 MT. RogerS-I withdraw my objection. . MT: Heeney-Mr. Chairman and gentle men or the convention, 1 am a member of tne committee of one hundred which has been So often referred to in this discus slon l feel that it is due to myself as well as to the convention that 1 should state the exact position in which flnd myself. l presume that 1 am the gentle man that was referred to by our honored Mayor, MT. Phelan, when he said that We nave recruits among us who are going forward with a fanatical devotion 10 Principle without looking to results. Gen Nemen and fellow-Democrats, there have been thousands of men in the history or this world who have given up thelr lives as sacrifice to the establishment or principle, and each and every one or these men was at the time declared to be fanatic.
 Gentlemen of the convention: To me human liberty Is a much greater ana dearer thing than the lowering of the taxation in the city and county or san Francisco. The Democratic party has been the bulwark against t--e encroach- ments upon the liberties of the people, and it Is to that party that we must look for protection today and not to the representatives of the great corporations of the country who declare themSeIVeS, as a rule, members or tue INePuDAiSe ehiA papty, and upon the argument that has often been made to me: Why don you come in as a Republican; you ma much better class of people in the Repuo- lcan party than you find in the Demo cratic party" judging the people by the character of coats they wear upon their backs l am not in favor of depriVing the Democratic party of San francisco Of the right to say who shall be its repre- sentative in State convention or in a municipal convention or in a district con- .1,4- Ny,18f S2Ea of : 100 refused to hold primaries. and l will admit that the fight for primaries was made In that committee at day when it was too late for the committee to sue cesSfully hold honest primaries for the election of delegates to the State conYen- tion.
 I say that the delegation known as the Harney delegation must, in the interest of good government, walk out Of this :. convention and not demand that they be seated, just as MT. Dockweiler, who Is we1l-known anti-railrOad man, acQuiesced ; in the good judgment of the Los An . geleS delegation and of this convention, when he submitted gracefully and said: :
 l will not ask to be made chairman of this charge has been made against me, false as it is"
 The Chair-The question is on the mo. .ti0n of Colonel Gibson to adopt the mi noTity report, giving to the delegation represented by Major Harney half vote In this convention and making certain other recommendations
 =. After the roll call was completed the chair announced the result as follows:
 The vote as passed stands 19S12 ayes, : 42l13 noes, without San Francisco being counted" (Applause.)

THEY FUSED.
Democrats Get the State Board or
 EnualiZation.

CALL HEADQUARTERS. SACRA- MENTO, Aug. 1S.-It was after midnight when the committee on fusion adjourn ed. The session had been a very harmo- nious one. although there was some ef- fort put forth by the Democratic mem bers to save a few more nominations out of the wreck for their State convention to act upon. The Populist brethren were loath to make any concessions, but they finally after listening to more or less pleading from the Silver Republicans, agreed to give the Democracy little better show than it was originally planned.
 In the Sixth Congressional District Bar low was not satisfactory to all the Demo crats; but he was rammed down their throats and the committee agreed to re- port in favor of giving the Sixth District to the Populists. This carries with it Barlow and the notorious Brooks letters.
 In the Seventh Congressional District Dr. Castle was acceptable to both Demo crats and Populists, and the district was given to the Populists by unanimous con sent.
 Originally the Populists were given one member of the State Board of Equallza- tion This they gave up, and the Demo- cratic Convention will name EqualzerS III all four of the districts.
 In every other feature the fusion pro gramme as originally designed in July was agreed to, and the convention VIII so report.

am about to introduce.
 With the utmost gravity he then read the resolution. which was in effect that no member of the committee should be deemed eligible to office, and that the convention should make formal declara- tion embodying this sentiment. The res olution was greeted with laughter, being regarded as a delicate sarcasm, and no action was taken upon it.
 Tonight suspicion Is stronger than ever that Tarpey was indulging in irony. Chairman Dunn of the committee has been nominated for a place on the Board of Equalization. Still nobody aftlrmS that his one hundred came to Sacramento with any such purpose in view. Certain ly not.
