SAN Francisco, July 16.-The demo.
cratic state central committee met this
morning to consider the question of pull,
ing down Glenn's name from the head OF
the ticket on account of his implied
promise to support the FL. B. ticket.
Before taking action a committee was
appointed to consult with Glenn, and are
now in session.
At q meeting of the democratic state
central committee to-day to take into con-
sideration the question of hauling down
DIR. Glenn's name, he was denounced as
q traitor to the democratic party and j.
p. Hoge and Controller Brown demand
ed his displacement from the head of the
ticket. Mayor b. yant deprecated hasty
action, and a committee of four, with T..
NJ. O'Connor at its head was appointed
to wait upon DIR. Glenn and request his
attendance before the committee to an
twer q few questions. Recess was then
AIKEN. At about ] o'clock Glenn return
ed with the committee, and when asked
to explain what he meant by his letter to
the FL. Bs., said that it expressed all that
he felt npon the subject. that he had
been nominated by the Fl. Bs., and in
justice to them he would have to suppor,
the ticket, as he had been first nominated
by them. This ended the conference
and after some debate it was decided tC
adjourn without taking action until Sat
erday next OF o'clock, and in the mean
time to ascertain the sentiments of the
Glenn down. It is believed that large
fIa co.
| of taken him off the ticket, and Stephens
| of Sacramento had seven proxies in hi
possession which he was ready to vote il
the affirmative. It is charged that the
| movement to take Glenn off the ticke
has its origin with the friends of Cover
| nor Irwin who wants to substitute hin
| for Glenn.

holds the warrant, and has made no az
count of it. Warrant No. 100, for $3.50
was issued to pay an amount claimed b

, mayor instructed me to draw these wa
rants and the treasurer would receipt f
the money.
By section II of the Dupont street a
: the board were limited to the sale
!: bonds to such an amount as would pr
duce the sum total of that required +

the law under which the board was cres
e ed and was acting, they sold 50 bonds
: $1,000 in excess of the amount their !

On one occasion James Phelan put
/ bid for large amount of Dupont sire
i, bonds, something over S100, 900, and /
}. companied his bid with a certified che
y on the First National Gold Bank, payal
to the treasurer, for $4,000. His |
2 proved to be the highest and best b
% and was accepted. Mr.. Phelan was
notified, and that his bonds were rea
]. for delivery. Upon learning that
= I. bid was so much higher than the othe
J, he refused to take the bonds, and
is check was declared forfeited, and Phe]
u. notified in writing to that effect, and
De treasurer was instructed to draw
oe check and place the money in the /
~ pont street fund. No account anywh
appears of this money Mr.. Phe1an
in another bid for much lower fgu
