committee to determine, and that he could
not speak for the committee. He made a
reply of similar import to the question as
to whether the club rolls would be re-
opened for additional members.
Isador Alexander of the Sacramento del
egation said that he and his colleagues
voted with the Junta because they saw
that the Junta had the upper hand. The
Sacramentans were chiefly interested in
getting the State convention in their city,
and they therefore voted with the bigger
crowd.
'The names of the Junta's 161 delegates
will be placed on the roll of the State con-
vention and they will be entitled to vote
Tor the temporary officers of the conven-
tion," added Mr.. Alexander.
Mr.. Alexander was asked as to whether
the State Central Committee interfered in
the faction fight between the rival Demo-
cratic organizations of Sacramento County,
the reorganized and the regulars, and he
replied that the State Central Committee
had referred the matter to the State con-
vention. Both delegations were kept off
the roll, but the committee on credentials
by vote of IA to 1 recognized the reor-
ganlzed wing, notwithstanding the fact
that it had nominated Republican for
Mayor
Mr.. Alexander is an appointee of Gov
ernor Budd and holds down fat berth in
VI
The regular Democracy ascribe their de-
feat to the Vaccinations of Governor
Budd. They say that he has been doing
and attempting to do politics in San Fran
cisco ever since his Inauguration and they
speak of him with the most breezy disre-
spect. They insist that he stands behind
Gavin McNab and pats that Draw Scot on
the back, the Governors intention being,
they say, to obtain control of the Demo-
cratic organizations throughout the State
in furtherance of his political ambition.
They point in proof of their statements to
the proxies held by the Junta at Satur-
days meeting.
The proxies held by Mr.. McNab were
eight in number, namely: R. P. Troy, at
large; A. F. Nelson OF Humboldt, J. E.
Parker of Modoc, A. l.. Shinn of Lassen, g..
J. Carpenter of Ell Dorado, T. G. Hogan of
Santa Clara, f. ]. Gross of Tuolumne and
A. E. Cochran of San Diego.
z. J. Shields of Sacramento, deputy in
the State Librarians office, held three
proxies and voted them. He is partisan
OF Governor Budd. John Markley, who
owes his position as Secretary of the State
Board of Examiners, is an appointee OF
Governor Bodd and voted three proxies.
The other proxy-holders were: C. L. La
Rue, l; John w. Mitchell. 1; J. A. Fenton,
/; j. W. Ferguson, 1 G. B. Stone. 1; J. d.
Coughlin, 1; r. B. Terry. 1 G.. r. B. Hayes,

M. J. Donovan, l.; F. II. Gould, 2; w. w.
Foote. 1; M. J. Laymance, 1, and W. a.

The Occidental Club was in state of
Indignation yesterday. The two promi-
nent events of the meeting were what
they termed the bulidozing tactics of
Chairman Gould and the McNab resolu-
ton. The opinion was generally ex-
pressed that the regulars should have left
the hall as soon as Chairman Gould had
violated parliamentary law by cutting off
Joseph Rothschild while he was yet oc-
cupying the floor. They said, that if this
bad been done the effect upon the country
delegates in the State convention would
have been better.
w. H Harrison, Chris Buckley's nephew,
was as non-committal regarding the future
tactics of the regulars as he was out
Governor Budd and the Junta.
"What is Jim Budd after?" he inquired
fiercely. "Does he want to be United
States Senator?"
Mr.. Harrison expressed the opinion very
forcibly to the effect that Judge j. F. Sui
livan and M. G. Hassett were being used
by the Junta as fgureheads for the cap
ture OF their following.
"Hassett lied when he denied that he
went over to Livermore to see Chris Buck
ley. He did go there to get Chris for Hin
ton. Hassett was to be Hinton's attorney.
Jim Budd Is. no good and Gould is no
better"
MIR. Harrison added that the regular
Democracy would pursue the even tenor of
their way and would send delegates to the
State convention. He insisted that the
country would give the regulars hearing
in the State convention, and he added that
twenty three country delegates had walked
out of the hall disgusted with the bulldoz-
ing m ethods of Chairman Gould.
