city convention to order in Music hall,
as chairman OF the central committee.
There were good many new faces
amongst the delegates. but the old war
horses OF the g. o. p. were there as usual.
Some OF the technical members of the
convention discovered mares nest after
the preliminary organization had been
nearly completed, and 1t resulted in a
novel proceeding. A bar had been
opened in room at the rear of the hall,
and the convention became very much
frightened when attention was called to
the matter.
An adjournment was taken and the
refreshment adjunct was shut up. The
convention then reassembled and did its
work all over again. The preliminary
work was put through in hurry, chow
ing that the programme had been cut
and dried. No especial significance was
attached to the election of temporary
chairman, Charles E. Day receiving the
nomination by reclamation, upon the
motion OF 7. W. Brotherton, who was
the only one placed in nomination
against him. The raising OF the usual
committees was removed from the chair
mans hands at his suggestion, and the
wards named their bers for the diff
ferent committees.
THE PROCEEDINGS.
The convention was called to order by
Walter s. Moore, chairman of the city
central committee, and Secretary Fran
els Thomas read the call and list OF DEL
egates aa certified by the primary Of
fcers.
Chairman Moore then said that the
party had done all in it's power to give a
clean primary election, and no protests
had been filed with the committee. He
said that the convention had met for
business, and it was necessary to put
up etrong ticket.
0. I. Johneon nominated I. w.
Brotherion for chairman. j. w. Long
nominated Charles E. Day. Mr.. Broth
erton moved the nomination Of Mr..
Day be made unanimous, which pre-
vailed.
In taking the chair Mr.. Day said that
the skies are bright Tor the Republican
cause, and when the sun goes down on
Novembe 6;h it will be upon a sweep-
ing victory, beginning with the Empire
state and down to the ticket of Los An-
gees county. He referred to the growth
of the city, and said he believed there
was only one opinion in the convention,
that the city should own it's own water-
works. He urged the selection OF strong
men.

Afternoon Session.
The convention reassembled at l 80,
but when chairman Day raped with
his formidable cane, the committee on
credentials was not ready and Mr..
Variel announced that an interesting
contest was in progress before the COM
mittee. Calls for DR.. MacGowan, chair

ness, we're unavailing, and q committee
consisting OF Mr.. Garter and Walter s..
Moore as appointed to wait upon the
committee and see where they were at.
convention adjourned for half an
hour.
E. A. Meserve announced that the
committee on credentials had just begun
its work and bad string OF witnesses
mile long to examine, which was q
desdener on the roseate picture OF
harmony, painted in opening the con-
vention' by Walter 8. Moore.
EIGHTH WARD CONTEST.
The contest. rumors OF which oper-
ated as q wet blanket, as shown by the
faces of the delegates. was over the
Eighth ward delegation. The ticket
cnaperoned by G. J. Griffith at the pri-
maries in opposition to the ticket popu-
larly and irreverently designated as
Charley Webber's gang, was the bone
OF contention. Mr.. Griffith and his
crowd made very disagresable charges
OF fraud and illegal voting at the pri-
maries on the part of "de boys" and as
the primaries were held under the Porter
law. the charges assumed grave impor-
tance, conjuring up unpleasant visions
not only OF split in the ranks OF the
Eighth ward Republicans, but prosecu-
tion against the illegal voters, ii euch
were found. The credentials COMMITTEES
n held its meeting in the rooms of the
'SyQung Mems Republican club on Sec
pssstreet, behind closed doors, and the
Weddings were very lively. A large
g. OF witnesses wore examined,
Inv hat they saw at the primaries,
n5bitterness developed.
