SACRAMENTO, Call, Aug. 1.-THE
Republican County Convention has fin
ished its labors, the delegates have dis
persed to their homes, the defeated aspir.
ants have thrown aside their aspirations,
and Frank Daroux has fully exemplified
to the small fry of the uptown push
that what they don't know about running
the primaries of the Second Ward, even
with all the odds in their favor, would fill
book.
"For the first time in thirty years OF
political life," SAID an old Republican war
horse to-day, II have seen one man die
tate to an entire convention that his dele
CATION should be seated, even when it ap-
peared before that convention without a
sign of or credential."
Had Frank Rhoads, that SCARED
veteran of many a political cam mpaign,
entered the lists against the victor, or had
Farmer" Cavanagh forsaken his hoplands
and garden "sass" the result might have
been different. As 1t was they seemingly
kept in the background, and Daroux is
still member of the County Central Com
mittee, still the king of the Second Ward.
A committee of five was appointed
to select twenty-five delegates to the
Congressional convention, which meets
in the Capitol building tomorrow,
and the nominations for candidates
for the various officers were taken
up. AS these offices were in nearly every
instance held by Republicans the action
was really the Endorsement OF the incum-
bents.
The exception to this rule was in the
nomination of William Lam phrey for
County Clerk, and the nomination of
George c. McMullen for Coroner.
When it came to the nomination of a
city Justice of the Peace, Robert T. Devlin
named Lincoln White. There was no op-
posing candidate and Whites nomination
was made unanimous.
The committee which had been ap-
pointed to select twenty-five delegates to
the Congressional convention reported the
following names, which were ratified by
the convention:
Twentieth Assembly District-D. Falconer,
Ben Welch, H. w. Johnson, Joseph Steffens,
stephen Uren, William NJ. Petrie and George
K. Rider.
Twenty-flrst Assembly District-W. D. Stalker,
w. r. Jones, NJ. Z. Horniein. Mat Flynn, C. T..
Jones, w. H. Hanlon and J. H. hatcher.
Twenty-second Assembly District-William
Johnston, 7. C. Perkins F. H. Harvey, C. L.
Ecklon, w. W. Greer, M. B. Coon and Charles
Rumon.
These delegates favor Grove L. Johnson.
On motion, Chairman Berkey appointed
the following com mittee to manage the
partys finances in the county during the
campaign: J. o. Coleman, G. w. Lorenz,
G. K. Lipman, NJ. J. Dillmam and William
Lambert.
William Sims was nominated by accla-
nation for Assem- blyman from the
Twentieth Assembly District; Scott Ennis
captured the nomination in the TWENTY
first and William E. Lovdal in the Twenty
second.
For Supervisor from the Second District,
J. w. Todd, the incumbent. was named
Third District, Flood Y. Flint; Fourth
District, William Curtis.
The closing act of the convention was
the following resolution, which was
adopted:
Resolved. That we are in favor of the funding
of the debt due the United States from the
Pacific railroad companies upon terms
equitable TO both parties to the contract.
The course pursued by the members of
the Republican Convention has been
watched with the keenest interest by the
local Democracy, which has fused with
the Populists. 1t is said that Gillis Doty
will receive the fusion nomination for
Slate Senator; Add G. Hinkson, Mat +.
Johnson and Joseph Hughes for Superior
Judges. although the Populists express a
decided liking for Judge McKune, and he
may be listed instead of one of the other
candidates For the Assembly NJ. ]. Cur
tbs from the Twentieth, Henry Brown in
the Twenty-first and Lem Lansbrough
from the Twenty-second are likely TO be
named. Tom Johnson and Dave Ahern
are aspirants for Sheriff, William Boyne
for County Clerk.
