MANEUvERING.
Mr.. Smart cast bombshell into the
camp at the very outstart by moving
that the Convention proceed to nomi-
nations by ballot. He raised strong
opposition from MIR. Tonner and 9TH
ers, who favored the adoption of the
system employed in the Independent
State Conventional roll-call and Viva
voce vote. Mr.. Holloway didn't want
to proceed by any dark-antern pro-
cess. If they had axes to grind, let
them be ground openly. Some dele
gates had come pledged for or against
certain candidates; let them show
their hands.
After several parties had asserted
themselves Independents-FreeA Amer
lean Independents!-in the most fore
ible and elegant style, calmer counsel
prevailed, and it was decided to vote
by ballot. .,-
SOME MORE OF THE SAME.
Mr.. Jenkins moved that each NOM
inee "pungle" to the extent of So, to
pay the expenses of the Convention.
(Beer?) Amended that each delegate
pay one dollar. No action.
A delegate suggested that an AS
semblyman be nominated from teach
endn of the county. Mr.. Smart OBJ
jected.
Judge Holloway thought the mo-
ton O gag-untenable and out of Or
der. (Another bombshell)
On motion of Judge Holloway, the
motion was tabled.
Mr.. Shepherd then offered the fol-
lowing resolution, which was adopted:
Res0ived, That whoever shall come
before this Convention for nomina-
tion, shall pledge himself to the sup
port of the nominees of this C0nven-
tion and none other.
FOR ASSEMBLYMEN.
The Convention then proceeded to
to the nomination of Assemblymen,
and the following names We're pre-
sented: j. II. Gordon, Azusa; L. +.
Rucker, Los Angeles; S. A. Davis,
Anaheim; H. Il. Hazard, Los Angeles;
VIM. Mctadden, Anaheim; AleXan-
der Bailey, Anaheim; j. b. Holloway,
Downey City; Alfred Metcalf, Ana
helm; VIM. II. Workman, Los Ange-
les.
Mr.. Holloway withdrew, and Mr..
Workman, not being present to en-
dorse the action of the Convention, his
name was dropped.

appointed tellers, and the Convention
proceeded to vote, with the following
result:
