THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENT ON.
A Full Attendance of
Delegates.
A Strong Ticket Nominated.
GREAT ENTHUSIASM AMONG THE
PEOPLE.

The city was crowded yesterday
with the delegates to the Democratic
County Convention, the candidates
and citizens interested in seeing the
| Democrats nominate ticket in the
interests of the Taxpayers. After the
| visitors had strolled around our
streets, they made the County Court
House their objective point and soon
crowded the street, corridors and
courtroom in that building. The con-
slant theme of conversation was the
failure on the part of the Independ-
ents to put ticket in the field which
represented the people. The impress
sion was that the Republicans had
stolen the Independent camp and that
the hope of the honest taxpayer was
centred in the action of the Demo-
cratic Convention.
The Convention was called to order
promptly at IL o'clock by Wallace
Woodwork, Chairman of the Demo-
cratic County Central Committee.
Col. Sanford of Los Nietos was
elected temporary chairman, and Mr..
John E. Jackson, temporary secre-
tary.
On motion, a committee of four on
credentials and to prepare an order of
business was appointed, as follows: H.
NJ. Johnston and A. F. Coronel of Los
Angeles, G. Benbrook of Silver pre-
cinct and G. Maclay of San Fernando.
A motion to give this Committee
power to report the permanent organ
ization was defeated.
The Committee on Credentials were
instructed to retire and the delegates
were requested to present their Gre
dentials to the committee Immediate
ly, so as to facilitate business.
After recess of nearly an hour, the
Committee on Credentials reported
that they were not through their bus
mess, and the Convention adjourned
until o'clock in the afternoon.
