THE BALL OPENED.
When the Convention was called to order late
this forenoon, the general talk was that the
resolution concerning Attorney-GeneralM Mas lall
would be reconsidered. The controversy engeE-
dered much hard feeling. After the session last
evening delegates say that hard words passed
between Reddy of Mono and Spencer of Napa.
The close vote seemed to indicate that the result
might be reversed. Next to the Marshall matter
the Tildcn letter of declinatiOn was discussed.
A fight was imminent on the naming of the
State Central Committee. Chairman White
called for order. Niles Searls of Nevada
called attention to Il resolution which states that
it is the Democratic doctrine " once an Amer
lean citizen" etc He denounced this as
European doctrine An amendment to make
the resolution read that 1t is the duty of the
Government to protect the native and alien
born citizens was adopted in lieu OF the orig
inal resolution, without debate.
A Santa Cruz delegate introduced II resolution
deprecating the action OF the majority of the
State Central Committee last August in refer
cnce to the extra session and Railroad Commits
SOnerS and the cenSure of fourteen members.
Sidney Lacey of Los Angeles rose to say that
the state Central Committee had nothing to dc
with the Railroad Commissioners. He did not
propose to be bulldoZed by Chairman J. II. Wise
He had understood last evening that this reSOlu
ton was to be brought here to-day to read out
of the party men who were true to the Demo
cratic partv-mcn who were truer than Others
here. He came here on the proxy of John ;
Enos He explained nj length his action in the
State Central Committee, and said there was al
attempt to cinch those who had done their duty.
THE NoMINATIoN OF HUMPHREYS.
He proposed to tell how Humphreys was nom
mated. He was named by GTeathOuSe and
stow % went to Buckley and asked who the
men were who had brought about the nominal
ton of Humphreys, and he said that it was
trpathOuSe
MI. Wise said that he could not sit by and
hear such Il resolution introduced quietly. He
had friends all over the State and they were
Judges of his Democracy.
| j. W Breckenridge, of MERGED, asked Mr. Wise
| if. when the nomination of Humphreys was
made he was aware of the bargain.
| Mr. WiSe-NO sir; no, sir | asked Buckley
who the man was back of the nomination and
| he said it was GTcathOuSe.
| r. +. Del Vale, of Los Angeles, opposed the
| resolution. He would condemn Humphreys
and Carpenter, but would not go further. This
| Convention has no right to condemn men for a
| question OF Judgment in the State Central Com
| Inittee. The Senatorial District is responsible
| for the man sent as II member of the State Cen
| trail Committee. If any man Is there unfaithful
! let him not be returned.
| Buckley of San Francisco rose to explain con.
| corning Mr. Wise'S statement. Wise, he said
| called on him and he Buckley made the state
ment that Humphreys had BEEN sanctioned by
| Greenhouse. Buckley advocated Humphreys AT
| san Jose on his previous record. Greathoust
| did not then know that Humphreys was the
man that he had turned out TO be. Had Great
| house known Humphreys he would have op
| posed him.
MIR. Wise rose to contradict Buckley on on,
point.
| this Let's stop here
| A big row seemed imminent. 4 batch of res
| olutions came up to the platform The first on'
| was To instruct the Harbor Commissioners no
| to employ any of the Senators and Assembly
| mon who fell down and WOrShiDcl the rail
| road god in the extra session. delegate
| leaped to his feet and shouted, sarcastically
| Yes let us ccnsure everybody confusion
| enSued. and. to avoid further wrangling, II wa
| voted to commit all resolutions 10 the Committe,
on Platform, which was instructed to report a
| l o'clock.
