Los Angeles herald., 1892-08-06

convened at Turnverein hall. Over SOC
delegates will sit in the convention.
Every precinct in the county will be
represented except ten. There never
was held in this county, perhaps, a con-
vention in which as little cut and dried
work will be put through, as in the
gathering today. None of the delegates
are instructed for candidate or for
anyshing else. They are all untrameled,
and can do exactly as they please. No
boss has declared who will be chairman
of the convention, nor has clique de-
cided who shall be the nominees for
this or that Office. No slate has been
made up, nor have the committees been
fixed.
General Weaver and Mrs. Lease will
arrive from the north at III 80 q. M,
over the Southern Pacific. They will
be met at the depot by committee and
escorted to Turnverein hall. In the
afternoon they will be given reception
at Turnverein hall, and in the evening
they will speak at Hazards pavilion.
Hon. Marion Cannon, the candidate
for congress, will be here this morning
and participate in the convention. The
rank and file of the Peoples party wor-
ship Mr.. Cannon, and the delegates will
be largely guided by his advice in max
ing any combination against the COM
mon enemy of all lovers of good govern
ment--the Republican party.
1t is understood that the temporary
chairman of the convention will be the
representative OF some labor union,
while the permanent chairman will be
an agriculturalist. In this way both the
metropolitan and the rural elements of
the party will be recognized. The COM
mittee on resolutions will report some
very strong declarations, it is believed.
The present extravagant county officials
will be handled without gloves. Pink
ertonism will be denounced.
In the evening there is to be torch
light procession. The pavilion will not
be thrown open until the head of the
procession reaches the doors. In the
event it becomes necessary, an over
flow meeting will be addressed by Mrs.
Lease, one of the most talented women
who ever took the stump in the interest
of political party.
MR.. PoPPER DUE HERE TODAY.
Hon. Max Pepper, chairman of the
Democratic state central committee,
will arrive in the city from San Fran
cisco this morning, to hold conference
with Democratic leaders with regard to
the campaign in Southern California.
Mr.. Pepper is one OF the best political
organizers in the west, and is gentle
man to whose efforts many Democratic
victories in California have been due.
He is tireless, indefatigable worker,
keen, practical observer, and a good
Judge of human nature. The members
of the Democratic state central commit
tee made no mistake when they chose
him for chairman.
The object of Mr.. Peppers visit is to
ascertain whether or not it is advisable
to open branch headquarters in this
city for the state committee, the idea
being to handle the campaign, as faI as
this end of the state is concerned, from
Los Angeles. The Democratic leaders
here all view the proposition with high
favor.
The Democratic congressional conven-
tion for this district will be held at
Santa Barbara on the oath inst. This is
a change of date, but all the delegates
have been notified.
The Democratic county committee
yesterday took up the matter of having
the superior judges who are not out OF
the city hold night sessions Monday and
Tuesday evenings, for naturalization
purposes. A committee of three was
appointed to wait ON the judges and
lay before them the Importance of hold
ing sessions on the two nights named.
The committee comprised Judge Bear
den, j. w. Mitchell and T. E. Gibbon.
The executive committee has been
ordered to fill all vacancies on the
Democratic county central committee.
Every precinct will be represented on
the committee in the future.
M. @. Haustaun, colored Democrat,
appeared before the Democratic county
central committee yesterday and made a
few succinct remarks, showing pla My
why the colored men of Los Angeles coun-
tyweregoing to vote the Democratict ii, ket
this year. He said the Republican bosses
had completely ignored the negro in
Southern California. He claimed that
there were 400 negro voters in this
county who would cast their ballots for
Cleveland and Stevenson in November.
