CITY CONVENTION
Two Candidates for City Justice Are Noml
mated on the First Ballot


The delegates from the precincts COM
prising the city held a convention in the
hall late in the afternoon to nominate
two candidates for city justices.
G. e. Day was chosen chairman and
A. A. Bailey secretary.
e. A. Meserve explained that while
the convention did not in any sense rec
ognize or acknowledge that there was
any vacancy in the oce of city justice,
it had been deemed advisable to nomi-
nate candidates in order to be on the
safe side.
DR.. Wills moved that no nominating
speeches be made and this wise sugges-
tion was adopted, candidates being mere
ly announced.
Col. Fl. Glaze named M. T. Owens. F.
p. Flint presented D. c. Morrison. Col.
Fairbanks suggested Geo. Reed .jr. Lewis
Thorne announced Judge H. G. Austin.
Messrs. Crawford, Fairbanks, Flint,
Del Monte and Teed were named as
tellers.
Then came a scrap as to whether or
not a ballot should be allowed unless it
contained the names Of two candidates.
Lewis ThoSne wanted all ballots that
did not contain the names of two can
didates thrown out. Then there was a
loud howl.
George Gard thought that 1t had come
to pretty pass If a man in Republi-
can convention could not vote for only
one candidate If he wanted to.
Finally, after some wrangSing, the
question was settled by declaration
to the effect that any ballot containiSg g
the names of over two candidates would
be thrown out
The ballot was then taken. resulting
in the denomination Of Judges Owens
and Morrison as follows:
Reed.79; Austin, 8S Morrison, 202 1-3:
Owens, 235 1-3; total vote, 308; necessary
to a choice, 155.
On motion of George p. Phibbs, the
nominations were made unanimous, and
the city convention then adjourned.
The herald., 1896-09-12

one in the convention was the ovation
given to Robert N. Bulla, who was nomi
mated for senator in the Thirty seventh
district by acclamation. Mr.. Bulla was
received with more enthusiasm than
any man who came before the body. He
made speech which was closely listen
ed to in which he skillfuly avoided the
silver question.
SENATOR PERKINS SPEAKS.
To show that Otis is in no sense man
ager of Senator Perkins Southern Cali
fornia campaign it is only necessary to
reprint the following telegram:
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. II, 1896.
Mr.. G. E. Fisk, Chairman Los Angeles
County Council of Labor, Los Angeles:
Your telegram did not reach me until
this morning. earnestly desireto so act
that 1 will merit the confidence of the
people. While am grateful for the sup
port of all good citizens, no one)is aid
ing in my reelection excepting upon
their own volition.
GEORGE G. PERKINS.
This demonstrates that Otis claim that
he is Perkins representative in this sec
tion of the state is, as could have been
expected, untrue.
The ticket as nominated by the con-
vention Is not a strong one and there
will be and already are many complaints
and kicks on record against It, Later
the voters will pass on it at the polls.

PROMPTLY ON TIME
Chairman Overton Calls the Convention to
Order In the Morning

When the convention reassembled yes
terday morning 1t was just 10 o'clock.
Chairman Overton is nothing il not
prompt and in handling this convention
he gave ample manifestation of the fact
that he believed that when a body ad-
journed until 10 a. m. it meant that it
was to be called to order, not at 1915 or
1O:30 but at the hour specif6.
The ladies were on hand bright and
early and so were most of the delegates.
The ladies were given their usual seats
of honor on the stage, and they seemed
to take great interest in the manner and
methods adopted by the politicians to
handle a political convention.
For the convention as a whole there
was little or no important business to
transact, but in the assembly, senator
ial and supervsoral districts there was
a great deal to be done which interested
all, for in every district, save the SEN
atorial, there were contests.
The convention as a whole then broke
up and it did not reconvene for the trans
action of business until $50. The several
district conventions were held, first, as
sembly, then supervisoral, then sena-
torial and then city

The Passing of the Gamblers and Thieves.

The location OF Washington as the mu-
nicipai offshoot OF two great consnon-
wcaiths and surrounded as we are by their
territory makes IL necessary for us to de-
pend largely upon them for protection
against lawless characters. About one year
ago The Times beganits warfare on the gang
OF gamblers and toughs that controlled

and vigorous efforts finally succeeded in
destroying their power and in inducing the
State authorities to drive them out of the
county. \ part of this gang have sue
ceeded in establishing themselves in Mary

near Bladensburg, and have recommended
their work of plucSing Washington victims.
The Times last evening Published an ac-
count of this robbers den, and also called
the attention of the Maryland authorities
TO its existence. In a telegram to The
Times Governor Brown said he would place
the matter In the hands of his successor
Governor Lowndes, who begins his term of
office today, and il is likely that the place

An Official Whtewash That Lacks Consistency.

The attempt of the workhouse officials
to whitewash the unsavory reputation Of
that Institution will hardly pass inspection
as a commendable effort at official cal
cimining. The expose OF The Times was too
thorough and complete to be set aside by
the simple statements of those responsible
for official un " orthiness, and it will re-
quire a searching investigation by compe-
tent authority to convince the public that
workhouse inmates are fed on angels food
and bathed in lavender water.
One OF the peculiar features of our elee-
mosynary and public corrective institu-
tons is that they are seldom il ever made

the country is regularly visited by boards
constituted for that purpose, and while

the demands OF civilization require that
they be cleanly kept and that inmates be
humancly treated, and any deviation from
that policy will surely meet public disap-
proval.
1t has been currently reported that GER
tain officials of the police court propose to
also rush into public print in denial Of The
Times accusation that unfortunates We're
railroad ed through their legal machine
without being accorded Justice. Should
their apologize effusion be given to the
press it will probably be as mild-mannered
as was the whitewashing lament of the

Congressional Investigation into some of
the irregularities or District affairs would
send cold shivers up the spinal columns of
many of our officials, and they viii not in

will go unanswered.

that it would not create sufficient revenue.

is by temporarily increasing the tariff
The time has come when this reign of bull
