Delegates.

tiOn for Chairman-0ther
Notes.

The arrival of delegates to the Dem
ocratic State Convention from Anna
dor, Fresno, Stanislaus, Lassen, Santi
Barbara, San Bernardino and San Fran
cisco counties yesterday made mat
ters more lively in political circles
than they had been, even during the
three previous days. Then the an
nouncement of the declination o.
the Hon l.. J. Rose to run for Con,
gress from this District created quite
a stir for it had been generally sup
posed that he would receive the nom
ination with little or no opposition
and his withdrawal meant "a search
for another man equally as strong.
At first everybody was at
sea but before long names
of prominent individuals could be
heard on all sides as they were talked
over. Before the day was over
however, it was generally agreed SO
far as could be ascertained to drop all
names except those OF Mr.. r. B.
Terry, Hon. j. de Barth Short and
Hon. ]. Marion Brooks. Friends
of these gentlemen were busy
all day long in the interest
of their principals, but it was evident
before nightfall that Mr.. R. B. Terry,
of Fresno, was in the lead. Mr..
Terry arrived yesterday and registered
at the Westminster but this morning
he will be found at the st. Elmo,
where he will establish his head
quarters.
The Craftsmanship of the Conven-
tion occupied considerable atten-
tion. Hon. S. M. White, Hon.
r F. Del Valle and Judge
N. Greene Curtis being mentioned,
with the chances greatly in favor of
Hon. r F. Del Valle last night.
The secretaryship OF the Conven-
lion seems to be settled, all competi-
tors for the position except Mr..
George W. Kelley, having either
or having been forgotten.

County Committee, would be chosen
IS Assistant Secretary with NJ

Byron Waters, Hon. w. II. Work
nan, Hon. s. VI. White, W. F.
