The record-union., 1898-08-23

was good showing of badges for L. H.
Brown for Governor, there was a vast
number for Gage, and many for Par
dee. DR.. Pardee and Henry S. Gage
are both on hand, and the feeling
among their followers is strong, though
the campaign is running quietly. The
delegates have been so chivalrous as to
visit each others headquarters, and
the feeling existing among them is not
bitter, though very pronounced.
It was noticed that Charles S. Patton
of San Francisco had number of fol-
lowers who urged his nomination for
the office of Governor as second choice.
One of the most important move
ments of the day was the caucus of the
Los Angeles delegates, who adopted
the unit rule and agreed to cast their
solid votes $50 for Gage for the office
of Governor. 1t was also resolved to
nominate r. ]. Waters for Congress in
the Sixth District Frank H. Davis
was his chief opponent. Though Cap
/ tain John Cross was a candidate for
Railway Commissioner there was con-
siderable question whether the nomina-
tion would not go to A Blackstock Of
Ventura
between TREY L. Ford and Deputy At
torney General Charles H. Jackson for
the office of Attorney General. The
friends Of each candidate for the nomi
nation seemed confident of success, the
fight being free from bitterness and
personalities.
1t was rumored that ex-Mayor Davies
of Oakland had consented to come to
a hxy of a
Alameda delegation, put DR.. George
Pardee in nomination for the office of
Governor.
The headquarters of Henry I. Gage
and of DR.. Pardee were crowded
all day with enthusiastic supporters of
each of the candidates, but there
seemed no way of judging whether Ell
ther of the candidates had made much
headway On the part of Gage it was
claimed last night that he would carry,
besides the So votes Of his own county,
the following: Monterey 10, Orange
II, Riverside II, San Bernardino
Is, San Diego 16, San Francisco
Barbara II, Santa Clara 33, and
tions large enough, so the Gage men
without much delay. These claims
however, are denied by many, some Of
whom now begin to predict that dark
horse may have a good chance to win.
V. A Gregg of San Luis Obispo Coun-
ty is a candidate for Congress from the
Sixth District He is in the city, and
says his chances are bright.
Frank H Marston of San Francisco is
Iox xlr J, or
the Supreme Court. His friends insist
that he will make a good fight, though
he says he is not in the race.
It is said that there will be a warm
caucus of the San Francisco delegates
to-day at 1870 at the convention hall
Among other features of the conven-
ton was the presence of large num-
Der of newspaper men from the interior.
The following, among others, We're

Lake County Bee" George Horton

perintendent cf Public Instruction. He
comes Win the It ISSilO dSlCSotiOll pN-
hind him NJ. J. Wright, for Surveyor
General, and E. P. Colgan, for Control
Ter. seem to have little opposition for
denomination.
Charles F. Curry, County Clerk of
San Francisco, and Paul Austen Of San
Jose are the chief candidates for Sec
retary of State.
Judge A j. Buckles of Solano County
is making a strong fight for Associate
Justice Of the Supreme Court.
Ex-Judge D. J. Murphy and Con-
gressman Loud are the chief candidates
for Congress from the Fifth District.
In the First Congressional District
it is said that there is no opposition
to the nomination of J. A. Barham.
1t seems to be generally understood
that the Craftsmanship will rest be-

Judge Frank Short of Fresno.
