San Francisco, April 11 1890 Hon Leland Stanford San Francisco Cal My Dear Senator The [events?] [of?] the past few days make you far stronger in the state than you have ever been. Coolheadedness and intelligent action make your diction to the Senate sure. I wished to see you in regard to the political situation in Southern California. We think Col [Markham?] the strongest candidate for [Governor?]. He was a good soldier, is a worthy citizen, man of affairs of good abilities of great [reserve?] force of spotless character, fine [presence?] and [?] and much your friend. There are [potent?] reasons which will occur to why that part of the State should [hone?] the candidate; one is that he will unite all the [factions?] [there?]. How he would [run?] in Northern and

Central Cal [?] are more competent to [?] than myself but from all I have seen he would be a popular candidate everywhere. [Waterman?] has no chance to be nominated or [dicted?] if he were. His name would overwhelm the whole ticket [stall?] and Legislative. We shall [hone?] good local tickets and Markham will equal the vote of 1888. This is the substance of what I should have said to you [and?] [I?] write it because I do not wish to trespass on your time should you wish to talk the matter over. I shall be glad to call at any time you may wish. Of course I am not expecting you to take any part in the content for Governor before the nomination, but [hone?] thought it

right to since you the views of [can?] overwhelming majority of [your?] friends in the [?] and the District With great respect and regard Faithfully Yours [NBleanporter?] [Room?] 89 Palace Hotel
