Los Angeles herald., 1892-09-07

owned Queen of Table
not have subscription paper in his
hand, nor did he solicit any contribu-
tions from either the candidates or the
delegates for any purpose whatever. A
story put in circulation by one of Sam 8
enemies was to the effect that he was
raising a fund to hold ratification
meeting after the convention had COM
pleted it's work. This Sam denied as q
base canard started by some one who
desired to cast slur upon his Roman
character.
MR.. HAWKINS IN IT.
Mr.. G. W. Hawkins, a delegate from
the Sixth ward, was early to arrive at
Turnverein hall in the afternoon. Mr..
Hawkins weighs trif1e like 300 pounds,
and is a gentleman OF color. He has a
voice like base horn, and he can use it
as easily as boy can grind hand or
gan. All you have to do is to touch the
button and Mr.. HAWKINS will do the
rest. Mr.. Hawkins is bound to be a
prominent factor in the convention.
MR.. KNOX KNOCKS HIMSELF.
George w. Knox had not recovered
from the mastery manner in which the
convention sat upon him at the morn
ing session, and did not get in until after
2 O'Clock. Mr.. Knox'a remarks, in
which he reviled the enemy who had
surrendered in the Seventh ward to the
victorious hosts of the Buddinger-
observation-disclosures faction, were not
| greeted with any loud acclaim during
the noon intermission. The concensus
of opinion among the delegates was
that, in saying what he did, Mr.. Knox
had acted the part of an undeeired man,
They did not seem to think that it was
the right and proper thing to Jump on a
man, or set of men, when he or they
were down.
STATESMAN sTANToN's LABoRs.
Statesman Stanton, jr., of the Third
ward, put in the noon hour very profit
ably. He was engaged in diligently
| laboring to secure the denomination of
his father, that eminent jurist, L. STAN
ton, for township justice. Statesman
Stanton is hustler, and he certainly
did not let any moments pass idly by.
THE FEDERAL BRIGADE.
Editor Osborn, the collector of the
port, is not delegate to this conven-
ton. The boys in the Fourth ward left
him off the ticket. Nevertheless he was
on the convention floor from p. m. on,
In common with the other members of
| the federal brigade, Editor Osborne is
more particularly interested in the leg
! islative nominations. Should Mr.. De-
Young secure majority of the legis-
lative nominees favorable to his candi-
dacy for United States senator, it would
| very much fatigue the federal brigade
| aforesaid, 80 ably commanded by Maj.
George E. Gard.
THEY WE'RE THERE IN FORCE.
At 2 O'Clock the roll of county officers
and their deputies, who are conducting
the $12 per minute government on
court house hill, could have been called
in Turnverein hall, and four-ffths ma
jority of them would have answered
to their names. In the galleries the
common people-those who are not fa-
vored of the ring and who do not belong
to the Union League-were present in
great numbers. They were there so
numerously that the galleries presented
veritable sea Oh human faces. The fat
man and the lean man were both there.
The atmosphere was sitting. The lean
man looked sympathizingly at his fat
brother, who mopped the perspiration
from his brow and compared the intense
heat of Satan's domain with that of
Turnverein hall. Many 200 pound
voter drew off his coat and vest and
tried to comfort himself with the evolu-
tions of fan, but his success was only
nominal.
DEPUTIES HELPING THEIR BOSS.
District Attorney McLachlan had his
entire force of deputies out, laboring
valiantly to secure the denomination of
the chief. They, too, came early to Turn
verein hall to assist the leaders of the
ring in securing the denomination of Mr..
McLachlan. The last thing that the
court house ring wants to see is any
change in the head of the district attor-
ney's office for two years, anyway.
MAYOR HAZARD GLoRIFIEs.
Mayor Hazard dropped in about 2
o'clock to glory in the defeat of the
Seventh ward crowd, who had so mer-
cilessly put the harpoon into his con-
gressional aspirations at the primary
election held in July. He was very
much gratifed at the election OF Mr..
Murphey as chairman.
Mr.. ARNOLD FIGURES.
George Arnold got on the floor early,
and proceeded forthwith to put in some
strong kicks for his favorite candidates.
Mr.. Arnold's influence in the conven-
ton and it's proceedings, will unques-
tionably be felt. He is regarded aH one
Of the greatest hustlers in the party in
this county. He is more particularly
interested in the fight for the treasurer
ship.
AGAIN CALLED TO ORDER.
The clock marked 2:30 and Chairman
Murphey had not called the convention
to order. The crowd got impatient and
yelled for him. Finally, at 2:45, he
raped for order. It took about five
minutes to get it. At last it was OBJ
tanned.
The chairman then announced that
he had prepared the list of committees,
under some difficulties. He hoped that
the list be had prepared would prove
satisfactory. They were then read, as
| follows:
| THE EANT-AT-ARMS.
| Col. John T. Brooker moved that the
convention proceed to elect three SER
! geants-at-arms.
s. A. Garrett nominated Sam Adams.
