The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1890-08-20

John Boggs evidently found his voice dis
agreeable, and moved that it be called by
counties. After some backing and filling
and a slight war of words this was agreed to,
and Mr.. B0ggs smiled his old Missouri
smile. W. j. Curtis then secured recogni-
ti0n and presented to the convention for
temporary Chairman the name of Hon.
Byron Waters of San Bernardino. He was
greeted with cheers, and when George r. B.
Hayes Of San Francisco seconded the nomi-
nation the cheers were renewed.
WATERS FOR CHAIRMAN.
James II. Budd of San Joaquin then
moved that the Secretary be instructed to
cast the ballot for Mr. Waters, which was
carried, and ID. A. Ostrom came to the front
with motion to elect him by acclamma-
tion, which was also carried, amid tumul-
tous applause.
Mr.. Waters was conducted to the chair
by Mr. Hammond, and on being introduced
launched at once into TRADE OF abuse, di-
rected at the Republican party lie ar
ralgned them for every evil known to man,
and said that when the people needed re-
lief they had always turned to the Demo-
Gratis.
On motion of Hayes of San Francisco,
Hammond was then made Vce-Chairman.
A. G. Bertheis and James Neal, both of San
francisco, were elected as Secretaries IN
order to avoid conflict. The question of
Assistant Secretaries was referred to the
Committee on Permanent Organization.
SLIGHT sNAG.
The convention nearly struck snag
when Delegate Rogers of Alameda intro
duced a resolution favoring uniform
ltquor-license law and cOndemning hostile
liquor legislation. Mr.. Rogers got upon
the platform to read the resolution, and
after he had read it he started to make
speech. Swinging his arms above his
head, Ire said that he belonged to the
n nj laSl In lng.l- In
cratic party as bulwark to preserve their
privileges. The Democratic party is not in
favor OF national Interference with prize
fights, he said, and would not destroy and
suborn all the privileges OF liberty-loving
people.
ROGERS-SAT UPON.
The convention began to smell big rat
as Mr.. Rogers went on with his speech
and they saw that he was putting his foot
in 1t in very decided way, and was apt to
bring the wrath of the temperance men
down Oh their heads. At once dozen men
were on their feet and motions to refer the
resolutions came in from all sides. while
some raised the point of order that Mr..
Rogers had been granted the privilege of
reading his resolution and not Of making a
speech. a big row was imminent, but
Chairman Waters seized hold of one of the
motions to refer and ruled that Mr. Rogers
was out of order. The motion was declared
carried and saved the convention from a
snarL
A RECESS.
