CITY CLERK.
The convention renominated City
Clerk Charley Luckenbach by a unani.
nous vote, there being no other candi-
dates, and he was most enthusiastically
received when he appeared on the stage.
BOW WOW BOWERS.
AT this point the convention needing
some diversion Walter Moore suggested
that Bow Wow Bowers was present and
wanted to make some remarks; q whis-
pered consultation was held among a
few of the leaders, and on positive as
surances being given that he would not
talk the convention to death, he was
allowed to come forward.
Bowers antics on the stand are always
dlverting to the younger portion of an
audience, but terribly tiresome to their
turgid than usual and everyone breathed
a sigh OF relief when he got through.
BIG UPRoAR.
The convention went into ward con.
ventions for the nomination by the
wards of candidates for councilmen and
members OF the board OF educat ion.
Before the convention reassembled it
was known that big row was on hand
over the Eighth ward, which had nomi-
mated Charley Webber.
In order to get ready for what was
coming when Chairman Day called the
convention to order, Francis Thomas
moved that the wards report their nom
nations when called numerically, and
that the convention ratify or reject them
when offered.
The motion prevailed, and then MIR.
Francis offered the following resolution,
which was adopted
Resolved. That the name OF no person
recommended by the several ward con-
ventions be placed upon the certificate
of nomination OF the convention unless
the same be ratified bv the convention.
Then an air OF expectancy was OBJ
servable as the different wards an
nounced their selections, and the fun
began whom the Eighth ward was called
and the chair announced Charles +.
Webber as the choice of the ward for
council. He had been nominated by
the ward convention, receiving 15 votes
out of the delegation OF 23, there being
who voted against him and / ab-
sent. Those voting against him were !:
George E. Weise, G. E. de Camp, John
A. Kingsley, John Flood. A. @. Rivera,
George Beebe and l.. Levy.
''Mr. President" shouted r. A. Ling,
II want to rise in my place here, as
Republican. and ask that this convsn.
tion resent the insult that has been
offered to it, when it 10 asked to ratify
the nomination of this man, VINO has
been gambler all his life. l have the
manhood to beard the lion in bis den.
He is not even q member of the Eighth
ward, but lives in Santa Monica to my
knowledge. / ask the convention to re-
pudiate his nomination"
The convention went wild and 20 men
were ON their feet at once seeking recog-
milton, while the delegates of the Eighth
ward sat meekly in their seats, in the
midst OF the uproar, speechless.
Ed Meserve got the eye of the chair.
man and said that he had something to
say ~ a convention, which. up to that
moment, he had thought the best ever
in the CITY. He asked the delegates to
think of their homes, their wives and
children, and pause. He seconded the
motion.
DIR. MacGowan excitedly moved to
put the motion and that the nomination
be not ratified.
Mr. Booth OF the Eighth ward said the
doctor covered what he intended to cav.
Walter S. Moore made himself heard
in the confusion, and said the conyen-
tion had right to say who should be on
the ticket; that il the nomination YVES
not unanimously rejected it would mean
political death to many on the ticket.
and ne thought the motion should pre-
vail.
Francis Thomas frsntically shouted
that it was time the people OF Los An
geles should understand that the Re.
publican party does not carry the ''par.
aBte Webber."
The motion was put and was carried
by stentorian shout
There was an attempt to have the
nomination OF ]. @. McInerny for the

with Webber.
