GEORGE E. GARD, Chairman.
R. HI. F. VARIEL, Secretary.
Mr.. Murphy moved as an amendment
to the report that in voting for candi-
dates each delegate cast his ballot for
the man of his choice. He thought it
would be better to remain in convention
two weeks than that the work should be
rushed through and produce defeat in
November. The party should get rid Of
all bosses.
The speaker was asked to send up his
amendment in writing. He did it, but
was very doubtful if the chairman would
be able to read it.
Mr.. Gage: cit is matter OF indiffer-
ence to me, sir; the secretary will have
to 'wrestle' with it," (Laughter.)
Mr.. Barclay advocated the putting OF
the county assessorship twelfth instead
of thirteenth on the list as reported by
the committee and make the auditor
ship thirteenth.
The amendments were, on motion of
Mr.. Malone, submitted to the vote OF
the convention. At this time the dele
gates were so unruly that it was neces-
sary for the chairman to bang forcibly
on his table with loaded cane. Most
of the city delegates voted for the tabling
of the amendments, but the whole coun-
try contingent voted against that mo-
ton.
The amendment of Mr.. Barclay was
then adopted.
Major George f.. Gard opposed Mr..
Murphy's amendment, as it would cause
the loss of time and produce confusion.
II the chairman of any delegation has
not the confidence of his people, fire him
out and appoint another.
G. H. Brooker, the delegate from
Artesia, said that if any one desired to
cast a secret vote, he should be given
that right.
Here time was called by some of the
delegates:
''Time," answered the chairman sis
made for slaves. We propose to take all
the time we need to ventilate all
questions that may arise before the
house."
Mr.. Murphy said he did not make his
amendment because he was afraid to
show his vote. The country delegation
had stated to him that they would stand
by him to the bitter end-"Give the
convention secret ballot and it will
give the people good list of candi-
dates," was his'confident closing remark.
Capt. Starin thought there was not one
solitary boss in the convention. This lu-
dicrous remark made everybody laugh,
the delegates laughing even more heart
lily than the gallery.
The motion of Mr.. Murphy was put
to vote. The chair could not determine
which way it stood, and ordered a
count. The entire country delegation
was in favor of Murphy's amendment,
and part of one city ward.
The tellels stated that there were over
200 votes in favor of it and it was
adopted.
The report of the committee on
permanent organization and order
Of business was then adopted
as amended. Judge Hatch, chair
man of the committee on resolu-
tions and platform, reported the adop-
| ton, first, of the national platform Of
| 1883 and of the state platform of 1890;
the second paragraph patted Markham
on the back, as did the third and fourth,
including Mr.. Bowers, of San Diego, in
it's encomiums, giving final puff to
Gen. Vandever. The fifth en-
dorsed the Australian method OF
| balloting; the sixth declared the
