The Sixth district congressional con-
vention meets at the noon recess tomor-
row. If a candidate for congress is
then nominated l.. ]. Rose Of Los An
reles will be the name. John McGoni-
gle of Ventura says that Rose can carry
Ventura county with ease.
The district convention is to be pecu-
liarly silent upon the subject of the at
tempted Santa Monica steal, but the
state platform will declare itself upon
the matter in no uncertain tones.
The junta San Francisco delegates say
they are footloose on all the issues to
come before the convention with the
exception of the Craftsmanship and the
A, p. A. They are pledged for Gould
and the passage of strong resolution
condemning the American Protective as
sociation.
II do not know how the city delegates
will vote on silver or any of the other
questions to come before the conven-
tion," said Gavin McNab this morning.
"as they are free to do as they please.
The delegation is composed of gentle
men of such high calibre that it would
be impossible to program them"
The contest for the four delegates at
large to the national convention prom
ises to be a very lively affair Stephen
N. White will have no real opposition.
At present it looks as if Tom Geary
would be chosen, with Judge Mcguire.
The fourth place will be contested for
by w. w. Foote and James V. Coleman.
Shortly before / o'clock today the reg
ular" San Francisco delegation, headed
by Andrew j. Clunie and DIR. Stanton,
walked to the pavilion and demanded
admission. The doorkeeper had received
orders to allow nobody within until
o'clock, but somebody cried, Rush the
DOORS" and Immediately those in the
rear pushed forward. The doorkeeper
was tossed aside like a cork and the
alleged regulars marched within, 161
strong, and took the seats provided for
the big city's representatives; and the
Buckleyites held the seats through the
afternoon.
Although the prospects of woman suff-
rage receiving an Endorsement do not
look encouraging, the ladies interested
in the movement are. on hand. in. force.
Susan B. Anthony, Anna Shaw, Mrs.
Harper and many others are in attend
ance. They met with much discourage
ment today. They made no headway
with their movement to have the Demo-
carts insert suffrage plank in their
platform. They have come with some
strong arguments in the shape of popu-
lar petitions signed by men and women
in various counties of the state. In their
headquarters these petitions are stacked
high and the ladies are authority for the
statement that they contain $4,000 names.
There are twelve counties which the
Sr,ff ocS c re NJ SSP1 and thew
say that if they had been able to cover
the whole state they would have Sc
cured at least $4,000 names
But what good will these names do
us?" said one of them, "if we cannot get
the delegates to come and see them?'
and this is the matter that is most dis
turbing the workers for the sex. They
have been keeping open house at their
headquarters ever since yesterday
morning and have had no callers. Miss
Winni1. ed Harper of Stanford univer-
sity said: I'VE are much embarrassed
because the Democrats will not come
near us. At the Republican convention
the woman's headquarters were full of
delegates all the time, but this conven-
tion does not take kindly to the move
ment and the members have carefully
stayed away from us.
1--WE cannot go out after them so we
have been unable to accomplish anything
at all. If we can get to talk to people,
we can always win over votes, but when
the men stay away, what can we do?"
The Buckley people, should they be
denied admission to the convention to-
morrow, will, they say, take their case
into court, where they expect that their
local ticket this fall will be declared to
be the regular Democratic party ticket
V. p Scholar, the Santa Clara coun-
ty candidate for nomination for con-
l,a 6ictriot has with
drawn in favor of T. ]. Clunie, leaving
the fight between Clunie and Joseph
Kelly.
Thomas ]. Geary and C. A. Caminetti,
who sat in the lower house of congress
together, came together in front of the
Golden Eagle tonight. There has been
had blood between the men ever since
they were in Washington. Geary
charged Caminetti with being a rail
road man, which in this vicinity just
now is eual to clubbing a man an A. p.
A., or worse. The two charged back and
forth for several minutes, and it looked
for a time like carving of somebody
or something, but the row ended with
nothing very serious to either of the two
distinguished belligerents.
Should the attempted Santa Monica
steal be reported by the platform COM
mittee, fire-ala.rm John w. Mitchell
will lead the fight for tabling the reso-
luton.
Indications at midnight point to the
nomination of George d. Patton as one
of the two electors at large tomorrw.
W. B. Wiltshire of Los Angeles, who is
here, is also talked of for the honor.
The delegates at large will be
Stephen M. White, by acclamation, w.
w. Foote, James V. Coleman of San
Francisco, and either Judge James G.
Mcguire or Thomas j. Geary.
In answer to telegram from w. II.
Workman, Senator White wired this
morning that, as he had long ago prom.
ised Frank Gould to vote for him for
chairman of the convention, Workman
must cast his (White's) ballot for the
Stockton man, as much as he (White)
would have liked to vote for Judge
Ryan, who is his townsman and per-
eonal friend.
