a certain adroitness, audacity and
luck have enabled Gov. Tillman to pull
up all right on his pins; even where he
has created by his own blunders awk-
ward conditions, so far he has been

field. In December Captain J. Gary

The Straightout Convention which
met In Columbia on the 18th instant
did it's work we'll. The time will come
and that very soon, when the great
majority OF our people will thank those
who were|feaders of the movement
Sthathsought about that result. Hon
est men all over the State, who are
democrats at heart, are sensible that
their leaders have placed them before
the country in false and contradictory
attitudes. The large body of our SEN
sible farmers have been honest and
are honest in their belief that there
has been and Is crying necessity for
reform in the administration of our
governmental affairs both State and
national. They might as we'll under
stand nov that that necessity will con-
tinuea as long as men manage the affairs
OF government. They now appreciate,
or the bulk of them, that they have
acted and followed the teachings Of
leaders who adroitly organized them
under names and on platforms which
they knew could not be enacted into
law and which now these leaders aban-
don except in name. They see plainly
that these leaders who suggested the
~sub-treasury, government railroad
ownership, otc., have abandoned them
utterly and that at this juncture they
make no pretense of reform except what
is promised by the Democratic platform.
Sensible men appreciate that all of
Ocalaism, with its overmastering fede-
raj, republican, radical, centralizing
tendency, utterly destructive OF demo-
cratic principle, has been repudiated
by oil who have the least shadow of
claim to be known as democrats. Half
info ned men in this State now see
tho. Vheso ofice-seeking demagogues,
especially lawyers, whO have been so
onward to swallow McCune's Ocala-
SIN, have abandoned every splinter of
its shattered platform, except silver
free and unlimited, at the ratio of six
teen to one. While they have been
fooled they nov know that the silver
question Is q democratic issue on
which Democrats are divided, North,
South, East and West; Bland of Mis-
souri,, and his great following, the
staunchest Of democrats, standing by
silver against other great leaders.
Wherever there are intelligent Ocal-
Mites they know that the leaders in
this State have been traitors to them
or they would have led them manfully
into battle like honest mon, as the
real Ocalaites In all the States, from
Maine to Texas. They are asking,
therefore, why the Democratic party
in this State has been divided in twain.
And they answer-that Tillman, Evans,
Irby and others of that ilk, as Pope,
Mayfeld, Gary and other lawyers OF
the EMovement might wallow
in official fat. The people who have
been SO miserably cheated and misled
into false hopes will thank the leaders
of the lates movement eliminating in
the convention of the 18th, for separat-
Ing the true from the false, for ex-
posing the miserable designing office
seeking fraud, for snatching the mask
from the miserable impostor, for lift
ing the lions skin from the shoulders
of the Drawing ass.

mocracy thinks 1t Is going to accomplish
at the Baldwin Theater during the remain
der Of this week.
The convention will assemble to-day at
IL o'clock. That much has been decided.
The talk of the inadequate size of the thea
ter has all been dropped. The delegates
will convene there for the regular business
of the body, but they have to look else
where for quarters in which to transact
outside business. B'nai Birth Hall is at
the service of the members. Rooms have
also been taken in the Bald win Hotel for
political uses, and all over the city there
will be meeting places for the caucuses of
the various delega tons.
1t will be convention of caucuses and
adJournments. because the men who have
come in from the counties are unpledged,
and. as rule. have put off deciding upon
what they will do until they could form
some idea of the strength of the candidates
whose names are to be presented.
W. W. FoOte, Barney Murphy, Games H.
Budd aud w. ID. English have opened
headquarters at the Baldwin, and all day
yesterday they were besieged. The State
Central Committee rooms. where creden-
tials and tickets to the theater were being
issued. were also crowded and Tom Heay
and his corps of assistants were very busy
men.
Chairman Max Pepper had many con-
ferences and displayed his really remark
able capacity for answering questions. He
is not cutting as big figure in this con-
vention as a chairman of a State Central
Committee might be expected to cut, and
the chief reason for that is that the coun-
try delegates have learned that Mr.. Pepper
cannot hand over the city delegation to
anybody for any purpose. The chairman
is simply doing his duty in managerial
capacity. and it must De said that be is
attending to it closely.
But as for managing San Francisco's 156
votes, nobody seems to be doing that.
The delegation appears to be a free-lance

night, and there were many changes in
the situation in the various contests. The
aspirants were not very numerous, and
the principal interest conferred upon the
gubernatorial issue.
The boom for Budd showed increasing
strength during the afternoon. but a pow
erful opposition was DEVELOPED in the can
didacy of Barney Murphy OF San Jose.
Fresno County caucused early in the day
and decided to throw its delegation for
Budd. Il was announced. also. that the
Contra Costa delegation would vote for
the candidate from San Joaquin. The
fact that Jackson Temple and Z. B. Pond
had both stated that their names would
not come before the convention led the
followers of Budd to redouble their efforts
Budd established headquarters adjacent
to the Democratic committee-room and
began his active canvass for the candidacy.
Early in the day report was circulated
that he had decided 10 withdraw from the
fight. This rumor was declared to be
without particle of foundation.
Now that know that jackson Temple
is not willing TO have lis name presented
to the convention l am in the fight to STAY.
and believe | shall win," said Mr.. Budd.
st would be unwise for me to state lust
at present what my strength Is, but be-
lieVe l have sufficient following in the
various delegations to insure my nomina-
tion."
F. 81. Gould Of Stockton. ex-Speaker of
the Assembly, who is making Budd's fight,
declared that his candidate would be
nominated on the first ballot He did not
take the Murphy boom seriously and ap-
peared to disbeieve that the man from
Santa Clara had developed sufficient
strength to cripple Budd's chances.
Stories of the most contradictory sort
were circulated in regard to Barney Muir

ed that he was candidate. just as posi-
lively asserted that he was not. while a
number of theorists had various solutions

nominate the best ticket possible. We are
anti-monopo and anti-railroad. There
are no h0bOs in our ranks. When the
decent Democrats of Sacramento revolted
against the old liners and their ways we
organized. called convention and nomi-
mated and elected our ticket. We were
beaten at the primary election, as they got
their hobos from saloons to vote and keep
away the respectable element. We elected
SteinmAn for Mayor against W. +. Knox,
their candidate and Repub nominee.
They worked with Frank Rhodes. the Re-
publican boss. and under Russ Stephens,
who is we'll known to be an out and out
railroad man. If the committee on Gre
dentials should vote against us we have
enough friends in the convention to reject
the committees report and take up our
case. L believe We will have generous
support"
j. NJ. Sullivan. one of the regulars. who
was busy talking up his side, went into a
long history of the trouble. which is a
counterpart of the Democratic split in San
Francisco two years ago. He claimed that
the reorg6nlzers are simply "bolters from
the party"
q They have no reason to make charges
against u.s." he continued. I'VE beat them
on every Issue that came up. Our fight
here is on the square. as all we ask is a
square deal. 1t is either rule or ruin with
the others. who are only boilers. Our
delegation is all here making a fight to
get into the convention. but we are not
tied up for any candidates. II we get

Del Vale of Los Angeles had a conference.
and it was Immediately rumored that he
had consented to accept. Mr.. Pond was
almost as strong in his denial as Judge
| Temple.
Il do not want the office. 1 am not a
candidate. My name will not come before
the convention" said Mr.. Pond. sit is
annoying TO me to have the press continue
10 mention me as a candidate when my
name will not be presented. OF course, l
| appreciate the honor that goes with the
mention of nv name, but it is altogether
unauthorized"
Friends of ex-Mayor Pond, however. still
discuss his candidacy and believe that il
the convention were to tender him the
nomination by reclamation he could not
well refuse 10 accept.
A little extract from one OF Hunting
toms letters was being used yesterday
against Budd's candidacy. The paragraph
is as follows:
There will be no Government aid
granted this session, and if we can get the
II. and I. Central to stand with us and
offer 10 build line through, we to build to
E Paso from the west aud they from the
east, think SCOTS tlSh will be cooked.
Bud is doing good work in the Gulf
States"
Upon this paragraph enemies OF Budd
claimed that he was working with the rail-
road. His friends point out the fact that
the letter bears date of November Is, 1875,
years before Budd went TO Congress, and
but two years after his graduation from
the State University. and one year after
his admission to the bar, and that the
Budd referred to was not James Budd of
San Joaquin. When asked about it Mr..
Budd said: 81 was never in the Gulf
States but once, and shat was when [
visited the New Orleans Exposition in
1884 or 1885. ten years after this letter was
written. The letter does not refer to me
or TO any relative of mine. The Budd
mentioned in the letter is a total stranger
to me-"
Last night another factor showed in the
fight. That was the candidacy of Con-
gresham James Mcguire for the guberna-
torial nomination. Latterly Mcguire has
been regarded as out of the fight. 1t has
been pointed out by leading Democrats
that in their opinion the chance for carry
ing the Congressional district for the
Democratic party was much better than

TOT the appearance of his name in the
held. During the earlier portion Of the
day Mr.. Murphy avoided the politicians,
and that increased the curiosity of the
delegates and gave rise to much specula-
ton.
The Bndd faction declared their disbe-
lief In his candidacy. 1t was asserted by
SOME that the mention of the name of
Barney Murphy was the result of plot
formed by the Alameda delegat ton to re-
move dangerous rival to w. w. Foote in
the race for United States Senator. 1t
was suggested that if Murphy came be-
fore the convention for Governor, Foote
could ask the Endorsement of the conven-
ton for the United States Senatorship,
and that having been an aspirant for one
office before the convention Mr.. Murphy
could not then consistently ask for the
honor which Mr.. Foote covets.
Another theory was that Murphy's
name was being used as a bluff behind
which the opponents of Budd could
gather sufficient strength to combine on
some other candidate, Judge E. w. Nc
Kinstry for instance.
The definite fact that Murphy was
" 20 hOA huOWu uulIl -
o'clock, when w. d. English said: "Mr.
Murphy has decided to allow his name to
come before the convention. He is an
avowed candidate for the nomination for
Governor, and he is in the race to win"
There was a hurrying and scurrying
among the delegates when this statement
was passed around. and the Murphy boom
took a sudden jump forward. To add to
the statement of Mr.. English, John Boggs
stated that he had been told by brother
of Barney Murphy that Mr.. Murphy had
decided to enter the race for the nomina.
tion.
Judge Temple has decided to open head
quarters. it is said, and will use them to
give emphasis to his denial that he is not
a candidate for Governor. although be
might not refuse another nomination, that
for the Supreme bench. He stated posi-
lively that he is not candidate for Gov
ernor.
II do not know why there should be any
doubt about the matter" said Judge Tenn
pie when asked if he would accept the
nomination for Governor. 81 say now, as

would naturally prefer the nomination for
the Office for which he had the best chancs
of success at the polls.
Maguire's friends declare that he il In

will be presented to the convention and

More than this. his supporters will de.
mand that the delegates from the distri cts

Barney Murphy kept discrestly awav
