SnOulu tne QeleSateS from tne Inlru
and Fourth districts be recognized by
the national convention, it is more than
probable that John d. Spreckels, who
was elected national committeeman,
may be succeeded in that position by
another Republican. At the Sacramento
meeting there were ten national dele
gates, a quorum, present. With two
other delegates from the Third and two
from the Fourth district. a reversal Of
the action would be probable. The war
is n merry one and the end is not yet.
The SpreckelS congressional cOnVen-
tions of the Fourth and Fifth San
francisco districts, which adjourned at
Sacramento to the call of chairmen. will
not be called together to nominate con-
gressmen until after the national con-
vention at st. Louis.
The state convention of the Populist
party will meet in Sacramento to-
morrow, and the Populist work
ers are now busily engaged in
preparing for the event. The
convention will be composed of
elect thirty-nine delegates to the Popu-
list national convention, to be held in
st. Louis on July 22. and also nine presi-
Dental electors The convention is also
empowered under the call to nominate
congressman in the several districts,
put there seems to be a general under
standing that this will not be DONE 1t
IL understood that the convention will
name United States senator for whom
Populist legislators will vote in case of
their election. Thomas V. Gator Is said
to have no opposition for this honor

at san francisco will complete it's club
enrolment tomorrow night and hold its
primary on May 29th. The Indications
are that the Buckley wing will not be
able to break into the convention, al
though they are making every effort to
DO so. They have not as yet been able
TO md Democrat who will consent
to act as their candidate for chairman
OF the convention.
Elections have been held in San Diego.
Sutter, Colusa. Glenn and Humboldt
counties, which have returned thirty
four anti-Buckley delegates. These, to-
Sether with the ISL delegates from San
Francisco, assure the anti -Buckleyites n
Tying wedge Of 1876 delegates up to date,
and with these as nucleus it is doubt
ful If they even permit the Buckleyites
to tread the sawdust of the convention
hall 1t is considered that Frank Gould,
Chairman of the state central committee
will be chairman of the convention. For
delegates at large, ex-Congressman Tom
Geary, ex-Mayor E. B. Pond, w. w.
Foote. Senator White and b. D. Murphy
are being urged. The county central
committee of this county has as yet
made no efforts toward calling a primary

the Buckleyites expect to get a great
deal of their strength. Among the can
didates for delegates to the national
convention In the first district are Harry
Wise of Marin county, who is a son of
Collector of the Port John NJ. Wise Of
San Francisco, and DR.. Nutting of Sis

In the first district an effort is being
made to induce Tom Geary to run for

no opposition to Judge Mcguire.
