1t is not known what action the con-
vention will take concerning the nomi-
nation of a candidate for Lieutenant
Governor but if it is decided to make a
nomination, it appears to be cut and
dried that it will fall to William T.
Jeter.
Yesterday afternoon a very animated
discussion of the financial situation was
indulged in between Colonel John P.
Irish and Sam Braunhart, the former
maintaining his well-known position
for a gold standard, and the latter
standing sturdily for bimetallism at the
ratio of 16 to L.
StraWS sometimes show mhich way
the wind blows, and with Colonel Irish
acting as leader of the gold forces, it
may be understood that a free silver
plank will never be inserted without a
fight. The discussion reused the dele
gates present, and it was found that
there were two distinct sides to the
financial policy of the California De-
mocracy.
William B. English arrived in the
city yesterday morning, and his will be
a prominent figure in the convention.
He has proven himself to be a man of
iron resolution, and when he takes a
hand in affairs something usually re-
suits.
Some time ago the Democratic State
Central Committee appointed a sub
committee of three, consisting of
Raleigh Barcar of Solano, William M.
Gibson of Stockton and William G..
MCGEE of Amador to draft a constitu-
ton and bylaws for the Democratic
State Central Committee and State
Convention. The work has only re-
Gently been completed and will be Of
fered to the Central Committee, and
subsequently to the convention, by Mr..
Barcar, Chairman of the sub-commit-
tee. The following is a full text of the
report:

than a county, to be elected by the DEL

Convention held in even numbered
years, provided that any county form
ing a part of an Assembly District
shall b entitled to a member of the
committee and further provided that
after ratification hereof Democratic
Conventions held to nominate Assem-
blymen, and in counties forming parts
of Assembly Districts County Conven-
tions, may elect the member of the
Democratic State Central Committee,
to which they are hereby entitled
(Powers of the Committee)
The committee shall be the Judge of
it's own membership; shall hear and
decide all contested elections, and may
at any time by two-thirds vote, ex-
pei any member for disloyalty or other
breach of trust, or non-payment of
assessment. 1t shall decide upon the
time and place of holding State Conven-
tions and the basis of representation.
(Officers)
The officers of the committee shall be a
Chairman, three Merchantmen, a Sec
retary and Treasurer, and such assis-
tant Secretary or Secretaries as may
seem necessary in the judgment of the
Executive Committee, all Of whom shall
be elected at the first meeting Of the
committee called after their election at
the first Democratic State Convention
held in even-numbered years.

ted, shall appoint the following com

fragists at their headquarters at the
Golden Eagle Hotel, from which point
Of vantage they propose injecting the
war into the enemy's country, IN allo-
pathic doses. The ladies say they in
tend to make Individual canvasses
among the delegates and attempt to
gain an audience before the Committee
on Resolutions If they fail in this
they will appear before the convention
and try for recognition, and endeavor
co obtain the sentiment of the conven-
tion ON the suffrage question.
They say the exclusion of a suffra ge
plank may be party policy, but as Mrs.
Ida Harper has gone SO far as TO
threaten the party with the withdrawal
CT the suffragists' support in case the
plank is omitted, the convention may
be terrified into making concessions.
But as not a delegate has as yet init
mated as much, such a course may be
doubted. She says the women will send
their brightest politicians and most
skillful wire manipulators out upon the
stump to round up the disgruntled ele-
ment of the other parties who might be
inclined to get on the Democratic side
of the fence on the woman question.
She has no hope of succeeding in the
convention, but she believed the suf-
fragists would be well received, be-
cause she knew of no reason to pre-
vent Democrats from being gentlemen
as well as those of other political per-
suasions.
There is no change in the contest for
the Chairmanship of the convention,
ard it is practically certain that Gould
of Stockton will win in a canter He
arrived in the city yesterday afternoon
from San Francisco, and his smile was
as broad as ever. W. w. Foote came
up on the same train with Gould, as
we'll as most of the other San Francisco
lea ders, and everything seemed to be
running as smooth as oil.
Gavin McNab has figured out that
Gould will have at least 3S2 votes on
the first ballOt-a majority of 323, and
is of the opinion that there will be prac-
tically no opposition to the Stockton
man.
John Daggett arrived in the city on
the noon train, but was not very con-
spicuOus among the delegates. He ex-

voters of the party, that majority is a
very scant one. AS one of the gold
money delegates yesterday said: The
bosses would have a serious time max
ing converts of that part Of the rank
and file who still fall down and wor-
ship at the shrine of Grover, gold, bonds
and ALL"
The long headed portion of the par
ty. who have no axes to grind, and who
don't want to go to Chicago put it thus.
v hile the delegates from the mining
districts are practically a unit for
gold plank, and while the reverse is the
case with those from the agricultural
districts, the rank and file of neither
are by any means a unit upon either
course. The leaders understand that
to insert a "16 to II plank means to
drive the gold voters into the Mckinley
ranks, while a "Claveland' plank will
just as surely send the disgruntled ele-
ment into the camp Of the POpullsts.
The result will most likely be "strad-
die" of the entire question, which will
be called a compromise" and the tariff
be shunlted forward as the issue of

pressed it as his opinion that Gould
would be elected Chairman, and so. al
though the Buckleyites may play the
part of obstructionists. it may be said
that his election is assured.
Each country delegate upon his ar
rival in the city was presented with the
thirty-page pamphlet issued by the
Buckleyites setting forth their troubles,
and a few were seen reading them.
There has been no additional light
thrown upon the contests which are to
be made, and no certainty will be had
as to results until the Committee on
Credentials has had it's whack at them.
Everything depends upon the Chair

is dead down on the Buckley contln-

MRS. JOHNSON REFUTES IT.
The Statement Published About Herself
and Husband.
She Insists That the Bridge Tender
Was Beaten by Two Un-
known Men.

Mrs. Matilda Johnson, wife of Charles
Johnson, the bridge tender who was
SO badly beaten the other night, says
the story published in a Sunday paper
concerning that occurrence is utterly
false in every particular. She last saw
her husband, she says, on the night he
received the terrible beating about 8
o clock when she came across the bridge
to attend a meeting of the Salvation
Army. He was then in the bridge
house. When she crossed on her way
home, about o'clock, she did not see
him, as he was temporarily absent from
the house.
The next time she saw him was when
he came home about half-past II O'Clock
at night and called her up. She was
sound asleep when he first called. His
cries awoke her, and she went to the
door. It was dark, and while she was
getting a light he repeatedly told her
not to be frightened when she saw him,
as he was badly hurt and very bloody,
but was all right He had on his black,
or dark, trousers and vest and black
shirt, and did not have any blouse or
jacket such as was mentioned in the
report. In fact, he never wore one.
AS to the alleged conversation be-
tween her and lawyer S. r. Hart, she
says that no such conversation ever
took place She declares she never saw
Hart that she knows of, and never
talked with him about any divorce, or
anything else. She never heard of any
proposed divorce, and her husband and
herself never had any quarrels.
She makes this pertinent inquiry: eff
the officers who looked into the matter,
as alleged, had any suspicion in re-
gard to her, why have they not been to
her home to investigate the condition
Of the clothing she wore that night?"
The published statement referred to
by Mrs. Johnson was to the effect that
she went to the bridge that night and
finding her husband under the influence
Ct liquor, beat him unmercifully 1t
was also stated that one of them had
consulted with lawyer S. r. Hart about
divorce.
The story connecting Mrs. Johnson
with the murderous attack on her hus-
band was started by persons who affili-
ate with one set of Washington gam
blers, and as Johnson was known to
have taken an active interest in the
recent movement to have the games
closed over there, the belief is that some
the gamblers are responsible for the
assault on him.
There is apparently much more in
this matter than has yet come to light,
and an excellent opportunity is afforded
for some ambitious detective to work
up an interesting case by getting at
all the facts.
