work exoected of him at this time. The time
has come lor us to unite and place the toga
upon the shoulders of an. honest, abie. ener
getic and courageous man! who will make an
aggressive fight on behalf of the interests
peculiar to this coast and assist us to win a>
victory in our struggle for commercial and in
dustrial supremacy.
The gentleman whose name has Just been
placed before you possesses every requisite of
this important office to a marked degree. - It*
needs no one to vouch for him. His character
Is plainly written in. his face. Culture and re
finement fit him like a garment. While ne has
all the advantages which education and stud?
can give, his steady eye shows a wisdom
broader and deeper than the learning taught
In schools and marks him as a man eminently
fitted and qualified to fill this resQonsible po
sition with credit to himself end honor to th»
State and nation. And his selection at thla
time is peculiarly appropriate. In the bitter
party strife Just ended no wound Is attributable
to his hand. Time with its soothing touch Is
not needed to smooth down feelings ruffled by
his success. The State and party will welcome
his election with unanimous approval. All ¦of
us can unite In his support without disloyalty
to our particular candidate. I still assert my
confidence in the character, ability. Integrity
and fitness of Colonel Burns for the office you
have denied him. but on behalf of his friends I
am authorised to say ttat we accept Mr. Bard
as the most satisfactory substitute you could
have chosen for us. While he la your candi
date he will be our Senator.
California Is in its infancy. Its resources ars>
undeveloped and unknown. Its marvelous in
crease In public and private wealth in tha
past sinks into insignificance before the start
ling possibilities of the future. Nature has
scattered her treasures with a lavish hars.t
along the shores of the mighty Pacific, and w<»
have faith to believe that our hardy pioneers
planted here the seeds of & mlgthy empire,
which in the fullness of, time will develop a
grander ctvllliatlon than any the world has
e\er known. The man with the hoe. the man
with the pen and the man with the sword have
already started the wheels of progress turning,
and whether the future shall bring new bless
ings to our State or shall scatter the treasures
gathered with so much toll and suffering de
pends upon the men who snap* oar future in
dustrial, educational and political policies.
i Mr Speaker, and members of the Assembly,
with a full appreciation of th# duties and re
sponsibilities of the office and with full con
fidence In the character and ability of the man.
I take pleasure in seconding the. nomination
as a candidate for United States Senator th*
Hon. Thomas K. Bard.
Assemblyman Works of San Diego
claimed the floor next and spoke well and
emphatically for the ex-Grant faction.
"TVe failed to elect a Senator at the last ses
sion " said he "and since that time the upper
most question has been how to retrieve that
error The people have wanted a Senator. th«
administration has demanded one. and now w»
are come here to choose one. So lon* as h«
was in the flsht I. like many others, stayed
with one candidate, but knowing now that h»
cannot be elected, we bow to th» will of th»
majority and speaking for my candidate I now
say it Is my pleasure to second the nomination
of the Hon. Thomas It. Bard."
SPEECH BY BELSHAW
WINS HIM APPLAUSE
Belshaw of Martn followed Mr. Lardner
In - another seconding speech, which
brought htm much applause. He spoke as (
follows:
Mr. Speaker: It to with gr»at pleasure . that
I rise to second the nomination of Thomas U.
The people of the State of California are to
be congratulated on the happy termination oi
the Senatorial question. After a spirited con
test which continued through the last session
of this Legislature we have been convened,
in extra session and are about to fulfill our
duty to the people of this State as well *a
to the people or the United States. When tha
ballot shall be taken to-day the result wiU
show that we have accomplished the primary
object for which we were called together.
In the selection of Mr. Bard we shall choosw
a man whose honesty, integrity and ability
assure us a most competent representation la
the national Congress. While Mr. Bard is a
resident of the southern portion of our State
nevertheless he will be as much the Senator
for the north as for the south, and I feel
assured that he will not be influenced by any
sectional feeling, but will take It upon him
self to look after the interests of California:
therefore I esteem it an honored privilege to
second the nomination of Thomas R. Card.
Assemblyman Clough backed Lardner
with a characteristic talk for Barnes. Ho
said that he had voted all along for the
best man. and bowing to the will of the

The members of the Solano

San Francisco delegation to visit
the Presidio reservation and in
spect the .frrtifi cations it Lime
Point and Fort Point. The par
lors and corridors of the Golden
Eagle Hotel were thronged to
night with ladies and gentlemen
assembled to honor the new Sen

The transformation scene is
especially delightful to those who
have seen a motley crowd of pol
iticians loitering and spying
around for Senatorial develop

Colonel George H. Pippy and
Joseph S. Spear, Surveyor of the
Port of San Francisco, arrived
to-night and in behalf of the

extend an invitation in joint con
vention for both houses of the
Legislature to attend the recep

An undertone of comment is
caused to-night by the absence
of Governor Gage from Senator
Bard's reception. State officers,
members of the Legislature and
leading citizens generally attend
ed. Adjutant General Seamans
was among" the attendants, but
he did not express to the Senator
regrets for the Governor's in
ability to be present.
The Union League committee

MENTO, Feb. 6.— The occasion which
marks the beginning of the end of the
Senatorial contest was enacted in the Sen
ate to-day when Thomas R. Bard was
formally placed In nomination for the
high office of United States Senator and
received the unanimous vote of the Re
publican members of the upper house of
the Legislature.
Unusual enthusiasm characterized the
event, and a cheerful unanimity of pur
pose which bodes good for the future of
the Republican party was plainly mani
fest.
The gentlemen who placed Mr. Bard in
nomination made plain the Impression
that their words of praise and commen
dation cane from the heart. There was a
refreshing " lack, of artificial sentiment
manufactured for the occasion. Every
speaker meant what he said and took

CALL : HEADQUARTERS.. SACRA
MENTO, Feb. 6.— lf it had, been left to the
Assembly* this noon. Thomas R. Bard
would have, been the. Senator; with no
votes against him save those of the Demo
crats. /Assemblyman Henry named George
A: Knight- when his name came along in
the rbllcall. but before the result .was an
nounced, changed ,to the popular. ¦: candi
date, making 69 votes' for Bard.
.' Although ¦ the lobby," and * galleries . were
crowded ; and nearly all , of the « members
had , friends : on* the floori there .was HtUe
ready it had begun to be whispered abroad
that there was not enough patriotism in the
party to meet the crisis and so to meet it that
we would all be together In the end. And yet,
despite the detraction of Its motives, despite
the misrepresentations of Its acts, despite the
fact that the organs of the opposition* had
levied notlre on the State that this extra ses
sion would be a saturnalia of fraud and cor
ruption, out of the storm and stress of con
tending political ambitions the Republican
forces have concentrated on a man whose can
didacy is Ideal, whose private and public life
have been upon a plane so high that ••scandal
standing on tlctoe cannot reach the soles of
his shoes."
We called this extra session called together
with general public . misgivings. • We read the
history of former extra, sessions and found no
comfort In their, story. . When the session was
once called,' however, we hesitated no longer.
Men must dare to achieve results.
The mind that ever fears to err.
And yet Is never nobly right, .
It never leaps to grand results.
But in some corner out of sight
Detects a spot of hidden blight, •
And o'er the imDatient Infinite- •.'.:;
1 Still haggles, bargains and , consults.
The Legislature became more and. more in
spired with a profound conviction 'that it had
a 'trust to perform— that California must have
at Washington the constitutional representation
to which she Is entitled.- and that the faithful
performance of that trust was superior to any
candidate and to all candidates. • For the first
time In the hlfctory of the' State we have seen
the office seek the man— an unparalleled lesson
In clean politics that' has brought us all closer
together and closer to the people of California.
We have seen the candidates themselves catch
something ol the spirit of the- Legislature.
We have seen Irving M. Scott tell his l friends
not to consider his personality, or candidacy a»
against the supreme Interests of the Republican
party we have seen U. S. .Grant instruct his
close friends not to let hl» name stand in the
way of united and rapid action; we have wen
D. M. Burns tell his loyal supporters not to ob
struct the will of .the. majority; we have seen
members of this Senate put their ambitions be
neath their feet and all unite in such action
as will give 20,000 : additional votes : to the Re
publican ticket In the coming campaign. • .
•In tho spirit of absolute ¦ independence that
has characterized the action of this Legislature
thus far, in the renewed • sense of .patriotism
that inspires its members. In the spirit of har
mony that will heal all heartburnings, . let u«
proceed to nominate ' a Senator— one In - touch
with our people and .their institutions, one
alive to the best interests of Callfornlans, ' one
that in all essentials will uphold the hands of
the greatest President cave Lincoln this nation
has ever seen. . ' : ' • • •" i
Knowing his ability and his patriotism, • be
lieving in him as a Callfornian and' aa- a Re
publican, relying upon his 1 character as a man,
I second the nomination for United States Sen
ator of Thomas , R, , Bard. ,-. . ; , -W> - -^ :
SUPPORTERS OF BURNS
JOIN IN THE PRAISES
Senators Wolfe, : Gillette, Bulla and Short
ridge also expressed '•' their - pleasure ; and
of incident. The nomination and second-
Ing speeches were all that there was of
interest, but they were Interesting enough
to hold the crowd until the ballot had
been cast and the result announced.
Just before noon Johnson of Sacra
mento moved that a recess be taken until
1 minute of- 12 o'clock. It was ordered,
and Dibble took advantage of the oppor
tunity to prepare the resolution necessary
to open the proceedings. It read as fol
lows:
Whereas, - The term of the. Hon. Stephen M.
White. United States Senator in Congress from
the State of California, elected on the ISth day
of January, A. D. 1893. for the full term of six
years from the 4th day of March. A. D. 1893.
did expire on the 4th day of March. A. D. 1533;
and •' - - ¦. -i, ,".-¦
Whereas. His successor, whose term did com
mence .on the said 4th day of March. A. D.
1599." must now be chosen, therefore, be It
- Resolved. That the Assembly do now proceed
to name, by viva voce vote, a person for Sen
ator In Congress- from the State of California
for the term of six years commencing March
4, JS'j?. pursuant to an act of Congress, entitled
"An act to regulate the time and manner of
holding elections of Senators in Congress,"
approved July 23, A. D. 1866. and pursuant to
the provisions of sections 14 and IS of the Re
vised Statutes.
The resolution was adopted, and then
followed the nominating speeches. Every
camp that pitched its tents In the capital
during the late fight • was represented.
Valentine, for the southern delegation,
placed Thomas R. Bard In nomination.
W-i E. Cobb and Grove Johnson seconded
for the Burns camp. Works of San Diego
announced the good will of Grant. Dunlap
of Stockton spoke for Scott; Belshaw,
Clough and Lardner for Barnes. Mellck
represented the Bulla forces, and after
every one else had had a say Pierce of
Yolo closed for Burns in an eloquent
eulogy of the ex-candidate and a graceful
tribute to Bard.

VALENTINE ELOQUENTLY
NOMINATES BARD
Valentine, in placing the Venturan in
nomination, said:
Mr. Speaker arid gentlemen of the Assembly:
During the whole of the last session of the
Legislature several distinguished gentlemen.
citizens of the State of California, were sup
ported loyally throughout the whole session by
their supporters In Joint convention, voting for
them as candidates for the United States Sen
ate. That they were entitled to the confidence
not only of their supporters, but of the people
of the State of California is manifest,
and it -Is fortunate for this great nation of
ours, magnificent as she is with all her 're
sources, to have so many who can so well
and ably represent her in the higher branch
of the legislative halls in Washington. The
Governor of the State, seeing the necessity
of full representation in. the Congressional
halls, has placed as foremost in his proclama
tion calling us together In this extraordinary
session the election of a United States Senator,
and I think none of you will deny that that
Is the question paramount in the State of Cali
fornia to-day.
Situated on this western coast of the coun
try we will be first to receive the advantage
of the . Oriental trade, where we .will be the
first "to receive the advantage of the expansion
taking in. thus, as we hare the Islands of
the Orient ar.d over which Old Glory will
wave forever, taking in as we have the islands
midway In the Pacific— the Hawaiian Islands
all of these benefits will first come to the
door of California. We will first receive the
advantage of these acquisitions, and it Is
proper and right that we should have full
representation In both branches of Congress
so that California may derive the full benefit
of these advantages.
When we come to. the question of who shall
be the Senator to represent us and act as
the colleague of the Hon. George C. Perkins
we have been deliberating over that question
for some time. We have a man. coming not
particularly from the south, not from the
north, not from the east or the west, but from
the whole State of California; one who Is
broad ' enough, who Is great enough In every
capacity to -fully, represent the great State of
pleasure in saying It. Special stress was
made of the fact that Mr. Bard's selec
tion was a case of the office seeking the
man. Attention was also called to the
action of leading Republican candidates
for the office who had cast aside their
personal ambitions In order that the fu
ture of their party in California wquld
not be Jeopardized.
In marked contrast to the enthusiasm
that greeted the name of Thomas R. Bard
was the gloom that spread over the Sen
ate like a pall when the minority pre
sented James D. Phelan as its candidate.
No applause followed his nomination: and
when the roll was called several of the
Democrats refused to vote.
SENATOR ROWELL PLACES
BARD IN NOMINATION
Mr. Bard was placed In nomination by
Senator Rowell, whose address, while
brief, awakened all of the pent-up enthu
siasm of the supporters of the gentleman
from the south, and at the close they
burst forth In round after round of cheer-
Ing. The Senator said:
Mr. President: A little more than one year
ago I had the pleasure of presenting to this
body for its Senatorial suffrage the name of
Thorns s R. Bard. To-day it gives me double
pleasure to again present the same name for
a like suffrage. Then it was the personal ex
pression of long friendship and exalted ad
miration for the man. now It is an expression
of the spontaneous sentiment of this body and
with the spontaneous and hearty approval of
the people of the State of California.
At least for once In ths history of our politics
a great and generally coveted position has
sought the man and not the man the position.
Mr. President, there is little that need be said
in behalf of the man whose name I rtTtr. If
mature years, a high order of Intelligence, a
life's honorable record, a comprehensive knowl
edge of men "and affairs and a thcrougn ap
preciation of and faith In those principles of
government which we believe have been con
ducive to the welfare of our country are •rual
lflrations then this body has found the man
for United States Senator. But, Mr. Presi
dent, there is more in this election of a Sena
tor than merely the selection of a well qual
ified public servant or the expression of ad
miration for or good will toward an honorable
citizen. The electwn of Thomas R. Bard will
mean an emphatic expression of a r»pidly
growing sentiment throughout our land that
politics In this country, must and shall l>e con
ducted on higher planes. I bespeak for Mr.
Bard, if elected, an honorable standing among
the Senators of the nation, and 1 promise fcr
him that he. will represent California and all
her interests at the national capital with
credit to himself and to the honor and to the
benefit of the State.
NOMINATION SECONDED
BY SENATOR BOYCE
The honor of seconding the nomination
fell to Senator .Boyce of Ventura, who Is
a lifelong friend of the new Senator. Mr.
Boyce was extremely earnest In all he
said, and his remarks were listened to
with the most profound interest. His
speech follows:
Fellow- Senators: Representing, as I do. In
this body, '-he county of Ventura, I feel that
there Is imposed upon me a momentous duty
as well as a grateful pleasure.* In rendering
tribute to an esteemed friend. Having enjoyed
the personal friendship of the distinguished
gentleman who has been placed In nomination
for the exalted office of United States Sena
tor for more than a score of yenrs, I am
glad to have the opportunity to raise my voice
a« a witness to his worth,» and In the name
of Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, where
his name is a household word. I rise to second
the nomination of the Hon. Thomas R. Bard.
Mr Bard was born In Chambersburg. Frank
lin 'county Pennsylvania, in the month of De
cember IS4L He is descended from that sturdy
and virile race which has furnished to thl«
country some of her noblest sons; a race which
mingles in its current the blood of. two of
the people* which have given energy and force
to the British empire— the Scotch-Irish; the
stock from which springs our noble ¦President,
