Evening sessIon--C Continued
from Paae T.

Ously on the table and the stentorian
notes OF the chairman rang out over the
noise for order He called twenty
times: "Won't you preserve orderf sil
down. Preserve the semblance Of or
deri"
DR.. Harvey, Of Sacramento, when or
der was obtained, named X. I. Devlin,
Of Sacramento, for Attorner. General,
and appealed to tho convention to con-
slider the geography Of the State and lei
the north have something.
Carter, of Tehama, named Judge
Geo. A. Blanchard, of Colusa.
Searle, Of Alameda, put forward Car
Of Cook. Of that county.
Col. Dickenson, Of San Francisco, sec
onded Blanchard. Esgon, Of Amador,
did the same.
Elgerton, of San Francisco, endorsed
the candidacy Of Devlin.
Fitch, Of San francisco, got up on ths
stage and made most eloquent appeal
for w. H. Ii. Hart, of San Francisco,
particularly as an old soldier. 1t wal
one of the finest displays Of rhetoric
ever heard. and electrified the conven
| ton.
Carotbers, of Mendocino, was put be.
fore the convention, but 80 enthusiastic
was the crowd for Fitch's man that,
beginning with Carol Cook, all the other
delegates Withdrew in favor of Hart, who
went in by reclamation.

chair, while General Barnes went down
on the floor to nominate Theodore Reich
trt, OF San Francisco, for Surveyor Gen.
eral. He did it in a masterpiece Of elo.
quence, which sent his man into place
On the very heels OF the convent n,
all other candidates going down before
him as they did before Hart for The
other Office. This took place In spite Of
appeal alter appeal from the interior
to san Francisco to let them have one
place ON the ticket. One member from
San Joaquin who tried to advocate the
claims OF a friend was met with repeated
storms of interruption. The Chair tried
ia vain to preserve order. and General
Barnes was in it again. The speaker
| said: II am not easily choked off. II
is good thing for you there is Eve
minute rale, or / would talk you out
am in an American, a Republican Con.
vention. and expect fair play"
The vote stood, Robert Gardner IS, G.
Il. Grunsky of San Francisco ~, VIM
Mimic Of Alamo ds 30, Theo. Reichert OF
San Francisco 1852.
A San Joaquin member got up and
moved that all the rest Of the officers BE-
gwen to san Francisco and that the del.
cation from that city name their men.
He was ruled out OF order.
Then zane the office of Superintend
ant Of Public Instruction, for which F.
A. Campbell, of Alameda, named Ira G..
Hoitt, Of San Francisco. A. r. Briggs,
Of San Francisco, seconded.
Burns, of Siskiyou, made long ha
angue about getting man from
outside of San Francisco. He also
wanted soldier, and nominated s. ID.
Waterman, of Stock ton. The vote was
Hoitt, 1853; Waterman, 1877. 1t was
manifestly "cold day" for the country
districts and for old soldiers.
For Clerk of the Supreme Court L. B.
Miner, Of Solano. named w. I. COST.
gan of his county. The speaker made
one more very pathetic plea for the
northern part of the State. He said
San Francisco has the Governor, the
Attorney. General, the Surveyor General,
the Superintendent of Pablo Instruc-
ton. The upper part of the State has
nothing. 1t never has got any thing
for ten or fifteen years. Here
Miner was called to order by the
Chair as having spoken too long.
He retorted upon General Barnes
II have not spoken half as long
as you did. and l deny your right
to call me to order for this. Now who
is sat down upon?" This was followed
by misses and cries of ''Rais."
Miner continued: "The man from
San Francisco who replied SO glibly to
me, Yes, and we will have another,
can now take all there is left"
Blanchard of Colusa seconded this sen.
timent in much the same tone and tenor.
The northern citrus belt seemed to have
got into q political blizzard. They
should get some Los Angeles blankets
to cover their candidates and save them
from the San Francisco fog. Blanchard
asked for j. A. Orr of Plumas.
Drury Malone poured the oil Of, his
smooth eloquence on the troubled waters
and asked for votes for Orr.
1t was q spectacle to see the "bosses
running about and passing the word to
the legion in what direction they were
to fie
Inwall, of Alameda, wanted to name a
soldier, e. W. Jones. but Kowalski said
there was already soldier on the ticket
aud that ought to be enough for all the
G.. A. r.
Clark, of San Francisco, said to name
a northern man would be stroke OF
policy, and to some who tried to cry him
down he said: you can't talk me
down."
Maclay, of Los Angeles named j. II.
Maddox, of San Luis Obispo. He was
frequently interrupted, aud when he
said, "Will you give us our
mani" the house rang with
cries of No! Mol a score of times
repeated. The venerable Senator ap
pealed to a verse of poetry he had
learned, but in the hootipg the effusion
was lost.
Col. Dickinson named J. r. Finlay son,
ST., Of San francisco. He thought thai
city had not got any more than heI
share.
Shortridee named Simonson. 1t was evi
dent that Orr had it and all the
others withdrew in a stampede. Orr
got away with the pot by reclamation
in hopes ofappeasing the north by q
stroke of policy.
The convention passed vote OF thanks
to General Barnes for the able and I'M.
partial manner in which he had presided
A vote was also awarded to Mr.. II. u
Osborne and his staff for the able and
courteous manner in which the duties ol
the seoretaryship had been discharged.
This was a well merited compliment
and not done for empty show
Mr.. Osborne's reading of the roll call
was done with great distinctness and
precision. His chief clerk, Mr. Atkinson,
is minute clerk of the Assembly and rs
quick as chained lightning. Mr.. o.
borne and his staff were the very soul OF
courtesy, and the press is deeply in
debted to them all for their kindness in
the providing of onerous duties laid on
them.
