DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Lots of Candidates Out and Music
in the Air.
Registrar Brown Makes Statement Of His
Position-Clunie and Maguire-The
Fresno Gathering.

As the time draws near for the holding Of
the Fresno convention the situation be-
comes more complicated. and the fight for
the Craftsmanship grows more intense.
Some of the Cleveland men are favoring
Barney Murphy of San Jose, but the Hill
men are for him to unit. The lines there
fore willnot be drawn as tightly as was to
have been expected, but on this fight, as has
been already stated, hinges the struggle.
Ostrom is an out and out Cleveland man
and has the northern portion of the State
with him al most to man.
Murphy while late in the fight has San
Francisco largely in his wake, and if he
graces the chair 1t will be through the vote
of this city, which holds the balance OF
power.
The battle for delegates at-large is less
complicated than it was, and it now looks
as il the four would be j. 4. Thompson Of
Humboldt. Z. B. Pond of San Francisco, j.
V. Coleman of San Mateo and Stephe NJ.
White of Los Angeles.
NJ. f. Tarpey has been in the fight aud
was looked upon as a formidable antagonist
to any one. but at the last moment he has
pulled himself down and has consented to
accent a district nomination If it should
come his way. SO also has W, w. Foote.
and this leaves the field clear for Coleman
and Pond. Thompson is almost certainty,
while White has what Martin would call
lead pipe cinch."
For district delegates the struggle is not
so simple.
Up in the First District John Daggett has
been talked of, but he is out of 1t, and Clay
Taylor is regarded as the winner since he
succeeded in knocking out ShannahaD, who
was his most formidable rival.
r. 2. Hammond of Marin would like to
accompany him, but Senator \ ell OF MendO-
cinO may puzzle him trihe.
Russ Stevens of Sacramento is talked OF
the Twenty-ffth, as is Alfred 1regidgo .of
Nevada.
In the Third there is something OF a mix.
John Boggs Of Colusa, w. w. FOote, ex-
Senator Frank J. MOffitt, NJ. f. 1aTpey and
others too numerous to mention-tO say
nothing of John Z. Iri,h-are IN the contest.
EX-Judge j. +. Sullivan is guarding the
Fourth, and it looks now as II he would
win. Joe Clark is also making battle,
and has powerful friends rallying to his
support.
The Fifth District may honor Colonel T.
F. Barry from this end, and Fred Farmer
of Santa Clara has a strong call on the
other end of it. Should eX-MayOr Sam
Rucker of San Jose get into it the result
would he fight, but thus far he has said
nothing.
Jesse d. Carr, who has ruled Democratic
politics in his district for years, wants to 60
to Chicago from the Sixth, and his request
is virtually equal TO success. Joseph ID.
Lynch of the Los Angeles Herald Will
prObaly go as his associate.
The Seventh District is still more prolific
of timber, and candidates are numerous. A.
B. Butler, William Forsyth, c. c. Wright
II. c. Grady, DIN Pratt and three or four
others of more or less note are in the field,
and each Is claiming through his friends
that he is sure to win. To-day the lines will
be more closely drawn and the result more
easily predicted.

HE PREFERRED HANGING.
A Good Story Told at the Expense OF
Senator Joe Blackburn.

a Good Story Told ut the Expense OF
Senator Joe Blackburn.
Before 1 ever heard Senator Blackburn
make speech, writes Congressman Camp
bell to the New York Telegram, l must
admit that dreaded the time that would
have to listen to him. They have a funny
idea of humor down in Kentucky, which is
not always funny TO other people who have
not been brought up on blue grass. / had
been told by ex- Congressman Phil ThOmp-
SOD, or some other distinguished Ken
tuckian, that Senator Blackburn in his
young days never lost an opportunity to
make speech, and had so many OppOr-
tunities that the people grew tired OF hear
ing him. Having gone several days without
having a chance 10 make a speech, Mr..
Blackburn heard that there was to be a
''necktie party" in nearby county.
Hangings are called neckte parties in that
section. The executions being public they
are largely attended. At this particular
one there were 10000 persons present.
When the doomed man was brought upon
the scaffod the Sheriff told him that he had
an hour in which to make a speech. 1t was
the fashion then for men sentenced to be
hanged to wind up this earthly career with
a speech. The doomed man thanked the
Sheriff from the bottom of his heart, and
said he was not an orator, although he
would like to live an hour more. Mr.. Black
burn thought he saw an opportunity to adj
dress 10000 people upon the political issue
Of the day, and springing to his feet. he ex-
claimed:
"Mr Sheriff, IL the gentleman will be so
kind be can give me his time and l will
speak for him."
The doomed man turned to the Sheriff and
said: go on with the hanging. would
rather die now than live an hour listening
to Joe Black barn."

Great Rejoicing Over the Visit Of the Two
White Cruisers
PORTLAND, May 1.-The United States
cruisers Baltimore and Charleston arrived
from Astoria at 10 80 A NJ.
At o'clock the First Regiment of the
Oregon National Guard and Battery A
marched down to the river. followed by
thousands of people, who covered the
wharves and the steel bridge. At 1915
o'clock tile Baltimore was sighted rounding
a bend in the river. This was the signal for
cheering, which was redoubled when the
Charleston was seen to follow few minutes
behind. The cruisers steamed along slowly
and passed through the draw of the Union
Pacific steel bridge, amid the blowing of
whistles, the booming of cannon and the
cheers Of the multitude. AT the foot of G
street the Baltimore dropped anchor, and
the Charleston anchored a block below.
From what can be learned the cruisers Will
remain here for several weeks.
In an interview Captain Whitehead of the
Baltimore said the cruisers experienced no
difficulty whatever during the trip. The

by the sOundings, was % feet.

The fight for the Democratic nomination
for Congress in the Fourth District is wax

growing uneasy at the strength which is
being displayed by Mcguire. Out OF 70
delegates accredited TO the district 60 at

Clunie is using every means at bis disposal
to pull number Of them down.
There has been move IN the last day or
two to put Alexander Loughborough in the
