THE CALIFORNIA WORKINGMEN
In State Convention at Sau Francisco,
with Dennis KearHeT In the Lead
Tho First Days session
Consumed by Dennis's
A8ranRue.

SAN Francisco, June 3.-The Working
mems State convention assembled here to-
day. Thirty counties are represented and
delegations from others are expected. Den.
mis- Kearney called the convention to order
and deliYed an address reviewing the present
condition and future prospects of the patty.
bis reference TO proposed repeal or the
national banking act and the issuance of
notes from the trea ury OF the United States
met with much enthusiasm from the conven-
ton. While the committee on credentials
were IN consultation resolution was adopted
in respect to the memory of the late General
Shields. The committee on credentials hay
ing reported, Committees were appointed on
platform, resolutions, permanent organiza-
ton and order of business. The latter COM
mittee reported In favor of Dennis Kearney
for permanent president, which was received
with the greatest appliance. After deciding
upon other business, the convention ad iourned
until tomorrow, to give the committee on
platform tune to report. The proceedings of
the convention have thus far been harmoni-
Gus, though marked by a tendency to prolong
discussion on minor topics, a fact noticeable
at previous conventions of the Workingmen,
who were somewhat delayed by their Ignor-
ance of parliamentary rules. 1t is understood
that there is an element In the convention In
favor of q new constitution 1t is party
movement, and it Is expected that it will show
its hand tomorrow in an attempt to either
carry or split the convention. 1t is consid-
cred, however, that this element is not suf-
6ciently strong to carry either point, aud that
the proceedings will be conducted to a sue
cesstul termination.

RED as EMS DOHNGS
In West VIrxI1ia-Seven OF the Gang
Arrested who have been Setting
Law and order at Defiance
In Weibell County
The Citizens StIu
In Terror.

WHEELING, June 1.-SeveD men of the
gang Of red men who have been deiying law
and order in Weibell county, in this State,
were arrested to-day. Mr.. John Huren-
baugh, who was driven from his home last
week and ordered to leave the State within
thirty days or be hung, after some difficulty
persuaded Justice Morris, of Benton, to take
his information and issue warrants for the
gang that attacked his house. The warrants
were made out and put in tie hands of a
special constable, Petit, who deputized a
number of citizens t. assist him, and after
securing the country for some time finally
bagged seven OF the gang. Their trial will be
commenced Tomorrow, and as fifty witnesses
have been summoned it will probably last
for some days. The condition of affairs in the
neighborhood of Littleton are exciting and at
the same time deplorable. The town is
guarded nightly by patrol of citizens who are
fearful that the red men will put into execu-
ton their threats of demolishing the town.
The patrol has been increased since the arrest
of the seven men noted before, and every
effort will be made to restore the reign of
order and law. Mr.. Joseph Lively and fam
lily Saturday left for Washington county,
Pennsylvania, his thirty days notice having
expired, the red men threatening to hang
him if found within the county at the expira-
