THEIR TICKET COMPLETED,
The Windup Of the Republican
County Convention,
Ballot Box Stuffing in Supervisoral
Convention Causes Trouble.
Cant marion aud Col. Brooker Nearly
Come to BIows-Walter 8. Moore
for the eenate-Felton AS
semblymen Chosen.

The Republican county convention
has com pleted its labors and adjourned
sine die. Yesterday all of the district
nominations were made and were rati-
fed by the convention. The district
conventions were more exciting and the
contests were less easy of solution than
in the general convention. The general
opinion OF hundreds of leaders, now
that the whole thing is over, is that q
ticket remarkable for its weakness has
been placed in the field. 1t is con-
ceeded by the Republicans that good
portion of it, If not every man on the
ticket, will be defeated.
Yesterday there were numerous sur
prises, notably the defeat of Justices
Owens and Stanton in the city conven-
ton, the nomination of Bob Stewart,
the colored policeman, for constable-he
beat A. @. Vignes, of the electric rail
road the nomination of Walter s. Moore
for senator in the Thirty-seventh dis
trict on the first ballot, he running in a
field of five candidates and the defeat OF
Henry F.. Garter, for the assembly, in
the SEX enty-fifth district; the nomina-
ton of Jim Meredith for the assembly
in the Seventy-third district; the NOM
ination of W. w. Stockwell for super.
visor in the Fourth district.
OF the seven candidates for the legis-
lature nominated yesterday. five are
known to be FELTON, men. OF course for
awhile they will vote for Southern
California man for United States sena-
tor, in the event that the
legislature has a Republican ma
iority. But then every one
realizes that there is not the slightest
chance for Southern California Re-
publican to become the United States
senator this time. There are four Re-
publicans in the fight, all from in and
about San Francisco, and one of the
quartette will be elected if Repu blican
Legislature should be chosen. So the
question really is, what will the seven
Republican representatives do, should
any of them be elected, after the South
ern California candidate has been
knocked out, as he is certain to be in
the end. If they keep their pledges five
will 60 to FELTON,, and perhaps two 10
De Young.
The district conventions made
blunder in their nominations for super
visors that will be very much to the ad-
vantage of the Democrats. The country
has always been conceded and always
had majority of the board Of super
visors. This year there are two hold
overs. Forester from the city and
Cook from the country. Now the Re.
publicans have nominated Francisco
and Stockwell from the city, and il
they are elected the city will have three
members of the board, while the vast
outside country will have to struggle
along with two. Francieco's district
10 all in the city, and the nominee Of
the Democrats will necessarily have to
be q city man. But the Fifth
(Stockwell's) district, comprises the
country clear up to the Kern
county line, and it seems
that the Democracy can find some COM
petent man in that vast stretch of ter
ritory, and the nomination of such man
means his triumphant election. The
people Of this vast county, irrespective
Of politics, are not prepared to see their
affairs conducted by q majority of the
board consisting of one speculator, one
real estate agent and one grocery keeper,
all living under the shadow of the coun-
ty court house, and within the half mile
circle. This short-siehted policy on the
part of the Republicans will be rectiied
