TIE CONVENTION ADJOURNS.
Resolutions Adopted : Executive
:. Committee Selected = Closing
Scenes OF the Convention.

The State Anti-Chinese Convention was
called to order at 10 A. NJ. yesterday The
attendance of members was not so large as
on the previous day, owing to the fact that
many of the San Francisco and other dele
cations had left for home after the passage
of the boycott resolution. The attendance
OF spectators, however was not in the
least diminished, the lobby and galleries
being at all times crowded
The first thing in order was the discuss
ing of the remaining resolutions in the re-
port of the Committee ON Resolutions fol-
lowing the one that recommended boycott
ing. MANY amendments were offered, but
all were voted down except the following,
which was added: "That all vacancies in
said Executive Committee shall be filed
by election of the clubs and leagues of the
county IN which the vacancy occurs; and
that in case any county is not represented
in this Convention, then that the commit
teeman from that county be filled by the
election of the clubs and leagues in that
county"
The other resolutions were then adopted
without change.
Elwood Bruner. of Sacramento, offered a
resolution exempting from the bovcott all
persons who in good faith made an effort
to supplant Chinese by white labor
Senator Kellogg raised the point of order
that it had been decided that all resolutions
should be referred to the Committee on
Resolutions.
The Chair decided the point well taken.
The question of the adoption of the reso-
iutions as a whole was then put and car
VIZ tr-rAl y. lxr a,
votes. The vote was greeted with wild
cheers, many standing in their chairs and
waving their hats.
EXPLAINING THEIR POSITIONS.
Mr.. Newlands of San Francisco, asked,
as personal privilege, to be allowed to ad-
dress the Convention for a moment. He
wanted to say that he approved of every
thing done by the Convention except the
passage Of the resolution recommending a
boycott. (Cries. We have done nothing
else. Everything else is buncombe; but
boycott means business.
Frank Pixley said he too, claimed the
privilege of making a personal explana-
ton. He heartily indorsed every act of the
Convention except the resolution authoriz-
ing 4 boycott. You outnunlbered us. You
have swallowed us, and we are now PASS
ing through a state of digestion and my
word for il. We will sit heavily upon your
the vanquished. When the vote was
taken last night adopting the boycott we
called for the roll call, but III the confusion
which then prevailed the Chairman failed
to hear us, and in consequence we were
deprived of the privilege of going on record
as voting against that infamous resolution.
Boycotting is not in accordance with hui
manity, not in accordance with common
decencv.
Mr.. Barry said that an impression had
gone forth that this was political conven-
ton, controlled by and in the interest of
certain politicians, aspirants for political
honors. He repudiated the idea. 1t was
false. 1t was bipartisan in every sense
of the word. He offered a resolu-
tion to that effect and it was unanimously
adopted.
Dennis Kearney said he hoped that the
remarks of Mr.. Barry would not in any
way disqualify him (Kearneyla.from secur-
ing possession of the Gubernatorial chair
next November. [Laughter.l
At 11:30 the Chair declared a recess of
thirty minutes in order to allow the dele
cations from the different counties an op-
portunity TO select from their number
person whom they desired to be placed
upon the Executive Committee. The dele
cations met in little knots in different por-
tons of the chamber. In most instances
selection was agreed upon with but little
trouble. while in others the rivalry was
spirited and the selections not satisfactory
to all.
A UNANIMOUS CHOICE.
The Tuolumne delegation, consisting of
five members, was called to meet in the
southeastern portion of the Hall The del
egation was called to order by J. G. McFar
nahan, one of the members, who by the
way, held the proxies of the other four.
He said he wanted to be fair, to take no
undue advantage and, if any other mem
ber of the delegation desired the position,
he would not take it. He wanted it dis
tinctly understood that he did not want the
place, was not seeking for political distine
ton or notoriety, had no ak to grind, and
would rather some other of the gentlemen
who were delegates would take the posi-
ton He would gladly vote for either of
them, and could vouch for their anti-Chi-
nese record. He paused for reply. No
answer came from the four empty chairs
upon which the proxies ,av He then
placed himself in nomination, and voting
all the proxies for himself, he announced
that J. c. McFarnahan, having received the
unanimous vote OF the Tuolumne delega-
ton, was the unanimous choice and so re-
ported it to the Convention.
MGLAsHAN IN THE CHAIR.
When the Convention was again called
TO order the Chair announced that in order
to complete his work upon the appoint
ment of the Executive Committee, he would
have to ask for farther time. He called C.
F. McGlashan to the Chair, and then re-
tired to arrange his appointments from the
recommendations handed in by the various
delegations
Horace Davis, Chairman of the Commit
tee on Resolutions, handed in large bun
die of resolutions. He said they had been
placed in the hands of his committee by
direction of the Convention. The COM
mittee had performed the duty first
assigned them. They had formulated set
of resolutions that covered all the grounds
for which the Convention had assembled.
The baby boycott was born il was q
strong vigorous and healthy child, and the
committee did not think the resolutions he
now returned to the Convention were
necessary for consideration at this time. He
moved that they be turned over to the Ex-
ecutive Committee, and the Committee on
Resolutions be discharged.
After some little discussion the motion
prevailed, and recess was taken until 1:3O
Pm.

ton to order after the noon recess. ths
