The next business IN order, the chair
nan declared, was the nomination of a
Mayor This was delayed by the Third
District, which had failed to elect a chair
man.
Henry Ach made an extended nomi-
mating address. He began with general
assertion tina. this was business age, and
d. clared that the man who presided over
be government of the city should be a
business man, clean, able, honest ana
frugal, with the courage to carry out the
PRINCIPLES aud blanks of the Democratic
platform. "Such man." said the speaker,
'i5 Jefferson G. James,"
In conclusion Mr.. Ach declared that Mr..
James was free from The taint of bossism.
Peter F. Dunno took the platform next.
He told why he was in favor of jefferson
q. James. f r,t, he was a Dem ocrAt and
had always been Democrat. He was a
plain, ordinary appearing man. His his
tory as a boy and a man was sketched
Delegate Dunno referred to the confidence
which eX-Mayor Pond reposed in Mr..
James.
Make him your nominee for Mayor and
he Will be elected without a doubt" con-
cluded Mr.. Dunno. "fOr as a vote-getter

Sam Braunhart presented the name of
| Adolph Sutro as representing the anti
monopoly issue. The gallery cheered for
several minutes. and good portion of ap-
plause came from the delegations.
Barclay Henley took the platform. 1t
had been his intention 10 submit the name
| Of James Denman. He now understood
that Mr.. Denman's name was not to be
submitted. He thought it was the proper
nomination, but it had been ordered
| otherwise. Now the issue was between
the two names presented. There was room
in the State for two parties only, The rail-
road party and the anIi-railroad party
(Cries of "SulroPD
"The Republican party is the railroad
party, The Democratic party is the anti
railroad party said Nj. Henley. who
then added that he took pride in second
ing the name of Adolph Sutro.
The same volley of cheers followed
Mr.. Henley declared that Sutro was a
fighter from way back. He was a CAPT
tsi't, who, instead of spending his life in
sensual indulgence in the capitals of
Europe, made his home in San Francisco
and had opened his magnificent park to
the people of the city. Mr.. Henley de-
clared that it had been said that Mr. Sutro
was not a Democrat, but he was pre-
pared to say that for many years Mr.
SutrO had been the strong supporter of
Democratic principles. Nominate Mr..
Sutro," concluded Mr.. Henley, land he
will be a winner"
P. n. Wellin declared that he had
promised Mr.. Denman his support Had
he known that Mr.. Denman was out of the
fight he would have begun to work for
SutrO earlier. The nominations were then
declared closed.
Chairman Deuprey, in answer to a Ques-
ton, declared that he had been informed
by Mr.. Sutro himself tlat he had not &C
cepted the Popuist nomination.
The convention then proceeded to take
the vote for Mayor it being evident from
the start that the gallery was strong for
the man of the Cliff House, while as the
vote progressed it became equally as evil
dent that the body of the convention
would present ajority for Jefferson G.
James. There were constant Interrupt
tions, mostly in the shape of Kisses, gem
orally from the gallery, in disapproyal OF
votes for James.
Hardly delegation was ready to carry
out the suggestion of the chair to vote
through their chairman. Rollcalls were
loudly demanded as the different dis tricts
were reached, and in some Instances, not
ably IN the call of the Thirtieth District.
one young man vociterouSly protested that
somebody had committed skullduggery
with the name of one Walter Burke. He
was squelched by the chair. Matters pro.
ceeded with the same occasional kissing.
the chair taking occasion to make a satiri
cal allusion TO the same procliyities on the
part of geese.
When the vote of the Thirty-eighth was
announced, 90 for James and 8 for Sutro.
Joe Mcdonald, one OF the mem bers of the
Fire Commission. who had got within
the ropes. cried three cheers Tor Jefferson
James," aud they were given with will
| and Tiger. The eagle eye of the chair
had sought him out, however, and Mr..
Deuprey proceeded to pounce on the in
truder. There was an interesting passage
at arms, Mr.. Mcdonald defiant and the
chair threatening. 1t finally concluded by
the retirement of Mr. Mcdonald to with
out the ropes.
There was another slight dis,ur bance
when the Forty-ffth was reached. Dele
gate Sullivan said vote had been taken
and all would have gone swimmingly bnt
for an obstruction in the shape of Dele
gate Levy, who refused to abide by the
vote. The gentlemen exchanged the lie
and hurled it back in the teeth of each
other playfully, cries for the rollcau prob
ably being the only thing that prevented
fisticuffs. There was no more excitement
until the name of Andy Clunie was reached
in the LIST OF delegates. His vote for Sutro
was received with cheers. A few moments
later the SOFT sweet voice of that eminent
Iiterateur aud Egyptologsr, Jerry Lynch.
was heard in echo. but got not a cheer.
1t was reasonably certain when the list
of delegates had been just little bit NOR.

looked like a cinch, and his friends on the
platform crowded around and congratu-
lated him.
At the end of an hour the r. Heal WIS
