can convention met at 2:30 pm. in G.
A. X. hall, being called to order by
Chairman Lockat. The delegates were
grouped together according to wards,
in the front part Of the hall. The
audience filled the remainder o. the
hall.
Mr.. Lockett said in part, that the
Republicans had controlled the NUM-
cipal affairs of Pasadena for some
years with never a complaint on the
part Of any, until recently, when it had
been charged that the city is under
ring rule.
Judge NJ. c. Hester nominated Capt.
@. NJ. Simpson as temporary chairman
Of the convention, and he was unani-
mously elected to that Office.
He said he hoped that the action Of
this convention would be such that it
would be ratified by the voters at the
polls on the 18th of April. There never
was an organization of the Republican
voters as city organization, until two
years ago, because there was no need
of it. Capt. Simpson read the first call
for Republican convention, stating
that twelve of the signers OF that call
were now in the non-partisan move
ment. He read the call, but said he
did not care to be personal, hence he
did not read the names. Calls Of
"Rsad them," were set up among the
delegates.
He said, II had the privilege yester-
day of looking at printed ticket,
which was an exact copy Of the ticket
which was printed iu the morning
papers. And yet the opposition talks
about US having slate prepared.
Frank A. Long and J. w. Wood were
chosen for secretaries and the usual
committees appointed by the chair.
Reports of committees we're made and
nominations for city treasurer an
nounced to be in order. w. S. Wright
nominated John Mcdonald, stating in
his speech that his nominee had
worked hard for the Republican party,
in season and oct Of season, at all eau
cuses and ward meetings, and had not
had an Office. j. L. Church nominated
Isaac Springer. G. w. Swan and w.
w. Mills we're appointed as tellers, and
G. II. Conrad to read the ballots.
The result of the ballots was that
John Mcdonald received Is votes and
Isaac Springer %. Mr.. Mcdonald was
made the unanimous choice Of the con-
ventiou.
Ed Lockett nominated for city clerk
Newton s. Bingham, seconded by
Judge Weed. Judge Weed said he was
ready to stand by what he had said
two years ago to the effect that He
man Dyer was the best city clerk he
had ever known, but he thought Mr..
Banghsm had al equal knowledge with
MIR. Dyer. and as he was Republican,
he was opposed to voting for anyone
nominated by the non-partisan con-
vention. j. G.. Rossiter also seconded
the nomination, saying there was not
another man who could run against
Hemsn Dyer, and he moved the rules
be suspended and Captain Bsngham be
declared the nominee of the conven-
ton by reclamation. G. A. Gibbs said
he had nomination to make
and he wanted q chance,
and asked that this motion be
withdrawn long enough for him to
nominate Hemsn Dyer. He said what
ever might be said about ring rule and
stealing money, we know it's not true
because Heman Dyer is there, man
whom every body knows to be the soul
of honor. That he was not nominated
by the other party through his choos-
ing, but that he could not help himself,
since it had been settled long ago that
he would be nominated. Z. s. Wal
lace seconded the nomination. DIR.
Ward Rowland said he would like to
know whether this was Republican
convention. II so, why was the name
of kHeman Dyer brought forward. He
was all that Mr.. Gibbs said, but he bad
been nominated by the non partisans
and that settled it. G. G. Brown spoke
in a similar vein, and moved that the
vote be taken in each delegation and
announced. This was carried. The
vote was announced as 80 for Captain
Bangham and II for Heman Dyer, and
on motion of Mr.. Gibbs, was made
unanimous.
For city marshal M. E. Wood nomi-
mated w. B. Van Kirk. Il. J. Vail
nominated John r. Slater r. j. Jean
(colored) seconded the nomination.
The roll WAS announced. Slater 80,
Van Kirk 10. The nomination was
made unanimous.
For trustee from the First ward for
the full term of four years, G. 9. Brown
arose to nominate a man and made
quite q long speech, in the course of
which he said. "he will be elected when
I nominate him" After several more
references to 'when 1 nominate him.
which brought forth calls of "neme
him." he finally named Geo. H. Coffin
for the place, and this nomination was
made unanimous.
At this juncrure motion was adopt
cd to the effect that each delegate be
assessed 30 cents to pay expenses.
Ed. Lockett nominated for trustee
from the Second ward for the full
term George d. Patton. The nomina-
ton was made by ACCLAIM alton.
For trustee at large, for the period
OF two years, W. s. Wright nominated
Col. Hartwell. Amid the yells of the
convention Mr.. Hsrtwell tried to say
something but was not allowed to do
%, and he was voted in by reclamation,
not being allowed to say a word for
fear he would decline.
