THE SERPENT TEMPTED HER.

mittee of one hundred met last night In Native Sons Hall and named delegates to the State Convention. Each member of the committee was allowed to name one delegate. The remaining fifty-four will be nominated at a meeting to be held tonight in the same hall, and the election will be held on Monday night.
 It was determined that the committee will appoint delegates at the next meet ing where members have failed to avail themselves of the privilege up to that time. Delegate Heeney was opposed to the motion, on the ground that the right of nominating was vested in the mem bers and could not be taken from them.
 It was found that inadvertently 15S delegates had been provided for. whereas only 154 were allowed. As the latter was the proper proportion, vote was passed to that effect.
 Francis J. Heeney introduced 8 reso- lution, which was accepted without de- bate, to the effect that James D. Phelan be made a delegate at large to the State Convention The suggestion that went with 1t was to the effect that he be made chairman of the delegation.
 Barney McKenna named A. J. Clunie as his representative in the Inlrty-sixth DIS trict. The nomination was opposed by Max Pepper on the ground that MT. Clunie was an officeholder and therefore not eligible. Mir. Mckenna In support Of his nomination cited the case of Mayor Phelan, who had been previously named as delegate at large. Chairman John P. Dunn ruled that the law which read mo clerk or deputy shall be eligible did not apply to MT. CIunie. The ruling was re- ceived with applause.
 A long discussion ensued over the propo- sition that the committee receive nomina- tion from the fifty-four men whe are to be elected at large Barry, Braunhart, Mccarthy and Pepper and others con tributed to the discussion, which resulted In the nominations going over until to- night. Efforts to reopen the question were quelled by adjournment The dele- gates to the State convention, named by

Pledges Broken by the Whispering Boss in Order to Further His Own Polit-
 iCal Ambition.

This plan was opposed by the minority of the committee, which was led by Governor Budd and Robert M. Fitzger- aid. Though McNab and his followers held the majority of the committee, they found their game blocked by the minority, which threatened to present a minority report to the State Com mittee. AS such a course would ex- pose the scheme of McNab to gain con trol of the local Democracy and might result in its defeat by the State Com mittee the Whispering Boss changed his tactics. He agreed to make every reasonable concession to the minority
 provided each member of the commit tee would bind himself to join in mak- ing unanimous report to the State Committee. It was here that the mi

nority, which seemed to have the in- terests of the voters at heart, was tobbed.
 Before subscribing to the unanimous report proposition the minority in sisted that if a new governing body, to be composed of one hundred mem- bers, was to be appointed the said gov erning body should be instructed and required to hold primaries for the cleo tion of delegates to the State and municipal conventions. This, they con tended, would protect the voters, as it would give them an opportunity of ex- pressing their wishes regardless of any combination that might be made in the proposed committee of one hundred A long wrangle followed which was ended by McNab and his followers agreeing to the primary election stipulation of the minority. This point having been settled the minority agreed to the stipulation regarding the presentation of unanimous report to the State Committee. The subject mat ter of this report, which was signed by every member of the committee, is familiar to all It should be understood, however, that the task of instructing the newly appointed committee of one hundred of the primary election stipulation was delegated to McNab, who was to advocate the holding of district club primaries on a plan which he detailed to the committee and which was approved and agreed to.
 The manner in which he carried out his pledges makes very short story

TT PAYS TO FIGHT.
Important Concessions Made to Man ufacturers by the Railroad
 Combine.

 Several months ago the Manufacturers and Producers Association made a strong fight against the railroads discrimination against the manufacturers of this coast in allowing the jobbers of the East rates on manufactured articles that killed To- cal competition. Many conferences. were held. and a representative was sent to the recent convention of railroad men, which resulted in several important concessions being made in favor of the West. That it sometimes pay to fight, even when the opponent is a big railroad corporation. is shown by the following letter, which was received yesterday by the secretary of the association:
 SAN FRANCISCO, July 2s, 1898 Manufacturers and Producers Association, Mills building, city-CentIemen: Referring to correspondence of some time ago regard ing the rate on leaf tobacco from Danville. Va, to San Francisco being just high as on the manufactured article. glad to say that the railroad company has arranged rates satisfactory to us, the charges being but s1 30 on the raS material against g 20 on the manufactured article.
