In fact, too long, but the grand test of

Horace Davis Nominated by the
Fakirs Without His Con-
sent.

Horace Davis was seen by a CALL re-
porter at his residence last night and was
asked whether he intended to accept the
nomination. Mr.. Davis said:
81 have not consulted any one about the
nomination, nor has any one consulted
me. It would not be of any use for me to
entertain proposition to stand for office
unless the party was united here. 1
could not afford to run as a candidate Of
any one wing OF the party.
Even if the party were united | would
not accept a nomination unless l were
given good Board OF Supervisors, with
whom / could work so as to secure an
honest administration of the city's affairs.

Operation to Be Performed Upon "Monk,,
Cummings, the Newsboy.
"Monk" Cummings, the crippled news
boy, who has been a familiar figure at
Powell and Market streets for two or
three years, will go to the French Hos
pital this morning to diet himself for an
operation to be performed on Saturday by
DR.. J. Albert Noble of the Emporium
building.
Monk is now 81 years of age. He was
born in the Northwest and while baby
teething he was paralyzed in both legs
from the knees downward and his left
arm was also rendered almost useless.
His parents died when he was a child.
DR.. Noble, whose Office windows covered
the corner of Market and Powell streets
has agreed to operate on the little fellow
gratuitously. The operation will be per
formed on Saturday, and it will be several
weeks before "Monk" will be able to re-
sumo business again, so that his friends
are not only anxious to raise enough
money to pay for bis care at the hospital.
but to have something for him to start

Forty-fifth-William Gatelv.


alex. 7. Vogelsang, chairman of the
com mlttee on resolutions, took the plat
form, when, at 10 o'clock, the legislative
matter was finally disposed of, and sub
mitted the com mittee's report on the reso-
lutlons referred to it, providing for the ap-
polntment of three committees to report,
respectively, nominees for judicial posi-
nons,. for the Board of Supervisors and
Board of Education.
The committee recommended that no
committee on judicial nominations be ap.
pointed, such nominations to be made in
open convention.
The committee unanimously recon-
mended that Supervisors be nominated
by the convention at large. Much APP
plause. 1t was further recommended
that names be called for by wards, and
that names be handed to the secretary in
writing, no further action to be taken upon
them for three days.
As to the Board of Education there was
majority and a minority report, the
former favoring the committee plan and
the latter recommending nominations in
open convention. The minority report
was signed by six members.
Eugene n. Deuprey moved the adoption
OF the ne ajority report, but it was decided
to take up the recommendations seriaJim.
The first and the second portions of the
report were adopted without discussion,
the second with applause.

religious freedom, and therefore that the
clause was unnecessary.
DR.. j. L. York and ]. ii. Tingman made
laudatory speeches on the platform, de-
claring it gem and perfect as it stood.
On being put TO a vote it was adopted
unanimously amid uproarious enthu-
siasm.
Joseph Asbury Johnson, on behalf of
the conference committee, stated that so
far nothing definite had been done in re-
gard TO fusion with either wing of the
Democrats. He had found, however, that
nowhere was the Peoples party regarded
the committee be continued till the next
meeting.
After deal of warm discussion, pro
and con, Chairman Daywalt ruled that
nominations were out of order till the re-
ports of the conference and resolutions
committees were heard. These had been
laid over till next meeting, hence nomina-
tions were by this ruling deferred till
then.
Dr. ]. L. York was then called to the
stand and made very soothing and moli-
flying speech, aimed especially at those
delegates who wanted the convention to
rise in its might and electrify the City by
making nominations.
York then proceeded to say that at
heart he was a socialist, and thought
every other man was, too. As usual, the
audience applauded. but as it began to
dawn upon them that this was
heretical doctrine they s'looked one at the
other and gan TO counsel among them
selves"
Then after another brief speech by
George ID. Gillespie the convention ad-
lourned till Thursday evening at 8.

but every body breathed freer when the
crisis was past.
After the rollcall the committee on cre-
dentiaIs gave notice that Robert Miles had
been substituted as delegate to the con-
vention from the Thirty-irst District in
place of DR.. J. L. York and DR.. G. b.
Cleveland from the Thirty ninth in place
of w. B. Dunlap.
The following delegates from the Forty
fourth were seated: Joseph l.. Kehrlein,
NJ. A. Brown, B. j. Pye, J. K. Ross, II. J..
Wilson, NJ. ]. Hearney, A. A. Ross, John
Keane and Robert Hamilton.
Hon. T. Y. Gator was then called to the
platform amid the plaudits of the assem-
blage and made very eloquent speech.
at the conclusion of his remarks Gator
was loudly applauded.
Hon. Taylor Rogers, chairman of the
committee on platform, then read the re-
port of that committee.
I'VE have made this enunciation of
principles remarkably brief" he began,
land if adopted and put into operation it
will completely make useless the verbose
new charter" The platform is as follows:

by ex-State Senator TREY L. Ford, who

part of the State, and filled with encour-
agement over the outlook in that section
for Mckinley and protection.
Music and song were introduced as
variation to the exposition of Republican
doctrines, and to the evident approval of
more persons than the bevy OF women in

also delivered an extemporaneous speech,
