There came very nearly being a scene in
the First District Convention late this
afternoon. General j. f. Sheehan and
julius Kahn OF San Francisco hold proxies
IN that convention. The sentiment of the
delegates of Northern California is not
favorable to the expression of preference
for Mr.. McKinley's nomination at st.
Louis, as several took strong grounds
against ''buoking and gagging" honorable
men with pledges. General Sheehan in
a speech favoring ironclad instructions al
luded to some slick missionary work that
had been done against pledging for McKin-
ley. Sheehan did not say on what the work
of the mission had fallen, but this delegate
and that delegate hurled back the insinua-
ton with deal of scorn.
Judge Spencer resented the allusion in a
set speech.
The phrase ''slick missionary work" be-
came more and more distasteful as the
delegates dwelt on it, and was thrown
back with such spirit of scorn and per-
sonality that Matlock of Tehama, the
ready and witty chairman, had to go to
Sheehan's rescue with the explanation
that the General meant foreign missionary
work. The incident was closed with an
all-around laugh.

Yesterday when we met and looked
over the delegations of this convention for
a suitable chairman for it we found a man
whom we thought would fill that position
with honor to all concerned, because we
knew his ability and because we know he
is friend of Mckinley. We decided TO
indorse Frank M. Coombs for chairman.
But since that time another candidate has

tions. If you appoint twenty-one it will
result in discord and disagreements over

decide this question much better than

Mr.. Bradford's remarks were greeted
with applause.

Mahoney Crowd of Suffers Are
Whipped at Every Turn.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, May 5.-The Sem
ate chamber was not large enough to ac-
commodato the crowd that gathered to
hear the proceedings in the contested elec-
ton cases before the committee on creden-
tials. Business of other committees was
practically suspended during the session
of the committee, so absorbing was the
interest felt in the matter. The chamber
looked like old times when some eloquent
Senator was on the. floor on some great
measure.
The lobbies were packed with spectators.
for the most part composed of members
of the State convention, and even the
aisles were crowded. The air was blue
with tobacco smoke, notwithstanding the
request of Janitor Govan that smoking
should not be practiced.
The committee was called to order by
Chairman Gibson of San Diego. After
the announcement that J. NJ Fulweiler of
Placer had been substituted in place of
G. F. Reed, DR.. Pardee was given the floor
to make the opening argument for the
primary delegation.
5Dr. Pardee opened the argument for the
delegates of the primaries with the con-
tention that the Congressional Committee
had no right to appoint delegates to the
State Convention. The delegation repre-
sented by him had come direct from the
people. 1t had never been the custom to
have the delegates appointed. and the
Congressional Committee bad not the
power either to call for the primaries or to
appoint delegates. He contended that the
committee did not act in accordance with
The San Francisco call., 1896-05-06

on credentials. Mccall declared himself
as opposed to seven men being allowed to
settle the dispute of the Fourth Congress
sional District, and moved that the com.
mittee be made twenty-one.
E. f, Preston of San Mateo spoke in
favor of the smaller committee, saying:
al hope that the convention will not
adopt the amendment to increase this
committee. Now you have elected a
chairman who you know is fair and of
good judgment, and seven Republicans
taken from the body of this convention
ought to be able to settle the dispute Of
any convention"
George A. Knight asked for the floor.
announcing himself as from Butte Coun ty.
This at once raised a laugh of derision and
elected the remark from the chairman
that he recognized the gentleman, but was
unaware that he had moved.
Mr.. Knight declared for the larger COM
mittee and his effort was seconded bv
Colonel H l. Kowalsky, who raised an
other laugh by saying, "I am from Men
docino."
This prompted Chairman Arthur to saw
"All the men from the Bay seem to be
moving" He, too, spoke in favor of the
Committee of wenty-one.
Bradford of San Francisco was recog-
nized by the chair, and poured hot shot into

a glance of scorn down into the right of

years.

Middlekauf of Riverside called for the

On motion of Flint of San Benito and
Pittman of Los Angeles the chair was
asked to appoint committee OF seven on
permanent organization and a committee

''Three cheers for Mckinley" shouted
Spear with his hat in his hand.

Spear with his hat in his hand.
Hip, hip, hoorayp' yelled Spear.
Hip, hip. hoorayp' roared the forty.
They were on their feet in the center of
the hall, and Mr.. Spear, with broad
smile beaming on his patriotic counte-
nance, looked around for the delegates to
rise from their seats electrified and to
raise from its supports the massive roof
with a mighty shout for Mckinley of Ohio.
But not cheer responded to the shout
of the forty.
Delegates with Mckinley badges and
portraits on their breasts neither moved
in their seats nor hurrahed. They simply
turned their heads around and looked at
Mr.. Spear with mild surprise, but not
sound issued from their lips, not even one
glad little song of JOY over Mr.. Spears
bubbling, boiling loyalty to protection
and gold"
A few were even so brutal as to la ugh,
and Others snickered coarsely, totally
regardless of the lacerated feelings of that
intensely patriotic and pledged delegation
from the Fourth.
