Nominee for City and County At
tOrney.

John r. Aitken, the regular Republican
nominee for City and County Attorney, is
a man deserving in special way the sup
port of the people of San Francisco. ne
is of the sofia native son, graduate of
the University of California and the
Hastings Law College, and, being a self
made man, his candidacy appeals strongly
to the people in his present canvass. He
was born in San Francisco March 81, 1854
Thrown upon his own resources at an
early age, by economy, industry and
perseverance he was enabled to earn q
livelihood, and by close application, at in
tervals in his employment, he managed to
acquire an education and prepare himself
to enter the University of California.
After pursuing the prescribed course of
study In tins institution he graduated and
entered the Hastings Law College. Upon
his admission to the bar he commenced
practice i'll San Francisco, where he re-
mained until the year 1887, when he moved
to San Diego and established himself in
that city.
In the south he was elected Superior
Judge, and while on the bench tried such
celebrated cases as the Sweetwater Dam
suit and many important irrigation con-
tests. He returned to San Francisco about
two years ago and resumed the practice of
the law. In 1886 he was candidate for
Justice of the Peace on the Republican
ticket and ran 5000 ahead of his ticket,
though the year was against him. From
the time he launched out for himself he
has been an ardent Republican worker.
Mr.. Aitken is past president of Mission
Parlor and a past grand trustee n. S. G. W.;
also noble past grand of San Diego
Lodge, /. o. o. F., and a member of Cali
fornis Commandery, Knights Templar.
In social, political and fraternal circles he
is very popular, which fact is borne out in
the warm congratulations rendered him
by his friends over his nomination.

Attorney.

chair without formality announced he had
appointed the following committee to Sc
lect candidates for the Board of Educa-
ton; Robert Ash, Robert Sahlein, John
NJ. Chretien, Martin Stevens, ]. AIva
Watt, c. G. Clinch, T. B. Riordan, James
Simpson, J. P. Stevens and George W.
Corey.
The work of nominating candidates was
then resumed, the nominations of the
Judges of the Superior Court coming up
first.
j. P. Stevens of the Forty-th rd District
nominated Judge Hebbard in an eloquent
speech eulogistic of his choice, and the
nomination was vigorously seconded by
p. a. Berserot.
Judge S. C. benson nominated Judge
John Hunt, describing him as man who
has helped to make the social, political
and judicial history of this City. HE is a
sure winner" said Judge benson. His
career has been such as to bring to him
the trust and confidence of the bar and
also the citizens Of San Francisco. He is
an every-time winner"
J. NJ. Chretien tried hard to second the
nomination of Judge Hunt, and struggled
with an almost complete lack OF voice,
making a neat and brief speech. By dint
of exertion and lemon juice he made him
self heard all over the house and was re-
warded with applause when he named
Judge Hunt.
Chairman Riordan said he would nomi-
nate but one candidate, and that only
through friendship running back for n
number of years. 1.-The man / wish to
nominate" he said, sis one whose knowl-
edge of criminal law is a household WORD
in San Francisco = Carroll Cook. Ap-
plause.1 He and L were schoolmates over
thirty years ago. We studied law together,
and ali through his professional career I've
been near him, and can say here tonight
that not one crooked thing can be laid at
his door. [Applause.] There are many
people in San Francisco who know that
there have been many poor devils charged
with some offense, and Carroll Cook, IL
there were any merit in their cases, de-
Tended them without fee or reward
The speaker concluded by referring to
the old galaxy of brilliant lawyers who
have passed away from San Francisco.
One of them was Elisha Cook, father OF
Carroll Cook, the worthy father of a worthy
son, and Carroll was the worthy son OF a
worthy father.
William II. Schooler of the Forty first
District seconded the nomination OF Car
roll Cook and eulogiZed him for his expe-
-r1ence and ability and said his name is a
household word.
By strong ma jority vote the nominal
ing speeches of candidates were limited TO
five minutes and this expedited matters
considerably.
Hugh w. Fraser of the Thirty-ninth
District named Chester K. Bonestell, say
ing that he is well known and popular.
Frank Powers seconded the nomination
of Boneslell.
L. Savage OF the Thirty-sixth District

protests from his trainer. He remained
off the track fifty-eighJ minuIes, which
lost him the race. He wanted to quit

soon induced TO again get on his wheel.

Gently was made professional got third
money, covering 462 miles and 567 yards.

you anything about him." he said, "I
want to say / was sent to jail for twenty
four hours by Judge Hebbard for con-
tempt. The gentleman / wish to nomi-
nate is the Hon. John T. Finn, who sat
four years on the Superior bench of San

to his ability as a lawyer you all know
that" He was Interrupted by cries of

you won't make q mistake"
Martin Stevens SAID: "The solid Thirty

The nominations were closed and the

The next business before the conven-

greeted by applause from the gallery. z,
S. Solomon presented the name OF Judge
Campbell, saying: 1.-THE office of Police
Judge of the City and County of San
Francisco is second to no other in inn
portance. There has been a gentleman in
that position who is well-known, who has
occupied it against the slurs and attacks
heaped upon him. And yet there is not a
man, woman or child in the City who can
point the finger of scorn against James A.
Campbell"
Loud and prolonged cheering greeted
the name, and even the vigorous rapping
of the chairman's gavel failed to restore
order among the enthusiastic delegates
and spectators.
Judge Campbell is a good fellow" at
last yelled the chair, ,s''but time is very
valuable to us tonight"
You bet he is good fellow, came

DIXON MEETS HIS MATCH.

Tommy White DiUides the HonorS HitE
the CoIored Lad.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. 25.-George
Dixon, the champion featherweight of the
world, fought the hardest battle of his
career when he had finished his twenty
round bout with Tommy White of Chicago
tonight. The colored lad went into the
ring hot favorite, but before half the
battle was over the 5000 spectators saw
that he was not the Dixon of former
battles. At times he showed some of
his old-time cyclonic dash, but the rest
less energy and terrific punching power
that made him famous were not there.
Dixon met his match at last, and
although the decision of a draw was a
fair one, there were many who thought
that White had the best of the encounter
The Western man lacked steam behind
his blows and depended almost entirely
on his left, with which he jabbed Dixon
time and time again, until his nose and
mouth were bleeding freely and his left
eye badly puffed up.
White was undeniablv game and clever,
and the manner IN which he blocked and
avoided Dixon's rushes and swings gained
him tha admiration of the crowd. AL
though Whites face was unmarked at the
end of the struggle his body showed the
effects of the blows which Dixon landed.
Had the Westerner possessed more hitting
power Dixon must certainly have gone
down before the blows which were landed
plentifully on his jaw during the battle.
AS it was, White had all the best of the
last round and smilingly jabbed Dixon all
around the ring, landing on the damaged
face, while the colored lad clinched des-

Answering your inquiry, the forcing of the

a considerable free silver sentiment, especially
among the farmers, and created some appre-
