SOME FURTHER DETAILS.
Delegates Find it Altogether Too Warm
for Active Work.


SACRAMENTO, July 25.-Delegates to the
State Republican convention. which will be
held tomorrow, began arriving to-day. but
most OF them will not be in until late to-
night or tomorrow morning. As a conse-
quence politics are rather quiet, although a
number of candidates are on the ground
and are getting in some heavy work where
they think it will do the most good. Warm
weather makes hustllng, even by expeetant
candidates, hard work, aud the delegates
here seem content to sit in comfortable arm
chairs in front of the Golden Eagle Hotel,
which seems to be the political headquar-
ters.
The ostensble purpose of the conven.
ton, to nominate Presidential electors,
seems to have been overshadowsd by the
contests in several districts for nominations
Tor COngressmen. No one is particularly
anxious TO be nominated for the office of
eleetor, but Congressional aspirants are
more numerous than delegates.
In the First District there are four men SO
far who have announced themselves as
candidates for the CONGRESSIONAL nomina-
ton. They are: Matock of Tehama,
Carothers of Ukiah. Parkman of Sonoma
aud L. w. Davis OF SOnoma. OF these
Matlock Is on the scene. and is working
hard among the few delegates here.
In the Second District there Is a pretty
fight between Grove L. johnson of Sacra-
mentO and John +. Davis of Calaveras.
Both men are here, and both seem confident
of victory. Outside of Sacramento County
Davis apparently has the strongest follow
Ing, and even in this city he has many ad-
hefents
The Third District shows up with five
eandidates-G. A. Whitney, S. G. Hill
born. Judge Gibson, j. A. Waymire and
Reese Clark, and they are all here looking
after their interests. All seem confident.
as candidates always are, and each thinks
that he would gracefully fill Congress sional
seat Whitney claims to have 20 votes out
OF 81 necessary TO nominate, and his chances
are considered fair.
In the Fourth District Harbor Commits
sloner Z. O.. Alexander appears 10 have
everything his own way. as does Congress
man Eugene T. Loud in the Fifth.
The Seventh District convention met at
Mereed to-day and nominated Hon. W. W.
Bawers, and the Sixth will meet later at
santa Cruz. The sentiment among the
SIKH District delegates appears TO be that
Hervey Llndley Of Los Angeles Will secure
the coveted honor, although Mayor Hazard
OF the same city is still in the race.
AS before stated, candidates for Presi-
dental electors are hard to find. Those
mentioned so far are thomas X. Bard OF
Ventura and Joseph G. Campbell of San
Francisco for electors large, and s. NJ.
Shortrldge for elector from the Fourth Dis
tTict.
General \. P. Chipman of Red Bluff viii
be chairman OF the convention and Judge
Carpenter of Los Angeles is slated for
chairman of the committee ON platform.
The convention will be called to order to-
morrow afternoon at 2 O'clock in the Capt.
toi building, and after the temporary organ
ization will probably adjourn until Wedncs-
dav morning.
Unless something unforeseen happens the
convention will have completed its labors
by Wednesday afternoon and the delegates
will be hOmeward bound.
