Patton seconding that of Frank Howard

Patton seconding that of Frank Howard
with equal zest.
The nominations were then closed and
| the two candidates met on the platform
and shook hands, amid ringing cheers
from their respective admirers.
Frank III. Howard said he came before
the convention as a Democrat, and did
not think it was necessary to say any
thing as to his Democracy. He would
only say that be his client public or
private one, he would do his level best
to do his duty.
bones that if nominated he would
be elected. II elected he would
stand between the poor man
and the great corporations. and
would defend his property against en-
croachment and confiscation. He prom
ised to resign, if during his term OF
office it was found necessary to employ
outside counsel to aid him in his duty.
A ballot was then taken and resulted
as follows: j. Marion Brooks, los;
Frank II. Howard, 80; total, 1856. Nee
essary for choice 93.
Mr.. Brooks was then declared the
unanimous nominee of the convention
by acclamation.
Mr. Brooks was called for and said
that he recognized the fact that although
he was nominated, he could not be
elected unless the delegates assisted
him, and he expected that not only they
but their wives and daughters, would
work for J. Marion Brooks, the next city
attorney.
There was slight delay when the
next order of business was announced,
| that of placing in nomination candidates
for the Office OF street superintendent.
Judge Winder, however, took the
floor, and, in nominating Matt Carr,
referred to the Importance ofthe position
he sought. Having served in the office
under General Baldwin's regime, he was
eminently fitted to fill it with credit to
himself and satisfaction to his party.
I. f. Gibbon nominated Andy Nc
Nally, whom he characterized as a
'brick," who had probably done more
to build up the city than anyone else in
the city. This nomination WAS received
of the hall. 1t was seconded by f. j.
Captain and N. G. Bledsoe, Judge
Dupuy performing like service for
Matt Carr.
The candidates were then called upon
for speeches and fees. Andy Men ally said
that if he was nominated he was sure of
election, no matter what the size or cal
iber of his opponent. He had always
done his duty by the men with whom
he had business dealings, and he would
continue to do so with the taxpayers,
rich and poor alike. If elected, his sub
ordinates should be men of the best ca
pabilities and respectable Democrats.
Matt Carr said that it seemed that he
wasn't in it. He would, however, if
elected, wear the same sized hat he now
wore, and if he was not nominated he
would work just as hard for the ticket.
A ballot was then proceeded with, but
when the thirty-fifth precinct was
reached Matt Carr, who had only re-
ceived about thirty votes, retired from
the field, and McNally's nomination
was made unanimous by accamation.
Andy McNally was again called upon
for speech, and he said briefly that he
thanked his friends from the bottom of
his heart for what they had done. He
did not intend to waste any time now,
but he would make his opponent wear
out pair OF shoes in keeping track of
him between now and election day.
Hon. M. &c. Munday then nominated
for the important Office of city engineer
''that elegant young gentleman of learn
ing in all its branches" Mr.. j. H. Dock
weller, and in few words placed his
name for favorable consideration before
the convention. Fred Harkness sec
onded the nomination, and moved that
it be declared unanimous by acclama-
| tion.
r. B. Powell nominated w. T. Lambie,
however, but there was no second, and
with the exception OF a few dissenting
voices, the motion carried.
j. H. Dockweiler on being called to
the platform, said it was useless for him
to make a speech. He was known to
the major portion of the delegates, and
if elected the party would never regret
the trust and confidence reposed in him.
For the office of tax and license col
lector, L. @. Bower nominated w. F.
Heathman in brief eulogistic speech,
and on motion of w. p. Hyatt, he was
declared the unanimous nominee of the
convention by acclamatlon.
w. f. Heathman was called for, and
said that until five minutes before his
name was placed before the convention,
he had no idea of running for office. No
man was, however, more willing to step
forth and do his duty for the party than
he, and if elected, he would assure the
public OF the safety OF its money.
The next order of business was that of
nominating five candidates for the
board OF library trustees.
Colonel J. j. Ayers, in presenting the
name of f. H. Owens to the convention,
said that it afforded him great pleasure
to do so. Mr.. Owens had lived here a
number of years, and he had known him
elsewhere for many years. He was one
of the most respected citizens of Los An
geles, well informed gentleman, and of
literary turn Of mind.
w. r. Haizlip was nominated by q
delegate from the First ward, but subse-
quently withdrew.
r. r. Dominguez nominated Fl. Jay
Hanchette, who was seconded by R. G.
Carlton.
W. Meade nominated j. B. Dunlap,
who was seconded by N. G. Bledsoe.
Judge AWinder placed in nomination
the name of Col. J. J. Ayers, who was
seconded by C. w. Allender.
A motion to the effect that nominations
be closed was made by A. G. Clarke, but
was voted down.
A. Orfla nominated J. G. McInerney.
d. M. Scott was nominated by M. w.
Conkling, but subsequently withdrew
his name.
