Los Angeles herald., 1892-09-07

past candidates had been assessed
heavily and it was about time to return
to first principles. The impression
should not go out that the Republican
party was party of Office holders
and rich men. A poor man had right
to aspire to Office and not be milked by
men who make their living out of poll
tics. He understood, he said, that al
the last election Republican candidates
for superior judge were assessed $lO0
This was shame and an outrage.
''PUT HIM OUT"
As soon as Mr.. Murphey subsided
Capt. E. Blennerhassett arose. Some
one yelled, ''Put Him Out" At thil
Chairman Murphey said that no one in
the hall could put out man who
wanted to be heard. He proposed, az
long as he was in the chair, to give every
one fair show. These remarks were
received with great applause.
THE HERO OF THE HOUR.
Captain Blennerhassett of the Seventh
ward then, in melo-dramatic style,
said that as the representative Of the
sitting delegation from his ward, he
wanted to say few words. His delega-
tion, he said, wanted harmony, and
with this in view the sitting delegation
from the Seventh ward would Withdraw
from the convention and give way to the
contesting delegation.
This announcement was received with
great applause, and three cheers were
given for Capt. E. Blennerhassett. The
sitting delegation then withdrew, and
the contesting twenty from the Seventh
took the seats made vacant.
The convention ordered that they be
officially seated as delegates.
MR.. KNOX SAT UPON.
George w. Knox, the head of the del
egation seated from the Seventh, then
made bitter speech, in which he re-
viled the unseated delegates as unclean,
politically. He thought that the tenn
pie of the Republican party had been
cleansed, and his heart was glad.
Mr.. Gordon made point of order
that Mr.. Knox was not talking to any
question. The chair 30 ruled, and Mr..
Knox subsided.
TEMPORARY SECRETARIES.
Col. Nudge OF Garvanza nominated
for temporary secretary William H. Car
penter Of Compton.
Mr.. Platt of the Third ward nominated
j. d. Fennessey.
Mr.. Carpenter declined to accept the
secretaryship, as did also Mr.. Fennes-
sey.
M. Fennessey nominated w. P. Ham
ilton, and he was chosen by acclamation.
Two assistant secretaries were ordered
to be elected. j. P. Goytino OF the
C.cb%l, op5 Tob,, oo 0f Ponocno
were chosen by acclamation.
COMMITTEES ORDERED APPOINTED.
Mr.. Thorn of the Sixth moved that a
committee of fifteen be appointed on
credentials, three from each supervisor
al district. 1t was ordered.
Col. Brooker moved that like COM
mittee of fifteen be appointed on rules
and permanent organization. The mo-
ton prevailed.
w. T. Williams moved that commit
tee of five be appointed on resolutions.
1t carried.
Mr.. Day of the Second moved that no
delegate give his proxy to any person
without the consent of the majority of
the delegation. This raised row.
Mr.. Thorn moved, as an amendment,
that no delegate be allowed to give his
proxy to any one, unless he was resi-
dent of the ward or precinct of the pre-
cinct to be represented. This raised
more trouble, and the amendment was
finally withdrawn.
Governor Sheldon moved that Mr..
Days motion only cover precincts where
there was more than one delegate.
w. T. Williams and others wanted to
know what the motion and amendment
was. They were informed.
7. J. Matlock, OF the Sixth, moved
as a substitute, that the whole
matter be referred to the committee on
credentials. The chair ruled the substi-
tute out of order.
Governor Sheldon thought that Chair
man Murphy had not ruled earnestly.
The chair stood with his ruling, not
withstanding.
The original motion of Mr.. Day was
then adopted, with the understanding
that it did not apply to precincts having
only one delegate.
MOVED TO TURNvEREIN.
Col. John I. Brooker moved that the
convention adjourn to meet at o'clock,
at Turnverein hall, which had been do
mated to the convention for the remain
der of its sessions.
Governor Sheldon, by consent, moved
that a temporary sergeant-at-arms be
named, but he withdrew it before it was
voted upon.
The convention then adjourned to
meet at p. M, at Turnverein hail.
