CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO. Aug 24.-There are intervals at which a convention is dry, and one of these arrived this morning. An nouncement hal been made that order would be called at o'clock.
 Of course nobody really believed it would be, yet the possibility had to be recognized and cut short many nap. When the gavel fell tardily the dele gates were still sleepy Perhaps this is the rear they listened so quietly to the reading of the report of the ere dentials committee and adopted the re- port without comment, and. l am bound to say, without any enthusiasm.
 Then Chairman Neff made known that the platform committee would not be ready for twenty-five minutes and suggested that the space be filled by speeches.
 General Barnes was on the platform and after little vociferous persuasion he advanced to the front. The general is not only a journalist, but candidate for the Senate. To say what is his reputation as an orator would be waste of words. That his speech was bright and witty, marked by a happy
  phrase needs no telling. His tribute to the flag was beautiful of sentiment and expression, and when upon the grave of soldier and sailor dead he laid the wreath of memory there was tender ness and poetry in the phrasing and across the great audience, sitting silent, there swept a wave of emotion.
 To General Barnes stars are not inn a n Q night sky. At times a patriotic climax brought the listeners to their feet with shouting and waving of banners, The idea that where the Stars and Stripes had been lifted there they should re- main was exactly in accord with the idea of the audience. It was when the speaker drew the picture of a volunteer dying in fog-swept Camp Merritt, boy whose soul had fled just as the sentinel had cried at the tent Ten o'clock and all is we'll" even the men could be seen ping their eyes At the end there were three great cheers. Perhaps the speech had no legitimate place in a convention, but l am glad it was there, and venture to assert that no space-rate inspiration will ever in- duce Barnes to write half so well for a yellow journal
 There had been an expectation that George Knight would follow, but when at last Barnes made his bow Knight had disappeared, taking with him the justly celebrated thunder tones which he has, on provocation, been known to loose. A hasty search was made with out avail. and the platform committee still being out of sight recess was taken until 1 o'clock.
 General w. H. H. Hart was in the throng and might have been induced to make a speech, but everybody waited for somebody else to suggest this and as a result nobody did it. Hart was ready. He could have told the story of the time he vas not a drummer boy and how he had been waited into office on a rataplan he had never thought of

dribble, charming the ear and lulling to somnolence the listener. But there was brightness and beauty to the scene, for ladies were there, clad in the catchy hues of summer, and kept awake by the rustic of their own fans.
 Neither must it be supposed that the speeches were all mediocre The worst of the lot was more interesting than the long roll call, and the best of the lot was in respect of delegate during any part of the session. This was the speech of T. B. Hutchin- son of Napa in nominating Judge Buckles
 Hutchinson has the rare faculty of swaying his hearers until they regret when he reaches the limit of his time and feel impelled to cheer him as he takes his seat. In honor of this orator the house resolved itself into a tumuIt of applause.
 There was another gentleman finding instant way into popularity. A. T. Mat lock was the name by which he was announced when he came forward to nominate Judge Ellison. He is a genu- inc wit and there was a roar of laughter into the vulnerable spots of which Matlock projected remarks which chased the quietude to such dis tance that it did not come back until Matlock had retired amidst a storm of congratulations. There was consid- erable show of enthusiasm over the contest for Secretary of State but it was not much of contest after all as Austin so far as I cOujd notice wac never in it and the space between the opening vote and the hullabaloo of the Curry victors was short. As this is written the racket continues and a look of pain is fitting across the counte- nance of Jim Req. Nevertheless the Santa Clara people yielded with the statutory extension of the glad hand, which was heartily clasped

playing at a place he had never thought of being. He could have told of the brigade he did not rise and the commission he did not get, for that the cruel war was over before he and the President had time to arrange these things. Chock full of eloquence, Hart i did not get a chance to spell, and there were several others It was really too bad. To make matters worse some country delegate started the rumor that Knight had flown the coop be- cause he did not care to enter upon an oratorical contest after he saw the gait l Barnes had struck. Knight said later | that it was no such thing, and I prefer i to take his word against that of the ! country delegate, whose favorite son has been smitten neckwise by the mis- fortunes of political war.
 This is written at noon. There is cheering rumor that Reuben Lloyd has shaken the slumber from his lids and will be on hand to let the convention know about the platform immediately after lunch. It ought to be a good platform for the element of haste has been wholly absent from it's prepara- tion.
  This story should have begun with it, but it could not wait. There was some delay owing to the fact that Reuben H. Lloyd had an important report to present, and had not completed his lunch, 50 two thousand people waited in the sweltering pavilion for him to get through. I trust he enjoyed the lunch, that it set well, and that on | he crio Of tlaman will not delay proceedings by a similarly elegant leisure.
 To speed the moments T. V. Eddy made a speech, but with all respect for him I could not notice that 1t speeded them particularly.
 At last MT. Lloyd arrived, and the clerk read the platform. It Is a vol luminous document, thoroughly Re publican, as anybody may observe. The only fault reasonably to be found with it Is that it contains too many words. I do not see the utility of em- bodying in a platform an essay on ir- rigation when there is an understand ing on the part of everybody with the years and sense to vote as to what ir- rigation is. But the platform was American in every plank It was se- were On ddSulTer anu IL IS l1lSIlnCl Wlln patriotism. It did not contain a thing to which a Republican can object, but I cannot understand why the compila- tion of it should have required a num- Der of lawyers to sit up all night Of course it was adopted after it had been applauded, and it deserved both the applause and the adoption.
 The effort to limit nominating | : I collapsed. There were too many fonts of Ciceronian eloquence bottled up to stand any such effort as this to nip | genius.
 T. G. Phelps nominated Pardee. He i is a man of commanding figure, bear | ing well the dignity of years. He l spoke calmly, sensibly and avoided 1 fubdubbery. Alameda rose in it's seats

STOCKHOLDERS LIABILITY. Important Decision in the Sullivan Fraternal Life Association Suit.

An important decision relative to the liability of members of corporations hav- ing no capital stock, for their separate proportion of it's debts and liabilities, was handed do>. n by Judge Seawell yester- day in the case of Mary A. Sullivan against John F. Merrill and some eighty members of the Fraternal Life Associa- tion.
 Mrs. Sullivan brought suit against the various defendants to recover S9 371a from each of them as payment on an insur- ance policy issued on March 10, 1891, on the life of Martin G. Fillmore in favor of the plaintiff. Elmore died in September of 1894, and suit was brought to recover on the policy.
 In the decision handed down yesterday the court held that in the case of French vs. Teschemaker it was concluded that the section of the constitution providing that leach stockholder of a corporation or joint stock association shall be individ- ually and personally liable for his propor- tion of all it's debts and liabilities" was not self-executing, and that legislation was necessary to ascertain the proportion of debts and liabilities s:S for which stock have peculiar force in dealing with cor poration organized as was the Fraternal Life Association, for the purpose of in surfing the lives of its members, and in which the amount of premiums or as- seSSments paid varies, according to the amount of insurance and the age of the member" reads the complaint. '"The certificate of membership annexed to the agreed statement provides for varying rates of premium or assessment. Is each member liable for an equal amount of the debts, or does his proportion depend upon the amount of his interest or con- tribution? Upon this question the stat ute is silent. If I should be Justified in holding that in case of members having an equal interest they should be equally liable for the debts, cannot presume in the absence of either allegation or proof that each of the defendants was insured for the same amount. or that the premiums paid by each was the same ants"

His Creature of Corrupt Pri- -mariies Defeated in
 Convention.
George A. Knight Snubbed by Being Left Of the Committees, Makes Stupid
 Exhibition of Malice.

when the motive of the attack was partly understood in the explanation that Knight felt piqued because he had not received the consideration of mem- bership on any of the convention com mittees. He had publicly remarked the circumstance and in a way to indicate his displeasure. Understanding this the San Francisco delegation refrained from any official notice of the attack.
 The fact was called to the attention of the delegates that Knights only at tempt to sustain his accusation was his unjustified assumption that the fore cast of nominees published this morn ing in The Call was a programme. Knight learned later in the day that the forecast was a prediction justified by careful poll of the convention and an understanding of the combinations made by the different aspirants for of- flee. The absolute accuracy of the fore cast was mistaken by Knight for the certainty of knowledge that a slate would give. When the lawyer learned his absurd mistake his mood changed and all discussion of the incident in which he had figured was allowed to drop.
 At the night session of the conven- tion there was another incident of more than usual political meaning. In the contest for the nomination for Secre- tary of State the most formidable op- ponent of Charles F. Curry was Paul P. Austin of San Jose. Austin had many powerful friends in the conven- ton. Heis admitted to be able, popu- lar and we'll fitted for the honor he sought. Possessing qualifications that clothed him with an advantage, he was handicapped by one serious and as events proved, fatal disadvantage His fight for political honor was managed by Jim Req of San Jose, and as soon as that fact was known the chances of success had vanished for Austin On the other hand Curry's fortunes were

LAS UNI0NES POLITICAS.

In ciertos condados de Nuev,
MeMco preyalece una epidemia febri
en- pro de las unones politicas.
Y esta epidemia, per casualidad {
no sabemos como, ataca dnicament,
a los individuos impregnados del viru.
de la democracia.
Y es curioso obseryar que la vacuna
del republcanismo es casi siempre
ehcaz contra esta emfermedad del
unioniSmo.
Exepto en- casos donde va el repu.
blicanismo ha desaparecido ante los
golpes del descontento 8 del interGs
personal.
Las uniones de Nueyo Mexico son
en- teoria para benefcio del pueblo su-
irlente y desgraciado, y en- practica
para el aprovechamiento unos cuantos
individuos.
La democracia territorial ha seguido
por algunos amos y sigue todavia el
gro dc ganadra politica; los cabe-
clllas unionistas son sus pastores la
chusma de a6liados con el ganado.
Cuando Sc llega la election Sc hacc
rejunta 8 "round up general toda
Ia chorcha entra en- los corrales de-
mocraticos.
Los cabecillas unionistas son muy
carlnosos, muy amigos y muy iberaIes
en- promesas para con el pueblo, y en-
dltimo resultado ellos SC reparten los
empleos, 0 10 que haiga, y el pueblo
queda henchido hasta el coyote de
promesas que nunca sc cumplen, pero
que iueron titles para conseguir los
votos de muchos.
Las uniones son ell refugio de los
partdos caidos de los politicos ambi-
ciosos y desacreditados y de los hon.
bres cTedulos que imaginan que IA
luna es queso.
Examinando a fondo la question
resulta que las uniones polhicas no
tienen mas fundamento que la ambi-
clon, nj mas principle que el botin y
adoran solamente los falsos doses po-
liticos de la democracia.
Las uniones abogan de palabra,
pero atacan con hechos, los intereses
matenales del pueblo de Nueyo
No iavorecen Ia prosperidad del
y siempre estdn sembrando
Ell descontento y el desaiento enue
los ciudadanos pobres { ignorantes.
Las uniones abouecen al partldo
republlcano porqne este partido fayo-
fece ell proteccionismo y ha hecho du-
plicarse los precios de la lana y del
9anado lamar de Nueyo Mexico.
Las uniones odian la ley de tariia
Dlngley porque esta ley proteje al ga
nadero, al borregero, al postor y

torio,
Las uniones favoreeen la acuhaci6n
