The morning call., 1892-05-04

men took it very much to heart and talked
bitterly OF the outlook. but in a short time
they reganed their spirits and went about
eOngratulating their successful opponents
CrImmins' followers went about with long
faces and seemed not to be in it at all. They
were Ignored, in fact, and no one seemed to
know that they were in town. Burns, on
the contrary, was the center Of attraction,
and his name was in everybody's mouth. 1t
was conceded that he had made a remark
able fight and had won a clean victory.
About noon the Los Angeles delegation
met and patched up their differences.
Northam, who came up last night with
Otis, came TO a realizing sense Of tie fact
that he could not win and made oVertures
for a compromise. A long Wrangle ensued,
and it was finally agreed to vote as a unit
In the convention for Spence. It was also
agreed to 90 back to Los Angeles and work
for NOrtham as a candidate for electoral
large This ended the dispute and made
Spence the practically unanimous choice of
Southern California.
On the noon train De Young arrived, with
George Heazelton, and began to work on his
Own fight. He had intended to stay in San
Francisco, but he was being pressed so
hard that defeat seemed 70 be staring him
in the face, aud Stone wired him tC come
and help out 1t is needless to say that no
brass baud met him at the depot, and that
no one seemed to give him the least atten-
tiOn. He wandered about like a man who
had scarcity Of friends, and he looked
angry and weary
1t was about 2 o'clock when Chairman
Stump OF the State Central Committee
called the convention to order. Nearly all
the chairs provided for delegates were Oc-
cupied, and the galleries were crowded.
Each county was Indicated by a silk band
with the name inscribed. On calling the
convention to order Mr.. Stump said:
