LATEST FROM THE FRONT.
SAN Francisco, September 3d-11:40
p. M.-There seems to be a very satisfactory
feeling among the delegates concerning the
nominations thus far made. So much so,
that they could not wait until the full
| ticket was nominated before celebrating,
and hence adjourned from this afternoon
till tomorrow, in order to ratify and in
dorse the Conventions action so far as it
has gone. The remaining work of the
Convention is the nomination of Surveyor
| General, Superintendent of Public InstTuc-
ton, Clerk of the Supreme Court and the
| selection of State Central Committee
| The candidates for Surveyor General are
| o. f. Miller, of Sacramento; Chalmers
Scott, of Alameda, and Charles McCray, of
Santa Cruz. There may be other candi-
dates, but these are all that is heard from
tonight.
For Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, Welcker does not desire a renomina-
ton. The candidates are A. j. Moulder,
| Superintendent of the San Francisco Pub
| lie Schools, and who has already filled the
| position of State Superintendent in the far
/ distant past. Moulder is making an active
canvass for the place, but is strongly op-
posed by Robert Hastings. Hastings was
once President of the City Board of Educa-
| ton. H. c. kinne another candidate is
pushing hard, and c. N. Ritter, Assistant
Principal of the Stockton High School. is
newly in the field, and claims the Office
upon the ground of representation for
that section upon the State ticket. Moulder
| is believed by Democratic soothsayers to be
| the favorite candidate.
| ]. d. Spencer, the present Clerk of the
| Supreme Court, is regarded as almost GER
| tain of denomination. EX-Clerk Barney
! Woolf desires to reoccupy the position,
but is claimed to possess but little strength.
| These remaining nominations, and the
| election of State Central Committeeman.
will probably occupy but short time and
! then the people will have full list of the
nominees, who are not going to be elected
next November.
