EVERYTHING EORKS IN HARMONY.
O'Brien, Brooks, EIeppeHberg and Scott
Are Chosen.
Nominations for Supervisors to Be Made
EeYt Week Records Of the
Nominees.

These were the nominations made by the
Nom Partisan convention last night.
1t would be hard to find four better men
ia the city, and there is not one of them
but has public record for integrity and
probity.
Every name will without doubt add
strength 10 a ticket which IS already strong
and which is gaining friends every day.
Thomas O'Brien has already served the
people four years as an official and his
actions have never been called in question.
He has always been on the side of the
people and the bosses have found it imp0s-
sibe to control him.
Henry Scott proved bis character when he
acted as elsor for the Wallace Grand Jury,
aud, in spite of the howl which was raised,
he never finched from what he considered
his duty.
Max Brooks has been a merchant OF this
city fer many years. and during all that
time no man has had better standing IN the
community.
Otto Kloppenberg has served the city
already in positions OF trust.
The action Of the convention in adding
these three names last night is blow 10 the
bosses, ana Kelly and Crimmins are more
greatly disturbPd than before. They realize
now more fully than ever that their ticket is
doomed to defeat, and they are, as cOnse-
Quence, completely az sea.
Ebert is so strong with the voters that
they Know that it VIII be impossible to find
any one who can beat him. Beyond that,
they will have q hard task finding aUy one
willing to try.
CANDIDATES SCARCE.
East0n does not want it, SandersOn is
unpopular, Stetson would not accept, and
the others who might stand any chance at
the polls have no desire to risk defeat
AS prominent member of the Nonparti-
san convention said last night: I'VE have
not named a man thus far who can be adj
Yisediy critic Zed, and every one of them
has had an opportunity to prove his popu-
larity. When the ticket Is completed there
Will not be a man who can fDd any fault
with II. We 90 not expect TO get all the
votes, but We viii pile up majority that
will make Martin Kelly's hair stand On end
when he sees it."
One feature of last nights meeting was
tile display of enthusiasm. Every one Of
those present seemed TO manifest the keen
est interest in all that took place, and every
nomination was greeted with loud applause.
Everybody seemed more than satisfied
with the result, and even such men as
Ad0lph Sutro and john Nightingale lad
aside their accustomed dignity and amped
and clapped their hands like sehoolboys.
Chairman Magee seemed equally well
pleased and the broad smile which covered
his face showed that he was satisfied with
the result He was not SO demonstrative as
some of his colleagues, but he nodded MS
approval when the secretary announced the
votes.
SUPERVISORS WANTED.
There was only one drawback and that
was the failure 10 name more candidates
for Supervisor. There we're plenty of
aspirapts but it was thought best not TO
make haste. Ii was realized that the names
placed on that list would be most severely
inspected, and ii was decided to wait until
such time as men could be agreed upon who
could not be called in question.
For that reason it was agreed to allow
the matter to go over for the present Mon
day. however, they will probably be taken
Up,
When the convention was called to order
some considerable time after the customary
hour Of assembly the chairman read the
names Of several delegates dropped from
the roll OF the convention because OF re-
ported absences ty the sergeant-at-arms
He also named those which had been sub
stituied for the dellnquents.
4 ripple of excitement was then caused
by the inquiry of c. j. Swift on this score.
BE said that be did not desire to be n.y.
peroritieal, but he would say that as
member of the executive committee be had
not been consulted in the matter of the
changes; nor had he been consulted as
regards any OF the changes in delegates
since the organization Of the convention.
Mr. Nagee replied that he had consulted
seven at least of the ten on the committee
in making these changes, AMI it was asking
a little too much to require him almost daily
10 send notices to the members OF the yari-
Gus committees whom he had to consult
I He desired TO correct the impression that
he bad made these changes without consul
tation or ever taken any action not strictly
IN the line Of the duty Of his Office as chair
man.
Mr.. Swift eagerly explained then that IL
l..
the chairman. The convention and he indi-
vidually had tie most perfect faith in his
pTObity.
Mr. Magee promised that Mr. Swift would
be- notified Of future consultations and the
subject was dropped.
4 communication was reRd from the
Board of Control Of the California League
Of Progress recommending the adoption
aud approval OF the suggestion Of the Cali
forRia Association of Civil Engineers that
It would be in keeping with the progress
made in municipal governmental affairs TO
nominate an experienced civil engineer for
the Office of Superintendent Of Streets, one
who should be free from political ohliga-
lions and from all pledges other than TO dis
charge the duties of the Office without fear
or favor. Such a course, IL was thought,
would meet the unqualified Endorsement Of
all good citizens.
This subject was referred TO the COM
mitIee on nominations for consideration in
the naming of its choice OF a candidate.
The committees on Supervisors reported
that it had been chasing up and down dur
ing the week Tor proper candidates and had
made itself half sick in the effort without
success. 1t asked for further time in which
to report nominees. desiring to do the in
Quiry full justice. The request was granted.
For Supervisor Of the Tenth Ward Jere-
miah Nunan and Michael Clarke were pro-
posed.
resolution was offered and adopted
that ali persons whose names may be pre-
scented before the convention as candidates
be first interviewed by the committee.
NOMINATIONS MADE.
q. II. Scott r. for Sheriff was nom-
mated by reclamation on motion OF j. q.
Easiland.
}. H. Gilmore was the other candidate,
but the committee. in reporting on the
names, gave it as its sense that Mr.. Scott
receive the nomination by acclamation.
G. j. Swift offered the following resolu-
ton, debate on which he asked to have de-
ferTed until future meeting:
WHEREAS In the outset of this convention II was
deemed eXEedlent to adopt provision that none
of IT'S members should be candidates for Office:
whereas its nominees far were so selected
that no abuse could possibly result from a sus.
pension Of the rules, which IN certain Instances
ht and proper candidate had not had; aud
whereas a leading newspaper in this city has
wisely commented on the existence OF the rule
tending 10 bar out The best material;
ResolUed, That The provision OF the platform
debafTing members of the convention from
nomination be subject 10 suspension on motion
maze for that purpose. ana that any member OF
the convention nominated under a suspension
OF said rule shall not BE- allowed to object to his
name being placed IN nomination nor TO decline
the same when nomination is made.
Next were taken up the candidates for
Recommendations j. Bowen (R) and Otto
Klops enberg 3D..
Mr. Magee had few words to say for Mr..
Bowen, the only candidate whom be had
nominated, believing that no one would
make better official she is" said he, "a
mao whom the Office has sought and not be
tbs office. Indeed / have not consulted him
a successful merchant aud an expert ac-
countant, and this latter few In the Office
have been. Moreover, from an intimate ac-
quaintance with him | am prepared TO say
