THE HOT FIGHT ON.
Next came the hot fight OF the con.
vention-the nomination of candidate
for sheriff. The motion putting off the
selection of county committee until
today had been made in the interest OF

that job was being put up on him to
spring dark borse candd;:aaste for sheriff
In the person OF I. B. Hayes, Of Will
mington. 1t had become generally
known that Tom Hayes had consented
to allow his name to 60 before the cor.
ventlon, and this was what the Cline
men feared. So they concluded to pusb
matters to climax by getting vote at
once.
A motion to adjourn until this morn
ing at 10 o'clock was hooted at and
finally withdrawn.

HE RAISED MUss.
A. Young of San Pedro then arose and
stated that to his certain knowledge
two wears ago, 7. B. Hayes had stabbed
the Republican ticket and made a fight
on Martin Aguirre.
This created a sensation. W. T. Will
liams wanted to know if it was true. If
It was his name should be withdrawn
from before the convention.
Mr.. Roberts of Long Beach did not
think that it was fair to assail Mr..
Hayes's political character unless the
assailant had the proof in his hands.
Mr.. Hayes was asked to come forward
and vindicate himself.
L. b. Hayes came to the stage and
took the platform. He said that he
would like to hear what the charges
made against him were.
Mr.. Young came forward and asked
Mr.. Hayes if he had not worked against
Martin Aguirre two years ago.
Mr.. Hayes denied that he had
worked against the Republican ticket
either two years ago or at any other
time. He then claimed that the Ban.
nings were endeavoring to defeat him
and to knock him out. Mr.. HAYES said
that he wanted his name Withdrawn
from this fight, but that he would put
up his $5 just the same. He would
have no more to do with the dirty busi.
ness, and he would not wear Banning's
collar. That all he wanted was to gel
rid Of it all. This created another sen.
sation.
The candidates then came forward and
put up their $5 and pledged themselves
to the platform and the ticket. Mr.
Hayes again came forward and with.
drew his name. He said that be would
have nothing more to do with the con.
vention or with fight.
