A delegate from one OF the San Fran
cisco clubs said that Carl Browne, the
artist, had been present during the session.
and drawn excellent portraits of the Chair
man of the Convention, c. f. McGlashan,
"The Hero of Truckee," and other sketches
that would appear in the next issue of his
paper, the Open Letter. He moved that the
Executive Committee be authorized to pur-
chase 5000 copies of the issue, to be sent to
the delegates of the Convention for general
distribution. The motion was seconded.
John P. Dunn, the State Controller, and F.
j. Clark, his deputy, assailed the motion,
and moved to lay it upon the table. After
short and spirited debate the motion was
tabled by a bare majority of one vote.
Another motion to RalIow Carl Browne
per diem of five dollars, the same as that
allowed clerks and Sergeants-at-Arms, was
assailed by the same parties and shared
similar fate. Browne says that his car
| toons of the State Controller that have ap-
peared from time to time is the cause of the
strenuous opposition made to those propo-
sitions by the Controller and his deputy.
Denis Kearney moved the adoption of
the memorial TO Congress, which was read
by John f. Swift ON Thursday, and which
appeared in full in Fridays REooRD-USIoN.
The motion was unanimously adopted.
~. D
Dahms, of Alameda. who originated the
idea of adjourning the San Jose Conyen-
ton to Sacramento and which resulted in
the merging of the two Conventions. the
harmonizing of all factions. Before putting
the vote the Chair announced that he took
no exceptions TO the remarks made by Mr..
Dahms on the preceding evening. If the
Convention had listened to the remarks of
the gentleman as the Chair did. they would
have observed that he prefaced them with
an explanation that would not bear the in
depreciation afterwards placed upon them
by the Convention, and which resulted in
the scene that followed. He complimented
Mr.. Dahms for his manliness. and assured
the Convention that any feelings that had
been engendered were far from the intent
of Mr.. Dahms, and was in no wise war
ranted by the language that the gentleman
used.
Mr.. Dahm took the floor, made
personal explanation, eulogized the
Chairman, and in an eloquent manner
complimented the Convention for the great
work it had accomplished. His remarks
were frequently interrupted with applause,
and at their close were loudly cheered.
STATE ORGANIZER.
For State Organizer, Lewis Jacobs of San
Francisco, placed in nomination the Rev.
n. +. Ravlin, of San Jose. In doing so he
paid high compliment to that gentleman.
He said that the reverend gentleman would
preach the doctrine of anti-Chinese to all
the people. He could and would reach and
convert to the cause the church and tenn
perance people who had been standing
aloof, apparently afraid to take issue
against the Chinese. He could swell the
ranks aid popularize the movement with
the whole people. He comes not as a law
yer looking for his fee, but, on the con-
trary. he is acting solely in the great cause
of humanity. Elect him, and you have
man whose whole heart is in the work.
The nomination received several seconds.
T. II. Carr, of Truckee placed in nomi-
nation for the position Hon. J. A. Filcher,
of Auburn. He regarded Mr. Filcher the
gentleman of all others -eminently
suited to fill that position. This nomina-
ton was seconded by Hon. p. Reddy, of
Mono, in short and eloquent address.
Mr. Filcher stated that his business rela-
tions were OF such a character that it would
be impossible 10 accept, and thanking the
gentlemen who had placed him in nomi-
nation, declined the honor

N f. Ravlin was nominated by acclama-
ton.
Mr. Ravlin was called for and briefly ad-
dressed the Convention, returning thanks
for the honor conferred. He said the cause
of the laboring classes was his cause From
conscientious convictions he had left his
pulpit, his home and his family to labor
in the cause of the masses. He pictured
what this country may become under the
regime of the white man, and what it
surely will be under the regime of the
Mongoi. He would labor in the cause with
all his energy, and would not consider his
work accomplished until the time arrives
when labor and capital will shake hands
together
