After the co invention had made itself
hoarse a. motion for the appointment OF
Committee on Ways and Means was
adopted, and thu Chair appointed the fol-
lowing gentlemen: j. d. Spreckels, Jacob
Levy. Messrs. McBoyle, Collins ami Van

An amendment was offered that the vote

vention. Carried.
Nichols came TO the front once more with
a resolution requiring all candidates Tor a
place on The ticket 10 appear on the stage,
indoyse the platform and pledge themselves
TO vote with the party whether successful or
not in receiving a nomination. Carried.
MODEST DELEGATES.
The Chair then announced that nomir a.
tons for Mayor We're i'll order, but the con-
vent on seemed suddenly overcome with
modesty, and for moment 1t looked as
though the Office was to 60 a-0egging.
AT this point Captain Swasey moved that
nominations be postponed and that the con-
vention adjourn, but their being no second
the Chairman again announced the order of
business.
J. C. Campbell at length arose in his place
on the floor, and after considerable cpaXng
was persuaded to advance to the reporters
taUle, where he nominated George II.
SanderSun as the standard-bearer OF til q
party in the municipal campaign He told
the convention that when, during the Civil
War. the fate of the nation was trembling in
the balance, little band of pioneers as
sembed In this city and laid the foundation
If the present great Republican party.
Among the number was George Ii. Sander
son, who Ind heen a consistent Republican
ever since, and who in his lifetime had never
been an aSpTant for office till now. The
platform, he cOntended, was a business
platform. ana il was but fitting that buSi-
ness mar of forty years standing should be
chosen To lead It's adhereItS TO victory. In
private life his uprightnesS is weil-known
TACT; IN business circles he Is Immensely
popular; the mechanic and laborer will
stand shoulder TO shoulder III making his
fight, and if given the nomination his cleo
ton viii surely follow.
CUT AND DRIED.
Other nominations were announced in or
der, AMI after considerable delay Captain
Swasey again took The floor and announced
that il looked as though everything was cut
ana dried. He had come to the convention
on purpose 10 second the nomination of a
friend who had asked his support that very
evening, and was astoniShed not to hear his
name mentioned. He would, however, move
that Mr.. SandeTsUn'S nomination be made
unanimous 5.
Ih- Chair ruled the motion out of order
until the nominations had closed.
Nichols moved tnat the nominations be
closed. Carried.

ton uuaniG. GUS, but the Chair refused to en-
terrain the notion until the nominee had
compiled Win the rule calling upon candi-
dates 10 interview the Secretary and indorse
the platform.
MIR. SaudrrsOn was thereupon called to
the stage, and after complying with the
convention amid tremendous applause. He
emphaticaliy ndorsrd the platform aud
youched for the correctness OF ali his pro-
poser had said for him except in one partcu-
laT-he had asked the Administration for a
favor once, and only once, but it was for poor
lone WIDOW ana not for himself. The
widow held the office of PoStmistreSS in a
country town and was about TO be removed
in favor of burly otfire-seeker until the
speaker had used his influence with w. W.
Morrow TO have her retained If elected he
promised to do his duty TO his constituents
and his party by giving the city pure and
clean administration.
The speech was enthusiastically received,
and at lis close Mr. Sanderson was made
the unanimous cho.ce of tile convention for
Mayor.

moved, but at the suggestion of the Chair,
WHO read communication from the State
Central Committee making request to that
end, the convention adjourned until to-mOr-
row, in order to allow the delegates t. par
ticipate in the exercises at the new Wigwam
