ment proposing to take DR.. GleDr
eff the ticket and to proceed TO fill

ment.
Thompson, of Sonoma, offered
the following resolution:
WHEREAS, The Dem ocratic State
Convention nominated DR.. Hugh
J. Glenn for Governor under the
conviction, sustained by the fact,
that he was delegate to the Con
vention duly accredited and repre-
sented in that body, and by his
public declaration that he was in
accord with the Democratic parry;
and. whereas, the question has
now come before the Committee as
to the prcpriety of retaining him
on the ticket; therefore be 1t
Resolved, That it is the sense ol
this Committee that it has no power
to take the name of DIR. Glenn from
the ticket, in view of the fact thai
the Democratic : "a . Convention,
by majority of its members, de-
clined to exact any pledge of Dr.
Glenn Notwithstanding the we'll
known fact that he was the nomi-
nee of another party. That while
this Committee regrets that any
misunderstanding should have
arisen, it believes that any later.
ference at this juncture with the
action of the State Convention
would only tend to strengthen the
Republican ticket representing the
railroad and other monopolies OF
the State.
Resolved, That the Democrats
throughout the State are urged tt
stand by the action of the regular
party Organization and support the
nominees of the State and loca
Conventions.
Mr.. Roach offered the following
amendment;
WHEREAS, The Democratic State
Convention of California has con-
fided to the State Central Commit
tee the duty Of promoting, by al
honorable means, the election OF
its nominees; and whereas, the
candidate for the position of Chic
Magistrate declared in his lette
sent to the Convention that he ha:
been lifelong Democrat, and tina
if elected his administration would
be Democratic, and believing tha
such declarations have been made
as they would be understood aDt
carried out by Tilden. Thurman
Bayard, Hendricks or other distin.
guished Democrats in addressing
the Democracy of their respective
States; therefore be it
Resolved, That with this under.
standing of the aforesaid letter we
pledge our earnest efforts to elect
Hugh j. Glenn to the office o.
Chief Magistrate of California.
Then William T. Coleman spoke
He was opposed to the removal o.
DR.. Glenn. He did not believe thai
the State Central Committee haG
any power to do so after the action
of the Convention in putting him
before the people as their nominee
They had exacted of him no pledge
or promise, knowing fully that he
was the candidate of the New Con.
stitution party. He offered q reso
luton to that effect to get the sense
OF the Committee.
The numerous resolutions had
placed the meAting in muddle
and a discussion was INDUCED in
on parliamentary tactics to deter.
mine what resolution was before
the house. After various conces
sions the Chair ruled that Roach's
amendment to Thompson's resolu
tion came first, Thompson's mex
and then the substitute offered by
Hoge and accepted by Stephens
The vote taken on Roach's amend
ment stood % in its favor to
against.
After the vote, Dibble of Nevads
offered a resolution to the effec
that, whereas, DR.. Glenn had in
dorsed the New Constitution plat
form and agreed to support th'
ticket after being nominated b,
the Democratic State Convention
his action was virtually d resigna
ton and his place on the ticke
was vacant.
This was lost by the preceding
vote, % to 8.
Thompson's resolution as com
bined with Roach's, was then adopt
ed by a vote of "A to 6, Boggs, o
Napa, and Thompson, of Sonoma
coming over to the cause of DR.
Glenn. This did away with tn,
Hoge resolution and settled tn
question.
The resignation of 10 Hamilton
candidate for Attorney-General, b,
stating that the reasons he hat
given before still were potent in in
ducing his refusal, was received
He stated, also, that he desired t.
