These names met with the approval oil
the Convention and it indorsed them.
There being no Fourth Ward delegates
in the Convention at this time, no COM
mitteemen were selected to represent it.
This was owing to the rape of the ballot.
box and the smashing Of it before the
votes were counted on Tuesday last,
when the Primaries were held.
SOME RESOLUTIONS.
Judge Carpenter handed up the follow
ing resolution, which under the rules OF
the Convention was referred to the Com
mittee on Platform and Resolutions with
out debate:
Resolced, That the County Treasurer
should deposit the public funds in the
various responsible banks of the city and
county, reference being had to the
amount of their capital stock and busi-
ness; and in the event the nominee O
this Convention for that office being
elected he will regard this as an irrevo-
cable instruction so to do.
The resolution was heartily endorsed
by the Convention cheering it to the
echo.
W. f. Pendleton then offered the fol-
lowing:
Resolyed, That no person holding a
proxy be entitled to vote in this Conven-
ton, except the holder of same be a re-
sident and voter in the ward or precinct
from which said proxy is given. Re-
ferred.
B. w. Lee offered a resolution that no
delegate be permitted to change his vote
until the result of the ballot has been
announced. Referred.
Some one moved to adjourn until two
P. NJ, but the chair very properly called
attention to the fact that no Sergeant. at
Arms had been selected.
Thereupon R. O. G. Benjamin (colored)
moved that johnson Johns be appointed
to that exigent and responsible office.
The chair was about to put the question
when some one-presumably with visions
of Oro Finos tustling ballot-box out of
windows, and the further reflection that
these doughty champions OF a free vote
and a fair count, might undertake to
do the same office for recall
citrant delegates-cried aloud to
be permitted to- size-up the
Sergeant.at-Arms that he might know if
he could hold the party of "All Decency"
well in hand in case of ! row. Hereupon
the candidate for belligerant honors
arose in the form of powerful son of
"Afrie's golden sands" He appeared
quite lusty enough for the purpose in
view and was accordingly elected.
Judge Davis of Downey City wanted
the chairmen of the several committees
to announce where and when these
bodies would meet. Judge Haynes, who
looks very much as if he ought to belong
to the Cold Water party, created no little
amusement by stating that the Com
mittee on Platform and Resolutions
would meet at once Gin the little
room to the rear of the hail."
AS this ia the bar, it was surmised that
"free whisky" was to be the divine afIla-
tus from whose influence the doctrines of
the &. 9. p. were to be evolved. So ex-
hilarating was this suggestion, that on
motion of Geo. Rice, three cheers were
attempted in honor of Harrison and Nor
ton. 1t was funny enough to hear these
good citizens of the Pacific coast, whose
voices all dwellers hereabouts have so
often heard raised to the point of break
ing, as they cried with apparent honesty,
"The Chinese must gol" and now here
they were cheering for Harrison, who
said "The Chinese must stay!' And
sincerity cheered Morton! Yet in few
hours they were bowling themselves
hoarse when the Democratic party was
to silver. But Morton voted against the
Dlduu Dll ~ WIS lul0uutu 10 uaV6
cheered the platform as we'll as the ticket,
and a resolution to that effect had been
passed, but the cheer for the pro-
Chinese and anti-silver ticket seemed to
exhaust jhe crowd and they could not
shout for the platform whose strabismus
goes in the other direction. The Con-
vention djourned until ppm.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
At2:10 P. NJ. Judge Fitzgerald called
the meeting to order. And by the
way, the Judge is model pre-
siding officer. He is prompt, decisive
and accurate. Evidently he is no novice
in welding the gavel. The assembly
being quiet, the Chairman announced
that there were some fifteen or twenty
precincts which had not yet sent in any
list of delegates. This was delaying the
work of the committee, and until it had
reported the business OF the Convention
could not 60 on.
G. D. Ambrose, of Pomona. proposed
that pending the reports of the commit
tees speeches should be made,
and he called for Ralph E.
Hoyt to enlighten the assembly.
The two hundred and sixty men in front
of the platform, the big crowd in the
gallery and those who crowded the
whole floor of the hall looked like q
