Epeelal Dispatches to The MORNING CALL
SAN JOSE, Aug. 2O.-Jim Budd has been
coldIy, cruelty and numerically squelched,
and the pride of san Joaquin is leveled in
the dust The man who was hunting no
later than yesterday with a knife for the
scalp of Stephen NJ White has been rudely
snubbed-hissed, in fact, aud metaphori-
cally spat upon-and all that harmony
might prevail As tits the friends of White
are smilingly triumphant and his opponents
are grinding their teeth in impotent rage.
The great row that was expected to take
place over the proposed Endorsement of a
candidate for the United States Senate
happily for the Democracy has been
ayerted, and white-winged peace spreads
her snowy pinions once more over the
Buckley hosts. All agree that Mr.. White,
in Withdrawing from the fight as he did,
effected a victory and left his opponents
without weapon to use against him.
A MAsTERLY SPEECH.
His speech, toe, was mastery effort and
in many of its passages was eloquent far
beyond the average convention speech. lie
was repeatedly and vociferously cheered,
especially in his references TO the dishonest
course of the Examiner and it was clear
that the convention was il sympathy with
him throughout
While this scene was going on in the con-
veution. Congressman Clunie sat telling a
chosen coterie of friends in an adjoining
room that he would give his right arm to be
United States Senator, and from the express
sion of his face it was easy TO see that he
was not pleased with the magnificent recep-
tion accorded to Mr.. White.
PROCEEDING SLOWLY.
The convention made slow progress this
morning, and at their present rate of pro-
cecding it viii be two full days more before
they will be ready to adjourn. The fault
lies largely with Chairman Waters, who is
hardly fitted for the place, and who has no
control over the body. He seems TO have
but li:te decision Of character, and allows
delegates to uselessly occupy the time of
the convention. Moreover, his voice is de-
eldedly weak, and it is with difficulty that
he is heard ia remote parts Of the hall.
AS yesterday, the delegations were slow
this morning in getting into their seats,
and it was 20 o'clock before the Chair
mans gavel fell for order. The galleries
were packed and everyone was on The tip
toe of expectation for the anticipated circus
when the report of the Committee on Order
of Business and Permanent Organization
should be read.
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.
On asking for order the Chairman imme-
diately called for the report Of the Commit
tee on Credentials, which was read and DIS
posed Of with but little delay. This being
disposed of, Max Pepper, Chairman Of the
Committee on Permanent Organization and
Order of Business, took the stand and pro
ceeded to announce that ii had been decided
TO III axe the temporary officers permanent
and to provide for number OF assistant
Secretaries.
ORDER OF BUSINESS.
He then read the following order Of bust
ness:

tials.

When he came to the sixteenth sec
tion. providing for the Endorsement of
candidate for the United States Senate,
there was loud and prolonged cheering.
A MINORITY REPORT.
When the applause had in some measure
subsidized, Ashe OF San Francisco advanced
to the platform and presented minority
report, recommending that the report of the
majority be adopted with the exception Of
that portion relating to the Endorsement.
More cheers followed this, aud thousand
necks were anXlOuSly eTaned to see what
the next move would be.
There was an instant Of hesitation, and
Jim Budd Of San Joaquin sprang to his
feet with " Mr.. Chairman that rang out
like the crack Uf rifle. His manner and
the torres of his voice plainly showed that
he was out for blood, and he tossed his
tawny curls defiantly in the air He was
too late, however. for by a precouceiYed
arrangement MI White was quietly recOg-
niZed, and stepping quietly onto the plat
form smilingly acknowledged the storm Of
cheers that swept through the huge hall
and set the banners waving in the air.
BUDD RUDELY CRUSHED.
Cheer after cheer went up, and when he
said, "Mr. Chairman, L rise to move the
adoption of the minority report, perfect
stantly 600 delegates were on their Ieet
waving their hats ard arms and frantleally
bowling themselves hoarse.
WHITES SPEECH.
1t is no doubt surprise to many of you
that should make this motion to adopt the
report of the minority, and have to thank
my friends in this convention who have so
firmly stood by me, and who are now ready
to sustain the Endorsement of my candi-
dacy for the United States Senatorship as
contained in the majority report of the
committee
81 have the sincerest feelings of gratitude
for these gentlemen, and am proud of their
support; but, recognizing that this great
convention is assembled for the general
good of the public, and that 1t is gravely
charged with the responsibility Tor the wei
fare Of the Democratic party and the pe0-
pie at large, despite the assertion OF my
enemies and malice Of those whose business
seems to be that of common SANDER, have
resolved this day to sacrifice my highest
aspirations in the interest oil harmony and
for he good of the party.
AN EXAMINER ISLANDER.

aware, in many ways during the cGntinu-
ance OF my candidacy Only this morning l

FIRE the temple of Democratic unity. l need
mo-. say to those who know me how false
charge this is would not for any cause act
in way that would lose to the Democratic

there are some who threaten the party be-
