Gould and the Junta Will Be
Supported by a Big
Majority.
BUCKLEY A RANK OUTSIDER.
Delegates Arriving From the Interior
Counties on Their Way to Sacra.
mento Confirm the Situation.


Democracy toward Sacramento developed
yesterday. Mendocino County's entire
delegation to the State Convention came
to town on its way to the capital, and the
leaders of the delegations from several
other counties. Among these were: W..
H. Afford of Tulare, L. P. Farmar of
Suffer, L. D. Sproul of Butte, ]. F.
Coonan of Humboldt and W. P. Andrews
of Tehama.
they will remain over until Monday for
the most part and will be joined here to-
day by many others. The run to Sacra-
mento will be made in a rush tomorrow.
All the indications to-day, on the eve of
the assem- bling of the convention, point to
a speedy transaction of the business and
an ad journment by Wednesday.
Gould will be chairman. Despite all
the declarations and predictions to the
con trary, no man has risen up anywhere
in the State to contest that honor with
him. He will have votes enough at the
| assembling to elect him.
The convention will be compelled to
| swallow whatever feeling it has in favor of
gold, and will declare for silver in order to
harmonize with the sentiments that it is
expected the Chicago Convention will ex-
press.
1t will declare also against woman's suf-
| frage. There will be plank strongly de-
nouncing the A. ?. A. These three things
| a canvass of the delegates throughout the
| State has determined definitely.
The change in the situation with re-
gard to money that compes the silver
plank will doubtless leave Barney Muir
| ply and E. b. Pond out of the list of as
pirants for the delegateship-at-arge to
nnnUnnfJnn ND nv ho
same token Stephen NJ White. James G.
Mcguire, W. W. Foote, Thomas Geary
and ]. V. Coleman will be candidates for
that honor.
The Junta is solid factor in the con-
vention. 1t is on the temporary roll, and
| the temporary officers will make its place
certain on the permanent roll.
The Junta is for Gould, Gould will ap-
point the committee on credentials, and
the committee on credentials has to do
with contests-and there YOU are.
Gavin McNab smiles YEARLY when Mr.
Buckley's name is mentioned. "ae nor
his followers will figure in the convention
at all" he says. HE has never been a
figure in the campaign despite all the hue
and cry"
All the delegates in the City now from
the interior are for Gould and the Junta,
for silver (some of them under protest),
and a majority of them against woman
suffrage.
Buckley's greatest showing of strength
is in Alameda and Los Angeles counties.
In Alameda Buckley claims to have % out
OF tie 30. OF these the most enthusiastic
supporter of Buckley is the solitary col
ored delegate elected in the State. BY a
somewhat notable coincidence his name is
Dennis.
In Los Angeles the election was not held
until yesterday, but it is understood that
the anti-Juata element will have large
representation, as John w. Mitchell is
against Gould and worked very hard in
opposition to him.
But neither Gould nor the Junta worry
about that. At headquarters yesterday it
was figured that of the 614 delegates COM
posing the convention Gould will have
| 381 votes for temporary chairman.
This is as lar as heard from. They ex-
pect to have many more Following is
| the schedule of interior counties as pre-
pared:
