Mayor.

Mayor.
When the old Buckley crowd met at
irving Hall last night to continue their con-
vention there were 246 delegates Ia their
seats, and the galleries were packed.
1t was the same old gang that the old boss
led for so many years and who controlled
the city government for term after term.
There were also a number of Kelly's
choicest heeers and they looked on with
apparent interest.
Kelly was not there in person but it was
evident that he was In spirit.
The committee on permanent organization
recommended that the temporary officers be
made permanent.
j. n. Long, who carried Buckley's vaise
in years gone by, placed the name OF Will
liam McMann before the convention Tor the
office of Mayor.
The cheers which followed showed the
popularity of Mr.. McMann, and IL became
evident at once that be Was the popular
favorite.
Horace J. Jackson followed by present
ing DR.. G. w. Leek's name as candidate.
Clarence Gray seconded the nomination
of DIR. Leek.
Thomas DonnelIy, amid some applause,
took the platform TO name man who
would. in his opinion, beat all the Nc
Manuses in the city. not excepting the King
OF the IotieiO. ho uaueu liz " "
O'Donnel.
DIR. Leek withdrew his name 10 favor of
William McMann.
There were more cheers aud then Nc
Mann spoke briefly, charging that the
Democrats of SaE Francisco had been de-
frauded Of their rights.
He hoped TO be heard more fully later on
In the campaign.
DIR. 0Donnell also declined and McMann
was nominated by reclamation.
Nominations Dor Supervisors were de-
clared In order, and the following were
Ward, j. b. Garland; Fifth Ward, Sands
w. Forman; Seventh Ward, Louis Gar
nett; Eighth Ward, Eugene Baird Tenth
Ward. Henry Bornemann.
The only contest was in the Tenth Ward.
where three names were presented. They
were those of w. j. ID. Null, John Borne
mann and Francis Shirley, the latter being
the Non Partisan candidate. A lively dis
cussion spraDg up and some very sharp per-
sonalities were INDUCED in.
7. j. Corbett spoke for Shirley, saying
that he was the only one of the three who
could be elected.
"The Others" said he, "are mere dunn
mics. put up for purpose, and tile only
thing to do ID to nominate Shirley. Ii this
convention can find any good Democrat who
already has II. 900 or IL, 600 votes at his back
he Is the man 10 pick out if we hope to
win"
}. II. Long iabbed his hands into the
pockets of his lavender pantaloons as he
arose to say that he did not think person
alities should be INDUCED in. 1t was de-
plorable in a Democrat and should not be
allowed by the chairman.
Long" John Wilkins dropped ia at this
time on his way home from 16 Third street
to say that he favored the nomination of
Shirley. This probably caused the latter's
defeat.
The first rollcall gave Bornemann 1872,
Shirley 1913 and Null 81.
Great confusion ensued, and It was sew
eral minutes before the chair could an
nounce that no choice had been secured
A second rolcall was found necessary.
While the secretaries were preparing for
the rollcall. Horace Jackson, who sat imme-
dia,ely behind Long" John Wilkins. arose
to make suggestion.
II recognize Mr. Jackson" shouted the
chair.
''My name is not Jackson-I want You to
understand that am not Peter Jackson"
yelled wilkins, wildly excited.
Then roar of laughter went up and VIII
kins retired In confusion.
The second rolcall showed 1876 votes for
Bornemann, III for Shirley and 2 for Null.
Bornemann was declared the nominee, and
the convention adjourned till this evening.
