REoRGANIzERs SEATED.
The committee on credentials held a
session this afternoon and another last
ing three hours this evening. Tonight's
meeting was devoted entirely to the
confederation OF the respective claims OF
the rival delegations from Sacramento.
H. M. Lsrue and J. Doty spoke for th g
reorganizers, and J. Ii. Stevens for the
old line Democratic. After listening to
the arguments, the committee went into
executive session. A proposition from
ths committee to seat half of each dele
cation was declined by both parties.
Finally, by vote OF 90 to /, the COM
mittee declared in favor OF the reorgani-
zers.
The contest in the Alameda delegation
between Superintendent OF the Mint
Daggett and Frank J.. Moffitt, over
the Craftsmanship of the delegation, re-
suited in the election Of Moffitt by q
vote of 10 to 16. over r. NJ. Fitzgerald,
Daggett's candidate. The feeling be-
tween the two factions is go bitter that
the minority openly aver their determi-
nation to oppose the majority on every
proposition which may arise during the
convention.
PROBABLE A. p. A. ACTION.
All day long considerable talk was
heard regarding the probable action OF
the A. p. A. on various nominations
which are being urged. Surveyor OF
Port English. who aims at the conven-
adoption OF plank in the platform con-
demning the A. P. A. This proposal
was deprecated by the conservative ele-
ment, as injudicious, but late in the
evening English gained his point go far
q "a MI pf 20 nj in nm
cerned. The platform committee will
not be named until tomorrow, but moet
of tie sections have already been
drafted, one of them referring to the A.
P. A. There will undoubtedly be q
strong fight against its adoption in com.
mittee, and a still harder fight in the
convention.
Planks denouncing the Reilly funding
bill, the abolition of the railroad com.
mission and general tussle with the
Southern Pacific are also to be in the
platform.
THE TWO MURPHYs.
James E. Murphy, superior judge oi
Del Norte, is one Of the leading can
didates for supreme justice. Owing to
| the A. z. A. talk he fears the convention
will not stand two MuRhys on the
ticket-Barney for governor and James
for justice-so he is making q vigorous
fight tonight to change the usual order
of business. making the nominations for
the supreme bench take precedence over
those for governor. There is no likelihood,
however, that this departure from Gus
tom will be made.
Great pressure ia being brought upon
Judge Wallace to induce him to recon-
slider his refusal to be a candidate for
supreme justice. His friends believe he
will consent to be candidate and are
confident of his nomination.
BUDD AND MURPHY LEADING.
James H. Budd of Stockton and Bar.
ney Murphy of San Jose are still the
leading candidates in the race for the
gubernatorial nomination. The friends
OF the former held caucus in the Lick
house tonight and claim 275 votes
pledged to Budd, 331 being necessary to
q choice. Murphy's adherents claim
the inside of the race but refuse to make
q numerical announcement. Enthus.
isstic Murphy men are wearing badges
with Barney Murphy" in blue letters,
to Offset the red badges of jim Budd's
followers. Most Of the delegates are un-
badged, however.
MAGUIRE A CANDIDATE.
For the first time since the formal an
nouneement of his candidacy, Congress-
man Msguire'a boom for governor shows
positive strength tonight. The San
Francisco delegates made great play OF
arouning enthusiasm for him, but many
asserted that there was "a niggsr in the
woodpile," and that their support of
Mcguire was not genuine. There Is
talk OF Budd withdrawing in favor of
Mcguire after the first two ballots, but
Budd's friends emphatically deny this.
THE MAN OF DESTINY.
A statement which had moro cur
rency and which received greater ere.
dence, was the announcement that
Murphy, at the last moment, would re-
tire in favor OF Dennis Spencer OF Naps,
whom many consider the man of des-
tiny and very available candidate. 1t
is urged that his residence would Offset
that OF MIR. Estee and that his record is
excellent.
1t is understood that d. A. Ostrom of
Yuba will be content with a compli-
mentary vote on the first ballot.
Nomination OF q congressman for the
Sixth district was deferred from this
evening until tomorrow night, pending
the report OF the committee ON creden-
tials.
d. M. DelmRs of Ssnta Clara is be.
lIeved to be Del Valle's choice for chair
