THE DEMOCRACY.
The Central Committee Decides to Call a
Convention to Meet June 9th.

The Democratic County Central Com
mittee met at Pioneer Hall at 1 P NJ. Satm
day H. NJ LaRue called TO order an
directed the Secretary, VIM. Miner, to rea,
the minutes of the last meeting, which wa
done, and the same approved. A larg
number of influential Democrats attende,
the meeting, anticipating lively discus
sion in the committee, as it was general,
understood that they differed widely as t.
how the delegates to the State Convention
at Stockton should be chosen. The Secre
taryS minutes indicated a healthy financia
condition, showing that all bills against the
committee for the last campaign had beer
paid, and balance of $50 still remained in
the hands of the Treasurer.
Mr.. LaRue said that some of the candi,
dates were very backward about coming IN
with their assessments. and some had moi
paid even vet.
The first thing in order was the filling of
the three vacancies existing in the Second
Fourth and Seventh Supervisor Districts
Judge Mckune placed in nomination for
a Committeeman from the Seventh District
Supervisor l. NJ Smith. The latter de-
clined, and named for the position J. NJ.
Stephenson, of Franklin, who was elected.
The declinatiOn of Mr.. Smith caused John
Rooney, of Brighton, to make one of his
vigorous speeches, which was received with
applause. What Mr.. Rooney lacks in Ian
guage Is made up in geSticulation, and he
Is always listened to and watched closely
when he gets warmed up in a political
speech. He says " if there is no split in
the Democratic party this fall the Republi-
cans won't be Il foot high" He denied
Mr.. Smiths right TO decline Mr.. Smith
disclaimed trying to shirk his duty as a
Democrat
Larry O'Laughlin defeated f. p. Figg for
Committeeman in the Second District. and
r. NJ Clarken was elected over Daniel
Brown in the Fourth
So far everything had gone along
smoothly, and those who had attended an
lively proceedings began to feel
discouraged i'll that direction, when NJ.
CrOnin threw' a bombshell into camp by
Offering the proxy of the absent member.
f. l.. Green. a motion to lay on the table
was PUT and declared carried james
Toohey called for 4 division, and Rooney
of Brighton, undertook to make a speech
on the question. when ne was silenced by
the Chair. who held that the question was
llpA NaNbtlNtiplt. liE lllOtlOll ~ tdDlc was
finally lost, and on motion of Townsend,
the Green proxy was admitted.
The Secretary read from the minutes Of
a preceding meeting to show that Townsend
had made motion to the effect that no
proxies should be admitted
Judge Mckme raised the point of order
that the Townsend motion was out of order.
from the fact that ut a previous meeting
motion was made and carried that no proX-
les should be admitted. The Chair held
that the point of order was well taken. but
the decision was appealed from and over
ruled
Considerable discussion then ensued as
10 the best manner of selecting delegates.

IDLY, Judge Mckune moved that d" the COM
mittec 90 into executive session" which
was carried, and reporters and spectators
