There was a Republican county
convention and a mob convention
held at Mission garden pavilion
last night, and such disgraceful
exhibition of autocratic usurpa-
ton of legal rights Of a straight
out Republican convention by the
mixed clique Of this county has
never been seen before.
The hall was crowded long be.
fore the convention opened, the
straight Republicans, headed by
Captain Jack Evans, Colonel
James P. Newcomb, Martin
Locke, Joe Beckman, Albert Beck
man, DR.. Hadrs, William Hoef-
ling, Ed. Froebose, 1. n. Turner,
and nearly four hundred other re-
spectacle white citizens, being on
hand very early, while the colored
element in the service Of office
holders were swarming on every
side.
When the hour of the opening
Of the convention arrived, $3.50
o'clock the chairman who called
the convention, DR.. G. G. Clifford,
was not present and Capt. Jack
Evans called for order. Then A.
E. Hebron at $40 o'clock nomi-
mated Mr.. Joe Beckman for
chairman. His motion was Sec
onded and by viva voce vote Mr..
Beckman was elected chairman.

tsry.
The business of the convention
was about to proceed in an orderly
manner, and Col. Newcomb was
making motion for the appoint
ment OF committee OF five on
organization, when DR.. Clifford
forced his way to the stage and
called for order, asserting his
authority over Chairman Beck.
man, as chairman. He was in
formed that he had come too late,
that he had called the convention
to meet at $50 and they had done
SO.
Clifford insisted that he was
present at $3.50 o'clock, but clearly
he was not in the hall at the time
and did not attempt to say 80. His
appearance caused great confusion,
however, his black allies, with
which the hall swarmed, endeav.
oring by raising a perfect uproar
OF bowls, to have him seated. In
the confusion DIR. Clifford and
some Of his followers mounted the
stage and a personal encounter
seemed pending, Mr.. W. M. Locke,
OF the straight republicans, insist.
ing that he was out of order and
should retire. Reinforced by Bart
CrOwther, Chas. w. Ogden, and
some colored men Clifford kept
the stage and tried to make him
self heard, but the convention
would not hear him, nor would
they hear Mr.. Ogden, who tried tc
open the convention with the aid
OF heavy war club with which
he pounded the table and tried tx
drown the noise.
Calls were made for Capt. JACK
Evans, and he began speaking. DIR
Clifford began reading his call fo
the convention, neither gentlemen
seemed to interrupt the other In
this and both &C uld not make them

CLEVER JOE STORMS.
Simian Who VIII Do Some
Talking When He's Older.
San Francisco Examiner.


Joe Storms has returned to
this city full of hard-boiled eggs
and bright prospects. 1t is just
one year since San Francisco
was honored by a visit from
Mr.. Storms and he comes back
10 us much improved mentally,
socially and physically. He is
Gov connected with a sort Of
pork and bean menagerie and
will probably remain for an in
definite period, as Joseph has
not been long enough in the
show business to know how to
walk the ties.
]. Storms is a 4-year-old
erang-outang. who landed here
from the orient on the steamer
Copic last July, in charge Of
bis guardian, Captain Storms
ofTacoma. The sailor com
handed bark plying between
the islands of Borneo and ST
aatra and Joe was captured
during a trip to the former
place. He received nice per-
sonal notices in the papers
while passing through this port
on his way to Tacoma to be
educated.
The beast graduated with
honor and is now famous
throughout the country as the
most learned orang-outang
alive. His picture has been in
the magazines.
The smart sirnian shivered
and shuddered in box on the
Oregon dock yesterday morn
ing, having arrived from Port
land by steamer the pre- 10 s
evening. He is in doubtful
company. being associated
with two stuffed deer, one man
gy emu and a skunk called
Trilby- However, Joe is all
right himself and has learned
many things in college at Ia
coma that may prove useful TO
him in years to come ifhe lives.
One Of his accomplished is
TO wear clothes just like a man
who has clothes. At night he
takes them of. placing the
trousers between the mattres-
ses to preserve the crease at
fected by those who know the
correct thing in dress. Joe
also smokes cigarettes, but

does not inhale. But it IS said
TO his credit that Mr.. Storms
prefers pipe if he can it.
Those who saw Joe on his
first visit will be panied to
note that he now has a bicycle
face. He learned to ride the
bike and has joined several
century runs in the northwest.

including golf socks and a
striped cap. Once he was ar
rested in Portland for sccrch-
ing, but was allowed to go with
a reprimand from the judge,
who said he would allow no
more such monkey business.
Another clever trick is writ
ing to his girl in a fine Italian
hand, drinking from a bottle
and replacing the cork, lead
ing Friday night cotillions and
carrying the bod.
Joe's owner says that he can
do everything but talk. The
only reason he does not talk is
because Of his extreme youth.
He has a tongue, teeth and
palate and could speak if he
had anything to say. He is
pleased with our climate. The
scholar has gained in flesh
since his last visit and his dark
brown brow is "sicklied DER
with the~pale cast of thought. "
He is slightly bald, too, from
his cap in the house and de
voting too much time to study,
but his general health is good.

legislature, the first move will be repeal
of the charter of the Bay Seate Gas Com

they assert, they can secure liberal cam

their first move would doubtless be to &c.

been referred. Mr.. Addicks thus has much
