The Senator Il Accorded Resslng Rsesp-
In the interval between 1880 and $3.50
o'clock the various committees met for
work. the committee on resolutions at
the Office of c. e. Munday, its chairman,
and the committee on credentials and
order Of business meeting in side rooms
at Turner hall. The first to report was
the committee on credentials. Before
this was announced Chairman Patton
announced that Senator White having
appeared upon the floor he would recog
nize Col. ]. ]. Ayers for the purpose Of
moving that the rules be suspended so
that Senator White could be at once
elected delegate-at-large to the state
convention. The motion carried unan-
imously on rising vote. The conven-
ton at the mention of Whites name
shouted itself hoarse as one man. The
senator was hurried to the platform and
made an address full Of feeling and
punctured with brilliant periods as only
Stephen M. White knows how. White
among other things said:
Every American, because Of his sur
roundings, exercises his individual
proposition that every American is a
sovereign, and at the polls each casts
his ballots as he sees fit. The Democrat
ic party has certain principles in which
you and I believe. Today we all stand
face to face to each other plainly. We
are engaged in mighty conflict #
great Importance to us all. If it be true
that the majority Of our people are un-
able to shake off the shackles fastened
upon them by the money power; If the
necessities of life are hard to obtain how
can we collect enough money to pay the
expenses of the government. Senator
Aldrich, in the recent congress, declared
that IL tariff upon sugar was returned
there would be 500. .000. 900 Of surplus in
the treasury. Yet that bill was passed
and the deficiency in the revenue exists
of 100000. We prepared to tax in

White for President

The collection of the so cent assess
ment occupied over an hour. Crisp of
Sierra Madre then opposed the selec-
tiOn OF any more than two Sergeants-at-
arms, and an amedment to that fact was
caryded. Then McCrimmins of Pico
Heights offered the following, which
was carried with whoop, the rules be-
ing suspended for the purpose:
Resolved. That the Hon. Stephen M.
White be requested to act as chairman
Of our county delegation to the state
convention, and
Resolved, That we heartily commend
the favorable comments Of the press in
Stephen M. White for the position OF
standard bearer Of the national Demo-
cratic party in the coming election in
November. We think him eminently
worthy Of the high honor. and should
the national Democratic party place his
name In nomination for the office Of
president Of the United States, we be-
iieve a selection would be made which
would inspire the confidence of the en-
tire country. fill the Democratic hosts
with enthusiasm, and insure the cleo
ton OF a Democratic president.
Judge Ryan opposed the election of
any more that four delegates at large
and made speech in opposition to that
portion of the credentials report provid-
ing for nine delegates at large. Ryan
had been selected by the Old Guards
as their spokesman to try and undo the
work of the morning hours.
Colonel Mesmore talked In support of
Ryan's amendment, and the gang ap-
plauded. Mesmore got red in the face,
and after q time sat down.
Brewer Of Vernon made a speech for
representative representation, talking
for men nowhere found who are known
to be tried and true. Judge Ryan, while
you are perfectly familiar with city
politics." said Brewer, you know id
little about the country"
Henry O'Melveny spoke in support
OF the committees report. Rogers Of
East Los Angeles talked for the amend
ment, and Stieglitx OF San Gabriel talk
ed in the other direction, and Judge
Ryan closed the debate. There were
loud calls for the previous question,
and the debate was closed A call of the
roll and the vote upon the Ryan plan
won, Henry O'Melveny moving it's
adoption by acclamation before the roll
call was completed, which was done
amid general good feeling. O'Melveny
did not wish to be understood, he said,
as having said anything In his previous
remarks derogatory to Judge Ryan.

Judge A. M. Stephens was withdrawn.
1t was sought at this point to cast the
ballot of the convention for Merrill. This
was declared to be out of order, which
ruling brought out an appeal from the
decision of the chair. The chairman was
sustained by an overwhelming major

Merrill. 344; Maier. 412; Newton, 2O8;
Last, 2S7; Workman, 70; Dockweiler, 203

Newton and Pomona voted fourteen for
Merrill, fourteen for Maier and fourteen
for Dockweiler.
When San Gabriel was reached the
chairman of that delegation voted
George Patton against ]. c. Newton.
The city precincts voted almost solidly
for Governor Merrill and in places
scratched the name of Joseph Maier.

Commltte. on Credentials

COMMITTEES on Credentials
The next order Of business was the
reading Of the report of the commit
tee on credentials, which was presented
by Chairman M. w. Conkling. Only
two contests were reported, one in Ma
tional precinct No. 4, when the delegates
recognized by the chairman at the morn
ing session were seated. In the matter
of the Fifteenth precinct, the commit
tee reported as follows:
In the Fifteenth precinct we find that
that there Is contest. We further find
that three Of the sitting delegates COM
posed the board Of election. We further
find that these judges unlawfully re-
fused to allow proper challenges to be
put to persons offering to vote; that they
wilfully allowed repeating and floaters
from other precincts to vote and that
these f1oaters and repeaters voted for
the sitting delegation, their ticket being
distinguished by being a. red ticket,
while the contesting delegation were on
a white ticket. They further refused
to allow the contestants to properly
inspect the casting of ballots and that
they put the ballots in the box in such a
way as that it could not be determined
whether the ballots offered were put in
the box or not We believe that the
contesting delegation consisting of Capt.
A. NJ. Bragg, r. N, Walters, P. Reene,
j. L. Tucker, proxy, Thomas Chambers,
Thomas Weiss J.Douglass are the choice
T. Weiss and ]. Douglass are the choice
of the majority of the precinct and we
recommend that they be seated. We
further recommend that no proxy be
allowed any person living outside of
the precinct, and that in the absence Of
any delegates the majority of those re-
naming shall cast his vote.
