harmony-justice-and he hoped JUS
tice would prevail. He believed that
an injustice had been done Major
Bonebrake by connecting him with
any faction, and that Justice might be
done him the delegates should vote
for him. Major Bonebrake had faced
the audience and had said he was not
the representative Of any faction, and
he believed him.
Ex-Governor Sheldon said he had
known Major Bonebrake for thirty
years, and had been in battle with
him. He knew he was not a man
representing any faction.
Mr.. Gephard said that while Major
Bonebrake might not represent any
faction, and he did not believe that he
did. yet there was likelihood that he
would be accused of representing
one, and it would not do to select a
delegate with q factional taint.
Gov. j. ]. Gosper said that he had
advised his friend, Colonel Boyce, to
withdraw for the good of the party
Colonel Boyce had considered the
good OF the party and withdrawn, and
he had strongly advised the other
side to induce Major Bonebrake to
withdraw. 1t was for the best in
terests of the party that both repre-
sentatives of factions withdraw from
the field, and that some one be Sc
lected who was not supported by any
side in particular, but by the whole
party.
Rev. W. E. Knighten thought there
ought to be peace in the camp. He
felt sorry to know there was so much
dis urbance in the party in the city,
but such being the case, in his opin-
ion the best man to select was Colonel
Banbury, from the country.
Judge Magee said that he felt as If
he must answer for the country dele
gates. They did not belong to any
faction and were not in any fight. All
that the delegation required was har-
mony.
Cries of "Roll-call" here prevailed,
and the Chairman ordered the secre-
taries to commence the work.
/ The Secretary then called the roll
and as a result announced:
Banbury ......... -........,.-......,....1 Ia
BoneDrake ....-................. lO5

Necessary to a choice. ......... .....124
The second ballot had nearly been
concluded when it was apparent that
Major Bonebrake had lost consider
ably, especially in the city. A move
was then made to flock toward the
banner of H. 7. Gage. One delega-
ticn from Pomona changed its
vote to Gage and then another
until there was perfect rush
in this direction. In few moments
the Convention appeared more as a
pandemonium than a Convention oi
staid Republicans, In the rear Wal
ter S. Moore, Carleton Kemp and
others swung their hats and the cry
was "make it unanimous"
The Chairman brought down his
gavei and said that it had been moved
and seconded that Henry I. Gage be
elected delegate at large by acclama-
ton. Carried vociferously. 1t was
rumofed in the lobby that faction
man had been elected after all, and
that the candidate selected really
took the place OF Col. Boyce.
| Henry T. Gage then thanked the
Convention for the honor conferred
upon him, and promised to do all in
} his power to represent the party as a
unit. AS for himself, he favored the
selection OF J. G.. Blaine as the candi
, date for President.
The next order of business was the
election of twenty-five delegates, fou,
from each Supervisoral district outside
Of the city, and ten delegates from the
city. On motion, the delegates from
