But Few of the City Delegates gsresen
state Delegates and Central
Committee Chosen.

convened at Turner Hall yesterday after
noon at l o'clock for the purpose of elect
ing delegates to the State Convention, the
naming of members on the County Cen
tral Committee, etc. Much to the sur
prise of great many OF the delegates,
county ticket was not nominated, and
will not be for some time TO come.
The delegates were called to order by
William Boyne, Chairman of the County
Central Committee.
There was some misunderstanding re-
garding the date of the meeting OF the
convention, and nearly all of the city
delegates were absent. 1t was originally
set for yesterday, but owing to the failure
to get hall, somebody changed the time
of the meeting to Wednesday. The re-
suit was the country members were out
in full force and the local delegates were,
therefore, not in attendance. There were
about eighty delegates present when the
convention was called to order.
The following were elected temporary
officers: Chairman. j. T. Camp OF
Brighton; Secretary, A. b. SanDorn;
Sergeant-at-Arms, j. ID. Jost.
The following were appointed COM

IL. NJ. Bauman, ID. owen, ). V. BoynIon
and a. a. krull.
A. Dittmar. Jacob Heintz, w. K. Grim

appointed as a Committee on Permanent
Organization and Order of Business.

Long, C. W. Daley and J. h. Devine.
a recess for fifteen minutes was then
taken to afford the committees an oppor-

When the convention reassemple Inc
Committee on Credentials submitted It's
report, showing that Isl delegates were
entitled to seats. The report was adopted.
The Committee on Permanent Organi-
cation and Order of Business next sub
mitted its report.
Before the report was acted upon Dele
gate Bovne arose and said he did not
suppose the convention was called to
nominate county officers. but was called
to order before he proceeded further, ana
was told that he could finish his remarks
later on.
The report OF the committee was then
taken up.
The temporary officers were chosen as
the permanent officers of the convention.
The report recommended that County
Central Committee, to consist OF three
member from each Supervisor district,
be elected: also, that eleven delegates be
elected to the State Convention, two from
each Supervisor district and one at large.
The order of business adopted was as
follows: Nominations for three Assem-
blymen, Sheriff, Clerk, Auditor and Re
corder. Assessor, District Attorney,
Treasurer. Public Administrator, Sur
yeyor and Supervisors from the First
and Fifth districts.
When action on that part OF the report
recommending the selection OF members
of the County Central Committee was
about to be taken, several delegates arose
at once, some of whom objected to the re-
commendatians and others favorlng
them.
The country delegates thought that IL
the report was adopted they would not
stand much show on the Central Commit
tee The report was amended so as TO
provide for four members from each dis
trict on the committee.
The recommendation that eleven dele
gates to the State Convention be chosen
by the convention was amended to read
that the delegates be elected by the MEM
bers of each Supervisor District, and then
confirmed by the convention.
When it came TO voting on the recon-
mendation of the committee that full
county ticket be nominated, much oppo-
sition was evinced by some of the dele
gates on the ground that all the dele
gates were not present, and also that the
time was too early for making the noml-
nations.
After much discussion on the subject,
the whole matter was laid on the table.
William Boyne then resumed his re-
marks where they had been cut of, and
reiterated his assertion that the conven-
ton was not called to nominate ticket,
but to choose delegates to the State Con-
yention and elect members of the County
Central Committee. The advertised call
did not read that the convention was to
assemble to nominate ticket.
An effort was made to take the subject
matter Off the table in the hope OF nom-
mating a ticket, but it failed.
The Committee on Platform and Reso-
lutions submitted the following report,
/, which was adopted:
First-That this convention adheres
strictly to the demands of the Omaha
platform.
fsSecond-That this convention indorses
the demands of the State Labor Congress
held in San Francisco February 20, 1894.
Third-That this convention is in favor
of two-third majority in all jury trials of
this State.
The usual collection was taken up to de-
fray the expenses.
