A SMALL SPLIT.
Max Pepper Accused of Misrepre-
Senting HiS Party.

A split in the Democratic ranks was de-
veloped at a meeting of the executive CON-
mittee Of the Democratic State Central
Committee held at the Baldwin Hotel last
night. The committee was called together
to confer with committee of five from
the general committee of the Democratic
party Of this city for the purpose of draft
ing a memorial to be addressed to the
President and Congress setting forth the
views and wishes of the Democratic party
in this State on pending Chinese leglsla-
tion.
The meet ing was executive, but enough
leaked out after adjournment to show tn at
there was decided difference OF opinion
as to the nature of the proposed memorial
A proposition was made TO appoint a
subcommittee of FIVE from the executive
committee TO assist the visiting committee
in drafting the proposed document. ms
was vigorously opposed by Andy Clunle
and others. who thought they saw In ii an
attempt on the part of Max Pepper 10
speak for the entire Democratic party
Mr.. Clunie held that the nominal
head of the party in this State would, II
allowed to dictate In the matter, attempt
to whitewssh the administration In its ac-
tion on the Geary act. Mr.. Clunie further
declared that Mr.. Pepper did not represent
the views of his party in this State on
Chinese legislation, and no good Democrat
should allow him QPopper) to place the
party in a false light before the world.
He proposed that the entire State
Central Committee should be called to-
gether for the purpose Of drafting the
proposed memorial and the result would
then be an expression of the views Of the
party and not of an individual. This was
com ba ted by McEnerney and others. and
for three hours the discussion was carried
on. When at last vote was taken il was
found that Clunie and his followers were
in hopeless minority. The contest has
only begun. however, and some interesting
developments may be expected before
President Cleveland receives the proposed
memorial. The following resolutions were
adopted by vote of 10 TO 4:
RESOLVED, That committee OF five from this
committee be appointed by the chairman to
draft memorial 10 be addressed to the Presi-
dent and Congress setting forth the views of
the pending and proposed legislation In Con-
gress; and in the preparation thereof the said
committee is directed 10 confer with the COM
mttee appointed by the general committee of
The Democratic party of the city and county
of San Francisco And be il further
Resolued, That the chairman request the
various county committees throughout the

formulated.

:: This bill was vigorously attacked by
Western members who denounced it as an
Infamous measure calculated to defeat the
very benefits that it professed to seek. Un-
i, der it they eontended that the broad dis
: cFetionary powers of the Secretary Of the
Interior would enable him to divest the
reservations of every stick of timber that

McCrea stoutly defended his bill. claim
: ing that he was inspired only by
a desire to protect the forests and
that the Western gentlemen were fighting
for the settlers and others, who were
rapidly diyesting the reservations of their
noble forest grpwths. Without action on
g.: the measure the morning hour expired. 1t
