THE CLOSING SESSION
Judge Murphey Steps into the Breach
and Is Chosen

II became evident soon after the opening
of the evening session that the Democratic
leaders had been doing something besides
eating during the supper time recess The
violent storms engendered during the after
Noon had blown over and a spirit of peace
was generally prevalent.
The first order of the evening was hear
ing the reports of the various township con-
yentions upon their nominations for JUS
tices and constables.
After some delay Senator Del Vale again
took the chair from Mr.. James, who had
presided during the lungtryins ordeal OF
settling the township convention affairs.
Mr. James offered a resolution providing
for the appointment of a committee of five
whose names he suggested to attend to the
filling of possible vacancies on the ticket
Mr. Allender offered an amendment that a
committee be elected. one member from
each supervisorial district, which should
constitute fusion campaign committee.
having the same powers as the committee
advocated by Mr. James. also the general
supervision OF the campaign. The amend
ment was carried, and for few moments
the convention broke up into supervisorial
district conventions, which upon reconNen-
ing as a whole reported the following Sc
lections for members OF the committee:
First district-J. w. Adams.
Second district-R. W. Ready.

not candidate. nor did he desire the nom
nation for district attorney. but IL such
course were necessary for harmony he
would consent to accept the candidacy n
offered to him by the three conventions.
There was great interest shown In tho
question before the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
A. w. Hutton or ]. N. Phillips would be the
choice Of the convention for candidate for
district attorney. There was no doubt
about Phillips strength on a straight vote.
but the desire Of the delegates to promote
harmony resulted in practically unani.
nous acceptance of the conference report.
and A. w. Hutton was nominated as the
choice Of the convention. but the Populists
insisted emphatically upon retaining the
right to fill any vacancy that might occur
in the list of offices allotted to them.
The usual routine Of the conclusion Of a
convention occupied but a few minutes.
and the Popuhsts adjourned subject to the
call Of the chair

The Contest Over
AS soon as Judge Phillips had concluded
his speech Earl Rogers was on his feet
with a motion to adjourn until 1880. Mr.
Alender attempted to make point of or
der that the motion to adjourn was not In
order He was overruled. as was Mr.. New
by In a pa riamentary inquiry IS to whether
any candidate was before the convention
George Washington Albright, the Ca
huenga statesman. then raised the poin.
that no business had been transacted since
the call for the previous question and
that the motion to adjourn was therefore
not in order. Chairman Del Vale, after y
minutes hesitation, recognized the force of
Mr.. Albright's contention and ruled the
point well taken.
The original motion was about to be put
when Mr. Rogers made his way to the plat
form and formally withdrew the name of
Judge Phillips.
The convention then took recess until
7:30.

that district. On motion Of Mr.. Cooper the
nominations for that district and the Sew
enty-first were left in the hands Of the
executive committee of the county central
committee. who were also empowered to
fill any other vacancies on the ticket caused
by death or declination.
The resolutions committee not having re-
ported on the communication from the AL
lied Printing Trades above mentioned the
resolution was taken up as special order
by suspension of rules. After some little
discussion 1t was tabled, the convention
being of the opinion that it's requests were
sufficiently covered in the state platform.
Hanley Endorsed
James Hanley, the Democratic nominee
for sheriff, was then presented to the con-
vention. which greeted him with three
cheers. Mr.. Hanley made very short
speech. in which he said: yesterday l
did not want the nomination for sheriff
but now want 1t worse than any fellow You
ever saw" Although the Democratic NOM
nation had not been officially reported.
the convention, on motion of Judge Phil
lips. unanimously made Mr.. Hanley Its
nominee also.
MIR. Cooper moved that the convention
extend its thanks to the people Of Santa
Monica for their cordially and thought
fulness for the welfare of the convention.
The motion was unanimously carried.
Thomas Golding was appointed COM
mittee to wait upon the Democrats and ask
them for a report Of their nominations.
Assembly Nominations
A committee from the Democratic con-
vention then appeared with the notification
that the convention had unanimously rat
ified the nomination Of j. w. Hudson for
senator from the Thirty-eighth district.
On motion of L. NJ. Holt the convention
proceeded to the nomination of assembly
men from the various allotted districts.

Jobbed-Assembly Nomina-

The Silver Republicans put In rather
lazy time of 1t yesterday morning, Chair
man Sheldon's admonition to the conven-
ton. "Be at ease for few minutes" was
often heard.
Tpon the call to order at 10 o'clock Judge
Phillips took the floor and said that he had
been before the committee, meaning the
rev conference committee appointed the
night before and he was there informed
that Judge Hutton might be candidate.

1--WE rendered Judge Phillips the nomina-
ton for senator in the Thirty-sixth dis
trlct. He accepted, saying 1t was happy
solution of the whole question. His acts
since have been in bad faith. l say this in
sorrow, but a stern sense of duty compels
me to this course"
The storm was raging In full fury when
Judge Guthrie again mounted the plat
form. and In n short speech, full of We
hemence. withdrew tho name of Judge
Hutton as candidate. ".Iudge Hutton is
not and cannot he candidate in the pres
ent state of affairs" said he. "He Is not

not be dragged in by the heels. ! now

Grafton"
After many speeches Mr.. Allender moved
that Phillips be nominated by acclamation,
bat there arose a storm of opposition.
The Case Outlined
Judge Stephens, in the best speech of the
day. opposed this motion. He said, in
part:
"In view of the disclosures made, it
would be indiscreet to nominate. Publish

Sitting here as brothers with a common
end in view we cannot afford to trample
under foot the recommendations of a COM
mittee which was appointed with the con-
sent and at the suggestion of all parties
concerned in this dispute. That committee
has made its report. Judge Phillips has
agreed to abide by that report and we can
not now act in defiance of the measures

IT do not desire the nomination. See letter

After the presentation OF ]. W. Hansel-
man, nominee for assessor, the secretary
read Judge Hutton's letter, which Is printed
elsewhere.
A message from W. B. Mayes was read
stating that he could not accept the NOM
nation for assemblyman from the Seventy
fourth district. Colonel Uriah Forrest was
named IN his place.
After this the convention again took its
ease" with the result that by o'clock there
were three people in the hall.
Evening Session
The convention had little to do In the
evening but to ratify the remaining nom
nations made by the Democrats and Pop
ulists as fast as they were sent in.
AS soon as that work was completed the

selman for assessor and Captain ]. C. New
ton for treasurer.
Henry T. Hazard reported that the fusion
committee had. after much elaboration and
discussion, decided to give the district at
torneyship to the Democrats.
Black and White
The only noteworthy speech Of the session
was made by j. L. Edmonds, colored del
egate. in support of resolution he had in
troduced pledging legislative nominees II
elected to work for the RECESSION of section
leo of the Civil Code. which forbids inter.
marriage between the white and black
races. Mr.. Edmonds said that he had no
desire to see intermarriage between the
races, but that the present code provision
was a standing provocation to unlawful
mingling He waxed quite eloquent In de.
scribing the attitude of the negro in the
wars of the nation. The resolution. which
is given below, was unanimously adopted
without discussion, upon motion of Mr.
Petchner:
Resolved, That It Is the sense Of this
convention, after mature consideration,
that section GO of the Civil Code is in
violation of the fundamental principles
upon which this government is founded
as interpreted by the Declaration Of In
dependence, and also contrary to the
laws Of nature or natural law, and
ought to be repealed We therefore in
struct the candidates of this convention
for the senate and assembly to use all
honorable means to procure the repeal
of said section.
The nomination of George W. Hill OF
Pomona for supervisor by the delegates
from the First supervisorial district was
ratified.
Settled at Last
The district attorneyship was brought ur
for the last round by Colonel Dunkelberger
who, not having been present at the pre-
vious days session, reviewed the whole
matter, stating that the Silver Republicans
had made a mistake in accepting the NOM
nation for tax collector instead of that for
district attorney.
At this point the news was brought that
Judge Guthrie at the Democratic conven.
ton had just received a telegram from
Shirley c. Ward saying that Judge Hutton
would accept the nomination If rendered to
him.
Mr.. Hazard took the floor and spoke with
characteristic energy in defense of the fu-
sion committees action, pointing out the
absurdity of indorsing Judge Phillips OF
any one else. particularly in view Of the
telegram just received and the fact that
Phillips himself had nominated Hutton be-
fore the Democratic convention. The other
Silver Republican members of the commit.
tee expressed themselves as concurrina
! with Mr.. Hazard, after which a motion by
Mr.. Cole that the committees report be
