known politicians from all parts of the
county. One of the most noticeable fea-
lures was the strength of the representa-
tion from the interior of the county. The
small number of Offices for which nomi-
nations were to be made might be ex-
pected to cause a falling off in interest
and attendance Such, however, was not
the case, ana. although there were many
purely local fights on the floor of the con-
veDtion, it was distinctively a genuine
Republican gathering, and the keenest of
interest prevailed from start 10 finish.
The delegates from the outside town
ships came to the convention determined
TO have one of the Superior Judgeships.
They went back without it, as the city,
with Alameda, had made a splendid or
ganization on behalf of Judge Greene and
Sam P. Hall, and it proved invincible.
This defeat, however, was manfully shoul-
dered, and when the motion was made to
make the nominations unanimous no one
cheered more Justify than Murray Town
ship, which had put up strong fight for
its favorite, George w. Langap.
The most bitter struggle was over the
affirmation of Charles Mautalen as COM
mitteeman from the Sixth Ward. Several
votes were taken before the matter was
finally settled, as the convention was
about equally divided as to the indorse-
ment of the chairman of the County Com
mittee.
Quite point was scored by the Alameda
delegation by the insertion of the tidal
canal plank in the platform. This will
cause much discussion later on, and the
communications to the War Department
on the subject will be greatly augmented.
A very attractive delegation of ladies oc-
cupied seats in the galleries and cheered
gayly when the suffrage plank was read.
The Alameda committee had provided a
band to fill in the recesses and the young
ladies of the Methodist church across the
street provided dainty lunch. They
never catered to hungrier or more distin-
guished party, and that Alameda church
has certainly earned the record OF being
able to give a meal for the 5eneht OF the
heathen that was of equal bencnt TO pol
itician.
Early in the day Judge ]. j. Allen an
nounced his withdrawal from the Judge
ship fight and decided to make an attempt
to succeed himself as Justice OF the Peace.
