hmtnary Work About Over, and the
Delegates Ready for Business,

delegates Ready Tor Business.
The convention is exceedingly slow
In getting to work, and it really looks
as IT the charge made that the delay
is in interest of "the field" as against
the local and more popular candidates
for Sheriff, District Attorney, Record
or, and Assessor, had some foundation,
The reason alleged for the repeated
delays, is the neglect of the temporary
chairman, yesterday to call for the Gre
dentials of the delegates elect, as with
out the credentials the Committee on
Credentials could do little, if anything.
1t did not get to work at all, and at IL
o'clock this morning the Convention
was called to order for the purpose of
notifying the delegates to hand in
their credentials.
The convention then took a recess
for half an hour.
