DE YOUNG LOST MS FIGHT.
Spence Elected Chairman of the Dele
cation.

Spence Elected Chairman of the Dele
cation.
The delegates TO the national Republican
convention az Minneapolis met in executive
session at the Palace Hotel yesterday after
noon and formed permanent organization.
The principal work accomplished was the
knocking out of De Young, who has been
persistently seeking the Craftsmanship and
who has Disguised all the delegates with
his constant importuniug for their support.
Ever since the Stockton convention he has
followed them up with all sorts of threats
and applications, but they steadfastly
turned deaf ear to him and the majority
Of them had the courage to tell him that
they were opposed TO him. A week ago 1T
was apparent that he had not even The ghost
of a show, but lie clung to his fight until the
delegation was compelled TO tell him openly
that he was not acceptable.
II was only yesterday that De 7 Dung con-
cluded to accept the inevitable, and seeing
at last that certain defeat stared him in the
face lie withdrew from the fight. 1t was
evident however, that be was angry, and
while he strove to accept the situation with
good grace he looked disconnected and i'll
humOred.
When the delegation met f. F. SPENCE of
Los Angeles was chosen chairman without
opposition, and 2. Y Baker, delegate from
the. Seventh District, was selected to act as
SECRETARY. De Cola Of Alameda, who was
secretary of the last delegation, was an
asprant again, but the delegates saw fit TO
choose one of their own number.
Two candidates, George G. Dryden and
James j. Moloney. were presented for the
place of seTgeant-at-aT and the former
carried off the prize. He is a cOpyist in the
Office Of Recorder Reed and is a native son.
He is highly esteemed by those who know
him. and his selection is well received in
spite Of the fact that he is 3 henchman Of
Martin Kelly, to whom he owes his place in
the City Hall.
The question of transportation was then
taken up, and long discussion ensued as
to the relative merits OF the various lines.
The chief competitors were the Union
Pacific and the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy. An informal vote was taken in
favor Of the latter and Delegates Cole,
DennisOn and Ridder we're named as a COM
mittee on transportation. They will prob
ably arrange for q special train from San
francisco TO Minneapolis.
The delegation will leave this city on the
31st inst, and expect to arrive In Mime
apolis on the evening of June 4.
The question of the choice of a national
committeeman was not taken up yesterday,
and It is probable that no decision will be
reached until the delegation has gone East.
De Young is in the fight as usual, but it is
not believed that he will be selected.
Spence of Los Angeles seems to be favored
above all others thus far con sidered,

was postponed until after the State conven-
tion, and the chair accordingly appointed
s. III. Daniels to act in the meantime. 1t is
rumored that this action was taken because
of a plan now on foot TO dispiace Mr..
Watkins and elect Barry Baldwin in his
stead.
After the transaction of some little
routine business the secretary read a pro-
test signed by William Fitzgerald and others
against the seating of Gavin McNab and
others who were elected in the Forty-fifth
District Wednesday as members of the
general committee.
The complaint set forth numerous charges
Of fraud In the conduct OF the election and
asked that the result be set aside.
Andrew j. Ciunie moved that it be re-
ferred to a committee OF three on grievan-
ces to be named by the chair, and that in
the meantime the places be left vacant. A
hot discussion ensued which ended in
Robert Haight moving as substitute that
the protest be oyerruled. This was carried
By vote of 81 to 10 and the committee adj
j0urned.

be made to convict prominent mine-owners

tanned by perjury. Both sides are deter
mined, and il IS very improbable that the
trouble Will be amicably adjusted.
