an effort would be made 10 pull down DIR.
Alexander. the candidate nominated for
county treasurer, and Judge Mitchell, I,
who had the matter we'll in hand, ac-
complished this object at the afternoon
session, and secured the endorsement
oil X. Il. Haines, the nominee on the
Populiet ticket, although there were
quite number OF vigorous protests
made by delegates from different sec-
tions OF the county. Quite number OF
delegates refused to vote, and l26 vote d
Tor j. II. Brewer who had not been nom
mated, on the ground that he was a
Democrat. The proceedings will be
found below in detail.
THE CONVENTION ASSEMBLIES.
1t was 10 80 when Chairman Stephens
raped the convention to order, and
raised cheer by announcing that Hon.
James Budd, this candidate for governor,
would speak at Hazards pavilion, Los
Angeles, on tne evsning of Septe 10 ber
22d; Pomona, Septem Der Gath, and Pas
adena September 2oth.
Chairman Stephens then said: There
has been a great deal OF talk on tbe
streets for several days regarding fusion
between the Democracy and the Popu-
list party. | wish to say that there ie
no such proposition pending; no offer
has been made and 1 do no; believe any
agreement of thst character could be
made. Applause. lido not think that
under the purity OF elections law that
such combination, fusion or agreement,
can be made" Applause

township nominations for justices and
constsbles in the rurGl districts, which
were ratified by the convention.

Pointed LETTER.
Judge Mitchell then presented the
following letter for the consideration OF
the conyention
Hon. A. M. Stephens, Chairman Democratic
County Convention.
NV DEAR s1R;-I have been informed that
when my name WAS mentioned In the eonven'
ton for the nomination of county treasurer;
| the charge was made that L was memper Oh
| the ofga 4ization known as the A. z. A. Per'
| mt me to new sta e that the allegation by
| whomsoever mad >, ia false in every particular.
! | make this staten mt aG the instauce OF some
| of my friends VINO have stated that the en- large
| influenced them to vote against me ior the
| nomination referred to. Respectfully yours,
| R. K. HA1NEs.
Mr.. Ramish-When the name of Mr..
Hsines was presented to this conven-
ton ss @ candidate my district refused
to vote, Ia view OF this letter l now
move that we recenaieer the nomination
for county treasurer.
Mr., Bell do not think we can recon
elder that nomination under tho purity
of elections law. We cannot pull dowr
a candidate after he has accepted th'
nomination.
MR.. BREWERS REMARKS.
Mr.. Brewer-I am one of the partie
who opposed the nomination of Mr.
Haines, because / was informed that b
was an A. P. A. and O Republican.
want to know if that gentleman is will.
ing to come before this convention an
say that he is Democrat and will sup
port the Democratic platform. Befor
we take any further steps let us find ou
where we are at. Mr.. Alexander, on
candidate, is an avowed Democrat. MI
! Hsines ssys he voted for Grover Cleve
. land, but that does not make him
, Democrat.
Judge Humphrsys-Df. Alexande
was squarely put on the ticket, and L d
not see how we can ask him to etc
' down and out. l am q straight.lace
Missouri Democrat. but l realize the
. there are times when it may be neceH
sary to use little policy. If there is
vacancy on our ticket and we fill it wit
y a man who leans toward the Populis
party it may bs a good move, for | be
+. lieve that We should exercise lit
policy
Mr.. Brewer-At the sacrifice OF prir
cipleP
. MISSOURI DEMOCRAT TALKS.
!, Judge Humphreys-Lf we use lit
a policy we may achieve success this fsl
We want all the votes we can get, b.
If cause we will need them badly. A
g element has gone into the Populi
o party in the past ak months that wi
n wreck it sure as fate. | believe wht
q Grover Cleveland goes out OF Office
% will be the biggest man on earth for Il
n stand he took on the Commonweal arm
IApplause.l AS to the Populiet part
| am satisfied when that expreasi
bird, Carl Browne, gets back to Gallo
It,. MIA he will take charge and run Il
T. Populist party and wreck it, and '
p then want to rescue the Democrat
- ~ voters from it.
:, q Mr.. Savags-The Eighth ward ca
- - its vote solid for Alexander, but il '
! had known what we know now,
n would have cast majority for Hain'
lv Mr.. Henry Wilson-Mr. Haines W
cd knitted on the floor of this conventi
RS. by a charge that he was an A. T.
tn man, which was made by the broshe
N, in-law OF the Republican candidate
le, county treasurer. 1t is only siml
lg Justice that we should reopen this nol
