Browning instructing the County Com
mittee to appoint the delegates to the
next County Convention by primaries
or club nominations.
He said that this convention was ap-
pointed by the Central Committee, and
Democrats all over the county were
saying that the delegates were ap-
pointed in that way in order that GER
tain persons might be nominated. He
did not wish to say anything against
the delegation, but that was the way
people felt and it should be changed.
The motion was carried almost unan-
imously

ination of Superior Judges, but first H.

w. A. Gett placed in nomination
Matt. F. Johnson, a young man who
had grown up in the county; who stud
led law in the office Of James w. Cof-
froth, who had won the respect and
esteem of the entire bar and of the
litigants who came before him. For

Cn ha in a p6 hU
Objection was made that nominations
were not yet closed, and the motion was
withdrawn.
There was pause and then h. L.
Woodman arose and nominated J. w.
Hughes amid perfect whirlwind of
applause. He spoke of him as young
man who had grown up among the
delegates, and was well known to them.
He enjoyed in the highest degree the
confidence and esteem of the whole bar,
without regard to party, and being free
from bias or prejudice was eminenly
fitted for the bench.
II. c. Ross seconded the nomination
in glowing terms, and was loudly ap-
plauded.
r. NJ. Cravens spoke of the increase
in the departments of the Superior
Court two years ago. To-day there are
three gentlemen of high attainments
and spotless reputation before this con-
vention seeking the nomination for this
honorable position. 1t has been the Gus
tom in this county, when the bench has
been well filed by an incumbent, to re-
nominate him. Judge Hinkson was ap-
pointed by Governor Budd to fill a po-
sition on the bench, and has filled it to
the satisfaction Of the bar and the
people. He has for many years prac-
ticed law in this city, and his high at
tainments are well known. If nomin-
ated by the convention he will surely
be elected.
The remarks of Mr.. Cravens were
showing that Judge Hinkson's friends
in the audience were not few nor far be-
tween.
r. NJ. Clarken followed with a eulo-
CYSTIC speech seconding the nomination
Of Judge Hinkson, saying that COM
plant had been made concerning the
severity Of his sentences. They were
pronounced by him from a sense of his
duty to society," and should be and were
appreciated by the people in whose in
terest they were made. Before he came
here he filled positions of responsibility
in Amador County to the satisfaction of
the citizens. He urged the convention
to renominate Judge Hinkson and show
the Governor that he made no mistake
in appointing him TO the bench. Hon
orable, capable and respected, he would
do credit to the party when elected.
(Applause.)
c. t. Hughes spoke in support of his
namesake, and said that the young
men demanded that one Of them should
be chosen and given a chance to prove
his fitness for fba noSifion IChoarc.
