STORMY SCENES.
THE DEMOCRATIC COUNTY coNvEN
TON NOT HARMONIOUS.
Disgruntled Delegates Leave the Hall
Elk Groves Bugaboo-No County
officers Nominated.

There was smell of powder in the air
that pervaded Turner Hall yesterday, as
the delegates to the County Democratic
Convention began to pour in.
Nobody seemed to know just what the
trouble was going to be about, but still
there was general feeling that there was
going to be some fun before the adjourn
ment hour arrived.
Before the time for calling the Conven-
ton to order was at hand, number OF
Democratic politicians were to be seen
darling around among the fast-arriving
delegates, and exhibiting TO them copy
of the published call for the Convention.
"See?" they would say to the button holed
delegate, this call, according to the word
ing of it, is only for the purpose of elect
ing delegates to the State Convention and
a new County Central Committee-there'
nothing said about nominations for county
officers. We must have another call.
~sVhen the button holers had done with all
the delegates, there YVES large majority in
favor of postponing the county nomln8-
tions to some future date, for various
reasons"
THE BALL OPENS.
NJ. J. Burke. Chairman of the County
Central Committee, called the Convention
to order and as soon as order was obtained
appointed B. l.. Morrison and II. R. Alb
botl Sergeants at Arms. Mr. Burke then
stated that the first business in order was to
select temporary Chairman.
Add c. Hinkson promptly placed in
nomination r. 0. Cravens.
There were no other nominations and
Mr.. Cravens was unanimously elected.
Mr.. Cravens. upon taking the chair, said
it was always pleasure to him to meet his
old Democratic friends, but this time con-
siderlng the bright prospects of the party,
it afforded him greater pleasure than ever
to be with them, particularly as the Chair
man of the County Convention. After re-
ferring to the irresistible strength of the
men who were liable to be placed on the
Democratic State ticket, and denouncing
the tyrrany of Speaker Reed, he an
nounced that nominations for Secretaries
were in order.
H. c. Ross, Jr., and p NJ. Rooney were
the only nominees, and, on motion, both
were elected by reclamation.
Robert Barnett proposed that the Chair
in order to facilitate matters, proceed al

dentials committee of five on permanent
organization, and committee of five on
platform and resolutions.
The proposition was agreeable to the
delegates assembled, and the Chairman,
after due deliberation, appointed the COM
mittees as follows:
redentials-Robert Barnett, r. H Sim
gleton, Joseph Hahn, P. Robinson and J.
E. Owens.
Permanent Organization-Add. c. Hink-
son, ]. w. Orth, j. w. Hughes George A.
White and John Miller.
Platform and Resolutions-Fictor Hart
ley. W. S. Manlove, Andrew Black, l. NJ.
Smith and T. w. O'Neill.
On motion, a recess of thirty minutes
was then ordered, SO that the committees
might consult and draw up their reports
BUGABoo FROM ELK GROVE.
The committees retired and the delegates
scattered about the neighborhood to amuse
themselves as best they could. The Plat
form and Organization Committees soon
completed their labors, but the Committee
on Credentials struck large-sized snag
and strung out the recess for over two
hours. 1t appeared that two delegations
had reported from Elk Grove, OF rather
one from old Elk Grove aud one from new
Elk Grove. Only one polling-plsce had
been provided for by the Central Commit
tee, and that was at plain, ordinary Elk
Grove-no new or old about it.
The Elk Grove Democrats established
the voting place at new, Elk Grove,
and there were two tickets in the
field. one being in favor of d certain
candidate and the other being opposed
to him. Before many votes were cast
the regulars found that their ticket was
being beaten, so they deserted New Elk
Grove, and going to Old Elk Grove estab-
lished new polling place, and elected
their six delegates by the eight votes polled
there. Meantime the balioting continued
at New Elk Grove, the regularly appointed
judges and inspectors remaining there.
Thirty votes were polled there and the
opposition ticket elected.
Consequently when the two delegations
reported to the Committee on Credentials
the whole matter had to be investigated,
and il took some little time.
1t was just clock when the Chairman
raped the Convention 10 order and an
nounced that the committees were ready
to report.

R. II. Singleton stepped up the platform
and handed the Chairman the following
report from the Committee on Credentials:
