OfHcials-The Ticket Completed.

menCed Its session very Canely yeStei-
day morning at $780, A large number
of delegates were absent, and there was
no lobby to speak of. The gallery was
.graced by about five ladies, and nearly
sixty men up there also took in the pro-
.ceedings. The nominations for senator
iial and assembly candidates was the
first matter submitted to the delibera-
ton of the convention. Judge Variel
nominated, for the Thirty-eighth sena-
torial district, James r. Finlayson, and
Chairman Gage nominated r. B. Car
penter. This last nomination was re-
tceived with applause. The cry of "five
dollars" Immediately arose, and the
candidates PUNCHED up: Chairman
Gage introduced Mr.. Finlayson to the
convention in the following words
"Gentlemen, have the honor of intro
.ducing to you James r. Finlayson. He
has paid his five dollars, and is entitled
to be heard for five minutes"
The gist of Judge Carpenters talk was
that he was not pledged to Senator
Stanford. as had been said Of him. He
denied that he was pledged to
anybody so far. Carpenter received IA
votes, and Finlayson 81. The nomination
of Mr.. Carpenter was made unanimous.
For the Representatives. the Seventy
seventh assembly district there were
more candidates. Walter S. Moore was
the prime favorite from the beginning
and Frank P. Kelly filled up the tail end
of the contest. The ballot resulted in
the gallant colonel Of the fire brigade
obtaining 113 votes, G. w. Pendleton 50,
Frank G. Prescott 12,and the able prose
cutor of criminals cool 10.
The next nomination was that of
assemblyman for the Seventy-sixth
assembly district.
The candidates were Captain F. A.
Marion of Vernon, of the Evening
Express" office, Hiram A. Unruh,
superintendent of the Santa Anita
ranch. and w. H. Mace and J. A. Buch-
anan. Onel of the features of Mr..
Marion's speech was that he would
strenuously. object to any further reduc-
ton of Los Angeles county.
Judge Mace did not proclaim himself
as distinguished warrior, whose record
was worthy of recognition at the hands
Of the convention, but he honestly adj
nitted that he had paid $500 for sub
titute during the civil war. His war
ing had been a bloodless one, all for the
Republican party, ever since the late
lnpleasantness terminated
An excited delegate here got up and
said that he arose to a question OF priv
ilege.
Acting Chairman Lewis-"State the
question"
Mr.. Mccoy of the Third-"What be-
came of the substitute ?"
Judge Mace (dramatically)-"He died
for his country" (Laughter).
Pychopap,s praatpct claim, tO
recognition seemed to be that he
was the father OF five stalwart sons who
vote the Republican ticket in this
county. After the balloting terminated,
Judge Mace's substitute for candidate to
the assembly turned out to be Captain
Marion, the school trustee and church
elder of Vernon district. The $500 sub
stitute received only five votes. The
ballot stood as follows: Marion, rs;
Buchanan, 81; Unruh, 90; Mace, s.
Captain Marion's nomination was, on
motion of Buchanan, of Pasadena, made
unanimous.
The convention shortly afterwards
adjourned till one O'Clock, without
achieving any more work.
Afternoon Session.
. In orderto accelerate matters as much
as possible, the hour for reconvening
had been set for p. M, but at that
time there were not more than fifty del
egates present. These, however, were
gradually reinforced as the tardy ones
dribbled in, and at l :15 O'Clock when
Chairman Gage pounded the table for
order, there were fully two hundred and
fifty present.

w. Pendleton, secretary OF the county
central committee, read the list OF the
precincts in the first supervisorial dis

The country delegates left in body,
and Chairman Gage ordered the conven-
ton to proceed with the regular order OF
business.
w. H. Thomas then nominated, in a
brief but eloquent speech, E. E. Gal
breth as a candidate for the office of JUS
tice of the peace, in and for Los Angeles
township. This nomination was sec
.oned by Dr. Sinsabaugh, G. M. Wells,
S. A. Garrett and H. A. Barclay.
w, T. Williams placed in nomina-
ton 1.-THE name of Louis Stanton, in a
lengthy euloglstlc speech, In which he
