The Evening Session.
The lobby and the gallery were filled
last night to overaowing, SO much 80
that many people could hardly find

at least one-third more spectators than

called the convention to order, and an

and ordered referred to the proper COM
mittee.
Mr.. Furlong, of Pasadena, nominated
w. U. Masters for the candidacy of
county clerk. j. DeBarth Shorb warmly
seconded it and suggested that it be
made by acclamation. The question
being called Mr.. Masters was nominated
amidst the widest cheering.
This favored candidate said that
the Republican party was willing
to endorse anything from their po-
litical platform to a piece OF
commercial paper. He appreciated
the great honor done him in this conven-
ton by nomination made by acclama-
ton. He believed he had the ability to
transact the business of the Office, and
if he was elected he guaranteed that it
would be performed to the satisfaction
of his supporters, and he could say no
more.
The next nomination was that
of sheriff. J. H. Dockweiler, OF Los
Angeles, opened up his nominating
speech for Ed Gibson of Ell Monte, with
that splendid quotation from Shake
speare: "There is a tide in the affairs
OF man, which, taken at the food, leads
on to fortune" He made very fine
address in favor of his candidate, and
received hearty cheers when the name
was announced. He paid Mr.. Gibson
handsome compliment for his honest
services while in the employ
ment of the internal revenue
department. He was confident that Mr..
Gibson would on the 4th of November
be the choice of the people of this coun-
ty.
Mr.. A. McNally, who had heretofore
been announced as possible candidate
for the shrievalty, fervidly seconded the
nomination of Gibson, and moved that

done, amid yells Indicative of the good
feeling there was entertained for Mr..
Gibson, in the convention and the gal.
lery. The successful nominee thanked
the delegates for their kindness in few
brief and well chosen expressions. For
county treasurer Delegate T. E. Gibbon,
in speech which showed the amount of
Republican corruption in public offices,
nominated DR.. Joseph Kurtz.
His candidate, he said, was a man
who was worthy of the public trust. He
had been here for twenty-one years and
the utterances of the speaker, he be-
lieved, anyone could easily discern to be
the absolute truth.
Mr.. Dillon, of Cerritos, seconded the
nomination of the candidate.
On motion the nomination was made
unanimous.
The popular physician being called
upon for little speech, said that he had
prepared it very carefully, but unfortu-
nately had lett it in his office. He
thanked the convention for their con-
fidence in nominating him as the keeper
of the county funds. The speaker said
he wore no mans collar, and if ifentrusted
with the funds he would guard them as
they should be.
j. De Barth Shorb nominrted for
county auditor w. N. Forker, of New
hall, and ex-Sherif Mitchell second

Calvin Edgerton nominated Edgar A.
Moore. The eloquent attorneys speech,
while it was severe on some of those who
have been incumbents OF that office,
which they secured by the votes of the
Republican party, was very fiattering to
Mr.. Moore. After several seconding
speeches for this gentleman, G. F. VIII
son, of San Fernando, spoke of Fork er's
ability and integrity in speech in
which he claimed that the northern part
of the county was entitled to one nomi-
nee for Office. Major Mitchell also urged
the nomination on the same ground.
Joseph Mesmer supported Edgar A.
Moore.
Mr.. Hungerford, of Artesia, being
called to the platform, did not think that
the convention would expect much of
