| MR.. RYAN's APPEAL.
w. A. Ryan arose to a question OF
privilege, and there were loud cries for
him to take the platform. Mr.. Ryan
did 80 and made a telling speech in IA
vor of the adoption of the resolution.
He thought that it would be suicidal for
the convention to vote 1t down.
Major W. R. Burke and Homer O..
Katz also spoke in favor of the adoption
of the resolution. Both gentlemen used
practically the same argument that 1T
would be unwise and impolitic to vote
it down.
The chairman put the question and
the resolution was unan imously adopted.
FOR REVENUE ONLY.
The next order of business was the
collection OF an assessment on the dele
gates for the purpose of defraying the
expenses of convention. When this bu-
sness was completed nominations for
mayor were declared to be in order.
MR.. ROWAN NOMINATED.
Hon. Thomas B. Brown took the plat
form, and in neat speech named
Thomas E. Rowan.
Mr.. Brown in his nominating speech,
paid high compliment to all four of the
applicants for the nomination. He
thought though that many considera-
tions entered into the selection of .
ticket this year which were extraordi-
nary. Personal friendship should be
laid aside and the strongest man should
man should be named for the sufrages
of the people. Mr.. Brown reviewed the
public trusts Mr.. Rowan had held
during the past 20 years, and asserted
that he had discharged them all faith
fully and with credit to himself. He
was q Democrat in every sense OF the
term Mr.. Brown said. The closing
words of Mr.. Browns speech were:

Cleveland of Los Angeles, Thomas E.

The name of Mr.. Rowan was received
with great applause.
Homer @. Katz seconded the nomina-
tion of Thomas E. Rowan in a brief
speech.
MR.. WORKMAN NAMED.
H. w. Latham took the platform and
placed in nomination, in a very clever
speech, Hon. w. H. Workman. Mr..
Latham reviewed the public career of
Mr.. Workman, and challenged any one
to point to spot upon his private life.
He was man of thepeople-the people
knew him, and they but knew him to
love him. Mr.. Workman's name
was received with vigorous round of
applause.
E. Wineburgh came to the stage and
seconded the nomination of Mr.. Work.
man in a speech highly mplimentary
to bis favorite.
B Chandler seconded the nomination
of w. II. Workman as q Thoroughbred
Democrat"
CAPTAIN MACKAY EULoGIZED.
Richard Dunnigan placed in nomina-
ton Captain A. F. Mackay. He said
that his candidate was man who had
earned his money with bis plane and
his cav, and not by dealing in corpora
ton stock. He had no complications
and owned no stock in any corporation.
He was a working man and hard one.
He would, if nominated, unauestionably
be elected.
j. Marion Brooks arose and said that
he was willing to talk by the clock he

did not run. Mr.. Brooks seconded the
nomination of Captain Mackay.
DIR. BRYANr's STRENGTH.
DIR. Joseph Kurtz, in humorous and
telling speech, placed in nomination DR..
j. H. Bryant. DR.. Kurtz said that his

days, but he had been in Los Angeles
long enough to make a record for him
self. To that record the speaker re-
ferred in the highest terms.

He had about his neck the collar of no
corporation, and he challenged anyone
to prove to the contrary.

stage. He also was warmly received by
the delegates. When the applause had
subsidized Mr.. Workman commenced his
speech. He denied that he was identi-
fed with any corporation, and said that

with the people. He placed himself
equarely on record in favor of city
ownership of the water works. He

to the people of the city much cheaper
than it was now being supplied. In

would rather be mayor OF Los Angeles
than governor of the state of California.
