SAN JOSE, August 21st.-Pond is the
man. The combination mentioned in my
dispatch at midnight was evidently car
ried out, for Pond was nominated on the
second ballot, and by the Buckley votes
that were for Coleman yesterday. Ponds
following from all over the State was 80
large, however, that his nomination seems
to give great satisfaction to the majority of
the Democrats who are not members of
the Convention.
The Coleman and English men say they
will support the ticket. but the battle has
left scars that will not heal in day.
There was an almost universal sentiment
that English ought to have denomination,
on account of his services to the party, but
the very men who proclaimed that senti-
ment voted for the sake of policy. They
said they must have strong man to beat
Markham, and that Pond was the only
man who could carry San Francisco
against him.
Coleman's friends are sore. They feel
that they were treacherously treated in some
quarters. Whether they will enter the
campaign with much enthusiasm for Pond
remains to be seen. If the election were
held tomorrow he would not get many of
their votes.
NOISE AND CONFUSION.
The forenoon session of the Convention
to-day was one of the most remarkable in
the history of the State. For noise and
confusion it was never surpassed and sell
dom equaled.
The glaring incompetency of the Secre-
taries made the matter worse, and half of
the time it was impossible for any one
to tell what was going on. A mob of
frantic politicians were permitted to crowd
upon the stage which had been set apart
for the use of the reporters, and effectually
prevented them from doing their work as it
ought to be done.
The scene during the roll-calls and at the
announcement of the votes was as wild
and tumultous as the Imagination can pic
ture. There were about 1900 people in the
building, which crowded it to. its utmost
The galleries were filled with
ladies, and they joined the men in making
as much noise as possible.
During the first roll-call there seemed to
be about as many friends of one candidate
as another among the audience, judging
from the applause and cheers, but when on
the second ballot the tide turned in favor
of Pond the crowd went with it, and they
YELLED FOR POND
AS loudly as they had done before for Eng
lish and Coleman. When the nomination
of Pond was announced, and the motion of
Del Vale that it be made unanimous was
carried, the enthusiasm knew no bounds.
The ladies in the galleries waved their
and beat their fans to pieces
upon the railing.
The members mounted chairs and yelled
themselves hoarse, while cheer after cheer
went up for the victor. He was rushed
upon the stage by body of his friends and
endeavored to speak, but it was some time
before his voice could be heard at all.
Behind him stood w. D. English, one of
the defeated candidates, waving his hand
kerchief over the victor's head Finally
the noise subsidized sufficiently to allow
Pond to briefly express his thanks to the
and promise vigorous cam
paign. When through, the crowd yelled
for English.
Mr.. English made a brief and serious
speech in which he pledged himself to
work vigorously for the standard bearer.
He took occasion, also, to denounce the
Examiner for its unfair treatment of him.
He had been friend of the journal all his
life.
Paulsell was then called out, thanked
his friends for their support, and pre-
dicted Democratic victory in November.
There were loud calls for Coleman, but
that gentleman did not put in an appear
ance. A delegate announced, however.
that he was authorized to state that Mr.,
Coleman would be found working vigor-
ously for the ticket during the campaign.
RECESS TAKEN.
After this remarkably vigorous and in
teresting contest the Convention took a
recess till o'clock, to give the delegates a
chance to congratulate the victor and taste
his hospitality at the Auzerais House,
where he was escorted by band of music
COLEMAN GREETED WITH APPLAUSE.
AS soon as the Convention reconvened,
James V. Coleman appeared upon the plat
form and was greeted with storm of ap-
plause He said his Democracy was above
his candidacy, and ne always would be
that way. Any man that sulked in his tent
during this campaign was not Democrat.
His coat would be taken off and would be
off until the announcement of the Demo-
cratic victory in November.
Coleman's speech created another burst
of enthusiasm, and he was cheered for fully
five minutes.
1t was noticeable that when English de-
the Examiner he was applauded
by almost all the delegates and. the entire
crowd. There seems to be very bitter
feeling in the Democratic ranks against
that journal. 1t is said that the prompt
of
JOHN P. IRISH FOR CONGRESS
From the Third District was largely due 10
this feeling of resentment and antagonism
to the Examiner. At all events his nomi-
nation has created great enthusiasm among
the Democrats, even with those who do
not reside in his district. and many dele
gate said he wished he lived in the Third
District in order that he might help Irish
in his fight.
Now that the fight for Governor is over,
interest in the proceedings of the Conven-
ton will be mainly confined to politicians
and friends of those seeking places on the
ticket If it were not for the incompetency
of the Secretaries the work of the Conyen-
ton might easily be completed tonight.
but ii is likely to take all day tomorrow to
finish it up.
DEL VALE FOR LIEUTENAET-GovERN0R.
There was no opposition to the unani-
nous nomination of R. F. Del yslle when
his name was presented by Senator Jones
of Butte. but it gave Budd of San Joaquin
