6iasm it made up in noise, 80 mucn so
that it became necessary for Chairman
Gilmore, of the county central commit
tee, to appoint a sergeant-at-arms before
anything else. William StGrmer was
the appointee, and he was empowered to
appoint three assistants. Between the
four of them it was still impossible to
stop the noise, and St9rmer was sew
eral times seen running distractedly
around trying to quell the talking, and
vowing that, by gosh, he must do some
thing. Mr.. Gilmore had hard time in
getting the delegates seated, the country
delegates going to the right, and the city
members, divided into wards, seating
themselves to the left. The first kick
registered was from James Hay, one Of
the delegates representing Artesia, who
wanted to know how he and several 9TH
there were not chairs enough to go
around. Finally the chairman request
ed the delegates to sit down anywhere,
promising that during the noon recess
the seating accommodations should be
revised, so that no more trouble need be
anticipated.
At 10 AS the meeting was again called
to order, and S. S. Willard of the Second
ward arose and placed in nomination
for temporary chairman w. H. Thomas.
This gentleman, however, declined
the proffered honor, and placed in NOM
nation Hon. H. T.Gage, who was there
upon elected as temporary chairman by
reclamation on motion of E. Maud.
Messrs. w. H. Thomas and Major w.
G. Furrey, who were appointed as
committee for that purpose, escorted
Mr.. Gage to the platform.
Mr.. Gage, who was very warmly re-
ceived, then addressed the convention
briefly. He said that if the Republicans
failed to elect the entire state ticket,
great political calamity would befall not
only this portion of the state, but the
whole of California, and never again
should the south receive recognition at
the hands of Northern California. He
advocated the laying down of all per-
sonal ambition in favor of the G. o. p,
which has always been and always will
be in the right.
On motion of R. H. F. Variel, second
ed by E. Maud, Frank E. Lowry, clerk
Of department four of the superior court,
was unanimously elected as temporary
secretary.
MCGEE, of Pasadena, then moved that
the chair appoint committee of fifteen
on permanent organization and order of
business. Major Cards amendment to
the effect that the chair, in appointing
the committee, select one member from
each ward in the city and two from each
supervisoral district in the county pre-
vailed.
On motion of E.. Miles, the same course
was adopted with regard to the commit
tee on credentials. -
d. P. Hatch moved to appoint aeon
mittee OF five on platform and resolu-
tons, but w. F. Fitzgerald's amend
ment to the effect that this committee
be made numerically and otherwise the
same as the others, prevailed.
The chair then appointed all three
committees, but his appointments did
not meet with the appreciation of the
city delegates and all sorts of changes
were suggested by the various wards.
This brought Major Furrey to his feet
with motion to the effect that as the
power of appointing these committees
had been vested in the chair, his APP
pointments be endorsed, so1 that the
whole matter be referred back to the
convention. He was backed up by loud
applause from the country side of the
house; but the motion was finally laid
upon the table, amid scene of confu-
sion.
The necessity for sergeant-at-arms
was again apparent, and the appoint
ment of w. E. Stoermer and two assist
ants was confirmed, the convention
agreeing to pay them for their services.
When order was finally restored, J..
w. Wood, of Pasadena, stated that the
~ rr.x Co.,
ton on the committees, and that if the
city wanted their corporation this de-
feet would have to be remedied. Final
ly, on his motion, the committees were
increased by the addition of ten mem
bers each from the supervisoral districts
outside the city.
The committees were ultimately fixed
up as follows:

ton and order of business-First ward,
