THEIR CAMPAIGN PLANS
A Committee Named to Present
the Full City Delegations
Claim at Sacramento.
STANTON ELECTED CHAIRMAN
Merriment Over the Junta Gold Bugs
Nomination of a Thorough.
Going Silverite.

When the 161 delegates elected to the
Democratic State Convention at the recent
anti-Junta primaries came together last
night in Pythlan Castle it took them but
q short time to organize and arrange their
plan of campaign for enforcing recognl-
ton by the Sacramento convention.
Then Senator M. ]. Donovan cast an ap-
ple of discord into the meeting by present
ing a set OF resolutions denouncing the
Junta for nominating candidate for Con-
gress from the Fourth Congressional Dis
trict in the person of Hon. James G.
Mcguire and recommending that the
REGULARS" of the district nominate the
same gentleman for the same honor.
This threw wide open the fountain oi
eloquence, and in the gush that followed
the Junta was reviled, Mcguire lauded and
the Buckleyites painted as the creme de la
creme of the local Democracy and its only
regular representatives.
After an hour or more of this pastime
the Donovan resolutions were carried with
but few dissenting votes, and, later, the
Fourth District Convention met and regu-
larly nomin ated the man with whose re-
flected prestige they hope to make favor
at Sacramento.
Chairman RothschiId called the delega-
ton to order and announced that nomina-
tions for chairman of the delegation were
in order. DR.. James l. Stanton was
elected by acclsmation.
Chairman Stanton plunged Immediately
into the business of the meeting by stating
that it was for the purpose of arranging
plans for securing recognition OF the dele
CATION at Sacramento.
NJ. J. Donovan filed the credentials OF
the delegation with the chairman and
stated that a copy of them had been for
warded 10 the Democratic State Central
Com mittee.
William F. Humphreys was elected Sec
retary of the delegation by acclamation.
A. ]. Clunie stated that he believed the
first thing necessary to secure the recognl-
ton of the delegation at Sacramento was
that the pledge taken by the voters at the
primaries should De indorsed by the dele
cation.
He asked for the reading of the pledge
and it was duly read. 1t imposes support
of a free-silver measure and opposes tht
refunding of the debts of the Central anC
Union Pacific railroads.
a motion was made and carried to In
dorse this pledge and also the candidacy
of Hon. w. w. Foote, Senator Stephen
M. White and Congressman James G.
Mcguire as delegates at large to the Demo
cratic National Convention.
Joseph Rothschild moved that q COM
mittee of seven be appointed to present
the claims of the delegation before the
committee on credentials at Sacramen 10.
This was adopted after being amended by
increasing the number of the committee tc
fifteen.
Senator Donovan sprang something OF {
surprise in the Introduction of the follow
ing resolution:
WHEREAS, The band of diso1ganizing con
spirators controlled by Mr.. MeNab on las
Monday night in secret meeting at the order
of Mr.. McNab nominated the Hon J. 6
Mcguire for Congress in the Fourth Congress
sional District; and whereas, said action seem
strange after the SAID band OF consplrator
had al its meeting few days previous refused
to consider the name of the Hon. ]. G. Maguir
for even an Endorsement as a member of th
Democratic National Convention under tn
orders OF MeNab, he saying that Judg
Mcguire had done nothing for tn
Junta; and whereas, the Hon. J. 6
Mcguire did on November 20, 1895, il
B'nai Birth Hall brand the statement tina. thC
general committee had adjourned sine die il
Metropolitan Temple and that the conspira
tors beaded by McNab had any legal or mora
right to claim to represent the Democratic
party as false and without foundation in fact
and whereas, the Honorable ]. G. Mcguire die
reatirm these statements in telegram iron
mis- seat in Congress in the Capitol of tn
United States, Washington, D. c., on Marcel
the 10th OF this year, and Whereas this sud
den change of the leading conspirators wa
brought about only by the Democrats who ar
following them and whom they are misead
ing, discovering their worship OF gold and tn
corporate interest and loudly denouncinl
their action in this matter and force them un
willing to a change of front which chang
was made only that they might dupe then
the better, and whereas, the said lead
ing conspiraJor was expelled from tn
reorganized Democracy, over the des
TIMES OF which the Honorable J.
Dwyer and the Hon. ]. F. Sullivan presided fo
betraying the party and opposing the Hon. J
J. McDade for Sheriff, gentleman he wa
pledged to support, and; whereas, tn
said leading conspirator who whipped
the rest of the disorganizers arount
did in the Democratic State Convention helC
in the Baldwin Theater in the month of Au
gust, 1894, place in nomination the Hon. J. G
Mcguire ior Governor of this State, while h
had at the same time in his pocket tn
proxy of the Hon. James H. Budd, anothe
candidate for Governor, and in coming dow
from the platform through the audience aftel
placing Mcguire in nomination, did tell hi
friends TO vote for Budd; therefore be it
ResolUed, That we believe it to be the inten
tlon of the conspirators under this mans cor
troll to encompass the defeat of the Hon. J. G
Mcguire for Congress and thus deprive tn
ests and remove from the way of the goldbug
and the associate corporations their most daI
gerous opponent and In this we claim to b
justified beyond doubt by the record of thi
