the Hon j. G. Mcguire for delega te-at-large to

hour and that during said recess recommend
the Fourth Congressional District to organize
and nominate the Hon. j. G. Mcguire for
Congress.
is nominated for Congress that it is the duty
of each and every member of this delegation
and of the Democratic party of this County
generally to watch the conspirators and their
leader to see that they do not betray Judge
Mcguire, as their master did the Hon. ]. J.
McDade, though unsuccessfully, and as he did
the Hon. James G. Mcguire successfully less
than two years ago.
Tom Gallagher spoke against the advisa-
bility of nominating Mcguire at this time
and advocated that he be simply indorsed
until the delegation was properly and
authoritatlvely seated by the action of the
State Convention, and concluded by NOV
ing to strike out that clause which recon-
mended the immediate nomination of
Mcguire.
Donovan combatted this view, claiming
that the delegation was properly elected
and was the legal and regular representa-
tive of the Democratic party of San Fran
cisco.
: Rothschild supported the amendment,
alleging that it would be in bad taste to
make the nomination before the delega-
ton was duly recognized by the State
Convention. He further declared that the
Junta's action in nominating Judge Ma
guire for Congress was wholly null and
without value. He advocated the post
ponement of action on this matter until
after the State Convention.
Walter Gallagher created some merri-
ment by referring to the fact that the unta
gold bug delegation In nominating Mcguire
for Congress had nominated man we'll
known to be in favor of free coinage. He
designated the action of the Junta in
nominating Mcguire as making merit of
necessity.
T. Carl Spelling offered substi tute for
the whole providing that Mcguire be in
dorsed for the Fourth Congressional noml-
nation for Congress. This was accepted
by Tom Gallagher.
Donovan declared he was ready to
change the objectionable resolution so as
TO provide only for the Endorsement of
Mcguire so as to meet the wishes of the
more timid.
Colonel O'Byrne opposed action at this
time, saying that even if the delegation
was refused recognition at Sacramento it
could as an independent body nominate
him.
Andrew J. Clunie strongly advocated
the immediate nomination of Mcguire.
He said that there was railroad influence
at work to prevent the nomination of
Mcguire, and if the delegation did not act
at once it would be inviting the stigma of
being under the collar of the Southern Pa
cidc Company. He continuep:
"Let US nominate him now, and If we
come back from Sacramento victorious we
can nominate him again. But let US act
now and show just where we stand. If you
don't take this action now you put chain
md fhnr of hn uuh
when it goes to Sacramento. Set aside all
technicaIities and nominate him.
NJ. G. Sears raised a point of order that
only delegates of the Fourth District had
the right to speak on the matter under dis
cussion.
Tom Gallagher stated that recognition
at Sacramento would not be asked as a
favor and because the delegation was
friendly to Judge Mcguire, but as right.
He added that the delegation was going
before prejudiced body at Sacramento,
and that it would be much like defend
ant being tried i by a bIibed jury. He
therefore advised caution and wisdom.
Chairman Stanton decided Sears point
of order as not well taken, as the resolu-
ton simply makes recommen endation and
does not impose action.
Donovan exhorted the delegates of the
Fourth District to act as he desired, and
told them it had gone out that they were
not honest In their opposition to the fund
ing bill, nor in their advocacy of Maguires
denomination.
James H. O Brien was desirous of being
given chance to vote for the nomination
of Maguire, as he said he might not
again have chance to do so.
Spelling's substitute TO indorse Mcguire
was lost, and Gallagher's amendment to
strike out shared the same fate.
Donovan's resolution was then adopted
rod hu hoi n fa
