In two hours the Alameda men had Hen.

They sailed forth looking for delegates,
and found them in abundance. Sixty solid
Votes for anybody except Estee captured
come of the malcoDtents from the southern
counties, and they seoOped in Sacramento
in trade over Congressman. Delegates
drom the coast counties were found sus-
ceptible on some of the subordinate offices,
and in short time it was announced that
Henshaw was as good as nominated.
I'VE don't approve of trading votes to
make nominations. said an Alameda dele
gate. "but In this case we believe the end
juStifies the means. Dan Burns was
against Henshaw for certain political
reasons, but when we showed him that we
had over 800 votes pledged be Immediately
descended from his high horse and told Us
he would give in. This is the way we
have nominated Henshaw. and instead Of

So the slate is being rearranged tonight.
1t now stands De Haven and Henshaw for
the long terms, and Van Fleet for the two
year uneXpired term, and unless some
thing happens to again break it, which is
extremely improbable. these three Judges
will be chosen tomorrow.
Judge Hebbard still has hopes, and the
same may be said of Angelctti and others
who aspire TO the Supreme bench but in q
general way it may be said that the vigor
with which the Alameda delegation has
gone about Henshaw's fight has blasted
all their prospects. Had Judge Hebbard
had the support in the San Francisco dele
cation to which be is entitled, he would
have been able also to break the slate and
secure the short term. but the San Fran
ciscans do not rally with the enthusiasm
that characterizes the interior politicians.

the south without prominent representa-

speedily set to work to remedy the diff

Governor was unearthed in the person of
S. 6. Willard of Los Angeles, a lawyer
In the councils Of the party. His friends
agreed to be appeased by his nomin alton
and it was decided to put him on the
TICKET, as also County Clerk Ward of the
same county for Clerk of the Supreme
Court.

remainder of the ticket It's completion

The remaining Congressional districts
will meet tomorrow, with the exception
of the Seventh, which has already nomi-
mated Bowers. The Fifth will undoubt-

School Superintendent This ends the
ambitions of Al Bowler and Julius Kahn
Of San Francisco.
The convention will meet in the morn
ing at 10 O'Clock. The programme of pro-
ceedings has already been mapped out.
The committee on organization will report
and then the committee on platform and
resolutions will command the attention of
the convention. The nominations will
then ensue, as follows: Governor Lieu
tenant-GOvernoT, Supreme Court Justices.
Attorney-GeneraI, Surveyor-General, Clerk
of the Supreme Court. Superintendent of
Puplic Instruction, State Printer and the
nomination OF new State Central Com
mittee.
1t is acceded that the preparations for
the convention are very complete, and
among the men who deserve especial
thanks are E. B. Willis, chairman of the
press committee; 7. H. Wallis, chairman
Of the hall committee; S. S. Hadly and c.
81. Holmes.
General 4. p. Chapman is in nowise dis
mayed by the front which the Burns fac
ton is making in the fight for Governor.
His rooms in the Capitol Hotel were
thronged tonight and the general seemed
In good spirits, though it was evident that
he thought the slate" would go through.
General Chapman hopes for all the north
ern counties, although Colonel BurDs has
most of them in his list of assured Estee
delegates.
In the midst of the general scramble to-
night the general rested on sofa in his
rooms and received his callers. He said ::
II have observed nothing to-day to cause
me to change front. The fact is that am
going before this convention to ACCEPT the
action of the ssembled represer tatives of
the people without any thought of what
the prearranged conditions are. We hope
to have free expression of opinion in the
convention, and if we get it there will be
no discomfort l am free to admit that at
present 1t does not look as though we
would get it. yet we will proceed as if
everything was favorable"
General Chipman's claims have not
changed during The past few days. If the
north adheres TO its promises be will have
number Of counties. and he expects that
there will be many votes in the southern
counties which will bolt from the pro-
gramme and swell the Chapman boom.
Ihls latter claim is based on the generals
personal Influence. Those who know him
are III favor of voting in an anti. Burns
ticket. but the generals acquaintance in
the south and the central counties is not
nearly so large as that of Spreckels and
Burns Nothing will prevent General
Chlpman from making his fight and W no.
ever may be stampeded he will not be
among them. He expects that the Burns
ticket will 60 through. unless some emer-
gency now unanticipated arises. yet he will
60 into the race hoping that the delegates
may get their senses and give some kind of
thought to the will of the people from the
north.

knOwledged that Estee will be nominated
