ESPECIAL By TELEGRAPH TO THE RECORD UNION.
Los ANGELES, August 25th-The Con-
vention was called to order at 5 o'clock, at
Armory Hall, by Chairman Williams. He
congratulated the Convention On assemb-
ling under such favorable auspices-a
Convention of delegates, not proxies-gen-
tlemen who represent the best interests of
the party. The delegates were sent directly
from the people. He believed such Con-
vention would not fail to nominate a ticket
that would be successful at the polls. He
asked all to lay aside personal preferences
and local prejudices, and nominate the best
man available for the Office Let your
platform be honest and manly say what
you mean, and mean what you say. Be
true to the interests of that party that gave
US Lincoln [cheers], a Grant [cheersl and
the lamented Garfield [cheers.l A party
that has for its leader the statesman Blaine
Loud and prolonged cheers from the del
egates and the galleries.
II. H Boyce, of Los Angeles, nominated
of San Francisco, who was unanimously
elected. H. c. Osborne was elected Secre-
tary, and several Assistant Secretaries, all
of Los Angeles The Sergeant-at-Arms and

tended owing to the fact that Los Angeles
foots all the expenses of the Convention.

SECOND DISPATCH.
Los ANGELES, August 25th.-The Sacra-
mento delegation stands: Mcfarland Is,
Abbott Is, Reed II, Dimond A, Swift 2.
They offer to support Bronson for Judge if
Alameda will support Mcfarland.
The report of the Committee on Order of
Business tomorrow will recommend the
nomination of three Associate Justices be-
fore adopting the platform.
TOSoDl, NICK emma WAS riOnniDatad
night for Congress from the Third District.
There was no opposition.
Things are mixed more tonight on the
Gubernatorial fight than ever. tits claimed
that the Spreckels forces, heretofore sup
posed to be for Swift are standing out, and
deadlock is looked for. In that event it
is said the dark horse will be either Nc
Comb, Judge Blake or w. W. Montague.
The First, Second, Fourth and Fifth Con-
gressional Districts have made no nominal
tons. The Sixth will renominate Mark
ham by reclamation if he will accept. A
telegram has been wired him to that effect |
tonight.
THIRD DISPAICH.I
Los ANGELES, August 25th.-At late
hour tonight the Swift men again claim
to lead On the first ballot Jennings, Nc
Mullin, Chambers and Perkins, Of the Sac
ramento delegation, will vote for Dimond,
Harvey and Alsip for Swift and the other
twelve for Reed. J. II. Neff, of Placer,
seems to have the call for Treasurer, al
though Wells friends are working like
beavers. For Secretary of State Orr seems
to have the lead, closely followed by Craig,
of Trinity, and Moore, of Los Angeles.
Frank Ryan is practically out of the fight.
Friends of Carothers, of Msndocino, claim
he will be nominated for Attorney General
Al l~o1 IL, 70 H.,
certain, as Carroll Cook, of Alameda, seems
to have much positive strength Judge
Mcfarland, of Sacramento, is the most
popular candidate before the Convention,
and he has walk-over for Associate JUS
tice. Abbot of Sacramento, for Railroad
Commissioner, seems to be far in the lead. |
VIM. Johnston, of Sacramento, for
Leutenant-Governor, has a strong fol- |
lowing, but that Office is lost
sight of in the Gubernatorial fight |
Grunsky's friends are working hard for his
nomination for urveyor-GeD eral, but if
Sacramento is given aSupreme Judge and
Railroad Commissioner it will initiate
against him. Many combinations have
been formed contingent upon the Guber
material nomination, and the selection of a
dark horse. which is in no wise improb-
able, may make many changes in the above
forecast. The Alameda delegation tonight
resolved to support Judge Hamilton, of
Oakland, for the Supreme Bench.
There are ninety-six newspaper CORE
spondents registered at the press headquar-
tiers. They were visited tonight by Senator
A. P. Williams. In a private interview
with the REcoRD-UEIoH correspondent at
IL O'Clock tonight, Senator Williams
said the Guberuatorial fight was mixed.
Swift he considered ahead, followed by
Reed, Harrison and Dimoni in the order
named.
