that mud-slinging oratorical effort Of the
much-advertised Davis. Democrats. Pop
ulists and Silver Republicans who were not
present at the opera house were soon made
acquainted with that unpatriotic remark
Of his to the effect that Democrats had no
such thing as sound patriotism and what
little they had disappeared with their Sec
ond wind" When the people started to
leave the hall after that effusion of his he
tried to prevent further frost by telling
funny story, but the meeting was ad-
Journed at an early hour, nevertheless, the
Republican candidates evidently being in
mortal fear of q second dose of the chills.
The Pomona Daily Progress, a non -parti-
san paper, has this to say of Davis a la
Waters speech: "Mr. Davis is fluent
speaker. but his effort Saturday evening
was, In one respect. somewhat of a dis
appointment to the audience" etc. His
sweeping sta tement calling into question
the patriotism of the larger portion Of his
fellow countrymen was the lone respect"

hired him to do city soliciting. orinith's
acquaintance was limited, and his career
as city solicitor was not a success. Both
realized this, and Allen told him to go to
Norwalk, and that he would give him go
per cent of the premiums for all the pol
icies he secured. Griffith was without
means, SO Allen advanced him $225 on a
watch. He went to Norwalk, secured
four applications for policies and returned
to the city. presented the applications and
returned with the policies and secured part
of the premiums, which he retained as his
share.
During all this time Griffith was not
acting as an agent Of the insurance COM
pany, but simply as a solicitor. and had no
written agreement. In the latter capacity
the company was not responsible for any,
thing that Griffith might do. In the evil
dence yesterday 1t was shown that Griffith
had collected only half, or only hts share Of
the premiums and had therefore not en-
bezzled any Of the company's funds. An
other strange feature of the matter de-
veloped was the fact that all the policies
Issued by Allen were good only for one
month, although one party had paid as
high as $3.50 for his policy.
After he had canvassed the place Griffith
decided to go to Barstow, and while en-
gagged in the same business was arrested.
AS there never had been any written
agreement between the parties 1t was i'm
possible to say which one was representing
the correct view of the transaction, and
the jury therefore gave the prisoner the
benefit Of the doubt

THE CITY CAMPAIGN
Another Attempt to Be Made to Agree
on Fusion

Another Attempt to Be Made to Agree
on Fusion
Another attempt is to be made this even-
ing by the union forces to come together
on a fusion basis in the city campaign, a
meeting having been called for 8 o'clock
at Silver Republican headquarters. 1t is
believed, from the feeling prevailing, that
something definite may be decided upon.
The following letter was yesterday sent
to members Of the Peoples party city Gem
tral committee by the chairman:
In accordance with your instructions, !
appointed a committee to confer with the
Democrats and Silver Republicans in re-
gard to fusion In the coming city cam
paign The said committee has held many
meetings. They report that they found
the representatives Of the Silver Republi-
cans fair and just, but that the demands
Of the Democrats we're so exorbitant al
to render useless all further negotiations.
I therefore call upon the members Of the
city central committee to meet at the rooms
of the Silver Republican club, 312 West
Second street, at p. M, Tuesday, October
11th, to determine what course shall be
adopted for the future.
Owing to the general Importance of this
matter and its bearing upon the success
Of the state and county tickets, the pres
ence Of all members of the party is in.

charging him with disturbing the peace.
On Saturday last Fish hired Thompson to
do some work for him, and agreed, If tho
work was satisfactory, to pay him 80 cents.
The work, when completed, was not per-
formed in a manner approved Of by Fish,
and he refused to pay, but afterwards COM
promised by giving him rs cents. Thomp-
son was angry, and said he would take out
the 25 cents on Fish's horse.
Sunday, when Fish went out to see his
horse, he found an ugly cut on the animals
shoulder.
When Thompson was taken into court
yesterday he said he supposed hs was
guilty of disturbing the peace, but said
Fish was as much to blame as anybody.
He will be sentenced today.

Mr.. Wilbur then proceeded to read q plan
which called for q caucus Of all the ward
delegates and apportioned among them the
membership of the committees upon the
basis Of representation BY delegates In the

The men concerned were A. D. McDavit
and D. B. Ferner on one side and w. Ed

the other.
The committee also reported in favor Of
seating George S. Wilson instead of C. b.
Storey in the Eighteenth precinct, and II.
B. Brown instead of e. L. Grubb in the
Fifty third precinct In the fifty-sixth pre-
cinct only two delegates were seated out
of the three elected.
Objections
The chairman of the Eighth ward dele
cation demanded the right to cast the two
votes taken from his delegation, but the
convention wouldn't have 1t. Other objec-
tions were made but the report was adopt
ed as whole and then came the next fight.
Organization
After recommending that the temporary
chairman and three of the six secretaries
be made permanent officers; that 81 from
each delegate and SO from each candidate
nominated be collected for the good of the
cause" the following order of business
was named: Nominations of mayor, su-
perintendent of streets, assessor, treasurer
city attorney, tax collector, auditor, clerk
and city engineer. All ward nominations
to be left to ward conventions to decide
and all speeches to be limited to three min
utes, candidates to have no speech.
The Afro-American Kick
7 No sooner had the report been read than
the Afro-American contingent got up and
howled. Their spokesman said they had
been ignored and insulted. They had pre-
sented the name of a man for assistant
sergeant-at-arms who had been ignomi-
niously shunted and a man on the city
pay roll had been put in his place. r. F..
Tilton was the man who was turned down
for Lewis Young. But Mr.. Tilton threw
the Afro-American fat in the fire by COM
ing forward and stating that his country
men had no kick coming, as he had willing
ly resigned in favor of Lewis. The laugh
that followed this announcement relieved
the tension, but only for a moment.
Delegates Bought and Sold
Judge Nudge arose with his resolution.
It demanded that the committee on organi-
zatdon follow the order of nomination as
laid down in the charter, and as the Judge
warmed up he said things"
There's job In this, and know \
! it." he said. This convention has

GRIFFITH NOT GUILTY
Jury Finds the Charge Of Embezzle-
ment Not Well Founded

B. F. Griffith was adjudged not guilty of
embezzlement by the jury In Justice Nor
risons court yesterday, but this verdict
did not give him freedom. as he has still
to answer to the charge Of having commit
ted a misdemeanor.
Griffith was arrested at Barstow about
the middle Of last month on a complaint
sworn to by E. l.. Allen, who charged him
with collecting money without authority.
The complainant Is the general Southern
California agent for the fidelity Mutual
Aid association, and has his office at 237
West First street.
About the middle Of August, Griffith
called on Allen and asked for employment;
he said he was without funds, but had a
general idea Of the insurance business.
Both statements proved correct and Allen

Silver Republican Convention

A meeting Of the Silver Republican city
central committee was held last evening
at headquarters, full attendance being
present. It was decided to hold the city
convention on the 17th, with It's delegates.
The apportionment of delegates to pre-
cincts was decided upon, and a committee
Of three appointed in each ward to make
appointments. No primaries will be held.
During the discussion 1t was brought out
as the sense Of the committee that fusion
must be effected by any amicable means.
Although some of the members were In IA
vor Of the mass convention proposition
this will not be allowed to stand In fhe
way Of union and victory II the other par
