feathers OF many angry politicians from
Alameda. When w. II. Church was
nominated for Supervisor of the Third
District. consisting of the Fourth and
Sixth Wards in Oakland, and part Of Ala
media, all the Alameda delegates, eleven
Senatorial convention in another part of
the building. When they heard of
Church's nomination the Alamedans
were mad. They said that the OAK land
delegates had taken advantage of them
and talked of nominating rural candi-
date.
Thus it was that Mr.. Leydecker Of Ala
media yesterday made formal protest to
the nomination of Church. The COM
mittee, however, maintained that the
nomination was entirely legal inasmuch
as /! was made by thiriy-seyen delegates
out of forty-eighI. But to pacate the
angry AlamedanS IL was ordered that the
district convention Teassemb!e in Judge
GIFTS courtroom al 5 O'clock last evening.
Accordingly the conven lion assembled,
but the result was the same as the pro-
examiners made il in the first Instance and
Church was again nominated.

Editor Frank J. Moffitt of the Oakland
Times has already repaid Captain John
Hackett, defeated cauUidate for County

yesterday.
Last night at $50 o'clock. as Cartain
HAckett was telling lot of friends in
front of the Ath-nIan Club how he was
beaten in his fight against Jack Hays,
Eiitor Mofit came down Fourteenth
street. The Two men gIared at each other
for several moments, and then IA hit un-
cOrked the vial OF bis wrath and gave
HscSett an unpIintable tOngue-lashing.
The latter became demOnsiralive, where
upon Editor Nj Gift struck out for Hackett's
left eye ard landed on 1t with damaging
effect. Friends jumped in and separated
the belIlgerents before any further dam
age, and thus ended a friendship which
covered a span OF many long years
Editor Moffitt was seen in his office last
night aud made the following statement:
1T Is true that l rad disturbance with
Captain Hackett. Some days ago Captain
Hackett sought my support for himself. a.
Assessor OF this county. l told him that
could not supDnTt him for the reason that
| was for Mr.. Hays. He made a speech in
the convention to-day, wherein he b ackeued
me for beating him, attacking my business
and myself and saying that l essayed TO be
boss. While / am active in the Interests
Of my party, | am o boss, and | vas very
much incensed at Captain Hackett for his
uncalled for attack upon me in the con-
vention.
My friends also were very much in
censed and l am free to admit l was quite
angry. In passing through Fourteenth
street about half-past O'CLOCK | saw him
and / determined to denounce him pub
icly. | did this in unqualified terms and
u
bysiander. when L struck him with my
fist and blackened his eye. Friends in
terfered and | passed on about my bust
ness and Judge he did. That is ALL"

glorious for the one as 1t was inglOrious
for the other-23 to ), with the C0lun bias
Cd the short end.
Notwithstanding the score. however, the
game was productive of plenty of amuse-
meDt The heat of the Sln undoubtedly
initiated agaiDs. the attendance, there
being only about 200 spectators lined up in
two rows in the shadiest spot on the
grounds. 1t was not a cTitica assem- blage,
consisting mainly of the fairer sex, VINO

10 it.
The Hushes brought party from Fruit
