G. B. Dean being selected. while the
Second District adjourned without
making any nomination. These two
are conceded to the Democrats, but in
the Third District, which the Populists
expect to retain, there was more life
Judge J. l.. Dryden of San Diego was
nominated by reclamation after the
delegates had listened to several lau-
datory speeches
The report Of the committee on con-
ference was presented and adopted
The equalization districts then met
and made the following dummy nom
nations, with the exception of the
for the time; Second District, William
B. White, Oakland; Third District,
George Thresher: Fourth District, M
w. Motherall, Kern
a resolution was adopted permitting
the Silver Republicans to present the
names of their candidates for Clerk of
the Supreme Court and one Supreme
Court Justice, those being the two po-
sitions allotted to them according to
the terms of the conference
The Congressional districts were
given an opportunity to make their Sc
lections. The Seventh District reported
that it had already nominated c. A.
Barlow. The Second renominated Ma
rion de Vries, the Third John A Jones
of Alameda and the Sixth c. H Castle.
The First, Fourth and Fifth districts
adjourned to meet at the call of their
respective chairmen. They will await
the action of the Democrats before pro-
ceeding further.
Nominations for Lieutenant Governor
being in order, Motherall presented the
name of T. w. Naples of Kern. who.
he said, was the only member Of his
delegation. who had not bolted.
Carlson nominated E. L. Hutchinson.
according to the prearranged pro-
gramme, and the usual flood of second
ing speeches was turned loose. States
man Montieth's defamation was inter-
rupted by the announcement that San
tiago had fallen and the convention
broke into loud cheers. After everybody
had become thoroughly tired of all the
talk over the merits of the two candi-
dates Naples withdrew and Hutchin-
/ son was nominated by reclamation.
After that it was easy. There were
few patriots who cared to be set up by
! the convention only to be hauled down
again, and so as rapidly as anybody
could be found to make the sacrifice he
! was rushed through unanimously. In
this manner A. B. Kline, for Secretary
of State; A. r. Sprague of Los Ange-
| les, for Treasurer; George w Hoyle,
for Attorney General, and George H
/ Rogers, for Surveyor General, were de-
/ clared the nominees of the convention
For Controll-r ]. w. Reay, T. w
Naples and John w. Keegan were NOM
! mated. Reay and Keegan withdrew
however, giving it to Naples by accla-
| nation.
The Silverites then had their inning
and the unusual spectacle was present
ed Of Republicans appearing before a
! PopuliSt convention on invitation and
nominating candidates for Office who
were ratified unanimously. Judge Phil.
| lips presented the name of H. l. Nc
| Craney of Sacramento for Clerk Of the
Supreme Court, and in doing so took
occasion to touch upon his quarrel with
George w. Baker.
Nathan Cole Jr nominated Judge
Walter Van Dyke of Los Angeles fol
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court
and after he had been formally passed
upon the Populists put up A. c. Mousel
of San Diego as their dummy for the
second Supreme Justice.
For Superintendent of Public Instruc.
ton Chris Runckle of Dutch Flat was
the unanimous choice, Professor N A
Richardson of San Bernardino with.
drawing in his favor.
Percy B. Preble of Alameda was giver
the empty honor of the nomination 70,
Public Printer. which completed the
ticket with the exception of the few
| pldCtS lcll open.
Sprague, from the committee on reso
buttons, presented the following, which
was adopted:
