Most of the resolutions sent TO the desk

THE BONE OF CONTENTION.
Rose of Colusa moved that the sixth
order of business be stricken out in
adopting the report. 1t provides for the
selection OF man and his recommends
tion for United States Senator to the next
wise at this time to do so.
Collier OF San Francisco, in vigorous
Speech opposed the motion. The party
had nothing TO fear in the matter.
Wilkins OF Santa Cruz supported Roses
views The convention must not disre-
gard practical politics for theory. If they
did they would expose their candidate
to slaughter, where they could not help
him. He would simply be target for
hnt "a "A
they would combine against him as a
common enemy. He feared such action
at this time would cause dissension in the
party.
Brown of Santa Clara earnestly sup
ported the naming of man for Senator.
The words, practical politics." were
hateful to him. They stood associated
with all that was dishonest and bad.
Burdette Cornell of San Joaquin, State
Lecturer for the Farmers Alliance, also
favored the nomination. There was
nothing for the party to be afraid of. The
people of the State wanted to know who
was to be put forward for The position.
Thompson of San Francisco, Johnson
of Red Bluff, General Kittrell OF Mo-
desto, Barlow of San Luis Obispo and a
number of others spoke in favor of the
nomination, while several delegates
spoke against it,
The debate waxed warm and the
trumpet tones Of the speakers echoed
through the hall so loudly that at times it
was difficult to hear what was said. The
applause that followed every speaker
who favored the nomination OF d man for
Senator showed the sentiments Of the del
egates in favor OF Gator.
Cornell rose to question of privilege,
saying that he had been accused OF hav-
ing, while in the last campaign, stated his
preference for Stephen NJ. White. He
said any such statement was false. as
would be shown by his speeches and let
ters TO the press. He had never done so.
| Poyear rose to question of privilege
in answer, admitting that the statement
! had been made by Cornell in private
conversation and not in public. He
thought Cornell had better not push the
/ question of yeracity to an issue.
| Rose was finally allowed to close the
debate. He said be had deemed it proper,
| in the best interests of the party to call
their attention to what ne deemed the
| danger of such action. He was seeking
no Office and wanted none His interest
! in the matter was simply for the welfare
| of the party. He thought such action
| would damage 1t.
The previous question was called for,
and The motion to strike out was over
whelmingly defeated.
Dare moved to strike out that part Of
the report which provided for the assess
ment OF delegates, and it was done.
Gibson moved that the method of vot-
ing by delegations be changed. Too much
fraud had been praetieed IN that way IL
the past He moved that the voting bt
by roll-call. His motion was carried.
After voting down some other motions
the report was adopted as amended.
Mrs. b. NJ. Longtey was elected Vice
| President.
