The convention then adjourned till
10 a. m. tomorrow.
Caminetti's Opport unity.
G. G. Wright, of Modesto, who has
been regarded as strong candidate for
the congressional nomination in the Sec
ond district, announced tonight that he
had withdrawn from the contest. This
leaves the field clear for Senator A.
Caminetti, of Amador, the only candi-
date for the nomination.
Order of Business.
The committee on permanent organi-
zation and order of business held a
lengthy session tonight, and prepared a
report which will be submitted to the
convention in the morning. The COM
mittee will recommend that nominations
be taken up in the usual order. The
nomination for governor will come first,
and then lieutenant governor and chief
justice and associate justices of the
supreme court. 1t is also
understood that according to the recon-
mendations of the committee, the last
business in order will be the endorse
ment of some candidate for United
States senator. This is the clause which
is expected to result in a vigorous con-
test, According to the programme
which has already been arranged, as
soon as the report of the committee is
read, ex-congressman M. H. Rudd, of
Stockton, is to be recognized by the
chair for the purpose of moving to strike
out the clause relating to senator.
Skeleton of the Platform.
The committee on platform and reso-
lutions held session this evening, last
ing from O'Clock until long after / /.
A number of persons appeared before
the committee in the interests of certain
measures. The platform which the
committee adopted, and which will be
reported to the convention tomorrow,
denounces the Lodge election bill, the
Mckinley tariff bill, the national Repub-
lican administration and Speaker Reed.
Among the local issues touched upon is
the Australian ballot system, which re.
ceives the endorsementoft the committee.
The platform also favors heavy reduc-
ton in state taxes. The Chinese ques-
ton also occupied the attention of the
committee to great extent, but no
definite conclusion on the subject had
been reached up to late hour.
Ponds Strength Increasing.
SAN Francisco, August 19.-The
Examiners dispatches from San Jose
will say tomorrow: Pond is gaining
ground steadily: the other candidates
admit this, and seem to be combining
against him. 1t is rumored that Cole
man and English will throw their
strength to Paulsell, if necessary to beat
but simply say they don't like Pond.
1t is also rumored that White has Of
fered the southern votes to Paulsell if
he will silence Budd, who is making
fight against Whites endorsement for
senator. White denies this, however.
Pond VIII Be Nominated.
The Chronicles San Jose special says
The Pond boom is still on tonight, and
unless some combination can be formed
between English and Coleman men
DelOTe Lne COlNenJlOu ueebS TO-
morrow, Pond will be at the head
of the ticket. The grangers keep
this swearing by the San Francisco man,
and have so alarmed the metropolitan
delegation, that they are afraid bolt
to the mayor may take place so quickly
as to leave them out in the cold. The
prospects are that if Coleman
cannot lead Pond on the first
ballot, the mayor will be nominated
with rush, for Buckley's forces do not
conceal the fact that they intend to
throw their entire strength to the lead
ing candidate, and they think Pond will
prove to be the man. English's follow
ers are certainly loyal and they try to
stay the tide that is setting against
their candidate. Coleman's managers
show good heart, but though they pro-
fess to have the lead in the county vote,
the Pond boom still keeps on, and his
Iieutenants claim 249 votes outside of
San Francisco, tonight. This, if true,
of course will nominate him on the
first ballot, for if he shows that
strength, the city delegates
will flock to his support before the vote
is announced. A successful combination
between English and Coleman now
seems undoubtful, as Englis can not
swing his following and the Coleman
men do not admit that they are beaten.
