! Early Day
| San JOSE August 20th.-There is more excite
ment tonight than at any time duriog the Con.
yention. The two ballots had to-day gave the
workers the actual standing of all the delega-
| tions and they now have something definite to
work upon. The leaders are hurrying to and
fro. working like beavers for their iavorites and
each one claiming that his man will win on the
! first ballot tomorrow.
| The fact is that at this time all is guess work.
| There may be trades made tonight that
| will make it q sure thing for some one OF the
candidates. but the general impression is that
Buckley holds the balance of power now,
and has not yet made satisfactory ar
rangements with any of the candidates.
There are those who argue that Buckley will
throw his San Francisco vote to Pond, because
| he thinks Pond will poll heavier vote in San
| Francisco than any other man. and thus help
the election of the city and county tieket,which
| is all he cares about.
On the other hand, the friends of 10th Eng
lish and Coleman claim that the San Francisco
delegation will fall to pieces and each expect
enough from it to nominate. The probability
is that the nomination will be made on the
first ballot tomorrow morning. If not, Paul
sell will stand good chance for the prize.

ination, was one of the finest speeches delivered
IN the Convention. He attempted no flights of
oratory, but his remarks were to the point. full
of sound reasoning.

James V. Coleman, said that he was tired of
policy and of nominating to catch votes, which
remark was received with cheers.
Dennis Spencer made the first oratorical dis
play of the day. During his remarks he mep-
toned ex-Presdent Cleveland, and the named
was greeted with applause. T.J. Clunie has be-
come great favorite in Sau Jose, and his
speech to-day for English was warmly ap
plauded.
The speech of P. F. Del yalle. seconding the
nomination of English. was gem, and was
enthusiastically received.
James D. Murphy, of Santa Clara, designated
Coleman as "1he Napoleon of California De-
mocracy.'

"The Moses Of Democracy, to lead them into
the glorious laad of political victory
R. B. Terry, of Fresno, in seconding the nomi-
nation of Coleman. said that his good old grand
mother told him when a boy that a man had 8
right in this country to aspire to any position
without regard to his religion, creed or race.
The band in the employ of the citizens COM
mittee made the regular round tonight, sere-
nading each of the candidates.
The Secretaries of the Convention are dead
failures, and the delay in the roll-calls is some
thing fearful.
The way things are proceeding now, it looks
as if the Convention would last all the week.

Stephens.
