Dimond to Retire.

1t Is altogether probable that Major. General
w. Ii. Dlmond will retire from the Oflie' OF
commander OF this division OF the National
Guard at the close of his present term OF app
polntment, which expires next January.
The general has sgnifed his intention Of
Withdrawing from further public duty in this
connection. and although he Is confident that a
reappointment will be offered him he will de-
cline the honor.
On the 10Th or January next the general W Ill
have served fifteen ars' continuous duty, and
Will therefore be entitled TO the medal given for
long service, the highest decoration conferred
In the National Guard.
His service as major general of the National
Guard OF California dates from September 81
1887, when he was appointed to the position
by Governor Waterman. although he had been
previously offered the rank by Governor Bart
lett.

The Election Commissioners Going
Slow i'm the Matter of Choosing
Election Officers.

The Election Commissioners made no ap-
polntments OF election officers yesterday after
noon, as it was expected they would do. A
great crowd was in attendance at the meeting,
each OF most of the individuals hoping to hear
themselves appointed.
D. mocratic lists were presented from the
Thirtieth and Thirty-iIst Districts and Mayor
Ebert presented a scattering list of Republi-
cans. but until the parties are accepted and
qualified they are not election officers.
Registrar Evans presented long list of his
own which he wanted the commission To ac-
cept, and the customary passage at arms be-
tween himself and The Mayor grew out of his
earnes' insistence. SAID the Registrar:
LAS Republican. and Republican official

that may cite these men to appear and be

showing in This regard and / assure you 1 am

The Registrar called attention to the brevity

Registrar.
"How do you mean-against what? ?" asked
the Mayor.
Against your lists"
what right have you TO make a protest?

The Auditor undertook TO further explain
the Misrepresentation under which the Regis

good deal of latitude in this matter; We feel
very friendly toward him, but these officers

The matter OF placing on the ballots the
question OF the city owning its own wafer
works was laid over until Xt Friday.

stairs leading to the upper hall, the ire of
the opposing forces was fully aroused. and
their determination to be heard gave rise
10 an additional strain on the pulmonary
organs, which proved quite effective to
their cause.
The spielers took care to remain on their
respective sides and thus out of reach.
They gradually drifted from the ordinary
announcement 10 expressions involving
the reliability or reverse of the candidates
on the opposing tickets, and accusations
OF all conceivable forms fell from their
IDS IN language which was far from fitting
to the occasion.
finaiiy. however, the proprietor of the
nall appeared and ordered the adherents
OF DR.. ODannell TO remain within their
nall, claiming that the entrance to the
lower room was from Stevenson street,
and that they had no right to spiel' on
the main stairway.

which was about to take a more serious

Smith touched upon other Incidents disclos-

result of unjust and discriminating laws,

The national banks and the gold standard
system came in for their share of con-
demnatiOn and the speaker closed by add
ing few suggestions in the way OF politi-
cal economy.
7. l.. Archibald, the candidate for
Sheriff, was next heard and added a few
practical suggestions in the matter of
municipal reform which be contended
were essential to the cause of pure politics.
The Cotton sisters rendered a number of
amusing campaign selections during the
evening, which were highly enjoyed by
those present.

we're better qualified for the Office than
was Fitzhugh. SIT is said that the City
surveyors have been making $4,000 a
year out of the Office. which is beyond all
reason, and should cease" he SAID. The
convention aprlauded warmly, and even
beyond the railing the applause was Wig
orouS enough to show that popular sentl-
ment is with Magee on this question. The
pledge was adopted.
The pane of j. II. Humphreys was with
draw.
J. II. Roche nominated Van der Naillen
1. j. Truman presented the name OF
Horace Gates.
Stating that IT as much as $4,000 year De
paid into the Surveyors Office it is the law
that needs mendlpg, but Nh Fitzhugh
should not be blamed for it. The recon-
mendations Mr.. FitZhugh had were SUM-
cient grounds for his nomination.
A secret ballot was then taken, with the
following result: Z. l.. Van der Nafilen

There being no choice the second oaliot
was ordered, with the following result:

only just. In his case he had kept

pointed by any committee outside of ITSELF
Its members have decided to have a meet
ing of the general body on Monday next to
discuss this matter OF organiza ton. Vice
quested to issue call, and the meeting
will be held in Metropolitan Temple.
Several methods of providing for new
general committee are being discussed.
One is to postpone the matter until after
the passage by the Legislature of the pro.
posed primary law. providing for the hold
Ing of primaries subject to the laws which
govern ge nerai elections. 1t is said thai
this law will certainly be passed next win
ter, and In that event a primary election
would be called for the election Of gen.
eral committee should this method be
adopted.
Another possible plan involves the
lessening Of the number of members of
the committee. Some Of the Democrats
who think a small body Is more easily con-
trolled by bosses than large ones and that
boss rule is to their own Interest favor
such reduction, but it Is not thought
likely that the present general committee,
when is anti-Buckley in com plexiop, will
consent to any cnrtailment of the numeri-
cal strength Of the body.
The convention has proved to the DEM
Ocrats that they will have to make their
fight against Buckley and Rainey over
again. 1t is not enough to run them out
Of the country. for they came. back. and
are just as highly esteemed by the majority
of Democrats as If they had never been
indicted. Those who are inimical to mem
believe that another and more determined
effort will have to be made to shut them
out OF politics, and the advisability of
once more applying to the Grand Jury is
being freely discussed.
Undoubtedly the bosses will attempt to
get control of the general committee, and
now that taey have shown that they can
rule any Democratic convention, even If
lis delegates are named by their enemies,
they are plnced In a commanding position
and their following increased.
There Is considerable discussion in DEM
0cratic circles as to whether the certifi-
Gates OF nominations Of Assembivmen and
Senators should be filed separately or
included in The blanket certificate which
will be filed by the officers of the Union
Hall convention and which will contain
oil the municipal nominations.
The State Central Committee insists that
Inasmuch as the nominations for Assem-
blymen and Senators originated in separ-
ate district conventioDs--the main ccnven-
ton merely raiiiying them-a strict COM
p'iance with the law requires that the GER.
tiicates should be flied separately. For
this purpose the State Central Committee
has notified the various candidates for the
Assembly and Senate, and the chairmen
and secretaries of the district conventions
which nominated them, to meet at the
committee-ro0ms. In the California Hotel,

who sat and talked over the glorious vic
tory of Joe King of the First Ward.
But the main gossip of the day was
over the typical denouement of the
Democratic convention at Union Hall
Tuesday night. Never since Denis
historic meeting-place has there been such
truly Democratic rumpus in this city.
And the beauty of it was that Rainey
carried his point. The Democrats must
now go before the people with their
RaiDey ticket. accumulated by final tri-
nmDh for the boss at the close of the con-
venti0n. The minority report on Super
visors was ntirely satisfactory to Rainey.
1t knocked out the three men on the ma
Jority report whom he did not want and
left the list just as he would have made 1t
If no committee had been appointed.
7. j. Thomas, the committees choice for
Supervisor in the Fourth Ward. was
turned down in favor of A. Hrsch. An
explanation of this action toward the
committee lies in the fact that MIR. Hirsch
is Ed Lannigan's brother-iu-law.
Major Harvey in the Twelfth was dis
placed 10 favor of Edward l.. Magner,
proprietor Of saloon on lower Kearny
street.
1t turns out that the plan to accomplis h
this had been laid in advance 10 all lis de-
tails. Members of the Deurrey committee
had openly stated that they would pass the
majority report whether the convention
voted for 1t or not. Chairman Deuprey
had on Two or more occa sions dec ded
questions afjrmatiyely after the convention
had voted no and had succeeded ia max
ing his ruling stand. He would try it
again, and his followers were indiscreet
enough to announce the fact. Rainey
thereupon prepared counter plot. His
district bosses were instructed to create
just such an uproar as tina, which took
place, then to seiZs the records and, if
necessary, k1oek Chairman Deuprey into
q cooked hat.
Then Peter Dunno would be made chair
man and the convention could pass its
minority report a. will. 1t did not quite
come to that jim Smith, who was maxim g
the fight for Frederick Hess, whose at
torney he is, was willing to sacrifice the
other men 10 order TO get his man through,
and he recommended that the minority re-
port be adopted at moment when Deu-
prey realized that he had taken too much
on his hands, and the motion was carried,
rendering the reinforcement of Deuprey
unnecessary.
Yesterday the Deuprev men were con-
soling themselves with the reflection that
in the matter Of the appointment of CON-
mittee 10 provide for a county organization
the other side had made q concession by
accepting the ruling Of the chair as to the
powers of the committee to be that it
should not die with The convention.

AFTER THE ROW.
Both Parties Pause for a
Breathing Spell.
Democrats to Meet Monday to Pro.
vide for a New General
Committee.

After two weeks OF exciting work the
Democratic and Republican politicians
paused yesterday and discussed the out
come of their conventions.
The Republicans derived little satisfac-
ton from review of their nominees, as
the ticket is, 10 the main, weak. The dele
gates who blindly obeyed the mandates of
the boss are wondering why he insisted on
nominating Z. B. Read for Assessor.
Read was beaten by Glynn last time for
Recorder, and has now nothing like his
former strength because of his bold at
tempt To get possession of tho office by a
fraudulent recount. He cannot be sup
ported by the respectable voters of the
party. and is not popular with the rabble.
Against John ID. Siebe he will not have
ghost of a show.
The shelving of Lynch has created also
much dissatisfaction, Tor though he was
looked upon as railroad man he had
strength enough to make Burns put him
on the slate at one time. He was turned
down at the last moment and converted
from hopeful candidate into the worst
kind of sorehead.
How to account for the boss's action in
this matter is puzzllng the statesmen, and
many OF them have about come to the con-
clusion that Burns must have been irving
10 defeat the local ticket when he put Read
up.
They said that there must have been a
deal between the bosses by which Budd
was to be thrown down and the Demo-
cratic local ticket elected, arguing that
BurDs was deeply interested in The State
fight and had lost hope of winning in the
city. But it was all gnesswork. The

Republicans and left town early IN the

Senator Morrill,, father of the high
protection tariff bill of 1861, has a
pleasant way of saying things in half
joking manner that is always relished
by his colleagues, whether they agree
with him or not. A broad smile
beamed on all the Senator's faces
when Mr.. Morrill, said: ''The 400
amendments too the tariff bill show
that after listening to Republican
speeches for six weeks the Democrat
ic senators really learned something.
If the tariff bill were laid aside for a
month, and that month were devoted
to study by my friends on the other
side of the chamber I think at the end
of that time they would bring in a
bill that would be perfectly acceptable
to the Republican side and which
would pass the senate by unanimous
vote"
