THE CITY CONVENTION
ALL OF THE CANDIDATES SEEN
TO BE CONFIDENT.
The Situation AS 1t Appears on the Out
side-A Rousing Meeting at Will
mington-Seventh Ward
Delegates--Notes.

Tomorrow the Democratic city con
vention will be convened at Tuinverein
hall, and there are great many Demo
Gratis who desire positions on the Demo
cratic city ticket, who are on the anxious
seat.
Yesterday the result of Saturday e
primaries was very numerously dis
cussed from every street corner. Every
body was booming a favorite candidate
for this or for that Office, and insisting
that his favorite was sure to be NOM
/ mated.
The truth OF the matter is that no
one can tell anything about it. Matters
are decidedly mixed. The general con-
sensus of opinion is that the primaries
were fairly conducted, and upon this
score but few objections are made,
The friends of Hon. 7. E. Rowan
claim his nomination on the first bal
lot. They base their claims on figures
which they will show, in an endeavor to
convince people that they are right.
Mr.. Rowan's adherents are confident
that their favorite has cure thing.
On the other hand, the friends of ex-
| Mayor Workman are equally confident.
| They claim that the Boyle Heights citi-
zen is certain to be the choice of the
convention on the first ballot, but they
will not show you the exact figures
They claim 125 votes the first time the
convention expresses choice on the
mayoralty question.
The friends OF the other two candi-
dates-Dr. J. H. Bryant and A. w.
Mackay-are nor saying very much, nor
are they claiming anything. They are
| merely marshaling their forces and get
ting them into condition, 80 that in the
event of a adeadlock-and when the break
comes, if it ever should-they will be in
a position to profit. 1t is not denied
that DR.. Bryant and Captain Mackay
will have quite vote.
AS to the other Offices, there is per-
feet army of candidates. For city asses
sor, though, Refugio Bilderrain has no
opposition thus far, nor has Hen
~ Dock weller for the Office of
city engineer. For city clerk there
are several candidates, among them A
Orfila. For street superintendent there
is Mr.. Frick, Mr.. ]. F. Greenough and
| Crawford, Clarence Miller and T. F.Gib-
bon. For city auditor there is John
Shiek and @. E. ]. White. There are
also several candidates for city tax col
lector.
1t will be seen from the above that it
is practical impossibility to predict
who honors will fall to. One thing is
certain, that while it will be in every
way harmonious convention, it will
also be spirited one.

to his friends for mentioning his name

council, he would be forced to give the
Office all of his time.
