SECOND DISTRICT.
Grove L. Johnson and j. II. Neff Go as
Delegates.

The Second Congressional meeting
was held in the Senate Chamber at IL
a. M, and was called to order. by Hon.
J. NJ Kidder of Nevada, who called for
nominations for Temporary Chairman.
Assemblyman w. M. Cutter of Yuba
nominated Mr. Kidder, who was elected
by acclamation.
On motion of Hon. E. c. Hart, Frank
d. Ryan of Sacramento was elected
Secretary.
Tuttle of Placer moved that the Chair
appoint a committee of five on creden-
tials. Carried.
The Chair appointed Tuttle of Placer,
Mcbride of Nevada, irwin of Yuba,
Bell of Butte and Dray of Sacramento.
McQuarrie of San Joaquin said that,
as there was a contest in Sacramento
over the delegation, he thought that
San Joaquin should have something to
say, and that Sacramento should not
pass upon its own delegates.
A storm of motions ensued which
We're not put.
Judge Walling of Nevada moved that
the convention take a recess until the
meeting Of the State Convention has
been held, and that those declared del
egates by the State Convention shall
be delegates of this convention.
Cutter said that the committee would

convention. in accordance with the call
of the Republican State Central Com
mittee, the Committee on Credentials,
without investigating the merits Of the
controversy, decided that the contest
ants had no legal standing before the
committee"
Mr.. Tuttle also stated that F. r.
Dray, being a member of the commit
tee, and also one of the contesting dele
gates, did not participate in he matter
so far as the Sacramento delegates were
| concerned.
! Mr.. Cutter moved that the report be
| adopted as read.
| Mr.. Walling of Nevada wished the
| Chairman of the Committee on Gre
dentials to favor the convention with
the rule to which he referred.
| Mr.. Tuttle then read the concluding
| portion of the call of the State Cen
| tral Committee, to the effect that con-
+! tests must be filed with the Secretary
| of the Congressional Committee in
writing, with a full statement of the
| ground of contest five days preceding
the meeting Of the State Convention.
Mr.. Walling moved that the report
/ be referred back to the Committee on
! Credentials with instructions to ex-
| anime into the merits of the contro-
versy and report thereon.
| Mr. Walling-Mr. Chairman, / want
to say just a word. When I made a
motion here this morning to do certain
| things, l was met with the proposition
| that the State Central Committee had
/ nothing to do with this convention,
| and this convention said so, too. Now
| the committee brings in a report here
| based upon rules of the State Central
| Committee as to the State Convention,
| and it is proposed now that this con-
vention shall be bound by the rule of
the State Convention, when this morn
ing we were not bound by anything
And l want to say another thing
| that l am not in favor of deciding con-
| tests that have merit in them on a mere
| technicality. 1t is not in the interest
| of the party, nor in the interest,
as l think, of anybodysinterested in the
| success of the Republican party or its
candidates. I believe, if there are
merits in this controversy, they ought
| to be passed upon, and not a mere tech
nical advantage taken of a mere tech
nicality
My point Is this, that 1T is not even
a technicality. 1t has no reference to
| this delegation at ALL If it has, why
then the State Central Committee has
| provided the rule for this convention,
and / submit that it ought to go to

pass on credentials for this convention
only. His credentials were as mem
Der of this convention, and not of the
State Convention.
c. T. Jones said that the delegates to
which he belonged were not afraid to
have the matter passed on. He had no
objection to the passage of Judge Wall
ing's motion, and in the interest of
harmony he would support it.
Buell. of San Joaquin and Cutter of
Yuba said that the State Convention
had no right to decide who should be
delegates to this convention 1t pos
sesses the power to decide on who shall
be members of it's own body.
The call of the Congressional Com
mittee was read, and Judge Fulweiler
of Placer asked for the reading of the
action of the State Central Committee
in giving the Congressional Commit
tee authority to call this convention.
The State Central Committees au-
thorization was read by Frank d.
Ryan.
Lehe of San Joaquin opposed giving
the San Francisco delegation and the
Los Angeles delegation power to decide
who are the delegates from the Second
District He did not propose to have
the convention vote away its rights.
F'ulweiler said that the State Con-
vention would appoint its Committee on
Credentials, and the first question it
would ask would be: Has your conven-
tion decided who are the delegates be-
longing to it?' And when told it had
not the committee would say: 1--WE can
not touch the matter until your conven-
ton passes on it's own membership"
Walling said that the contest would
take two or three hours, and would not
be finished in time for the State Con-
vention. His motion was made to save
time.
Lehe moved that a recess be taken for
twenty minutes to let the convention
hear the contest.
Lehe, Fulweiler, Brown of Yuba and
matter to the delegations from other
parts of the State, who had no interest
In it, and said it had better be settled
right here.
f. c. Hart said he was satisfied that
the contest could not be heard in twenty
minutes and Lehe said he would make
the time l o'clock
Judge Walling withdrew his motion
and the convention adjourned till /

rado, Inyo and Tuolumne Counties.
In the Sacramento County contest
both factions were on hand to present
their cases.
c. T. Jones stated that the call re-
quired the filing of contest five days
before the convention, with the Secre-
tary of the Congressional Convention,
and this had been done.
William Henley, for the contestants.
admitted that the contest had not been
filed until Monday, but claimed that the
neglect was due to his being misin-
formed by Secretary Royster of the
committee, who told him that there was
10 limit. He also objected to f. r. Dray
sitting in judgment, as he was one OF
the delegates whose seat was contested
Mr. Dray said he did not intend to
vote in this matter, and Mr.. Royster
said he told Mr. Henley he did not know
the limit of time.
Irwin asked if the call did not give the
County Committee the right TO appoint
delegates, and being answered in the
affirmative, he moved that the commit
tee adopt the list of delegates appoint
ed, as there was no legal contest.
Mr.. Henley asked 10 be heard, on the
ground that the contestants represent
ed large part of the Republican party.
Mr.. Dray said that they had hearing
before the County Central Committee
but were not satisfied with the result
hence the protest.
The committee then decided to report
in favor Of seating the delegates nomi-
mated by the County Central Commit
tee.

A Most WONDERFUL FREAK.-
There is a most wonderful freak
living in the mountains OF Hamp-
shire county, by the name of Joseph
Wigfeld. He is 19 years old, three
feet tall and possessed of double
knee joints that enable him to use
his feet with the same ease that an
ordinary man uses his hands. One
of his knee joints turn up and the
other down, and he can stand on
one foot, bring the other up his back
and lift his hat off, or he can place
his foot against one side of bis face
and scratch his nose with his toes.
The most remarkable trick that he
does is that of tying his legs into a
knot. When he walks his legs are
very wide apart. He can walk
straight, but it tires him greatly.
He lives with widowed mother.

THE CRY BAND.-In a converse
tion with Professor J. O. Broken.
shire we ascertained that he had con-
cluded to remain with the Martins
burg City Band, and would not, as
represented, sever his connection
with this excellent organization.
Negligence in practice and attend
ance had allowed the band to deteri.
crate little, but now all that has
gone by. The older members have
renewed interest, younger members
have worked assiduously for success,
rehearsals are well attended and al
together new life has been instilled
into the whole organization. The
band has an excellent reputation,
and now it will excel itself. The en-
couraging attendance of President
Curtis is doing good, and to man
every one seems TO be doing his
duty. Now, gentleman of the band,
remember your past successes, get
together, "dig in, as they say, and
let US be facile princeps within a

derstand that you are rehearsing for
a grand concert. The people will be
with you, as they always have been
and all will help you to gain the

a CORRECTIONAL correction by

ley Democrat of the 7th inst. that
Opequon District was carried by the
Democrats 10 the recent election,
claiming it to be the banner district
and picturing a rooster growing over
it. Why, Opequon went Republican
by l24 majority 10 1892, and his
year it has Republican majority of
4l2. Why, that rooster should have
been painted upside down. with l6
to l choke in his throat But the
honor of saving Opequon District
belongs to Ridenour's alone. Should
not the glorious 8xl2 flag of our
Union float proudly above her yot-
ing precinct? Did she not stand
like white rock in the tempest and
shield her weaker sister, Swan Pond
alias mud pond, from her infatuation
for Bryan, cheap money and nation
al dishonor? And though she could
not keep Swan Pond from making a
fool of herself, she did save Opequon
District for the grand Republican
party, and long may the loyalty OF
her sturdy, brainy sons sway the
sentiment OF the district and swing
her aloft ever for progress and ma
tional honor !!
