SACRAMENTO, Jan. IT, Thut 'Our
Steve" will be chosen United States
senator in she joint convention OF the
legislature at noon tomorrow there 10
not the slightest doubt, and he and his
numerous lieutenants from the south
and his hundreds OF friends who have
flocked here from all over the state DUR
ing the past few days, are perfectly easy
tonight. In fact, they are just as confi-
dent as il the vote had been announced,
and he had been declared the unani-
nous choice of both houses. As pre-
dicted last night, White received -
votes in the assembly this morning.
BURKEs VOTE RECORDED.
When the name of Burkes non-parti-
san, of San Francisco, whose position
has hitherto been matter OF doubt
was called, hush fell over the assem-
bly, chamber and pin could have been
heard to drop in the crowded galleries;
but when in reply to his name he ut
tered the words Stephen M. White."
cheer upon cheer was given. and it was
in vain that the speaker raped fol
order, and even after he had succeeded
in quieting the excited audience. an
other outburst occurred, for the Demo-
Gratis realized that the fight had been
won. Burke's vote settled that, az
there had never been any doubt among
those on the inside about Kerns. Carl
son and Burke were doubtful. Burke
had been elected on the straight nom
partisan ticket, and all of his eurround-
ings were Republican, and it was we'll
known that ell Of the influence Of Dan
Burns had been brought to bear to get
him to vote against White, and up to
the time when he cast his vote very
few knew where it would go.
cARLsoN's LOST OPPORTUNITY.
Carlson was in different position.
He had been elected as an Independent &
and was entirely untrammeled. He
came from the same section as White,
who was the choice OF 80 per cent Of bis
constituents, regardless of party, and
naturally should have cast his lot with
the man from the south, but he missed
the chance OF his life and foolishly threw
away his opportunity, and surprised
everybody by nominating one Reed Of
San Diego and casting his vote for him.
His erratic course is the talk of the town
tonight, and has angered and disgusted
the Democrats to such an extent thet
he has impaired his usefulness to his
constituents on legislation affecting his
district and for the balance OF the SOS
sion he will cut sorry figure.
KERNs WILL VOTE FOR WHITE.
Carlaon's friends announce tonight
that tomorrow he will vote for White,
but the announcement has been re-
ceived by Whites friends with a calm.
ness that would be surprising, if it were
not for the fact that they are sure
Kerns will vote for the Los Angeles
man on the first ballot in the morning.
The socialistic wing of the People's
party have resorted to all sorts of wild
threats against Cannon and Kerns, but
the latter has been cheered by the tele-
grams, petitions and letters received
from the genuine Populists-the farmers,
mechanics and laborers of the state. in
favor of White.
PENDLEToN MAKES A HIT.
Young Pendleton of Los Angeles made
one OF the best nominating speeches Of
the assembly in placing R. NJ. Widney in
nomination, and was roundly cheered.
even ny the Democrats. He spoke elc-
quently for over Is minutes and made :
decided hit.
DE YoUNG's MAsTERLY RETREAT.
Whatever crlticisms may be indu1ged
in regarding DeYoung's management Of
his campaign, it must be admitted that
he has made mssterly retreat. By
Withholding his own name he has left
his numerical strength matter of con-
lecture, and has made some solid friends
in different sections of the state among
the strong men of his party by instruct-
ing his followers to give them the
empty honor of complimentary vote.
Perkins ran ahead of FELTON,, the
former receiving IA votes and the latter .
Is, and it is said that tomorrow FELTON,
will receive even less.
GET YOUR GUNS READY.
White will be nominated in joint
convention by Senator Goucher o.
