ADJOURNMENT.
The credentials were handed in, after
which the Convention adjourned until to-
morrow at a. III.
Friends of johnson and Hearst claim that
their candidates have gained strength since
yesterday. Stoneman has certainly not
gained, while many of his supporters are
weakening for some cause or other.
THE SITUATION COMPARED TO MINISTER
scHENCK's WEAKNESS.
SAN JOSE, June 20;h.-After the adjourn.
ment this afternoon your correspondent heard
prominent Democrat compare the situation
here to a game of poker in which all the
players "stood pat" With limited knowl.
edge of the game, your correspondent would
prefer to compare the situation tonight to
hand that had passed to lack pot" Hearst
has opened the pot with pair of jacks, and
johnson, Stoneman and Taylor, holding good
hands to draw to, are all coming in. No
cards will be dealt on the draw until after
the first ballot.
MISCELLANEOUS GOSSIP.
Really there is nothing new in the situa.
ton. Rumors are plentiful of OBJECTIONS from
Hearsts ranks and additions to Johnson's
and Taylor's, but nothing definite can be
made out of the whole talk
The most dependent man your correspond
ent has seen is Barney Woolf. He wants
very much to be nominated for Clerk of the
Supreme Court, but it is said he will not hare
over twenty of the San Francisco and four of
the Sacramento votes.
The latest bit of gossip is that if Stoneman
is nominated he will be forced to resign his
hali-pay rank in the United States army, as
State statute provides that no person in
receipt of over $500 pay from the United
States Government can be eligible to State
officer This statute could be drawn on him
in his present Office, and would be in case of
his nomination here.
johnson is doing the hardest work, but as
Hearst's headquarters is the only Que where
liquid refreshments are served, his rooms
have the greatest appearance of life.
Hearst received professional visit to-day
from bis San Francisco medical adviser. As
the fight is not yet in its thickest, it is to be
hoped, for the sake of the boys, that the
moneyed man will not be compelled on ac-
count of ill-health to draw out
An immense banner, with General Rose
Grams Headquarters incribed thereon, was
unfurled on Second street this evening.
Judge Ferral, however, is said to be able to
beat Rosecrans for Congress.
WHAT TO-DAY MAY BRING FORTH.
San JOSE, June 20;h.-To morrow, after
consideration of the platform, it is confident
ly expected that nominations for Governor
will be made, but opinions differ as to the
certainty of ballot being reached during
the day. The best authority, however, is
that ballot will be taken, on which the can |
utmost strength, and that on the second bal.
lot evidences Of break will be shown, which
it is thought will be more extensive on the
third ballot, resulting in the gain of johnson,
Stoneman and Taylor. It seems to be the
prevailing opinion. however, that 20 decisive
vote will be reached during the day, an ad-
journment being thought desirable for the
candidate with the sack. Tonight it was
commonly reported that three country dele
gates, coming from within the shadow of the
Sierras, had been purchased during the pre-
vious twenty-four hours for $1,000, and the
consequence was that street quotations for
delegates advanced from $500 to $500 apiece.
THE PLATFORM.
An effort is made to keep the action of the
Committee on Platform secret, but person
who has seen the draft of the platform in the
shape 10 which it will probably be presented,
informed your correspor dent late tonight
that one plank carries slickens on one end and
clear water on the other one plank will ia
vor the repeal of the Sunday law. and an
effort will be made to introduce plank
plelging the candidates to work for law
making a. definite and considerable reduction
