SAN Francisco, May 1.-THE Working
mems State Convention met at 10 A. NJ. in
Humboldt Hall, and was called to order

San Joaquin, Alameda, Los Angeles, Santa
Cruz, Santa Clara, and some other coun-
ties. A Committee on Credentials was APP
pointed, which reported at $50 O'Clock.
The report included several recommends
tons, one Of which was, that in accordance
with the action Of the San DISCO Club, the
Los Angeles delegation should be permit
ted to cast the vote of San Diego ; also.
that any delegate present from any county,
ward, or precinct, should be entitled to
cast the vote in default of full representa-
ton. A long wrangle occurred over these
recommendations, which we're finally set
tied by adopting the report as regarding
credentials, and leaving the recommends
ton for further consideration. Nomina-
lions for temporary officers being in order,
j. II. Mallon of Oakland, Blake Pilking-
ton Of Santa Cruz, J. E. Pond of Napa, J..

1t il not certain whether or not the con-
v~ention will appoint delegates to the Ma.
tional Greenback and Labor Convention
its main object being to revise the consti.
tuition and the organization Of the party.
The vote on temporary chairman would
seem to indicate that the Greenbackers
lacked a majority.
Delegates to the Democratic State Con.
vention are numerous in the city. 1t is
believed that the convention will express
a preference for Thurman, but no positive
instructions will be given.
In the case Of I. M. Kalloch, he was held
to answer on the charge of having muir
dered Charles De Young. He will be tried
on an information made by the District
