SECOND DISPATCH.1
STOCKTON, June 9th.-The proposed and ex-
peetcd fight over the State Central Committee is
the principal subject of discussion. Buckley
has plan which has already nearly reached
the point of success, by which he hopes to Sc
cure absolutely One-half of the Convention and
thus secure the results desired by him He has
formed Il coalition with Clay W. Taylor ofShasta
and Frank McCOppin of San Luis Obispo bv
which, if they can hold their delegations and
accompanying friends together. he will have
If they cannot, then he will not be able to de
termine whether he is to prevail until ii vote is
taken. His friends charge that Carroll is in the
field making liberal offers for proxies though
with what measure of success has not trans
pired. The utmost activity prevails, and every
thing else is almost lost sight of in the
bitterness of this struggle for the party
control. Ex-senator Moreland. the Gov
ernorS Private Secretary, arrived last even
ing, and 1t Is whispered that his Crrand
IS TO procure the passage of resolutions indOrs-
ing the Governor action in calling the extra
session. Secretary of State Thompson and Mr.
Shattuck, his deputy, arrived last evening.
Buckley'S candidates for positions on the State
Central Committee from San Francisco, so far as
the programme has been arranged. are; EN-
Mayor \. j. Bryant. Peter Hopkins George r.
Mayre, Jr., DR.. J. NJ. Eaton, DR.. Bryan, !. J.
Flynn hay and grain merchant 7. J. TOmaity
Judge Lawler and K: F. Hammond, though the
two latter are not as certain as the remainder.
General Tom Williams, Jr., is said to be the
choice of the san Joaquin Democracy for the
State Committee. 1t is said this evening that il
has been determined that Ray Falk shall be
made Secretary of the Convention. George
Hearst Is mentioned as II candidate for the Ma
tional Convention. For Congress the fight has
narrowed down to a struggle between K. p
Hastings and Senator Jerry Lynch in the Fourth
District and Senator Frank J. Sullivan, of
san Francisco, and senator Barney Murphy.
of San Jose. But from this district dark horse
coming either from San Matco or Santa Cruz is
so persistently and frequently hinted at us to
strengthen the belief that neither of the Seua-
tors referred to is to grasp the prize though
Sullivan will have headquarters here to-mor-
row and make fight for it. The name san
Mateo suggests is James V Coleman and al
though he has been everywhere announced as
being out of the fight, il is more than probable
that it is not SO. Not enough country delegates
have made their appearance yet to enable your
reporter to form any satisfactory or accurate
idea of how they will stand ON the State Central
Committee fight or who they prefer for the
various offices to be disposed Of though with the
exception of the Los Angeles district, it is said
In that district Senator K. f. Del Vale wants
the nomination, and will probably get it, from
present appearances.
