MONTEREY POPULISTS
 REPUDIATE FUSION

KINGS CITY, Cal, Sept. 15.-The full delegation of the Populist party of Mon terey County assembled in convention here this afternoon. It soon became known that caucus held by majority of the delegates had decided against fu- sion, and confusion reigned among the various candidates.
 Chairman M. L. Dexter called the ses- dorsed the Omaha platform, and further declared that the Monterey Populists were here to stay and would defend the party's life against all enemies, including fusion.
 After the committees had reported Mark Landrum, amid great applause, an- nounced Secretary Browns decision giv- ticket. An additional resolution was adopted unanimously denouncing the re- cent fusion deal in this State by few and Democratic parties as being both un- Populistc and un-Democratc.
 When nominations were called for all Pugh of Gonzales was proposed. That gentleman expressed his thanks for the honor. but declined. This was opposed by the candidate for Congress, Landrum, who claimed that Pugh should hold the nomination to preserve the name and life of the Populist party in Monterey County: the delegates proposed nominating lady for School Superintendent who Is the nominee of the Democratic party for that office. Hot speeches followed, during which .crimination and recrimination among delegates was the order. Matters finally became so hot that the chairman stated he would order the hall cleared of all disturbers. The attempt to restore harmony by the introduction of a resolu- ton that the convention should not in dorse any candidate nominated by either of the other conventions was like adding fuel to fire, as only more confusion was created. On a vote the resolution was lost, and Mrs. Chope was declared the nominee. She declared that she had al- ways been Populist and did not seek the Democratic nomination.
 Landrum, Miller, Gould and Bousfield, all leading dle-of-the-roadsters, de- nounce the trick of the leaders of the Democratic party and are outspolSen in the opinion that this nomination will re- suit in the disruption If not extinction of the party in the county.
 Where no nominations were made mem bers of the Populist party can vote as they desire, which means success by a large majority for the entire State, .coun- ty and district tickets of the Republican party The members of that party are jubilant over the Populistic fizzle.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 15.-Henry T. Gage received an ovation at the hands of the Republican County Convention to-day. He appeared on the conven- tion floor, and as soon as the delegates and spectators became aware of his presence they arose and with hearty cheers manifested their regard and en- thusiasm MT. Gage was deeply moved by the demonstration, and in response to a general demand he took the plat form and briefly addressed the conven- tion.
 His speech was extemporaneous and covered only few points. After thanking the convention for the honor accorded him he congratulated the del egates upon the personnel or the tlchee they had nominated. He said:
 T am pleased. indeed, that you nave indorsed the San Pedro harbor propo- sition. I have for years battled to bring about that improvement. If l am elected Governor no man will be United States Senator, if I can prevent it, who is not unqualifedly in favor of it.''
 At this juncture voice from the delegates said:
 "Yes, Henry, ana you are going to De Governor.
 To this MT. Gage replied: T hon. estly believe that l will be, but whether [ am or not, I wish to deny the charge and the insinuation of my opponent that I am a tool of any railroad or other corporation. You who have been my friends and neighbors for years know that charge to be lie"
 Loud cries of Yes, yes!" went up o1,ar fha hall
 MT. Gage did not attempt to enter into any discussion of campaign issues further than to uncover some of the fallacies of Judge Maguire's single-tax ideas. Thanking the convention, he left the platform amid storm of ap- .plause and three rousing cheers which the delegates gave with hearty good will
 The convention about concluded its labors to-day. It made almost an en- tirely clean sweep of the Courthouse. Every official in it was Republican and nearly every one of the incumbents waa a candidate for renomination. But

the convention was against the propo- sition of a second term for anybody. The delegates made nominations on the theory that a four-year term was long enough for any man to fill any office as principal so not one incumbent has been renominated.

 This completed the work of the con- vention and after the usual vote of thanks to the officers an adjournment sine die was taken
