II consists in the administration ola medi-

REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONS

The three Republican assembly dis
trict conventions in this city to elect
delegates to the state convention to be
held at Sacramento next Tuesday went
through strictly according to program.
Not Il cog slipped in the machine of ac-
ton anywhere along the line and the
expressions of the primaries held last
Wednesday were emphatically ratified.
The local conventions proved that Jas.
McLachlan will be named to succeed
himself in congress by acclamation, and
that instructions for William Mckinley
for the presidential nomination are so
far as Los Angeles county is concerned
anything but a certainty. Capt II. H.
Osborne was elected a delegate to the
state convention in the Seventyfourth
district by reclamation, having no oppo-
sition for the honor. This in spite of the
Times, which yesterday morning threat
ened that Osbornes selection would be
considered a personal affront to itself
and to Its conductor. The same cOnVen-
tion refused by vote of SIS to AZ to in
struct for Mckinley, although the man
from Ohio was endorsed The conven-
tion greeted with derision the name of
Col. Ii. G. Otis. Rev. S. j. Pitman was
elected chairman of the convention; C.
M. Il. Walker was made the secretary.
Early in the session II. w. Brotherton
offered a resolution that the thirteen del
>gates that shall be elected be instructed
20 elect such national delegates as shall
pledge themselves for Mckinley for
president so long as his name shall re-
main as such candidate before the na-
tional convention. The motion was de-
clared out of order.
The committee on resolutions report
