The Convention hail was so densely
packed that it bad to be cleared by the po-
lice of all outsiders in order to permit del
egates to get to their seats. There were
10000 applicants for permission to be pres
ent, while the hall holds but 800, all told.
There was q rough time all around in get
ting tickets of admission.

the State Central Committee, called the
Convention to order, and called for NOM
nations for temporary Chairman.

in nomination \. Greene Curtis, of Sacra-
mento. He made fervid and eloquent
plea for his candidate, eulogizing him
highly and asking the delegates, in the in

that unity so essential to success, TO unan-
imously elect Mr.. Curtis. Round after
round of applause greeted the remarks of
Mr.. Taylor.

ton or any candidate.
Barclay Henley, of Sonoma. made a bit
ter speech, declaring that the railroad COM
pany's hand was manifest in the Conyen-
ton. He had no personal objection to
Mr.. Curtis. but the opposition 10 Mr..
White, he charged, came from the railroad
corporations. He rang the changes on the
anti-monopoly ghost.
Judge D. S. Terry, of San Joaquin, had
nothing to say against Mr.. White, but
there should be chosen a man who had
taken no part in the euarrels of the fac
tons Of the party Such man was Judge
Curtis, and the great majority Of the Dem
ocrats of San Joaquin were for his nomi-
nation to the Craftsmanship.
Loud calls fer the question were made,

GEORGE HEARST, late Senator, tele-
graphs from the South that his name must
not be used before the Democratic Con
vention in connection with the nomina-
ton for Governor-in short, that he is

Mr.. Hearst is wiser than we had given
him credit for being. He has caught the
scent of a lost battle for the Democracy.

Before the vote was announced. Judge
Curtis took the floor, and said that he was
Democrat Of thirty years standing He
wanted to see the party triumph, and would
do nothing to impede its progress to sue
cess. He had not been a candidate for
Chairman, and had only permitted his
name to be used at the last moment to
quiet the strong urging of his friends, and
in the interest of harmony. He referred
poinetdly to Henley's speech charging him
with being the tool of monopolies, and
denied, with feryor and unmisakabe
emphasis, that he was, or ever had been
amenable to such charge. He regretted
that Henley had done so great an injustice
as TO make such an imputation as he did
He (Curtis) wished for harmony in the
party and its success, and he therefore
moved that Mr.. Whites election be made
unanimous. Prolonged cheering.] The
motion enthusiastically prevailed.

TIE CONTESTED SEATS.

During the gathering of the Convention,
the Sacramento delegation elected by the
Convention, scattered broadcast in the hall.
and put into every hand printed state
ment of its case. 1t recited all the facts of
the violation of instructions by the Sacra-
mento Central Committee, the call for the
primaries, the County Convention, and the
selection of delegates according to the or
ders of the State Convention and the pre-
vious County Convention. They appealed
to the members, warmly, to know if they
were to be rejected for following the law of
the party and refusing to take part. in
usurpation, and in wrestling from the peo-
pie of the Democracy the right to choose
Representatives. The appointed delegation
responded with circular stating their case
and declaring the Convention called by the
minority of the Central Committee to have
been unrepresentative and assembled with
out proper notice, and under primaries
hastily called and not attended by the mass
OF the party in the county.

On being introduced to the Convention
Mr.. White made a brief speech. in which
he took occasion to compliment Judge
Curtis warmly. He spoke of him as a man
who had never been charged with being a
mOnopolist. He was a sound Democrat
and citizen, worthy of all honor. As for
himself, he would do his best to act with
impartiality. He should insist upon order
being preserved, and if rude persons inter
rupted the proceedings he should insist
upon their election.

and ex-senator Hearst, only served to draw
the lines sharper between Bartlett, Reddy
Bryant, Berry and Tarpey, one Of whom
will probably be selected to lead the ticket.
The letters Of doclination referred to are as
follows

candidates for Governor before the Democratic

quenee of increasing years, neglected private
interests and impaired health l cannot allow
my name to be presented for nomination.

my ability, must be permitted to spend my re:

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON PERMANENT
ORGANIZATION.

The Committee on Permanent Organiza-
ton and Order Of Business will report the
continuation of the present officers as per-
manent ones. There is much talk that
there will be ightin favor of substituting
Curtis for Chairman, but as he does not
wish the position, and would oppose such
an effort, it will probably not be attempted,
although nearly every one admits that an
other ballot for Chairman would have
elected Curtis by an overwhelming ma
iority.

SAYS the St. Louis Globe-Democrdt ::
Gas a general rule, the Republicans
throughout the country are renominating
those members of Congress who have
proved faithful to the principles of the
party and efficient in the discharge ftheir
duties, which is sensible and profitable
thing to do. The interests of the people
and the party can in no way be better sub
served than by keeping men in Congress
who have had experience and who are
known to be capable and worthy" One of
the notable evidences of public sentiment
is just such expression as this. 1t is hind
rance always to be new member. 1t
really takes Congressman two years to
get on his feet and command even the
passing attention of the House. A State
eonserves its own best interest when, hav-
ing capable and satisfactory representa-
tive, it retains him.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS
ON TIE SACRAMENTO DELEGATION.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 1st-A. NJ
AT an early hour this morning Convention
matters are in state of decided activity
and equal uncertainty. There is much
heated blood, but it may cool down before
the meeting of the Convention this fore
noon. The Committee on Credentials, after
long ana somewhat acrimonious session,
rejuvenated the old Electoral Commission
verdict at late hour tonight, standing
eight for the appointed delegation from
Sacramento and seven for those elected BY
the County Convention. Two reports will
be made accordingly, signed respectively by
eight and seven of the committee. This
insures sharply contested battle
on the floor of the Convention.
This subject is generally discussed even at
an early hour this morning. A large por-
ton of the delegates claim that the Con-
vention cannot and will not so stultify IL
self as TO condemn and reject those who
proved true to the party law, while others
say it is too much to expect of the
Convention to act upon principle,
and, TO an outside observer, this saw
ors of prophetic wisdom. Some favor
seating both delegations, with half
votes for each member, but this, it is re-
piled, would be a confession that the mi
nority of the Central Committee was right.
and conformation of a crime of the ma
jority by the State Convention. It is
pretty kettle of fish, that promises at best
to cause considerable disaffection, and a.
split in The Democratic vote.

GOVERNOR SToNEMAN publishes brief
letter declining to be a candidate for re-
election. lie says his private affairs de
mand his attention, that he is advanced in
years, and his health is impaired, and that
he has been honored by his country suf-
ficiently. We believe Governor Stone
mans administration has been one of
many mistakes, and we have not hesitated
to say so but that, personally, he viii not
be greatly missed at the Capitol would be
untrue to say. His genial social qualities,
kindness Of heart, transformations bearing,
and the frank, manly way in which he has
met the people as one of them, without
any vanity because of his high Office, us
won him here hosts of personal friends,
and some of the foremost of these are Re-
publicans. He retires from political life
now, we feel convinced, entertaining the
conviction that he would have been hap
pier and more useful to himself and his,
had he not entered an arena that has had
in it so little of reward for him.
