The morning call., 1894-08-24
Declared the Nominee of the Eighth
Senatorial Convention.

A nights elaboration convinced Glenn
County's representatives in the Eighth
Senatorial District convention that further
dilatOry tactics would not have the effect
OF defeating j. II. Seaweli for the State
Senate. Wednesday night the convention
0ailoted for several hours, Seawell of
Mendocino always receiving that cOunty's
IL votes and John Boggs getting Colusa's
T. Two of Glenn County's delegates voted
for Boggs, and two others persisted in
voting for persons not in the race in order
to prevent SeawelPs nomination.
Yesterday morning the convention re-
assembled, and the two recalcitrant Glenn
County delegates, Pullman and knight,
cast their ballots for Seawell, thus giving
him Is votes and a majority. He was
then declared the nominee.

AMONG THE CANDIDATES.
Several New Aspirants for Office in
the Field

Felix Dunn of Sacramento is announced
as candidate for State Controller. He
is brother of ex-State Controller John ?.
Dunn, and was the latter's chief deputy
while John 2. was in Office 1t is urged
that his experience in that capacity fits
him for the place and that he will make a
strong run against Colgau, the Repu blican
nominee.
ii. Nj. Larues whose name has been
mentioned in connection with the nomi-
nation for Governor, Is now out for Rail-
road Commissioner. He was considered
as one OF the possible dark horses in the
gubernatorIal fight. aud his friends said
yesterday that as there was small chance
for his success in that race they had de-
cided to 0ecure for him the nomination for
the commissionership. If he secures 1t,
they declare, he will have a good show
against Beckman, who is running on the
Republican ticket.
The country will probably bring out a
candidate for State Printer At present
there are three candidaIes-Benoist,
Curry and Ward. They are all San Fran
cisco men and the cry is being raised that
the country should be given a show. AS
yet no man has been mentioned from the
interior, but it is probable that one will be
forthcoming to-day.
Congressman Geary arrived yesterday
from Washington to look after his chances
for denomination by the First Congress
sional District convention. He reached
the city just in time for Senator Gesford OF
Napa had been making vigorous fight
for the honor.
Professor S. G. Smythe, princ ipal of the
Hollister public school, is out for the
nomination Tor Superintendent of Public
instruction. He is said to be man of ex-
perience in educational matters, ami as
there are no very strong aspirants In the
field his friends think that he stands q
good chance for the nomination.
