The record-union., 1894-06-19

earnest fight are Thomas S. Bonneau,
present County Clerk of Marin, and
II. W. Church, County Auditor OF Ala
meda County. Both are backed by their
local delegations, both are genial gentle
men and good generals and either would
make an efficient officer. If Judge Hen
shaw gets the nomination to position
on the Supreme bench the chances OF the
gentleman from Alameda will be very
SLIM
Alameda County aspirants for Office
and there are some for every billet in
sight-are all on the anxious seat. ii
they get a Supreme Judge from that
county the convention Will say that is
enough" and the names of the other as
pirants will be ''pennis." None seem to
appreciate that condition of affairs more
than does Fred NJ. Campbell, who thinks
that if Judge Henshaw is defeated then
his chances for nomination for the office
OF Superintendent of Public instruction
is above par.
For Railroad Commissioner in this dis
trict, the friends of William Beckman

Gus fight for the nomination OF Railroad

trult-bearIng work among the delegates.

cided, but as for rveyor-General, they

and all the time.

The FL Dorado delegation came down
from Placervile yesterday. They are
nine in number, and each one a stalwart,
for they come unpledged. 1t is said in
their caucus on the train they were not
unit on any candidate, except Uren for
Surveyor General. Assembly lyman Raw
is their Chairman. There was time in
the history of tho State when FL Dorado
was entitled TO the same number of dele
gates as san Francisco. II she had l64
delegates to-day the metropolis would
not have quite so much TO say, and the
hard-workIng men from the foothills
would have more OF a voice in public
affairs.

READY FOR BUSINESS.
The convention will open to-day at 2
P. NJ. IN Agricultural Pavilion, at the
southeast corner OF Fifteenth and
streets. 1t has been fitted up in a style
that makes it the handsomest as we'll as
most c0mmodious hall in the State.
Ihe general understanding IS that
George A. knight, the well-known san
Francisco lawyer, will be chosen as
Chairman. 1t is also stated that Mr.
knight will place NJ. NJ. Estee in nom
ination for Governor, but this is not set
tied. He is an eloquent speaker and has
voice that can be heard no matter how
large the hall, and if occasion requires he
can make himself understood over an en-
tire township.

spangled Banner" Will be sung by the
