THE VOTE DECLARED-BoGGs ELECTED.
The Chair announced the vote as follows:
264 for Boggs and 1913 for Martin.

On motion of Martin of Alameds, Boggs
was declared Chairman by reclamation. J.
c. Martin and I. B. Bishop were appointed
to escort Boggs to the chair.
Boggs was then introduced. He esteemed
the honor as a high one. Esteemed it es-
pecially as he was not the special advocate
of any candidate. In the discharge of the
duties, he promised to act as fairly and i'm
partially as he could. He also asked the in
diligence Of the Convention. He predicted
Democracy would be united from Del Norte
to San Diego. and from the Sierras to the
sea. Out of the material you have to select
from for the head of the ticket you can
scarcely make mistake, or selection that
would not give general satisfaction. The
Democracy is ever ready to deal with living
issues He hoped the Convention would
steer clear of factious issues that would breed
confusion. The Republicans are watching
us to take advantage of any mistake. The
journals are already attacking our candidates.
We do not expect to satisfy our opponents.
The Chair awaits the pleasure of the Conven-
ton.
