The Convention reassembled for the third
days session at 10 o'clock this morning, Vice
President Pond in the chair.
Clark said he had written communica-
tion from Denis Kearney.
Mr.. Millen, who occupied the chair at the
time, ruled the communication in order.
Clark of Gilroy rose to make an explana-
tion.
Braunhart rose ard demanded the commu-
nication read without comments from Mr..
Clark. This demand was greeted with Kisses
and chorus of groans, principally from the
lobby.
One delegate jumped up and said he wished
to hear nothing from delegates who obtained
word from Kesrney to intimidate the Con-
vention. Another scene of great confusion
followed, members jumping from their seats
and bawling continuously.
The communication reads as follows:

SECOND DIsPATCH.l
SAN Francisco, MAY 10Th. The discussion
over the reception of KAarneys communica-
ton occupied the time of the Convention
until P. NJ. the debate being very hot
Braunhart made 6ve-minute speech in
opposition to the sending of delegates to
Chicago
1t was moved that the communication be
received and spread upon the minutes.
Waldron amended, that the communication
of Kearney be received, and spread on the
minutes, and be adopted as the sentiment of
the Convention.
J. FL. Redstone favored Mr.. Waldron's
motion.
Waldron's amendment was finally adopted
-55 to AZ.
Gallagher of San Francisco changed his
vote, and gave notice of reconsideration amid
great excitement.
An appeal was taken from the decision of
the Chair sustaining the motion to reconsider.
After a long-continued and boisterous dis
cussion, during which recrimination was freely
INDUCED in, the whole matter was laid on the
table.
An adjournment was then had until P. NJ,
amid excitement and confusion.
Immediately after adjournment most of the
country members, with number of city del
egates, met in the hall, with President
Millen in the chair. and appointed tenn
porary Sergeant-at-Arms to keep the lobby in
order.
Hillen said he understood the meeting was
merely an assembly of interior delegates for
consultation. If it was to be considered
reconvening of the State Convention he would
not take the chair.
Waldron. of Los Angeles, said this was the
real Workingmen's Convention, as the ad-
journment had not been fairly carried, and
the city members had sought to obstruct pro-
ceedings. If Millen would not continue in
tho chair olsa oO1ll ha fn,,pA fr
take it.
Udell, of Yolo, thought the meeting con-
ference and caucus.
The Chair wanted the responsibility of
breaking up the Convention to rest on the
city, not on the country members, and sug-
gested that those present consider the motion
to adjourn the Convention. If it was wrong
fully decided in the affirmative, then they
should at once adjourn their meeting and
meet again in the Convention with the city
delegates in the evening. The Chair also
suggested that, considering the meeting as
a Convention, they adjourn Immediately to
assemble as a caucus to consider their future
course.
Ell. NJ. Moore was chosen temporary Secre-
tary.
The question of disagreement was then
debated at length, the point being fully de-
veloped that the opposition were being
manipulated in the interest of the Democ-
racy, while those present were in favor of the
Greenback Labor party.
At the conclusion of the debate the meet
ing adjourned to meet with the whole Con-
Yention at s o'clock tonight.
The meeting then resolved itself into
caucus, and after coming to an informal un-
derstanding to act together in the Convention,
adjourned.
There will probably be hot fight this
evening, as the city delegation will endeavor
to drum up enough absentees to control the
Convention in the interest of bargain
alleged to have been made with the Democ-
racy.
The KallOch-De Young Libel Case.
SAN Francisco, May 19th.-The case of
M. H. De Young, charged with libel upon l.
s. Kalloch by the publication in the Chronicle
of an extract from the New York World, re-
lating to the testimony of J. HI. Clementshaw
at the Coroner's inquest, came up for hearing
in the Police Court at o'clock this after
noon.
The prosecution was conducted by H. Z.
Highton, and the defense by Alexander
Campbell, R. II. Lloyd and ex-District At
torney Murphy.
John T. Young, managing editor of the
Chronicle, was the first witness called, and
ctdtcu III dCCOiuduCc Will u subpoena,
duces tecuna, he did not bring any copy Of the
Chronicle containing the alleged libel, because
he did not own or have the custody of the
files of the Chronicle, and could not produce
what was not his own.
The Court held that the position of the
witness was correct, and Mr.. Highton stated
that as he had no other witness to offer, he must
ask a continuance on the ground of a sur
prise.
Mr.. Campbell opposed any continuance on
this ground.
Mr.. Highton said that he was not supplied
with authorities upon the point in question,
but would argue upon the technical points
involved.
The Court stated that Mr.. Highton was
entitled to a continuance, whereupon the
defense offered to produce copy of the pa
per wanted rather than to have a continuance
of the case
Mr.. Young was then questioned by Mr..
Highton, and stated, in answer to the ques-
ton as to who were the proprietors of the
Chroniclc, that NJ. II. De Young was the
sole proprietor; that since the death of Chas.
De Young he had received Orders from no
