Associated Press Dispatches
New YORK, August 2O-Powderly says
the strike has ceased to be one
OF the local assembly, and has
become one of the whole organization
and it will use every means in it's power
to continue the fight. He intimates
that the Federation of the Railroad
Employees will support the movement.
The situation is serious. Grand Mas
ter Sargent, president of the council,
and chief of the fremen's organization,
has ordered a meeting of the supreme
council Saturday, at Terre Haute, for
consideration of the question of the
New York Central strike. Whether this
movement means that the council must
go through certain formalities before 8
general strike can be declared, OF
whether no strike will be declared at all
remains to be seen.
Powderly and Devlin, of the executive
board of Knights of Labor, called on
Vice President Webb of the New York
Central this evening. Toucey was with
Webb, and the four gentlemen had an
interview which lasted twenty minutes.
The offer of Powderlv to submit the
matter to arbitration, was renewed.
Webb refused on the ground already
presented. In other words he said the
company was not jumping on the
Knights of Labor, they did not dis
charge the men because they were
Knights of Labor, but for good reasons.
Neither Depew nor Vanderbilt was op-
posed to the Knights of Labor as an or
ganization. Powderly once more urged
that the matter be arbitrated, but Webb
remained firm.
Devlin asked Webb if he would con-
sent to an investigation of the causes
surrounding the discharge of fifteen
men. Webb reiterated that there was
nothing to investigate; that the COM
pany was managing the road, and he
did not see why their action should be
questioned. Devlin then asked him il
he did not owe the public and the en-

lie declared that the other three gentle.
men who were mentioned in this con-
vention were his friends, and there
could be no animosity between them.
He believed in economy in the
management of public affairs.
The same rules which governed
private business should be applied to pub
lie business. He believed man should
take care of the interests of the people
when they placed their trust in him.
He endorsed the platform, and was ready
to abide by the decision of the con-
vention.
None of the candidates could have
been anything but satisfied with the
reception given by the delegates during
tn the time they appeared before them.
The supporters of each candidate
ccheered, applauded and waved hats and
handkerchiefs in the air. The general
enthusiasm extended to the galleries,
and other portions of the hall occupied
by spectators.
-, AS soon as Paulsell had finished his
speech there were general cries of bal
lot, and preparations were accordingly
made for roll call. The vote was
announced in most cases by the chair
man of the respective delegations though
the roll of some delegations, including
San Francisco, had to be called

Associated Press Dispatches. |

SAN JOSE, August 20th.-T The propo-
ssition to endorse a candidate for United
States senator, which was expected to
he one of the chief features of the Demo-
cratic convention, was disposed Of this
morning in way that had not been
looked for. Before the convention
met today there were vague rumors
afoat that Stephen M. White
had decided to withdraw from
the fight, but nothing was known def
snitely about it. When Max Pepper, OF
San Francisco, chairman of the COM
mittee on permanent organization and
order of business, presented the report,
that clause relating to the endorsement
of candidate for United States SEN
,ator was the only one that created any
excitement, and was received with
great cheering on the part OF
Whites supporters, though in
the minority report, which was present.
ed moment later and which was con-
Cured in, the endorsement clause met
with similar reception.
When both reports had been read,
White took the platform amid a storm
of applause, and moved the adoption of
the minority report.
The Surprise of the Day.
Mr.. Whites announcement, favoring
the minority report, was evidently a
perfect surprise to the majority. He,
was cheered and applauded through
out his speech, and at its conclusion
more than half the delegates rose to
their feet, swung their hats in the air
and displayed the greatest enthusiasm.
Mr.. White declared that it had not
been his intention to ask the convention
to endorse him-all he wished was that
the convention should agree to endorse
some candidate for the position, and
then to have the choice of the conven-
tion determined afterwards. He was
convinced of the advisability of having
United States senators elected by direct
vote of the people, and declared that the
elections for senator in the legislature of
this state, several times resulted in
disgraceful bargains, and sales, and
that according to the present system,
merit counted for nothing.
He closed his address with the declara-
tion that he proposed to fight during
the coming campaign for the success of
the Democratic party, and that certain
threats which had been made against
him would not cause him to relinquish
his position as a candidate for the
United States senatorship.

ployees Of the read any duty regarding
its management, in which all were more
or less interested. Webb did not repyl.
Devlin then said there was no use in
further discussing the matter, as the
railway had declared itself in favor of
an independents course.
Toucey then said Master Workman
Lee was primarily responsible for the
strike.
Devlin asked Toacey if he would waive
the question of Lees action, and con-
slider the discharge of other men.
Toucey and Webbretired and that
ended the conference. Powderly and
Devlin then withdrew without making
any threats or intimating what they
intended to do.
Webb gives this version of the inter-
view, and said the whole conference was
carried on in most pleasant manner.
At the Terre Haute meeting, Sargent
said he would lay the whole case before
the council. He fully endorsed the posi-
tion OF the executive board.
'The executive board" said Powderly
tonight, "says to the Knights Of Labor
and to the public, that the position fin
ally assumed by the company makes it
necessary for them to vindicate the
right OF labor to organize by prosecuting
the strike to the bitter end"
When the ominous condition of affairs
became plain, late tonight, that strike
of all the employees of the New York
Central could without trouble be or
dered, either tonight or in the morning,
reporter went to the Grand Central
to interview the railway officials, Webb
and Voorhees,, who for the present sleep
there. Both officials had retired to their
improvised cots, but they received the
reporter cordially. Webb said he con-
sidered that the strike was declared i'm
the belief that the Central manage
ment were opposed to the Knights of
Labor. He wished to reiterate his
statement that this was not the truth.
When told that a strike over the
whole road would be declared tonight or
tomorrow, Webb said that in spite of all
the road would run all trains in the
morning as usual. Neither he nor
Voorhees, appeared much depressed.
He wished the public to know that he
had no official notice frora Powderly of
a strike, and said all this time the COM
pany had not been lying idle. When
told that the strike meant all the en-
ployes but the engineers, he appeared
somewhat startled, but neither he nor
Voorhees, made any comment thereon.
Powderly, when asked tonight what
would be the next movement, said it
had not been determined, but he would
tomorrow issue an appeal to the mechan-
les and all other employees of the Cen
trail Hudson system, and connecting
lines. The document will be based upon
the refusal of the company to arbitrate
the difficulties, and will call upon them
to stop work at once.
Sargent, Sweeny, Wilkinsonand How
ard will leave at an early hour in the
morning for Terre Haute to attend the
meeting of the supreme council.
Every stepI have taken, said Webb,
has been approved by Vanderbilt,

THE CANDIDATES.
Each Makes his Bow to the Public, and
Pledges Fealty to the Party.


Pledges Fealty to the Party.
SAN JOSE, August 20-After all the
convention speeches had been conclud-
ed, the candidates for the gubernatorial
nomination were invited to appear be-
fore the convention. The first candi-
date to step on the platform beside the
chairman's desk, was j. V. Coleman.
As soon as the cheering
which greeted him had subsidized,
he said he was proud to appear
before the convention to indorse the
platform, which he felt had been
adopted by the selected wisdom of the
California Democracy. The outlook for
the coming campaign was such that the
Democrats should be sure of victory.
Though there were four candidates in
the field for this nomination, no ami
mostly existed among them. Every
thought that he had ever had politically
had been with the Democratic party,
and he had never raised his hand or his
voice in any political cause but that.
With that assurance he was prepared to
trust his fate to the convention.
E. B. Pond next appeared and made q
short address. He said he felt highly
honored to have his name mentioned in
connection with this nomination. He
had full faith in the result of the coming
campaign, no matter who should be the
nominee of the party. He realized the
responsibilities which would rest upon
him if selected to head the ticket. but
he was prepared for faithful service to
the entire commonwealth. He ap-
preciated the value of economical
government. Retrenchment and reform
should be the policy of the party. He
endorsed the platform and promised to
do all in his power to carry out it's pro-
visions.
w. D. English then addressed the
convention. He said it was the first
time his name had ever been presented
as candidate for any elective office.
His long services as an active Democrat
enabled him to appreciate the respon-
sibility which would fall upon him if he
should be selected as the nominee of the
party, but he would use his best energies
to secure to it triumphant success at the
polls. He endorsed the platform, and
would endeavor to give an honest and
economic government, no matter who
should be the nominee. The conven-
ton could be assured that his heart was
with the Democratic party.

SAN JOSE, August 20. = Chairman
Waters called the Democratic state con-
vention to order at 10: 20 this morning.
The report of the committee on Gre
dentials was read and approved, there
being no contests.
The committee on permanent organi-
zation and order of business recon-
mended that the nominations be taken
up in the usual order, and also that the
convention endorse some candidate for
United States senator. This clause was
greeted with great cheering.
A minority report was then read, con-
curing in the majority report in all
points, except that relating to the en-
.dorsement of senatorial candidate, and
containing instead, clause favoring the
bill now pending in congress, providing
for the election of United States senator

whites self-sacrifice.
The minority report was also read
with great applause, and when it sub
sided, Stephen M. White, of Los
Angeles, walked to the platform amid
tremendous cheering of the delegates.
Mr.. White then moved the adoption of
the minority report. This motion
was greeted with another outburst of
applause. When it subsidized Mr.. White
expressed his thanks for the support
which had been given him, as he be-
lieved, by the majority of the members
of the convention. He then declared
that in spite of the charges of malicious
persons, and of persons whose prin-
cipal occupation was the assassina-
ton of character, he stood ready
to sacrifice any personal aspiration
which he might have. He reviewed his
record in California and in the Demo-
cratic party, and declared that no one
held the interests of the state or the party
.dearer than himself, and he proposed to
fight for the Democratic ticket during
the coming campaign.
His address was greeted with cheers,
and the minority report was carried,
after which Terry, of Fresno, read the

Claims EIOquently stated.

SAN JOSE, August 20.-The real con-
test of the convention CONNIE need this
afternoon. Two ballots were taken in
the gubernatorial nominations, but the
selection of candidate to represent the
Democratic party at the head OF the
ticket is still unsettled. Mayor Pond,
of San Francisco, led on both ballots,
receiving 2l2 on the first and 215 on the
second, but is still apparently a long
way from a nomination, as 500 votes are
necessary to choice.
AS soon as the convention met this
afternoon, chairman Waters declared
nominations for the governorship in or
der.
Rogers Nominates Pond,
The first speaker to appear on the
platform was Arthur Rogers, of San
Francisco, who nominated f. B. Pond.
He said that all the recent contests in
California had been made ON state issues,
and had resulted in Democratic victories.
California spends more. money than any
state in the union, except New York and
Pennsylvania. The present rate of tax
alton was exceedingly high the burdens
OF the people were great, and
they would not stand it any longer.
He had trusted in vain to party plat
forms, and what they demanded now
was business governor who would
assist in reducing taxation. Such man
was E. B. Pond. With him at the head
of the ticket, thousands of Republicans
would unite with the Democracy, and
victory for the ticket would be assured.
The nomination of Pond would meet the
demands of the people; for, if elected, he
would reform the financial system, pay
the debts of the state and secure obe-
dience to the laws. He was a man who
had always engaged in productive in
dustry; he had no friends to reward, or
enemies to punish. He was strong
man before the people, and he won his
fights ever in Republican years.
