devoted to the work of selecting nomi- nees, and the last name on the ticket should carry as much strength as the name at the head of the ticket. The Governor declared that he did not be- lieve this to be a Republican year, but was of opinion that it would prove to be so unless the Democrats went about the work of selecting candidates with care and deliberation. As he believed these conditions could not be developed in San Francisco, he was unwilling to see the convention brought here He said that harmony prevailed in the Repub- lican party, and the hope the Democrats have for success is in careful and har- monious action, first at the convention and then in the campaign.
 Among those who spoke for Sacra- mento were Judge Hinckson, A. Cani- netti, J. Marion Brooks and Mayor Land of Sacramento. Santa Cruz found supporters in Mitchell of Los Angeles. Gould of San Francisco and Clark of Santa Cruz. Norval withdrew the name of San Francisco.
 The question was then put to 8 vote,

over until the next meeting was put and carried without a dissenting voice.
 All of the individual members of the committee agree in saying that under no consideration will the Democratic convention be held earlier than August, as they believe that to surrender to the Populists and hold the convention in July would entail loss of party pres tige that would overbalance the good that could be expected to come from fusion with a party that is notoriously weak. This being understood, the Popu- lists will either have to surrender their newborn dignity or there will be no fusion.

 The San Francisco Scottish Thistle Club held its monthly meeting last Thursday night, when the programme prepared by the games committee of the events for the sixteenth annual gather ing to be held at Shell Mound Park or July was submitted and indorsed
 The programme comprises some forty events, embracing a number of new fea- lures, and s3000 in prizes besides medals will be distributed.

 It was decided, at the meeting that the soldiers and sailors of the army and navy and all persons a~~earing in Highland costume will be admitted to the games free of charge. The club has determined to make this years celebration surpass any of its previous efforts and no ex- pense will be spared to that end.

was the fixing of a date for the holding of the convention. A motion was made deferring the business of fixing date until a special meeting for the purpose was called by the chairman. Lay nance of Alameda moved to amend by fixing August 23 as the date. This was opposed by J. Marion Brooks, who said that time should be granted to those who were trying to bring about a fu- sion between the parties favoring free silver. Judge Hinckson pointed out that the Populist party convention is to be held July 13, and he was of the opinion that 1t would be advisable to hold the Democratic convention on the same date. Hinckson was alone in this view of the situation, as all are agreed not be held earlier than the middle of August. At the same time a majority of the members of the committee are willing to give the Populists an oppor- tunity to recede from the position they have taken, and this opportunity is to be furnished by leaving the date of the Democratic convention open until the PopuliSts have had time to think the matter over and perfect some plan by which they can proceed with the hold ing of their convention in July and at the same time give authority to some plan of fusion that can be presented to the Democratic convention in August Governor Budd is the advocate of such a plan, and at his suggestion Lay nance withdrew his amendment, and the motion to allow the matter to go

Senator Dawes then stated
that his argument and questions
should not be taken to indicate
his opinion, but were PROPOSE
tions the commission was called
upon to confront, and he want
ed our suggestions.
Major McKennon said to me
that he had never considered

fact that improvements were

such a method could probably

Senator Dawes, in my opinion,

in my life. That he wants to
do what is right, is to my mind,
beyond question. Notwith-
standing the length of time he
has been on the commission his

as thorough and accurate as it
should be.

pie would concede anything to
obtain titles. | told him that
they would do much more than
fairness would demand to ac-
complish this result, but they
could not afford to be literally
swept off the face of the earth
in order to get titles. He said
that no other factor had done

towns, and anything which SER

of two points was recorded shortly

Manchester yarns were in moderate

the commission for short time
and presented our contention

Dawes seemed much surprised
when advised that the courts

to him that the person in pos
session under a quit-claim deed
