Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1881-03-05

Armstrong was called to preside as tempo
rary Chairman. On taking the chair he said
he was in favor of the Democracy getting
together aud putting up Democrats for office
There is nothing in the signs of the times to
indicate that the Democracy's work is DONE
He referred as instances to the fact of the
adjournment of the Legislature without pass
ing the necessary bill to carry on the State
government aud to the recent action of Con-
gress regarding financial affairs.
J. P. Dray and David Beveridge were
elected temporary Secretaries.
On motion of r. d. Stephens, the tempo
rary officers were elected permanent officers.
Z. A. Byrne moved for the appointment of
3 Committee on Resolutions and Platform
S. r. Caldwell thought that unnecessary,
as the nominations are to be only for local
officers. The delegates were assembled not
only as Democrats but as citizens of Sacra-
meuto, and he wanted no partisan buncombe
and notions saddled upon the candidates.
r. D. Stephens thought no committee
would present any partisan platform in this
Juncture. But on questions of vital local
inheritance the voters ought to know the
sentiments of the Democracy. The position
of the nominees ought to be clearly defined
on such questions as are now agitating the
minds OF Sacramentans.
Charles Wolleb wanted to know If reso
buttons would keep the water out The only
thing Is to improve the city government by
the nomination of fit men, no matter if they
are Democrats, Republicans or Independents;
the people will vote for fit men, and resolu-
tions won't help them.
Thomas Guinean thought to appoint COM
mittee on resolutions was waste of time.
If the Convention would put up good man
for Mayor he believed the citizens Conven-
ton would indorse him. To nominate full
ticket meant defeat and nothing more.
On putting the question the Chair declared
it carried.
Chris Weisel appealed from the decision
of the Chair BY consent the motion and
appeal were Withdrawn.
MIR. Caldwell moved that the Convention
proceed to nominate First Trustee and dis
pense with further nominations, and take an
adjournment until some future day.
The Convention unanimously resolved to
proceed as once to the nomination of First
Trustee.
Chris Weisel nominated, with eUlogistic
remarks H NJ Larue
Mr.. Caldwell nominated, with compliment
AIRY remarks, John @. Brown. He believed
he was the only man on whom all would
unite.
Mr.. McManus said he was assured the Cit
liens Convention would indorse Mr.. Brown.
Thomas Guinean wanted and moved that
views on the city tax levy.
H. NJ. Bernard would vote for no man
who would not declare himself on that and
the eyee aud debris subjects.
The Chair held the motion was out of or
der at thar time. the Convention having or
dered nominations to be made at once.
The nominations then closed. The roll
was called ana MIR. Brown received 81 votes,
and Mr. Larue received 10 votes. MIR. Brown

Thomas Guinsan moved to adj ourn until s
p. II. Saturday.
The Chair said a place of assembly should
be first secured.
Chris. Weisel moved for a committee of
three on hall Carried
John Domingos wished the adjournment
until 2 P. NJ. Saturday.
Dr. Tyrreil moved an assessment of 80
cents per delegate TO pay for hall and adyer-
Using. Carried ard the money was collected.
nj. McManus moved for a committee of
three to wait on Mr.. Brown and inform him
of his nomination. Carried
The Chair named Messrs. McManus,
Stephens and Vessel
r. d. Stephens moved to proceed to the
nomination for other oficers-for at least two
or three others.
Thomas Guinesn insisted that his motion
TO adjourn only was in order.
Mr.. Stephens insisted upon his position,
and held that other nominations should be
made The Democracy should have at least
half the ticket. The Citizens Convention
will nominate full ticket, and this Conven-
ton will then get but one. 1t was entitled to
other Offices.
Mr.. Woileb agreed with Mr.. Stephens.
M. McManas thought it would be poor
policy to nominate u part of the remaining
offices. IF the Convention is to nominate for
any more, it had better nominate for all.
He opposed further nominations.
Thomas Guinean said the Citizens Con-
vention was non-partisan, and he favored
awaiting its action, which may be accept
able
Chris Weisel said if Democrats went be-
fore the Citizens Convention and took nomi-
nations he would support them. Every one
knew that alone the Democracy can't win in
Sacramento. It was therefore bad policy to
nominate further. This city is in debt and
oyertaxed- He wanted patriots for officers
now to aid in relieving us from debt and
carving the Government on economically,
and not tax it to pay all the debt at once. He
spoke at length on the bond and refunding
question, and favored such step. He urged
union with the citizens movement, or at least
to await It's action.
The motion of Mr.. Stephens, to proceed to
other nominations, was lost by an overwhelm.
ing majority.
Thomas Guinean moved to adjourn until s
p. Saturday.
E. G.. Blessing moved to amend to make it
Up. NJ. Saturday.
DIR. Tyrrell moved TO amend until P. NJ.
Saturday
Mr.. Blessing desired to meet at the same
hour as the Citizens Convention. If it puts
up men it will not take them down. The
Conventions should meet so as to confer to-
erathar IF narnssarv nr 6eaued advisable
Chris. Weisel favored meeting so that a
conference could be had, and thought the two
bodies would accommodate their hours to
each others convenience.
1t was finally agreed that motion be put
to adjourn until P. N. Saturday, all other
propositions being waived, and the motion
was carried
The Chair named Messrs. Dray and Bever-
idge to procure a hall and give notice of the
place of meeting.
