A motion for recess of fifteen minutes
10 enable the committee on credentials to
report was objected TO by Marcus d.
Boruck on the ground that there was no
contest before the convention and 1t was
unnecessary to consume the time. The
motion was put and carried and the COM
mirtee adjourned to one of the ante-rooms
10 scan the lists.
Is took but few minutes for the COM
nittee 10 prepare its report, and when the
chair raped for order Mr.. Duval an
nonnced that the committee had found
that the gentlemen whose names appeared
on the rinted roll were entitled to seats
in the convention. The report was re-
ceived and adopted.
Wendell Eas ton moved that a committee
on permanent. organization and order of
business, to consist of chairman and one
member from each Assembly District, be
appointed.
j. L. jackson moved that a commits tee
on platform and resolutions of similar size
and representation be appointed at the

perfect harmony prevailed in the ranks of
the Republican parry. Alter a few gen.
eral remarks eulogiz ng the party Mr.. Van
Duzer declared that it was his pleasant
duty TO present the name of professional
gentleman of high character who was a
practical business man, but not a profess
sional politician. He presented the name
of James Alva Watt for temporary chair
man. There was no other nominee and
Mr.. Watt was declared elected by accla-
nation.
'Ien tlemen OF the convention" said Mr.
Watt, as he took the platform and was H.
PRODUCED by Mr.. Manwaring, "the keynote
of this campaign is action-t is not talk
ing We are called here for a serious pur-
pose and [ congratulate the Republican
party that we have here assem- bed the
best and cleanest and most representative
con vention I'll at has ever represented the
city and county of San Francisco in Re-
publican councils. l esteem it an honor,
gentlemen, to have been called upon to
preside over you as your temporary chair
man and l thank you most sincerely Pr
that honor. We will now proceed to the
business of the convea ton"
ID. S. Dorm, in brief speech, nominated
Andrew j. Branch for temporary secre-
tary. He eulogized his ability, declared
that he had studied law under Mr. Estee,
and was a staDch and tried Republican.
Thomas 3. OBrien seconded the nomi-
nation OF Mr.. Branch. He was elected by
reclamation.
w. 5. Duval moved that the chairman
appoint a committee on credentials, to
consist of one delegate from each assem-
bly, district and a chairman. 1t was
adopted. The chairman declared recess
of ten minutes pending the appointm
of the comm ittee.
Following the recess the chairman made
a short speech insisting upon order. His
voice seemed weak, and one of the dele
gates in the rear shouted "speak louder"
Chairman Wait took glass OF water and
announced the following as the committee
on credentials:

OneVentful and Orderly Session of
Republican Delegates at Odd
Fellows Hall.

That part of the Republican party which
did not bolt the primaries began its con-
ventiOn in Odd Fellows Hall yesterday
afternoon.
The 245 Burns delegates sat solemnly
together TO name ticket for the Republi-
cans Of the city 10 vote for at the election
November 6.
Colonel Burns says they may nominate
whomever they choose, that he has can
dldates and only asks that good men be put
up. Such display of magnanimity on the
part Of boss. after working for weeks TO
pack a convention, has never been heard
Of. and doesn't now deceive anybody. In
some of the districts. the Republicans re-
fused to have anything to do with the pri-
maries because Buras named all of the
election officers and slated the tickets to
suit his own interests. 10 the Forty-frst,
for instance, a club composed of go voters
bolted because Burns would give it repre-
sentatiOn neither on the election board nor
in the convention. In the Thirty-eighth and
several others where there were factions he
prevented splits by what purported to be
compromise This was an arrangement
by which Burns named two delegates, the
Burns faction named half of the remainder,
and the opposition the others. In a dele
cation of fourteen. that would give Burns
eight and the opposition six.
This little plan and the solid delegations
from the districts where the opposition
bolted gave him practically everything,
leaving the other side a cOrporaPs guard.
OF course there was no object in this.
That is what Colonel Burns says in effect
when he asserts that the convention may
choose its own candidates. Well, the con-
ventiOn met and held its first session.
l. was a spiritless affair. The Odd Eel
lows Hall was found amply large for the
outsiders who cared to attend. Some at
tempt had been made at decoration. REQ,
white and blue bunting had been draped
around the gallery. with pictures of NJ. NJ.
Es tee between the droops, and American
flags fell In folds from the flies above the
stage. The programme heretofore an
nounced was carried out to the letter. The
chairman of the county committee called
the delegates to order a temporary
chairman was appointed in the person of
James Alva Watt, who announced a COM
miItee on credentials. The committee re-
ported in ten mlnutes-it could have done
it: a once but the form had to be gone
through with-and then time was given
the chairman 10 select committees on per-
Inanent organ cation and platform and
resolutions, which had already been
chosen.
After this the convention adjourned
until this evening at O'Clock.
The committee on resolutions met imme-
diateiy after the session of the general
s. body and after organizing, with Colonel
JOHN P. Jackson as chairman, adjourned
until this evening.
The committee on organization an
nounced that it would meet at o'clock 10
the evening.
Under the plan mapped out by Colonel
Burns. the convention will adjourn to-
night until Friday night, in order, as be
says, to give the people chance to select

"PRELIMIN ARIES" ONLY.
Burns Convention Committee Sub.
mitS Its Amended Programme,


The committee on permanent organiza-
ton and order of business of the Repub-
llcau municipal convention held an execu-
tive session last night in Odd Fellows
Hall. Its methods were decidedly secre-
live. for after adjournment the chairman
said that nothing defnits had been done
and only "prelimnaries' were discussed
Wendell Easton entered the meeting
room with package of typewriter papers
in his pocket containing the programme
These were scrutinlzed by Marcus ID.
BorucK. James Alva Watt, CASTOR Ashe
and few others before the meeting was
called to order.
One sheet contained the programme of
organization, another the order of bust
ness. while there were several likely
names on a third sheet for sergeani-at-
arms.
Easton announced that as matters of a
personal nature would be discussed he
considered it advlsab Bile to holi an execu-
tive session. This gentle hint was quickly
caught by CASTOR Ashe, who moved that
the newspaper representatives be ex-
cluded. The motion was carried aud the
doors were closed against the dear public.
For two hours the committee talked
about "preliminaries." The names Of
thirteen delegates were mentioned for
sergeaDt-at-arms. No action was taken on
any particular one, however.
Then The committee adjourned 10 meet
this evening for the purpose of voting on
''prelimmaries."
Immediately the committee men left the
hall EastoD, Watt and Boruck fastened
to the Baldwin Hotel. Othtr members
followed. but got no farther than the main
Office, where they fingered to talk over
possible nominations. But the trusty
leaders passed upstairs. Colonel Burns
being apprised of what had taken oil ace
passed judgment upon the minutes of the
meeting and they will be adopted accord
ingly tonight, when the public will be
graciously given on account OF how "pre-
liminaries" were accepted at headquarters.

pains to see IL this statement was true.
We found on the contrary that the wealthy
real estate owner paid little more in pro-
portion TO the value of his property than
the poor man."
Only in one instance did the committee
find property which they considered too
heavily taxed.
There are certain people," said Mr..
Reynolds in his report, ''who claim that
tain churches that a good deal of that
property escapes just taxation

show upon the assessment roll, but he

The Times says Of the treasury
status:
During the first third at the
month of April the expenditures
have outrun the receipts at a rate
indicating a net deficit for the
month of about S1O,OOO,0OO. The
gold reserve has been maintained
at very nearly the level OF April l,
having fallen off but $4,000, a re-
suit largely due to the wholesome
effect Of the Bland bill veto. But
the course of the general business
of the Treasury is far from satlsfac-
tory and is not likely to improve
until definite action has been had
upon the tariff bill. No one car
deny that business revival is vel
started, that the tide has distinctly
turned. The only element Of un
certainty is in Washington. Tha
ought to be removed as promptly a
possible. The Treasury requires il
because revenue from duties vii
not come in until duties are fixed
But the interests of the whole coun
