| COMMITTEES APPOINTED.
Mr.. J. ID. Fennessy of the Second ward
was then elected secretary.
Mr. Arnold of the Ninth ward moved
that a committee consisting of fifteen
delegates, three from each supervisoral
| district, be appointed as committee on
credentials. Adopted.
Mr.. Osborne moved that a committee
of fifteen delegates, three from each su-
pervisoral district, be appointed as a
committee on permanent organization
and order of business. Adopted.
Mr.. Arthur of Pasadena moved that a
committee of five, composed of one from
each supervisorial district, be appointed
on platform and resolutions. On motion
of Colonel Woodland this was amended
80 that the committee consist of fifteen,
or three from each supervisorial district.
Adopted.
Major Donnell moved that all resolu-
tions be referred to the committee on
resolutions. Na
A recess was taken until half-past L
o'clock.
ANOTHER RECESS NECESSARY.
The convention was again called to
order by Judge Wilson at 2:30 O'Clock,
and the crowds in the lobby and the
galleries were larger than at the morn
ing session. The chair announced that
the committee on credentials would not
be ready to report until 3 80 o'clock.
Major Donnell-I then move that this
convention transact no business until
the committee on credentials has made
it's report
Chairman Wilson-That would nat
urally follow; the first business for con-
sideration is the report of the commit
tee, and no motion is necessary.
The convention then took recess un-
til 3 80 p. M, at which hour the COM
mittee on credentials reported that the
Calabasas two half votes were allowed
and that same ruling had been made in
Garvanza, and that the delegates certi-
fed by judges of election in the Second
and Eighth wards as elected be seated.
The five delegates from Santa Monica
were seated with four votes. Marshal
Gard then moved that all speakers be
confined to five minutes, and only al
N IN
MURPHY WANTS MORE TIME.
Mr.. Murphy moved that the time be
made thirty minutes. This brought out
storm of noes. Mr.. Murphy contin-
ued: "We insist on having hearing
before this convention for the contest
ants. The work of the committee on
credentials has been done shamelessly."
This brought out an avalanche OF
yells, boots, misses and cheers, and the
chair called the speaker to order.
Mr.. Murphy-As one Los Angeles Re-
publican l don't propose to be shut off
in five minutes as to whether the dele
gates of the Second and Eighth wards
have been elected
A voice-How about the Fifth?
Mr.. Murphy-Thank God, there is no
contest in the Fifth ward.
A voice--We had better gag the man.
Then came another war dance, en-
livened by cheers, yells and Kisses.
Mr.. Murphy then continued: "This
is gag rule. The committee heard two or
three affidavits read and then shut off
the contestants entirely, and now it is
proposed to shut them out in this con-
yention from a hearing. We do not
want free speech stopped. Judge Wilson
is stranger here, and the contestants
had only one representative on that
committee. Now it is sought to keep
these facts out of this convention
A voice-Go where you belong, you're
q Democrat.
Captain Blennerhassett- raise the
point of order. The committee on Gre
dentials is not on trial before this con-
vention.
The Chair-The point is we'll taken.
Marshal Gard-Let the gentleman
talk, by all means.
Mr.. Murphy-I am not candidate
for Office, and If this convention intends
to shut off this inquiry, you must be-
ware the consequences.
Governor Sheldon-In the interests of
good feeling and harmony, think five
minutes too short to carry on this ques-
tion of contests.
GARD ALLEGES A CONSPIRACY.
Marshal Gard-Insinuations have
been made that this convention wants
to gag somebody. say it is an injus-
tice to Republicans to put up job to
hold them over here until tomorrow.
A conspiracy has been entered into by GER
tain gentlemen who intend to consume
the time of this convention for purposes OF
delay. Is that justice? Is that politics
l don't want to threaten, but in the
language of Mr.. Murphy, beware of the
results if you trife with this conven-
ton.
Judge Sheldon-If there. is any con-
spiracy here Pm not in it. I shall sup
port the nominee with all my heart, if
he be Lindley or any of the candidates.
/ move that an exception shall be made
in the speeches on contested seats, and
that these speeches shall be limited to
thirty minutes. q
Mr.. Variel-Let us limit the thirty
minute speeches to two on each side of the
question, and make this motion as an
amendment.
A vote was then taken on Governor
Sheldon's amendment and it was lost
by ayes, 112; noes, 1874; which an
nouncement was received with cheers,
yells and Misses. as
JUDGE vARIEL's VOICE FOR LIBERTY.
Mr.. Variel-I want to say that there
is no disposition on the part of this con-
