The Wedding Ceremony Took
Place the Present Month
in Paris.
THE BRIDES HOME IN OAKLAND
Her Sister, Miss Matte Covell, Says
Publicity Has Been Avoided as
Far as Possible.

L. F. Auzerais has again married. This
time the young sculptor mas chosen for
his bride a Miss Covell of Oakland. The
young lady is trained nurse, well known
in the city across the bay.
The wedding ceremony occurred in
Paris during the present month and was a
surprise TO the relatives of both the par
ties. The particulars cleaned regarding
the ceremony are necessarily meager,
owing to the reticence of those who know
most about it.
1t will be remembered that after Au-
zerais' first wife obtained divorce from
him and married Hereward Hoyt their
troupe went to Alaska and made great
financial failure. 1t then returned to San
Francisco and Hereward took his wife
East. From time to time rumors are
waited over the Rockies that Mrs. Hoyt's
second marital venture, so far as incom-
patiDility of temperament is concerned,
has not been more successful than her
first.
Auzerais himself then went TO Paris,
where he has now astonished his friends
by remarrying That he believes mar
riage with actresses not successful ven-
ture is evidenced by his recent choice.

DISGRACEFUL SCENES ON THE
STAGE.
Kisses, Yells and an Attempt to Hurl
Speakers From the Platform Widen
Democracy's Fatal Feud.

It was the verdict of every spectator
that sew the disgraceful scenes enacted in
Sam Rainey's Democratic Municipal Con-
vention at Odd Fellows Hall last night
that no more disgusting chapter ever
came to light in the history of local
politics.
The conduct of the boss ana his hench-
men was such as to disgust the lovers of
fair play and widen the breach between
warning clans beyond all hope of repara-
tion. From start to finish the scenes
enacted were riotous, the slate was iron
clad and the programme cut and dried
from the outset. The chairman was DIR.
Ragan, who knew his slate we'll.
There was one noted exception. James
D. PheIan, who mas been disgusted ever
since he had seen the slate on Super
visors, developed strength enough to fore
stall the nomination of Rainey's hench-
men. He intimidated the boss and forced
a postponement of the nominations until
tomorrow night by refusing to run on the
same ticket with the chatteIs on whose
necks the unsavory Sam had placed ais
collars. He wanted to run the machine
himself.
There was nothing calm, deliberate or

only. They carried their point, refusing
to swell the sack of the bourbons.
After William Jordan's name was pro-
posed for Supervisor of the First Ward
there was an ominous silence, after which
motion was carried that the nomination
for Supervisors be postponed until
Wednesday night,
The chairman appeared confused; there
were calls for a division when the vote had
been taken; then there was pause, dur
ing which tile knowing ones gave the
wink which meant that King Rainey de-
sired postponement, and the motion
prevailed. Phelan had triumphed, but
the henc hmen were sullen and silent, all
the same.
r. L. Mann of the Thirty-fourth District
nominated John McGovern for County
Clerk, whereupon a voice cried out: 81

that aged Peter McArdle, a pale, thin man,
was rash enough to mount the rostrum.
Chairman Ragan recognized him, and Nc
Ardle said:
"FelIow- citizens. McGovern's shameful
disregard of all former pledges disqualifies
him for this honorable position, fo- -"
The speaker could go no further on ac-
count OF storm of catcalls and volley
of misses. There were cries of ''Sit
down, Whiskersp' sect onto your

like expressions. Then Sergeant-at-Arms
Kennedy, burly fellow with the physiog-
nomy of professional bouncer, mounted
the stage with the cat-like motion of an
acrobat. seized the aged orator by the
nape of the neck, and by a lower
hold on his garments was about to
hurl the would-be slate breaker from the
platform, whereupon Secretary Saulman
stepped in as referee and peacemaker and
prevented general fight, for delegates
were yelling, kissing, shaking their fists at
one another, pounding on chairs and
threatening to do violence.
Quiet was finally restored, whereupon
Captain John F. Foley arose to second
McGovern's nomination. He was hissed
at the outset, but he finally said: "Let Us
cease these disgraceful scenes, quit ouI
pickering and noisy fighting and get down
to work. l want to see no more such dis

McGovern's nomination was forced on
the noisy mob, much to the disg ust of a
large faction that felt almost angry enough
to bolt and leave the hall.

The Democratic campaign continues to
be conducted mainly at the expense of
the millionaire silver miners and by the
silver organization.
W. P. Lawlor, chairman of the Silver
campaign committee, believes in campaign
novelties and can afford them. The magic
lantern advertising men on Market street
find him their best-paying patron.
Lawlor has just found the first free
silver preacher whose interest in politics
has been announced and has hired Metro
politan Temple for him for Thursday
evening. He is Rev. Edwards Gator Davis,
the sensational young Christian minister
of Oakland
The Silverites have hired both the
Grove-street Theater ard Union Hall,
which was formerly Morosco's, for the
campaign. They will be used as head
quarters for free-silver workingmen's or
ganiza,ions and for workingmen's mass
meetings.
The silverites are expecting to send forth
quite horde of speakers soon. Most of
them will be Democrats well known in
former campaigns.
Congressman Mcguire will speak in Los
Angeles on the 30th inst, on his way home
from The East.

There was a great fuss over nominations

of 493 to 78. Curron of the Thirty-fifth
declined TO vote, saying: "She's all cut

nation was resented in noisy way by his
opponents.
DR.. Maximus Magnus was nominated
for Coroner before his opponents had a
chance 70 say Jack Robinson. 1t was then
that E. P. E. Troy took the platform and
com planned that there was no use to hope
to beat the slate. '..As who can do
nothing else / move we nominate for
Coroner the boss who owns US Sam
Rainey. He can run the Office as well
as he runs the convention" There were
Kisses and yells, and Troy fed from the
stage before the belligereEt sergeant-at-
arms could catch him.

Public Administrator without dissentins
voice, after which there was a call for
nominations for District Attorney. No
one responded. Then q voice cried, "Are
we waiting for the tip from RaineyP
Where is he?" Then the knowing ones
smiled and John F. Foley moved that the
matter be postponed until Wednesday.
The motion was carried, for SO Phelan
had commanded, and Rainey, fearing
trouble, had obeyed. The push was
disgruntled, and many said, "We won
do thing to that kid-gloved Jimmy when
we gets the chancel"
| William Asmussen was nominated for
Treasurer and Professor James H. Sim
mons of the Boys High School for Superin-
tendent OF Schools without hitch.
Delegate Hassett then moved that a
committee OF eighteen, in addition to the
chairman and secretary, be appointed to
select School Directors. The chair an

breach by omitting from the list the

The convention was now over, the push
had been partly thwal ted and greatly an
gered, and the breach between the Rainey
factions widened beyond hope of repara-
ton. 1t was freely rumored that Phelan
had demanded the right to name seven
Supervisors, and the men who trade in
corruption were so angry that they were
pale.

impressed the delegates of our late convention
that 1t resulted in his unanimous nomination

whereas, the said Murasky gave his word of
honor as man that ''if nominated he would
not be influenced by any man, set of men, or
organization, to decline the nomination which
ne was then seeking, and that he would not
consider himself man if he was guilty of such
action; and whereas, said Murasky to further

A BLOW AT MURASKY.

Their judicial Ticket.

their judicial Ticket.
The regular weekly meeting Of the gen.
eral committee of the Buckleyites at
headquarters last evening was big but
brief one. Many members of the faction
were out at the Populists' tent to see how
their fusion with the Pops was getting
along, and half of those who were at the
meeting wanted to go.
About all the business that Chairman
Rothschild and Secretary D. Nj. Gav1gan
had to direct was the settlement with
Frank ]. Murasky for having thrown
them down" and accepted a nomination
for Superior Judge from the Junta conyen-
ton.
At the time the Buckley convention was
in session Murasky's friends worked hard
to secure his nomination for the Superior
bench, and succeeded. Then the Junta
convention came along, and Murasky' s
political friends played for that nomina-
ton. AS the Junta resolved at the start
not to lndorse single candidate of the
Buckleyites, a resignation from that ticke :
was a requisite. Here was a dilemma.
and IN it the Murasky council decided on
the resignation, hoping to keep the other
nomination, too, by squaring things later.
During the time last week when the
judicial slate of the Junta was being made
up, Stephen V. Costello of the law firm of
Henley d Costello was certain of the
nomination, and he was on the slate until
P. M. OF the day when the nominations
were made. At that late hour Joseph E.
O'Donnell, Frank J. Smith and others in
terested In Murasky, succeeded in getting
him on the slate, and to make room for
him Costello was pulled down.
The Buckleyites instantly declared war
on Frank ]. Murasky, and they declared
that they wouldn't do a thing to him.
Smith, O'Donneli and others have for
days been making frantic efforts to square
the thing. Their success is indicated in
the following carefully prepared resolu-
tions, introduced last night by P. H.
Shanley and adopted with whoop:
WHEREAS, A declination of nomination for
superior Judge made by our late convention
has been received from Frank }. Murasky at
the command of the boss Of the Junta conven-
ton, whose nomination for the said office
Murasky has received and which was made
conditional upon the aforesaid declination
being forwarded to this committee; and

Phelan's Record on Silver and Art
StartleS the UnWashed.

Phelan's Record on Silver and Art
Startles the Unwashed.
From the developments of yesterday it
is apparent that the Democratic party of
San Francisco is hopelessly disrupted and
divided beyond hope of reconciliation.
1t was a busy day in the ranks of the
warning factions. The "bIind devil" of
the Bourbons, his Excellency Christopher
Buckley, honored the City with his pres
ence all day, deftly pulling wires and lay
ing plans to loot the City. The Democ-
racy's attack on the City treasury did not
end, however, with the Vaccinations of
the worthy Christopher, for the left wing
of the cormorants was under the general
ship of his Royal Majesty Samuel Rainey.
Conservative Democrats who have been
studying the situation with care lately
! have concluded that the Bourbons are
hopelessly divided; that the decent men
of all shades and colors of Democratic
belief are done with bossism, and that
their votes will probably relegate Buckley
and Rainey to the background for all
time.
The more minutely one studies the local
situation the more serious the various de-
fections become. There is large element
bitterly opposed to the candidacy of James
Phelan for Mayor, and several circum-
stances con tribute to the young million
aires unpopularity. At the outset he is a
''goldbug," and this makes him forbid
den fruit to the silverites of the Democ-
racy, who look upon any other Democrat
| than the 16 to / brand as worse than Judas
of old. As the days roll on the gold in
! lection of Phelan becomes more dangerous
i II
! grow more yoluble they grow more angry.
In the hearing of many crazy silverites
the mention of Phelan's name has already
become like a red flag in the sight of an
angry bull.
Another great point of objection 10
Phelan in the eyes of many is that he de-
c!ined to go to the Chicago Convention as
yeoman for his party. Many look upon
this as the objectionable SIN, and they
will remember Phelan in the booth at the
| solemn hour when the spirits of Just men
mete out equity to the erring.
The fact that Mr.. Phelan is a millionaire
art critic and connoisseur in matters liter
ary has allenated many voters from him
in the regions of dense and unchanging
Democracy. A canvass IN the thickly
populated Democratic precincts south of
Market, where "biled" shirt is crime
shows that ''de push' of the Bourbons
cannot swallow "de guy what wears kid
gloves"
insignificant as these objections may
seem in cold PRINT they are a potent indu-
ence in the realms of the Democracy. MIR.
Phelan begins to realize that he is re-
garded as man to be feared for his clot hes
his education and his manners. There is
rumor that Roosevelt, the purIst, is
Phelan's ideal and that he would do all in
his power to make the City as holy as the
silent cities OF New England, that he
would Roosevelt the town." and to the
average Democrat nothing could be mora
terrible than such a misfortune. The
masses are beginning to fear that Phelan' s
election would mean a long farewell to
side entrances and steam bear-calamities
that the Democrats will avert at any cost.
