The w"rkinamen's PrGcecdings
Last Night.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 24th.-J.
w. Bones, State Senator-elect, from
Alameda County, came over
from Oakland on the hall
past six o'clock boat last even
ing. He was met at the ferry
landing by Kearney, Wellock
and about 5000 workingmen who
escorted him to Humboldt Hall
where the workingmen's Con-
vsntion was in session. Arrived
there, Bones, Kearney, and
Wellock addressed the crowd in a
few congratulatory remarks and
Ksarnsy dismissed them. The
Convention was called to order at s
P. NJ. Soon after, Sergeant of Pc.
lice Kingsbury entered the hall
and requested the privilege of lis
tening to the proceedings which
was granted after hot discus.
sion, show of hands being
necessary to determine the ques
ton. The Committee on Creden-
tials reported. Objections We're
made to a few delegates, mostly on
technical grounds, but the delega-
tion from the Bernal Heights
Club met fierce opposition on
the ground that the Club, after
Kearney's recent arrest, passed res.
olutions coudemning his incendi-
airy language. The question was
finally settled by the voluntary
withdrawal of the delegation from
the Convention. The report of the
Committee on Credentials was
then adopted. A Committee of
Seven on Permanent Organization
was appointed. The Chairman
was asked to explain the interview
with Call reporter in which the
Chairman was made to say that he
was elected on the strength of his
opposition to Kearney. After some
attempts at lodging, the Chairman
fatty denied that he had made
such remark. A motion was
then made to expel the reporter
which occasioned tremendous
hubbub, but was finally lost on
show of hands. Senator-elect Bones
was then introduced to the audi.
ence. He said he was too hoarse
and too much worn out to speak at
length, but spoke in effect as fol-
lows: "Be moderate. Do not be too
rabid, and you will succeed in your
objects. You can now, after show
ing your strength in a recent cleo
ton, afford to be msgnanimous.
Be easy on the authorities. Go
slow. The party is established be-
You'd dispute; you can now ask

to get it. Don't be vindictive

have no hard feeling against news
papers, but will be as polite and
nice to them as young lady. Be
moderate, and you will be all
right.'
In reply to a question as to what
course lie would take in the Senate
regarding the riot bill, Bones said:
"Don't catechise me tonight. If l
answer one question | will have to
answer dozen, and l am not ready
now to do so. Give me time. If
don't advocate the cause of the
workingnen in the Legislature
you can tell ME of it when / come
back"
A committee of fifteen was then
appointed on Platform. The
Committee on Permanent Organi-
cation reported as follows: For
