The following State ticket was nomi-
mated:
Secretary of State, W. A. Taylor.
Supreme Judge, long term, John P.

Supreme Judge, short term, Thomas Beer.
Clerk Of Supreme Court. w. IL Wolfe.
The platform declares in favor Of tariff
for revenue only; denounces the Mckinley
law; declares that the nigh tariffs imposed
by certain European nations on American
grain and meat were done in retaliation for
our high tariff, and demands the immediate
modification of the tariff by Congress in
order TO secure the free admission or our
agricultural products abroad.
The silver plank is as follows:
The Democratic party has always favored the
use Of both gold aud silver as money, and fe-
stored 10 the people the silver dollar OF our
fathers, Which a Republican Congress demon
etiZed tn 1873. Tie Sherman act OF 1890 Is de.

Special to THE MORNING CALL

STOCKTON, June ia surprise was given
the business public this afternoon when il
was announced that the stockholders of the
Farmers Union and Milling Company had
made change in the directory, and that
j. L. Beecher had not been reelected presi-
dent. He was succeeded by w. B. Harri-
son, who had been secretary Of the corpo-
ration for many years. Mr.. Beecher remains
director.
1t is generally believed that the change
was made owing to the dissatisfaction exist
ing because Mr.. Beecher is interested in the
opposition steamboat company and the
stockholders in the new mill do not want to
fight the Crown and Sperry mills and the
Navigation Company. Mr.. Beeeher's
friends say he retired voluntarily. as be
wanted to take life easier. There Is good
feeling over the change among stock
holders of the old steamboat company,
AID If Mr.. Beecher retired from the man
agement voluntarily he pleased the Naviga-
tiOn Company managers immensely. Efforts
will now be made to secure the freight Of
the new mill and it is said the Navigation
Company will buy controlling interest in
the milling company if necessary to win

CHICAGO, June 15.-The Palmer boom
seems to have got lost in the woods. Il
wandered away several days ago and has
not been heard of since. II never did
amount to very much at best, and its dis
appearance has excited but little comment
There was a quiet whisper to-day that
Colonel BIZ Morrison of horizontal tariff
fame mad led the Palmer boom astray, but
Colonel BilPs friends say that theTeI was
never enough of il to lead, and that they had
paid no attention TO ii. The fact is, to all
appearances, that if Illinois decides to pre-
sent candidate, his name will be Morrison,
and he halls from Belleville, where his
friends call him Uncle Bill" Governor
Boies of Iowa, who bears the burden Of
being a friend OF John P. Irish, has already
thrown cut bis skiTmish line. Like David
B. Hill, he is a Democrat and is proud Of it.
He has been one for about ten years, and
became such by deseTting the Republican
party because be was not in favor OF pro-
hibiIiOn. Among the most enthusiastic Of
the howlers for Boies is Edward Campbell
delegate-at-large from Iowa. and former
postmaster at Des Moines under the rule Of
Cleveland.
1--WE are for Boies." said he, because we
think he can carry more doubtful States
than any other Democrat"
why, | tell you what il Is" said Mr..
Campbell to-day, mir. Boies can carry the
State Of Iowa and the entire Northwest.
There is no doubt about it. He has way
about him that wins the hearts of all who
meet him. Hundreds of Republicans will
vete for him and he can be elected We are
confident that be viii be nominated. 1t may
not be before the seventh or eighth ballot,
but It is bound to come. Iowa and South
Dakota are solid for him; Nebraska. Kan
sas, Minnesota and Wisconsin viii throw a
great amount Of their strength to Boies. We
expect to get few votes from the East, and,
all told, Boies will get at least 100 votes on
the first ballot. This. we believe, VIII show
to the other delegates his strength and he
will gradually gain more. and by the time
the seventh ballot is reached Boies Will go
In with howl.
I'VE are now issuing circulars and letters
setting forth the strength OF our man, and
We will not only have the convention
hall knee deep with Boies literature, but
also with BOles votes"
Here Mr.. Campbell showed a large cir
cular with an excellent cut Of the Iowa
favorite in the center, and around it such
notices as vote for Boies," "Boies Is the
Strongest Of Them AL" Remember What
Boles Did in Iowa." Upon opening tile
circular one finds complete history Of Mr..
BoIes aud his works. printed in bold type,
so that even be who runs may read.
ave are expecting some more Of our
people today" continued Mr.. Campbell, as
he laid down the pamphlet and passed the
cigars among those in the room. "and by

The Missouri Senator Believes That
Cleveland Cannot Garry New York.
CHICAGO. June ia rumor was current
late this afternoon that Senator Vest Of
Missouri had abandoned the Cleveland
forces, to which, it is understood. he had
belonged. Vest was seen by an Associated
Press reporter this evening just before he
took the train for the East. and when asked
to define his position said: Il am a Demo
cTat, and want 10 see my party nominate
Democrat who can be. elected. | am ap-
pIehensive that Cleveland cannot carry the
State of New York. This unfortunate
fight OF our party In that State makes me
fear We will lose it unless we co outside of
that State for a candidate. l speak now
because l think that the time has
come when the Democratic party have
the right to ask an expression Of opinion
from every Democrat. Ny feeling toward
Cleveland has never changed, and l re-
gard him now with the same respect, conf
dence and friendship that l have ever felt
but doubt his power to carry his State"
Vest said the people Of Missouri wanted
Cleveland nominated, and the delegation
would vote solidly for him in Tie convention.

NO EXTRA SESSION.
Governor Markham Will Not Call the Leg.
iSlature Together.

SACRAMENTO, June 15.-GOvernOr Mark
ham has received a formidable petition ask
ing that a special session of the Legislature
be convened as soon as possible. The petit
tion is signed by nearly all the county Off
GERS OF Kern, Los Angeles, San Diego,
Orange, San Bernardino, Santa Barbara,
San Luis Obispo. Monterey. Santa Cruz.
San Bento, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Con-
ira Costa, Alameda, Sacramento, Butte, Te-
hama, Shasta, Glenn, FL Dorado, Siskiyou.
COluss, 1olO, Solano, Napa, Fresno and IT,
lare counties.
The petition says: "Under the decision
Of the Supreme Court we are prohibited
from appointing deputies to be paid out Of
the county treasury of the several counties
which are absolutely necessary to the proper
discharge OF the duties of our respective
Offices. The business Of the offices has
greatly increased since petitioners took
Office, and salaries paid are insufficient to
pay incumbents an actual living if they are
required to pay tile salaries of such depu-
ties as are necessary and absolutely required
for the transaction Of public business. The
public business is accommodating. so that it
is utterly impossible TO dispatch ii without
the aid and assistance of deputies, and pub
lie business in some counties will virtually
cease to be transacted"
Notwithstanding this appeal the Gov
ernOr will not hasten to convene the Legis-
la ture. He does not believe that the result
would justify the expenditure Of 100000,
which would probably be about the cost of
an extra session, however brief. In the
next instance the Governor does not under
stand how immediate relief could be afford
ed in the matter, as, under the law, the
ineumbents could not be benefited, as their
salaries cannot be raised or lowered while
they hold office.
1t may be stated In this connection that
petition favoring an extra session was ped
died about from county to county by a cum
ming drummer for a stationery house, long
before the Supreme Court had rendered a
decision. He would secure a signature. ii
Is said, expressing sympathy for all con-
cerned, and then make an application for
an order for goods.
The decision of the Supreme Court Is
generally regarded as working a hardship
and as having been strained and far-fetched,
but ii appears that those affected will have
to look TO the Legislature Of the regular
gasSi0n for relief

nOred and the case against him also dis

of De Clarke when Hllie shot him, and
