DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

This august body met at Sacramento last
Tuesday and at latest accounts was hav-
ing glorious time" Up to Wednes,
day afternoon at 2 0 clock no nominations
had been made, but everything Indicated
the endorsement Of DR.. Glenn for Gov
crnor and all the Democrats on the H.
b. Ticket. Surely this is the mountain
going TO Mahomet bu t as has been said
by some one " Can the parties selling
out the Democratic Party deliver the
goods ?" We doubt it. The following
is from the Bee of Wednesday:
Mr.. Pearce, of Sonoma, then offered
another resolution not to allow anybody
TO receive n nomination in this Conven-
tion who affi lated with any other party.
This brought forth the widest cOniasion
and wild cries of " Call the roll" Out
of ORDER" and "Sit down" etc. The
lie was given and such expressions ms
:" you old duffer," etc. The most dis
graceful exhibition of un reasonable men
never surpassed the circus that ensued
as many as fifty men we're on their feet
at one time, and the Chair declared his
inability to preserve order, ard the Ser
geant at Arms gaveu the ghost at once.
Mr.. O'Connor. of San Francisco, de p
clared that delegates had right to in
struct the Char when the latter was at
fault.
The Chair Sit down, sir I shall
not allow you to instruc: the Chair ~
Stuart Taylor" Is this beer garden
or an assemblage of intelligent men !'
Pearce finally got the floor and spoke
to his resolution.
The roll was called on the ruling of the
Chair, and the latter was sustained.
This vote showed that Glenn had n
strong minority in the COnv vention.
Pearce said he offered the resolution to
ascertain whether it was the intention of
the Convention TO place in nomination
men whom he could not, as Democrat.
support-"hpostates, f." "hAlf- breeds" and
"demagogues. He therefore appe9 led
from the decision o the Chair. The vote
being taken, the Chair was sustained by
a vote of 300 ayes and 81 noes.
Another riotous and disorderly scene
occurred over the question Of appointing
additional Sergeants-at-Arms.
The Chairman stated that lie was tired
of such diiatory m0tions and resolutions
us had been presented, and he display
an almost as bewildered state as the
body of the Convention.
NJ s. Horan wanted order if dozen
men had 10 be appointed.
George Taylor moved that Horan act
AS one OF the peace-keepers himself.
Mr.. Dibble, Of Grass Valley suggested
that a SerPeanl~at Arms be appointed
for the San Francisco delegation, and Mr..
Cutter, of Butte, said that his side of the
House was not in need of any ad litional
officers.
Finally the following we're appointed
as additional Sergeant Arms; Anthony
Green, Chas. A lien, Thos. StapIeton,
Richard Murry, Hawkins and Ransay.
This is from the Record Union of the
same date:
Tn the State Democratic Convention
this morn ing the resolution To exclude
from animation persons holding nom in
ations from other parties WAS voted down
by a vote of 290 to g. The scene that
ensued was exciting in the extreme.

cheered. The defeat Of the resolution is
accepted rs an indication that Glenn, and
perhaps the entire Honorable Blk ticket,
well be indorsed. Many Democrats al
firm that this action will give Perkins
$4,000 Democratic votes.
The prediction relative to Democrats
going for Perkins whenever the Demo
cracy surrenders to faction is not with
out foundation. Prominent Democrats
here have given plain expression to such
sentiment and even goGe 30 far rs to say
that they greatly prefer the Working
mems caudldate to the Chinese employ,
ing land ndmonopoiSts who heads the IL.
Is. ticket. Or course vote for White
would be thrown away, while one tor
Perkins will elfectually squelch those
nice, clean, pure and good souls who are
afraid of contamination by associating
with either Of the old parties.
