SENT BY HIS NEIGHBORS.
Wallace Bradford of San Francisco
said: "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen Of
the Convention: 1 was sent here by my
neighbors and sent here to represent
| the people that have lived in the midst
of for years. 1 did not have to move to
Butte or to Merced or to the orange
| groves, and l came not from Mendo-
| cino. 1 came here from Preside HightS
| of San Francisco, and no man has a
! string on me, and I ask you, who have
| attended convention after convention,
to listen to those who have been sent
here to represent them.
= Mr.. Kowalsky and Mr.. Knight have
| not been sent here by their neighbors
| to represent them in this convention,
but they come here and seek to throw
a blanket over this convention and
| hope to influence the members here.
| Now, I ask if it is not possible for the
| Americans to select seven intelligent
| men from this convention, intelligent
enough to decide these questions? Why,
nine members of the Supreme Court of
this State decide much more important
questions. (Applause) If you make
the committee twenty-one, there will be
chance for the powers. Let us get
down to the minimum, a few intelli-
gent men, to decide these questions !;
they can do it much better than a rab-
ble'' (Applause)
COMMITTEE OF FIFTEEN.
J. M. Fulweiler of Placer spoke as
follows: ''Mr. Chairman and gentlemen,
I am in favor of a more extended repre-
sentation upon that Committee on Gre
dentials than seven men (applause), and
l think that representation ought to
come from the State. equally distributed
and not selected by the Chairman, not
withstanding his good judgment and
his stanch Republicanism
But l think that twenty-one is little
too much, and I therefore am in favor
OF and will move as a substitute the
motion made originally by Mr.. Ca
rothers, that the committee consist OF
fifteen, two from each Congressional
District and one at large applause and
cheers, to the end that no man shall
air his individual ills and that we shall
represent the people and send men to
the National Convention who will rep
resent the Republican party, and not
individual preferences"
Mr.. Gibson and Mr.. Middecoff ac-
cepted the amendment proposed by Mr.
Fulweiler.
S. NJ. Shortridge said he was very glad
that Judge Gibson and Mr.. Middecoff
accepted the substitute, making the
number of the committee fifteen. Let

A VICIOUS BEGGAR.
While Under Arrest He Kicked an
Officer in the Face.

Officers Higgins and Douglas had a
pretty lively experience yesterday with
a tough. The officers had just ar
rested three men on suspicion Of hav-
ing stolen several pairs of shoes, which
they were trying to sell, and had placed
them in the patrol wagon, when their
attention was called to a couple of
stalwart bummers who were Striking
passerS-by for money. The fellows
were about half-drunk.
The officers halted the wagon, and
Higgins remained in it to guard the
prisoners while Douglas gathered in
the healthy beggars. Douglas waltzed
up to them and told them to come along.
The biggest one of the pair looked at
the welterweight officer with a sneer.
Then he aimed a blow at him. which
Douglas evaded, and broke away from
the latter.
Higgins jumped out of the wagon
and took a hand, and finally the pair
were landed all right. But on the way
to the police station the burly fellow
became belligerent and had to be
thrown upon the bottom of the wagon.
While Douglas was holding him down
he managed to kick the officer in the
face. Douglas should have dubbed
him into submission, but he was de-
TERED from doing so because of the
fact that people generally censure Off
GERS when they retaliate on big bruis-
ers for vicious assaults made by the
latter when under arrest.
1t is not likely Justice Davis will
show much mercy to such a nniscreant.
The name he gave the officers is
Thomas Ryan, and the other gave the
name of ANDY Wall

It has been the experience Of everybody
who has had occasion to do committee
work that the larger the committee the
more difficult 1t is to keep in order, and
the more time 1t takes to complete Its
labors. Seven Republicans taken from
the floor of this convention ought to be
able to settle any dispute between Re-
publicans." applause
KNIGHT OF BUTTE.
Hon. George A. Knight caused roar
of laughter by calling for recognition
as 'AIr. knight of Butte" and he was
greeted with cheers.
The Chair stated that he recognized
the name but did not know that Mr.
Knight had moved.
Mr. knight said: "Mr Chairman. and
gentlemen of the convention, l am IN
favor of the amendment. This party IS
too big for any one man, or seven men
to run. (Applause) We want commit =

KOWALSKY OF MENDOCINO.
Mr.. Kowalsky created another roar
of laughter by announcing ''Mr. Kow-
alsky of Mendocino." He said: "Mr.

The point of order was raised that the
