RUEFs MOTIVES.
| Meyer Jacobs moved that the resolution
| be submitted TO committee of five MEM
| bers, to be appointed by the chair. A Although
/ lie strongly favored the motion he
/ did not wish them to act too hast
| ily in so important matter. Ruef
was questioned as 10 his motives, declared
! them nblased, and simply devoted 10 clean
Republican politics. He said that the idea
| of the resolution originated with Senator
| MahOney, but that gentleman denied the
| allegation and spoke forcibly in opposition
| thereto.
Il am firmly opposed to any increase in
| our number, said Mahoney; I'VE have lost
! two Assembly districts and now stand only
eighteen in number. Why not submit
| the question TO tie primaries and let
1t 20 TO the districts and the
/ people, and not let such question be de-
cided by any one-man power. 1 will never
vote for Mr. Ruef's twenty-five names 1t
won't work. 1t Is too One-sided, and is not
what L call fair 'digge.' On such
a proposition as this" he continued.
| the minority should be represented as
| well as the majority. and if any OF you have
| read the series OF admirable leaders in the
| Bulletin you will know how that paper has
| advocated and shaped an independent move
| ment such as is wanted, and wan ed badly
| by the taxpayers of San Francisco"
Dyer, Lewis, PestOleSi and Nicholson
| supported the resolution, and John T. Null
! I'm denounced it In emphatic ana demon
] stratlve tones, and created great sensation
| by shouting in an excited manner: Il tell
| you what, II this resolution be carried right
| now. then the minority will not remain an
other Instant In the committee. but walk
| right out"
Ruef was at once to his feet with "Then
If any man In this committee makes such a
| statement, and means If. the sooner he gets
out of 1t the better" He defended his res
OluilOn In able style, and TO show his good
feeling offered to withdraw the same IL any
! other member could substitute one 10 take
| lis IIace satisfactorily. After some further
! discussion the resolution was carried.
MAHoNEY's RESOLUTION.
Mahoney then offered the following reso-
| luIon ana moved its adoption:
Resolred, That IL The coming primary eIee-
ilon called by order Of the Sta,e Central Commit
! tee The delegates f. ON the city and county of
| San Francisco shall he elected 10 the State con-
VentoD 10y Assembly districts as defined In the act
| OF The Legislature OF California entitled An
| act 10 divide the slate into legislative districts
a. required by section g. article " of The con siI
! tuition. and 10 provide tor the election OF Sena-
| tols and Assemblymen in such districts" ap-
proved March IL. 1891. aud that there shall be
| TWO polling places IN each Assembly district.
ReSotred That at all primary elections held
! under the supervision OF this County COMMITTEES
the names OF the judges, inspectors aud clerks
NJ each boiling place shall be designated 6y this
| County Committee, provided that any ten county
committeeman OF this County Committee repre-
sentinC aGy class side or faction In this County
Committee may demand Ia writing and shall be
accorded by this County Committee an equal
REPRESENTATION within each polling place with
any other class, side faction OF. this County
| Committee.
CONNECTION.
An Immediate commotion ensued, aud
Ruef arose with every indication of ner-
yousness in his manner to say that he was
opposed 10 the resolution as read because
he did not think it consistent with the dig
nifty OF the Republican County Committee
to spread upon It's minutes the fact that
there were factions in the ranks of the
party. He had heard a great deal Of bosses,
but so far as he was personally concerned
he was controlled by 10 man or set Of men.
lie was in favor of harmony and should
always cast his vote TO that end.
Mah0nev, in support OF his resolution,
said that IL the talk about harmony which
had been INDUCED in was meant in good
faith he saw no reason why the request for
representation should not be granted at once.
McLauehln. who sat by Martin Kelly,
| moved TO lay the matter on the table.
The motion was lost by a vote of - 10 I6,
and Plstolesi followed by moving to post
pone action for one week. This was agreed
TO.
For an instant a hush fell upon the room,
and Kelly smiled sarcastically. Supervisor
y. }. Coffey looked over at CTimmins and
laughed.
THE CLIMAX.
Then came tue climax. Mahoney. who
! had remained seated during the rollcall
struggled tn his feet and said with a pereep-
Iibe tremOr of anger in his voice: Mr..
President, / wish TO state for the benefit Of
myself and those whom | represent that
the resolution was offered in good faith.
My desire is for harmony and if those op-
posed to US were acting in good faith they
have voted with us TO act now. As it is /
shall now withdraw from this body"
Mahoney coolly picked up his hat and
tanning 1t sayagely on his head strobe
gTmly cut
with you to the the lasti' la:fiis; Shout NOE t.
ed Mccormick, and he followed in
the direction of the door. Close upOn his
heels went lsaacs. Mnliin. Handley, Watson.
Bacgalupi, Israel. KoIgel, Ascher, Gerdes.
Moran, McManus. Higgins and Mills.
As they filed cut heliy's face was study
He attempted to smile, but his features
twitched neryOusly. He started To rise and
sunk back in his chair with look of blank
amazement OH his features.
Its too bad" he muttered, land should
never have occurred. 1t puts the party in a
bad hole"
HUGE JOKE.
PistoleSi, who seemed to regard it In tho
light OF huge joke. moved that the County
