THE SECOND DISTRICT.
Delegates and Senator Voorhees, and
Frank Ryan AIternates.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, May 5.-The Sec
ond Congressional District delegates met
in the Senate Chamber and called John F.
Kidder to the chair and Frank D. Ryan to
the secretary's desk. A committee on
credentials was appointed, consisting of
Tuttle of Placer, Mcbride of Nevada, Dray
of Sacramento, Irwin of Yuba and Bell of
Butte.
The contests in the Twentieth and
Twenty-frst Assembly Districts were con-
sidered during recess of the convention.
Shortly after noon the convention reas-
sembled. The com mittee on credentials
reported that as the contesting delegations
did not file a notice of protest within the
five days specified by the Republican State
Central Committee, that they had no
standing before the committee.
Judge Walling moved that the question
be referred back to the committee on cre-
dentials, with request that the merits of
the contest be inquired into. He did not
like decisions on technicaIity. He took
the position that the Republican State
Central Committee had nothing to do with
the subject.
Walling's motion was defeated and the
report of the committee adopted.
"a. IL. hcfiuShy Vi al pluc was dlAOWeu an
additional proxy as representative of AL
pine County. He therefore holds two
votes-one for the Assembly District and
the other for Alpine County,
Dray of Sacramento introduced the fol-
lowing, which was adopted unanimously
by rising vote:
Resolved, That the delegates selected by the
Second Congressional Convention of California

semble at St. Louis be and they are hereby in
structed to vote for and support William Nc
Kinley for nomination for President of the

fore the National Convention.
The convention then adjourned to meet
after the recess of the State Convention.

tion of Cuba.


tion of Cuba.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, May 5.-The Com
mittee on Resolutions worked until mid
night and then adjourned to meet early
Tomorrow morning.
The platform will be as long as it was
two years ago and embrace many subjects,
1t is known tonight that the committee
agreed to recommend a resolution favoring
the free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1. There was long dis
cussion On the silver question, but it does
not develop that there was opposition to
free coinage OF silver, but there was a wide
diversity OF opinion as to the exact word
ing OF the resolution and the manner of
expressing the sentiment of the commit
tee in favor of restoring silver to an equal
ity with gold in discharging public obliga-
tions.
The resolution as finally worded is q
direct demand for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver.
resolution was adopted indorsIng
Mckinley and directing the delegates to
be chosen by the convention to use all
honest means to secure his nomination.
The resolution in this respect is not as
strong as some of the members of the
committee sought to make it, but is even
stronger than others desired. 1t is regard
ed as a halfway ground between instruc-
ton and emphatic expression OF prefer
ence.
The woman suffrage plank goes farther
than any Republican convention in this
State has gone in favor of woman suffrage.
A plank on good roads, extolling the
benefit to the State which good highways
confer, was put in.
The recognition of Cuba and the annexa-
ton of Hawaii received the attention of
the committee.
The committee tonight did not take up
the subject of funding the Pacific rail-
roads debts. Some members say that an
anti-funding plank will be inserted before
the platform is reported to the conven-
ton, others have advised against the in
PRODUCTION OF the subject.
The committee agreed on plank against
undesirable foreign immigration and for
the protection of American workingmen
against pauper competition.
The improvement of the waterways of
California and National appropriations for
that purpose are recommended.
The strongest kind of protection plank,
for protection all along the line of State
and National industries, was adopted.
The chairman of the committee was
directed to withhold from reporters and
all others the proceedings of the secret
saSsinn

by two of the eight candidates upon the
opposing ticket.
All the evidence that could have been
brought to bear was presented before the
Fifth District Congressional Committee,
The evidence showed that there was stuff
ing and repeating, but that the contest
ants were represented in the primaries by
lot of notorious Democratic ballot box
suffers and repeaters with Democratic
challenger. named Jack Shea.
"If the other side did the stufing who
did the countingP" asked a committee
man.
Mr.. Watt explained that the count was
fair and that the report of the committee
would show it.
Judge Waldheimer, at 20 A. NJ, made
an impassoned speech charging Inspector
Ward with having allowed Jack Shea, a
Democrat, to vote at Republican pri-
mary.
J. T. Fields followed with an impas-
stoned fve-minute speech and the case
was submitted.
The Fortv-f fourth District was then taken
up, the contestants beng represented by
Mr.. Ruef. Several affidavits as to resi-
dence and other qualifications OF the con-
testants were read by Leon Dennery and
others OF the Forty first District.
John e. Richards called attention to the
report of the committee. He contended
that the question of the legality of the
action of the committee in removing Mr..
Dennery could cut no figure in the case.
After further remarks from Mr.. Watt
and others the committee took the matter
under advisement, and the matter OF the
Thirty-third District was taken up. ].
McGary of San Francisco spoke in behalf
OF the contestants, and submitted twenty
three afidavits.
At 2 A. NJ. the committee went into ex-
ecutive session.

A MURDERoUs ASSAULT.

Rev. James Tufts of MOnson, Mass, the
VIctim---He Formerly Lived In This
County.
Rev. James Tufts was assaulted near his
home at Monson, Mass, Saturday night.
The first blow which he received on the
back of the head knocked him down. He
shouted murder" and his assaiant struck
him three more blows, cutting gashes in his
scalp, but not rendering him unconscious.
Rising to his feet after the first blow Mr..
Tufts said to his assailant, "Don't murder
me; suppose you want my money and
will give it to you, passing out what change
he had in his pocket, amounting to less than
81. The highwayman then asked for Mr..
Tufts's purse. 1t happened that he had
two wallets, one containing s. bill and
another empty. Mr.. Tufts handed out one
and it was later found that it was the empty
one.
The ruffian then departed and Mr.. Tufts
was able to get home, but was covered from
head to foot with blood. A physician who
sewed up Mr.. Tufts's wounds said that his
injuries were serious but that he would
probably recover. Mr.. Tufts is "a years old.
He is a native of Wardsboro and has been
prominent educator for many years.
Many of the middle-aged residents will re-
member when he was a superintendent of
schools in this county. He has been prin-
cipal of the academy at Monson, and has
also conducted private school in that
town. The murderous attack upon Mr..
Tufts created intense feeling in Monson,
but the assailant escaped. He is supposed
to have been a tramp. No one in Monson
would perpetrate such an act, as Mr.. Tufts
is well known and greatly beloved by the
whole community
