MASKED ROBBERS.

Shoot to XII.
K. ID. HagertV of the Golden Gate
Saloon. Cliff House, Danger
Ously Wounded.

Two masked highwaymen committed
bold robbery at the Golden Gate saloon,
near the life-saviDg station, Cliff House,
last night and shot the proprietor, r. d.
Hagerty, through the right lung.
About half-past 9 O'Clock Hagerty was
standing outside the counter with his back
to the door reading newspaper. George
Fitzgerald, the stable-boy, was sitting in
chair close to where Hagerty was standing.
Two men entered the bar, each with a
revolver in his right hand. They both
wore gray-colored knitted masks, which
covered their faces and reached TO their
shoulders. They were without hats. One
was about feet tall and the other feet 2
or inches.
AS they entered the tall man said.
"Throw up your hands" and revolver in
hand went swiftly behind the bar. He
showed bis hand into the til and rapidly
filed his pockets. The other rObbet stood
covering Fitzgerald with his revolver, VINO
had at once obeyed the command 10 throw
up his hands.
Hagerty had not thrown up his hands,
being too surprised at the suddenness OF
the whole thing 10 grasp that the masked
strangers meant business. AS The tall man
came from behind the bar after rilliug the
till be again said to Hagerly, Throw up
your hands," evidently with the intention
OF going through his pockets.
Hagerty turned slightly around without
throwing up his hands, and as he did so
the tall roober fired at him. He was so
close that the powders burned his coat.
Hagerty reeled and yelled, Murder!
murder" The two men rushed out of the
bar and disappeared in the darkness iD
the direction of the Cliff House.
Joseph F. Lahaney, harness-maker,
ButchertowD, was iu one of the sitting
rooms of the saloon and when he heard
the shot he ran to see what was the mat
ter. When he reached the bar the two
robbers had fed.
Lahaney and Fitzgerald hitched up
Hagerty's horse and buggy, while some
oae telephoned to the Central Police sta
ton tor the patrol wagon. Without wait
il for the wagon Fitzgerald drove Hag-
erty TO his mothers house, 1919 Hayes
street, and she instructed them to drive on
to the Receiving Hos pital.
At the hospital DR.. Berry found that the
bullet had entered Hagerty's back and
gone clear through his body, piercing u q
right lung and frac:ufing one of his ribs
1t came out on his right side below the
nipple. The wound the doctor considered
very dangerous, but not necessarily fatal.
The wounded mans mother anu sister
called at the hospital. and the old lady's
grief was heartrendiDg. She remained
beside him for long time.
Mounted Special Officer Johnston. who
patrols the Rlehm Ond district. also called
at the hospital. He said he saw no sus-
piclous characters in the district while
going bis rounds.
The robbers took out of the till Sl25
Hagerty said he always had about thar
amount in his till after the days business
was over, and il is suspected that the rob-
bers had become acquainted With that
fact.

parative order was finally restored and
FoUte again took the chair aud presided
until the business was disposed of.
Motions to adjourn were repeatedly made
and votec down. The delegates wanted
to transact more business. They stayed
al their post until the name of Thomas
Ashworih was presented Tor the nomina-
tion for Superintendent Of Streets. There
was no other candidate and he was nomi-
mated by reclamation.
A rumor was circulated at the close of
the convention that Freese had been with
drawn from the contest for Assessor. The
story was that the Rainey men had
centered upon Supervisor Dun6on for that
billet, and that he would undoubtedly be
chosen. Brown has likewise been taken out
of the fight for County Clerk, leaving
the field to Haley. That is, providing there
is no new man. Men who seem to get
their information straight from the Bush
street stables say that Haley will not be
nominated, because he is not on the slate,
and that, though Brown is out of it. the
boss will find some other candidate before
the Office is reached. Haley has made a
good many enemies in the convention
since it has been in session through no APP
parent fault of his own. His men had an
unfortunate Droclivity for mixing in the
fight OF other candidates. and when it
comes to his own case they will retaiate.
The nomination for Superintendent of
Schools at the hands of the Dem ocraiic
convention will not go begging. Several
asprants for the place are in the field.

In order 10 bring the matter directly be-
fore the convention an amendment was
offered to the effect that the portion of the
fifth plank referring to a civil engineer be
stricken from the platform. Upon rising
vote the amendment was lost and the en-
Tire platform as presented by the commit
lee was adopted amid great enthusiasm.
MIR. Mlliken then introduced the follow
ing:

This motion was received with loud
cheers. and when the applause had sub
sided The vote was taken and the chair
announced that Mr.. Broderick was duly
nomin ated.
William BrOderick was escorted to the
platform and introduced to the convention.
He declared that when he appeared in the
convention Monday night he felt con fdent
OF success, but when Sam Braunhart nom
mated Mr.. Hinton and declared that he
was slated for the place, it made the cold
chills run down his spine. He had run up
against one slated candidate once and
received 81 votes, and he did not want to
run mp against another. He added that
he had felt so sure of the nomioation that
he had not canvassed for vutss prior to
the first ballot. $50 l went out to-day, and
If didn't do some good politics it was be-
cause l don't know how" added Mr..
Broderick, who then went on to
say that he could bestOw no pa
tronage and offer no favor except to
pass shady bill, which he declared he
would not do. In conclusion he Endorsed
every syllable of the platform.
Joseph l.. Donlon was reported as the
choice of tho Thirty-fifth District delega-
cation for Assem- blyman. The nomination
was Endorsed by the convention.
Nominations for Recorder being de-
clared in order. Delegate Charles Hag-
gerty took the platform and in a short
speech placed the name of Thomas j.
Glynn, the incumbent, before the conven-
ton.
P. F. Dune seconded the nomination of

man.

experience and of his service with two
business houses OF this city. Thomas w.

tanned the necessary 81 votes through the
friendship of the POpulist legislator from
Los Angeles.
The Twenty-eignth District gave Burke

Is votes and Glynn Z. The Thirtieth gave
Glynn Is votes to 10 for Burke, the latter
leading by 5 votes.
Chairman Weller of the committee on
credentials Interrupted the proceedings
when the vote of the Thirtieth District was
asked. by stating exci,edly TO the char
that somebody ad touched him for his
S14 overeoat. He refused to take no for
an answer and insisted on the postpone
ment of the rollcal until it was found.
By wonderful Conclusion of coincl-
dences" it was found on the stage where
Mr.. Weller had left it earlier in the pro-
ceedings, and By still more wonderful
'concusSion of condolences" he fell down
the stage stairs and will be black and llue
to-day.
The Thirtieth District broke eveu. Civ
ing each twelve votes. The Thirty-frst
District placed Gynn in the lead by one
vote. The Thirty-secoud and Thirty-third
increased Glynn's lead. With the aid of
the ThiTty-fourth Burke reduced Glynn's
lead to three, and the vote of the Thirty
fifth placed Burke teu in the lead. the vote
then standing Burke 90, Glynn Sc. Then
the vote moved up alternately in favor of
one or the other. The vote of the Thirty
eighth made the tally stand Burke 126,
Gym 129 The vote of the Thirty-ninth
placed GlYnn twenty-four in the lead.
The Fortieth District reduced Glynn's lead
10 nineteen. The Forty-6rst gave Glynn
another boost, so that he led By thirty-four
votes. At the close of the poll of the
Forty-third. the vote stood Glyun 211,
Burke 157. The poll of the districts
showed Glynn's strength to be 23J, Burke's
ISL. GlyDn required to get sixty-nine
votes from the deiegates-at-largs to obtain
the necessary 304 votes to insure the nomi-
nation.
Martin Hughes, bailiff in Judge Sander
sons court, interrupted the calling of the
roll Of the delegates at large several times
by declaring that the vote of delegates had
been miscalled and had been tailed for
Glynn where given to Burke.
Are you a delegate? ?" asked Chairman
Deuprey.
The bailiff declared that he was not. HI
was told to retire from the ropes. Instead
of doing so he sat down in a delegates
seat. A sergea t-at-arms was instructed
to put Hughes out. The sergeant-at-arms
hesitatsd. A police officer rushed in and
hustled Baliff Hughes out of the hall.
The delegates-at-large voted almost solid
ly for Glynn and saved him the nomina-
ton. James Smith casting the necessary

strong enough he may reject all the per-
sons recommended and take up men of his
own CHI dice. The anti boss men do not
think that this can be done. They will
hold that it cannot and that as the motion
has become part of the order of business
it will take a two-thirds vote to upset
il. 1t is quite safe to predict that
theirs will be a big fight over this
question. Last night Rainey men asserted
that the boss had not made determined
stand aver this committee of arrangements
because be knew that he could prevent the
nomination of any one who did not suit
him, and that on Thursday night The anti
boss crowd will find that it has not
achieved so much of victory as it thinks
Ii has.
During the discussion of Aeh's motion,
Chairman Deuprey announced that he
would resign the chair for the time, as it
was proposal to place in his hands high
privilege. and he thought that some one
else should assume control of the proceed
ings. He called upon II. S. FOote. who
soon found that he could not manage the

made was as nothing compared to that Of

ting the instrument showed that he was
no mechanic. The crowd laughed at him,

floor was either laughing at Foote'S help

An Auditor, Street Superintendent,

by the Convention.

Democrat delegates sang "And the Cat
Came Back the Very Next Day." when
Andy Clunie mounted the platform at the
convention in Union Hall. The song goes
on to explain That the cat came back "be-
cause 1t couldn't stay away" and it seemed
very apropos to MIR. Clunie's case.
1t was thought that the young man had
bolted the convention because Sam Rainey
and not Buckley was running it. He was
not in his seat on Tuesday night and
that gave rise to the suDpo>itiOn.
But it must have been Buckley's
visit to the city that occssioned
Clunie's temporary absence, as nothing
less important could have kept him away
from a Democratic convention for day.
Buckley, it is said, has returned to Liver
more, after having visited the Southern
Pacific officials. and issued his orders to
his lieutenants, so Andrew Jackson
Clunie gravitated back t. his seat and
underwent good deal of ''guying" from
his associates.

are out Of it for good, though. Neither of
them was present las: night. and it was
authoritatively announced shat they in
tended TO stay away altogether.
In the meantime Sam Rainey is nomi-
mating the slate candidates with unerring
skill. Last night he put on Broderick for
Auditor. Glynn for Recorder. Fitzhugh for
| Surveyor and Ashworth for Supernten-
| dent of Streets. That was pretty good
nights work for the boss.
| The lesson given Auditor Broderick on
| the slate candidate question was very
| effective. He had no opposition before
! Monday night, and on that occasion he ex-
pressed his contempt for them. He had
observed, he said, that Rainey put his
men in when there were 40 strong candi-
dates in the field, but that in is case the
! scheme would not operate. A few min
utes after this speech VIII am NJ. Hinton
was placed in nomination for Auditor as
against BrOderick and ran ahead of him,
! though he failed of nomination. Mr..
| Broderick saw his mistake and yesterday
ne corrected it by making his peace with
the boss. Rainey accepted him. and Hin
| ton was Withdrawn. MIR. BrOderick was
accordingly nominated by scclematioD.
In thanking the convention he said that
the Hinton incident had scared him badly
and added. $50 l went out to-day and il
didn't d some good politics it is because
l don't know how" Nevertheless Mr.
Broderick also stated that he was no boss
candidate and didn't believe in one man
naming Democratic tickets.
The night witnessed an apparent repulse
for Rainey after all his success. After a
stormy and at times ridiculous scene the
convention voted to empower Chairman
Deuprey to select a committee to present
to the convention Thursday evening the
names of candidates to be voted on for
Supervisors. This was the proposition
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1894-09-26

which the convention defeated In the early
stages of its deliberal ions, when it was
looked upon as a move of the ant-boss
element TO prevent Rainey and Buckley
from getting control Of the Board of Su-
pervisors.
1t was sprung again last night by Henry
Ach, and there were immeasurable amend
ments, speeches and breaches of decorum.
1t was during this debate that the Clunie
incident afforded much advertisement for
the delegates Sam Braunhart and James
Smith made bitter speeches against boss
rule, and they succeeded in creating an
uproar aud breaking the ranks of their
adversaries. The tight was as to whether
the committee should be named by the
district delegations or by Chairman Deu-
prey. The first mentioned plan would
have given Rainey full control, while the
other tended to place the nominees out of
his reach.
The motion to haze the chairman select
the men who are to report the candidates
was carried by reclamation in the midst
OF great confusion, and there was great
rejoicing in the camp of the anti boss con-
tingent. But, after all, the committee is
only authorized t. report names. The
convention may do as it pleases when 1t
comes to nominating men to compose the
Board Of Supervisors. The motion pro-
viding for the appointment of the commit
tee was not clear as to how many names
should be submitted. When the matter
was first mooted and defeated the plan
was that the committee report two candi-
dates for Supervisor from each district.
That Is presumed to have been the in
lention last night, though the matter was
left entirely open. Nor does it appear to
be compulsory upon the convention to
confine itself to the names sent in. Iii
doubtless so understood. but IL Rainey is
