as suggested by Mr.. Conklin. Several
other delegates spoke on the matter
Some favored the report others wanted
it rejected so far as ward councilmen
are concerned.
Mr.. Brooks again took the floor and
appealed for fusion. He said the Demo-
cracy had the best Of the deal.
Mr.. Trask said If the report Is upset
the chances are that fusion would be
killed Let the convention act as patri-
OTIS His remarks were received with
cheers. Calls of question, question"
were made.
C. C. Wright referred tt the hard work
done by the committee. The report must
be accepted as whole or rejected.
Colonel Messmore was opposed to the
report.
J. F. Humphreys wanted fusion and
argued for harmony and the adoption Of
the report.
VIM. Crawford of the Second ward
wanted the wards to control their own
affairs.
Judge Guthrie here took the chair and
tried to hold down the convention. A
dozen delegates were on their feet all
wanting to be recognized. The delegates
of the Sixth ward were particularly
strong aginst fusion on councilmen.
Confusion instead of fusion now reigned
Burdette Chandler said he did not
want to be gagged by the calls of the
previous question. He got the floor. He
was opposed to this Swallowing pro-
cess"
At this juncture a committee Of one
from the Populist convention appeared
and asked to be heard.
B. F. Land of the Populist convention
was introduced to the convention by
Judge Guthrie and said:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen Of the
Democratic convention: Twas sent hero
as a committee of one to report that
there has been a committee of nine ap-
pointed by tho Peoples party convell-
ton and they hope you will DO the same
to confer with them Immediately. That
is all have to say" (Cries Of What
for-what for?")
A motion was made that the chair ap-
point a member from each ward to con-
fer with the Populists. An amendment
was made that the ward delegates select
their own men. The original motion was
carried and the chair named the follow
ing: First ward. F. nj. Keach: Second
ward. George Relzer; Third ward. ]. B.
Millard Fourth ward. J. Marion Brooks;
Fifth ward Mr.. WilhartitZ: Sixth ward

ward, Mr.. Collins.

THE FUSION REPORT.
There Was Some Trouble and the Result
Was New Committee.

D. K. Trask, the chairman of the fu-
sion committee, made report, the SUBJ
stance of which has already appeared in
The Herald, making the disposition of
the offices as previously outlined.
Over the fusion on the general city
ticket there was no trouble, but over
fusion on counciimen there was decid-
ed scrap.
The sixth ward Democrats wanted
that nomination for their party.
An amendment was offered by Mr..
Conklin and seconded to strike out all
reference to ward nominations and in
sert instead: "And we recommend that
all ward conventions confer with the
ward conventions of the Peoples party
in their respective wards, and where
possible, agree upon union candidates
for councilman and school director"
It was moved that the report be adopt
ed Mr.. Young made motion to lay on
the table and made speech In support
of his motion. He wanted this conven-
tion to appoint a committee to make a
new deal.
Mr.. Marsh rose to question Of privi-
lege. He said that he was partly re-
sponsible for the appointment of the
fusion committee. He did the best he
could in the matter for the best interest
of the Democratic party.
M. T. Colline next got the floor. He was
one of the members of the committee on
fusion. The members had worked on
the matter for five afternoons and five
nights They had labored for the best
interests of the party. he urged the re-
port be adopted. For the success of the
whole ticket fusion should go through.
Mr. Conklin was not opposed to fusion;
but it is out of the province of the city
convention to tell what shall be done in
the matter of ward candidates. He rec
commended that ward delegations confer
with similar delegatioNSof the Peoples
MI. Brooks said the whole report must
be adopted or rejected. Amendments
could not be amended.
Ariosto McCrimmin wanted the report
adopted. To reject it threatened the
success Of the whole ticket.
Judge Guthrie wanted the report sent
back to tho committee for amendment

The men to whom this communication Is
addressed may be divided into two great
classes. They are all sick, in both classes.
But those in the first class are hardly
aware of the fact. At all events. they do
not realize how seriously sick they are, or
are going to be if they do not take pormpt
steps to arrest the disease that is slowly
and surely fastening itself upon them,
to blight their lives by barring them from
all social and domestic happiness, and
running their business prospects. and ulti-
mately, II relief is not obtained. causing
their death. The other class is composed
of those who have gone through all the
horrors of disease and have given up hope.

is to see the city own water plant suf-

it is the proper thing for the city to con-

Hundreds of our fellow citizens, VINO

Brief Notes on the Gathering and Mat.
ters Appertaining to It

Henry Dockweiler was city eifgiHe0t
when Figueroa street was improved ana
made boulevard. 1t was under his ad-
ministration that all this work was
done, and his friends think it would be
a good idea to have another such ad-
ministration of the city engineers Office
as Mr.. Dockweiler gave the municipali-
ty during the four years he so efficient
ly filled it.
Hon. C. C. Wright took a prominent
part in the convention yesterday. Mr..
Wright will take the stump and tell the
people something about municipal ow.
| nership before the campaign closes.
Isadore Dockweiler makes an excel.
ent presiding officer He Is absolutely
fair and impartial in all his rulings, and
no complaint can be found by any one.
Mr.. Dockweiler has made for himself
many friends in acting as he did In
! handling the convention.
Judge w. A Ryan has about as many
| friends in a Democratic convention a.
''any man in town." as we'll as on the
outside, among the people generally.
When he took the platform yesterday af-
| ternoon he was given an ovation. Judge
! gentlemen, who is fully appreciates
! wherever he is known.
| The delegates from the First ward
! have caucused and decided to nominate
+. M. Nickel for city council.
The committee of nine members, one
| from each ward, appointed by the DEM
ocratic and Peoples party convention
yesterday afternoon to decide certain
| allotments In the division of the offices,
held a meeting, which resulted In CIV
| ing to the Democrats the First, Third,
i Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh
wards for councilmen, and the Second,
| Eighth and Ninth to the Populists. The
board of education was given to the
Populists in the First, Sixth and Sew
| enth wards and all the others to the
! Democrats. The motion was made and
carried that the report of the commit
| tee must be accepted as a whole and
without change in any respect, or

a candidate the name Of DR.. ]. J. Choa!e
was presented

a candidate the name Of DR.. j. ]. Choa.e
was presented.
He received large vote in the conven-
tion, for he is man who has no enc
mics and thousands of friends. The
forces in the convention supporting Mr.
Snyder were the friends of DR.. Choate,
but at the eleventh hour they could not
desert the candidacy of the man who
had borne the brunt of the battle, upon
whose shoulders had fallen all of the
, weight of bitter and long contested
fight with the allied villains referred
to.
To have deserted Mr.. Snyder at such
time would have been the basest
treachery. Right glad would many Of
the men who voted for Mr.. Snyder
been to cast their ballot for DR..
j. ]. Choate under any circumstances
other than those that arose in the con-
vention yesterday.
The Snyder men stood firm and true.
They voted for Snyder and they nomi-
mated him. Before the result of the
vote was announced the name of DR..
Choate was withdrawn and the nomina-
tion OF Mr.. Snyder was made by accla-
nation.
To DR.. J. ]. Choate great honor and
credit is due. 1t must be confessed
that the strongest kind of pressure
from sincere friends was brought to
bear upon him to consent to become q
candidate at the eleventh hour He alb
solutely refused and stood by his ini-
tial declaration. His name was pre-
sented but it was without his consent
or approval
The platform which the convention
adopted is the strongest declaration for
reform. for municipal ownership AMI
for the people that was ever put forth
by political party in this city. Every
voter should read every line and para
graph in 1t. Upon this platform the
party will go before the people with an
assurance of almost certain success.
In the platform every question is COW
cred in unmistakabe language. There
can be no doubt of the position the party
assumes on any issue.
The question of fusion will be finally
settled on Monday. when the conven-
tion reconvenes. 1t is in the hands of
new committee appointed by the con-
vention itself. The sentiment is united
ly in favor of fusion on the municipal
ticket. Fusion on councilmen is a mat
ter not so easily determined. There is
a hitch In the Sixth ward where the
Democrats desire to run a man. Than
fusion will be accomplished there is n !
doubt. unless the allied villianies get
to work in the Populst convention and
prevent it.
The Democrats are willing to fuse on
fair and equitable basis. and unless
the Populists agree thereto there will
be no fusion. If fusion should be de-
feated 1t would be a victory for the
water company, and that is what they
are now striving to accomplish

GREAT ENTHUSIASM
Mr.. Snyder Comes Before the Conven-
tion and Makes Speech

Then there were loud cries for Snyder.
The gentleman was not in the hall, but
he was soon found, and when he entered
the applause was deafening. The del
egates and spectators participated with
all the vigor they possessed. They
cheered and cheered again and again.
When quiet was restored Mr.. Snyder
advanced to the front of the stage and
upon being presented by Chairman
Dockweiler. he spoke as follows:
Mr.. Chairman, Delegates and Fellow
Citizens: To say that I appreciate the
high honor which you have conferred
upon me Is to express it mildly. thank
you for the compliment you have paid
me and shall endeavor to manifest my
feeling, If the opportunity Is given me,

Gentlemen, let US first elect William

Charles A. Barlow. Then, when that
duty is performed, we will, after the Sd
of next November. proceed to our city
campaign, the watchword being munich
pal ownership, reform in all branches OF
the city government, and the election OF
the entire Democratic city ticket.
Again thanking you, gentlemen. for
the honor you have conferred. I will now
leave you to your deliberations. We
will meet many times during the cam
paign, and 1 hope and trust that all Of
us will be found laboring for municipal
reform, city ownership Of the water
works, and the election of the entire

tom, not forgetting the supreme i'm
portance of electing Democratic coun-
Gil. Gentlemen, thank you.
