have to lead the party at this particular
iuncture. They nominated him yesterday
as their candidate for Governor over
Murphy of San Jose. Spencer of Napa
and Mcguire Of San Francisco.
. 1t was not by any means the outcome
that was expected of the State convention.
for Barney Murphy had been making the
running 10 the race and was believed to
be considerably in the lead. Thursday
night his friends claimed to have over 800
> votes and a good chance fer many more
from the San Francisco delegation. They
had lost ground when the convention as
: sembled yesterday morning, but they were
still leaders, as shown by the first ballot
- ButfoT all their claims the Murphy ban
ners have been traied in the dust, and
Budd, who once painted his name on the
fences and dead walls of the State, has
!. been authorized to sally forth on another
vote-getting expedition.
-. He promised the convention that he
would do it, and it yelled its approval He
=: was the lion of the hour, and in accepting
the applause of the nominating body. he
told. the delegates that be had too much
strength 20 be led into errors and too much
sense to make any mistakes. Besides
being modest he showed that ne was also
: affectionate. He threw his arms round
defeated Barney Murphy's neck. and as
,sured l1ne multitude that Barney would do
ali inthis power to secure his election.
And they all applauded-shouted as only
Democrats can in the face of defeat. Any
thing that Mr.. Budd might have said
would have won plaudits then. because he
had enough friends in the convention to
create noise. and they were bent on
making a creditable clamor.
What could Barney Murphy do under
- the circumstances? Only one thing, and
he tried TO do it. He smiled and looked as
happy as he could. and then he delivered
himself of few remarks. which seemed
to promise his support of his successful
rival.
The Democracy, which, few months
ago. thought it could not muster enough
followers in the State to get up conven-
tion, went through the form of making a
jOlliicatiOn over what it had done, and the
love feast had really a realistic semblance.
And Spencer, whose name is Denis,
also felieitated himself upon his defeat
and patted Budd on the back because of
his success. w. w. Foote had a word or
two to say about himself and Budd. and
the scene passed of according TO the pro-
convention.
William T. Jeter of Santa Cruz was
nominated for Lieutenant Governor and
: Ben Maddox for Secretary of State. Tae
ticket was nearly completed at session of
the convention at Odd Fellows Hall last
night, and at meetings of the various dis
trct conventions.
The Democrats have made their nomina
tions for Railroad Commissioners upon
the promises of the candidates that thev
would not be Influenced" by the railroad
company in the discharge OF their official
duties. 81. NJ. Larue of Sacramento, DR..
James j. Stanton of San Francisco and
W. w. Phillips Of Fresno are the candi-
dates.
Congressman Mcguire. Geary, Warren
English and Caminetti have been renomi-
mated, and George E. Patton of Los An
geles and W. Fl. Afford of Tulare will
make up the list of Congressional candi-
dates for whom loyal Democrats will vote
The crowning event of the naming of
members of the State Board of Equaliza-
ton was the nomination as another tower
Of strength" of James c. Nealon. chosen,
perhaps, On the strength of his record as
Under Sheriff and Assessor.
DR.. James l. Stanton won a signal vic
tory over his detractors in the San Fran
cisco delegation by being nominated :or
Railroad Commissioner of the Second Dis
trlct over W. M. Hinton Of the 165 votes
cast he received 125, and much re-
.joicing was indulged in by his
friends over what they called the doctors
'vindicatioD." During the meeting of the
:. district convention, which sought tn re-.
move the stain of Buckleyism which tbav
said had been villainOusly put upon the
character Of an otherwise stainless man
it was predicted that Stanton could not
win at the general election, and as Demo.
cratic funds are low the victory" of nomi-
nation IS likely to cost the young Super-
visor something.
The State convention was considerably
more animated yesterday than on any
preceding day. 1t warmed up to its work,
and in the business of the day and under
the influence Of oratory approached the
point of enthusiasm. The delegates were
