THE POPULIsTs TO HAVE THEIR
CITY CONVENTION TODAY.
Gossip About the Probable Result
Campaigners Return from the
North-News
Notes.

Opera House hall. Under the call for
the convention it will consist of three
delegates from each of the Al precincts
comprising the city. This would make
| a convention of about 135 delegates, but
it is not believed there will be over 100
delegates in the body.
A number OF we'll known local leaders
OF the party were interviewed yesterday
as to the probable action the delegates
to the convention would take. The
general opinion seemed to be that while
full ticket would be nominated it
would not be made up exclusively of
Peoples party men. The feeling seemed
to be in favor of selecting candidates
from each of the old parties
The names of HI. I. Hazard, G. M.
Wells, DIR. Bryant, Capt. A. T. Mackay,
Theo. Summerland, w. R. Ryan and
w. H. Workman will be presented for
mayor. It is absolutely impossible for
any one to predict what the action of
the convention will be with any consid-
erable degree of certainty.
MR.. LINDLRY RETURNS.
Hervey Lindley, the Republican nomi-
nee for congress in this district, arrived
from the north yesterday afternoon. He
was accompanied by Senator r. B. Car
penter, of San Francisco, who, in COM
pany with Mr.. Lindley, has been max
ing the Republican campaign in
the northern counties of the
Sixth district. Mr.. Lindley Is
in excellent health and spirits. Judge
Carpenter, though, is in very poor
health. He has been suffering from an
attack of vertigo and has been under
the weather for some time. He will re-
main here now until The close OF the
election.

MR.. CANNoN's ACCEPTANCE.
Mr.. Marion Cannon has sent in his
letter of acceptance of the Democratic
nomination for congress. He declares
himself strongly opposed to the force
bill, whice he declares was intended to
suppress the will of the people. In re-
lation to deep sea harbor for Los An
geles. and the Nicaragua canal he says !:
believe the government should con-
| struct deep water harbor for the city
of Los Angeles, which shall be equally
accessible and convenient to all rail-
roads which may desire to use it. Los
Angeles has worldwide reputation as
a great and wealthy city, and is the rec
ognized emporium of Southern Califor-
MIA. deep sea harbor would bring
the commerce of Asia much nearer than
San Francisco to the Atlantic sea-
however, is her proximity to
the proposed Nicaragua canal. The
most vivid Imagination can scarcely pic
ture the prosperity of your city and the
whole coast sure to arise from the con-
States government. A hostile press, in
fluenced by the railroad company, which
has hitherto controlled the politics of
this state, purposely misrepresents my
attitude toward that canal. No man is
more earnestly in favor of building that
canal and of carrying out liberal plan
of internal and coast improvements than
am. But believe the people of this
nation have voted their last subsidy, in
land, bonds or the loan of the public
credit, to build up private corporations,
who may control the great public high
ways of commerce and levy tribute upon
the nations of the earth for their private
benefit.
