straws in quite as fanciful shapes as
ever and while there are no especial
novelties in trimmings, they become
new by reason of newness in device, as
for example, where the conservative
pansy, by means of enlarged size and
wholly unnatural colors, becomes
quite another flower. Enlargement of
small blossoms is indeed quite fea-

sometimes very different from what
have been seen. violets in garlands,

CREPONS.

surprise, since the expectation was
general, that last season marked the
end of their existence. This however,
is found mistake and they appear in
such numbers as to assure great popu-
larity, if not an actual run, the latter
being predicted by experienced buy
ers. But the new crepons, it must be
remembered, are in the most costly
varieties, though natural consequence
will be the continued utilizing of less
expensive goods on the part of wearers
who consult economy. Delightful
blendings of color appear in some new
crepons but the majority are in black.

A REPRESENTATIV BODY. James G. Mcguire Praises the Make
 Up of the Convention.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Aug. 16.-The convention in its preliminary work has shown it's en- tire freedom from the control of cor porate and other private interests and its earnest zeal for Democratic prin- ciples.
 The unfortunate and false position In which MT. Dockweiler was placed by the support of railroad representatives and agents In his candidacy for the chairman of the convention was a most | trying ordeal for him, out of which 1t must be said he has come not only hon. orably, but with his reputation for in- tegrity and moral stamina considera- bly increased.
 It was splendid test and proof of the independence of the convention that notwithstanding his high char acter and the confidence repoSed in him personally a large majority of the delegation would not at all consider his candidacy because of the support given him in his delegation by the Company.
 It was we'll understood that Mr. Dockweiler was as little subject to railroad influence as his opponent, Mir Patton, and that the railroad company did not support him because of it's de-
 
 of it's desire to defeat Patton. Yet 1t was soon manifest that even this neg ative support rendered his candidacy inexpedient before the convention. This Is but an illustration of the spirit manifested by the convention in every thing. It is apparently a truly repre- sentative body of what Is popularly called the New Democracy"
 The San Francisco contest has been referred to fair and strong commit tee upon which both sides have been given representation, and I am satisfied that after a full and fair hearing the convention will deal with the question of the local organization of the Demo- cratic party in manner that will give general satisfaction to the Democrats of San Francisco.
 I do not care to discuss the proposed platform of the convention. I have, of course, been consulted by leading mem bers of the convention concerning many of it's proposed blanks. AS to the new charter of the city and county of San Francisco I think am justified in saying that the platform will declare in favor of it's ratification by the Legis- lature; that it will indorse the admin istration of Governor Budd, and that 1t will deal strongly with the question of railroad monopoly and extortion Is certain.

markable as being the sole point upon which the two factions are of one opin- ion. Then Governor Budd suggested that each side submit the names of five of their stanchest supporters and he would select five non-partisans. This was not satisfactory and then somebody proposed that Harney and McNab each submit nine names for the Governors consideration. This suited Governor Rudd, but he announced that he would not be restricted in h.s selec- tions to the two lists, but would go outside for as many names as he wanted.
 Then the wrangle over Tarpey broke out in earnest. McNab and Gould ob- jected to the Alamedan being upon the committee at all on account of his az gressiveness against them, and they appealed to Budd not to appoint him.
 W. w. Foote invaded the enemy s lines in the excitement attending ms declaration that Tarpey had fought the McNab faction on every possible oc- sion and would continue to do so 10 the end.
 Turning to the Governor Foote de- clarer that Tarpey's name would neaa Harney's list, and he demanded that ne be placed on the committee. Then liar ney and McNab went to work on thelr respective lists and the temperature cooled off perceptibly. | cote, Tarpey' Gould and others withdrew, and after the two lists had been handed In Gov ernor Budd was left alone to consider them. Seven names on McNab's Nst appear on the committee, while Iarpey, who headed Harneys list and who FOote demanded be placed on the com mittee, was ignored.

STRIFE OVER A COMMITTEE,
Both Factions Insist Upon Aiding Governor Budd in His
 Selections

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO. Aug. 17-There was an ex- ceedingly animated conference in the rooms of the secretary of the State Board of Agriculture in the Pavilion dur Ing the recess of the convention to en- able. Governor Budd to appoint the com mittees on credentials and order of business. Besides the Governor, there were present, among others, Chairman Afford, Frank Gould, Gavin McNab, John P. Dunn, Major Harney, M F. Tarpey, w. w. Foote, Joseph Dwyer and General Barrett.
 Both factions were guarding their interests and naturally there was bound to be more or less loud talk. Both in- sisted upon aiding the Governor in making his selections. The real trouble began when the Harney forces offered M. F. Tarpey for chairman of the ere dentials committee. There was a roar from the McNab camp. Governor Budd was patient, however, and an- nounced that 1t was his determination to appoint a non-partisan committee so far as lay in his power. Foote secuted the idea of a non-partisan committee.
 He declared there were not fifteen men in the convention who had not lined up on one side or the other. Gould agreed to that. which was re-.

POpuliStS Declare That Congressman Barlow
 Must Retire.
Colonel J. R. Berry and C, s. Patton Named as
 Available Candidates.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- lively row going on in the Sixth Con- gressional District, and Congressman Barlow, who was renominated by the Populists under the terms of the fusion agreement, will either have to be taken off the ticket or suffer certain defeat. Several of the Populists who were on the fusion committee are up in arms against him, and declare that he will have to retire. They say that the let ters written by him and introduced in evidence in the Brooks suit have for ever killed him politically.
 They affirm that unless he withdraws and allows the Democrats to nominate Congressman who will be satisfactory to the Populists there is nothing more certain than that the Sixth District will go overwhelmingly Democratic. The Populists-or at least several of the most prominent-are complaining of the way in which Barlow secured a re- nomination. Wc-dell, his private secre- tary, reported to the district delegates that the renomination of Barlow was part of the fusion programme.
 That any such agreement was en- tered into is denied by several mem bers of the fusion committee. They admit that the district was conceded to the Populists, but deny that 1t was part of the programme that Barlow was to be the nominee. George S. Patton, who was turned down yesterday by the sup porters of Isadore Dockweiler, and Colonel John R. Berry of the Seventh Volunteer Regiment have been sug- geSted as available candidates to fill the vacancy. Either of them would be satisfactory to the people. Patton says that under no circumstances would he accept nomination In the event of Bar low withdrawing.
 MT. Barlow met the committee of Silver Republicans and Democrats who waited upon him, and quite an ex- tended conference was held. The most friendly feeling was exhibited by the gentlemen who waited upon MT. Bar low. They gave him to understand that they came to him not as enemies but to make a statement. If after they had been heard he still insisted that he was Justified in standing as the candidate in the Sixth Congressional District they would have nothing further to say
 After listening to the committee and the statement as to why he was not a Mir Barlow replied that he could not agree with the committee. He thought that if anything he was stronger before the people of his district than he was two years ago. In any event, he said he was entitled to a renomfnatfon as 8 vindication of his record. He claimed that even if he was defeated this con- was firm and insistent in his determi- nation to remain in the field. and the committed being convinced that noth- ing could be done, left.

been accorded seats on the floor of the convention and a position on the tenn porary roll call, were allowed by the Governor to retain this advantage, if advantage 1t could be called. He then appointed a committee on credentials composed of fifteen members, eight of whom were known to be McNab parti- sans, six Harney partisans and one simply a Democrat.
 This last was Judg Fletcher A. Cut ter, formerly of Humboldt, now of Del Norte. He was named as chairman of the committed At the time Gov ernor Budd named the committee the leaders of both factions were present and the Governor there stated that 1t was his desire to do nothing that would change the status of the parties. and that it was his intention to name a committee which he knew in ad- vance would return to the convention a majority and a minority report. This, he said, would be the question open for the convention to decide and as the convention was the executive body as well as the representative body of the State Democracy. he believed that this course was right and proper.
 The committee met tonight and lis tened to the claims of the respective contestants. The entire evening was consumed in the performance of this duty. When the arguments were closed the committee, as had been pre- dicted by the Governor, made out ma jority and minority report. The ma iority report favored the seating of the delegation of the committee of one hun dred and was signed by eight of the committeeman. The minority report favored the seating of the Harney delegation and was signed by six of the committeeman. Chairman Cutler refused to sign either report.
 Both reports will be presented to the convention tomorrow morning and there the battle win be fought out on the floor. McNab's followers claim to have a majority of the delegation in their favor and confidently predict the acceptance of the majority report when the question is put to vote. However this may be 1t will not change in the least the fact that was demonstrated by McNab's failure to control the or eanization of the convention. In this he was defeated and his defeat was as overwhelming as it will be lasting. What the convention decides to do with the contesting delegations from San Francisco will be decided on the propo sition of the power of the Democratic State Committee to take charge of the government of the San Francisco Democracy, and not upon any claims that McNab may have set up to the right of dictatorship.
 If the convention decides that the State Committee had this power, then the majority report of the committee on credentials will be accepted. If It decides that 1t had not the power, then
The San Francisco call., 1898-08-17
the minority report will be accepted.

| the minority report will be accepted.
 Late this evening Governor Budd again made his hand felt in the pres ,ent dispute between the factions In the Democratic party. He appeared be- fore the committee on organization and order of business, then in session in the parlors of the Golden Eagle Hotel, and | asked that his name be taken off the report of the committee then being pre- pared in the placeswhere the report rec commended to the convention that the temporary officers of the convention be made the permanent officers of the convention.
 The Governor declared that he would decline to serve as permanent chair man, for the reason that should he do so he would then have to appoint committee on resolutions and platform, which committee he expected to return to the convention a resolution com- mending his administration as Gov ernor cr the State of California. He declined, he said, to be placed in so embarrassing a position, and he de- sired. therefore, that some one else be selected to act as permanent chairman. The committee declined to entertain the Governors request, and several gentlemen prominent in the affairs of the party were called In for a confer ence. The Governor insisted on his po sition, but said that if his request were acceded to he would retain the position of presiding officer until after the dis pute between the consisting San Fran cisco delegations was finally deter mined by the convention.
 This proposition proved acceptable to Judge Mcguire and at his solicita- ton and that of others the committee on credentials consented to take Gov ernor Budd's name from it's report. Be- fore this was done, however, it was agreed that Charles M. Cassin should be selected as the permanent chairman.
 Governor Budd stated tonight that he would not allow either, the delega- tion of the committee of one hundred or the Harney delegation seats on the floor of. the convention halluntil after the convention itself had finally decided which of the two contestants was en- titled to the seats as the true and only representative body of the San Fran cisco Democracy.
 This decision will be a hard blow to the McNab forces, as they had con- fidently expected to have voice in the settlement of the dispute by reason of the fact that the names of their delegation had been placed on the tenn porary roll. This would have given them a solid block of 154 votes, fact that would have very materially af- fected a final determination of the dis pute.
 So 1t Is that tonight every delegate present here in Sacramento knows that the erstwhile Whispering Boss" has been shorn of his power and that his personality and his peculiar political methods will ere long cease to be the hope of political tricksters and mer cenary office seekers.

BUTTE MEN FOR MAGUIRE Pledged Him Their Support in Cau'
 cus-Other Selections.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Aug 16.-The Butte County delegates caucussed immediately after arriving here this morning and elected Senator A. F. Jones chairman. After a spirited discussion lasting over an hour they decided to adopt the unit rule. The merits of the several candidates were considered and on the first ballot the entire delegation was pledged to Mcguire. It was also decided to sup port Beamer for the State Board of Rehabilitation, La Rue for Railroad Com missioner, De Vries for Congress, Green for State Treasurer and Andrews for Attorney General.
 It was the sense of the caucus that no definite action be taken one way or the other in the matter of the contest from San Francisco. It was thought advfsa- ble to leave that fight open until after the committee on credentials makes its report. The unit rule will not be ap- piled on the ballot on that contest. Some of the members are strongly in- clined toward Lne Harneyites.
