Republican campaign In the platform had been wrested from the hands of the opposition and had fallen into the possession of Gage. The victory had been well worth the winning. When Jacob H. Neff subsequently, announced the committee on platform and in his selection protected the convention and the party from the stain even of the suspicion of railroad influence, the triumph was more thoroughly under stood
 Neff struck the keynote of his policy as soon as he took the platform to thank the convention for the honor be- slowed upon him. He vigorously as- serted his freedom from boss and rail- road influence. His public life has been such that he needed to make no such assertion, but the announcement won the recognition and hearty response Of applause and cheers. When Neff had concluded tIs address the convention began its labors. The first and one of the greatest battles of the convention had been won and lost. The opponents of Gage had combined their forces In vain.
 The results of this foolhardiness be- came manifest as soon as the conven- tion took recess for the rest of the afternoon. Pardee's managers, who suf- fer from inexperience, saw at once that their favorite was not only sadly ln a minority but that they had made fatal mistake in exposing their weak ness to the common enemy. AS soon as possible after the adjournment Par dee and his advisers held conference to discuss the situation. The futility of continuing a hopeless struggle was pointed out to Pardee and he was urged to withdraw from the fight. By doing this he was shown where he might secure the favorable opinion of |; nd rla hir1Solf in line for the Republican nomination four years hence.
 Tt is inevitable" his advisers said, that Gage shall win the nomination. This will make it reasonable to SUD- pose that four years from now the nominee will be chosen from the cen tral or northern part of the State"
 rardee had placed himself In line, but all the urging was wasted on deaf ears and he positively declined the advice of his followers and will remain in the field.
 His obstinacy had Its counterpart in the actions of General Dickinson and Judge Angellotti. the former of whom wished to be Governor and the latter Supreme Justice. Dickinson saw in the events of the afternoon the destruction of his hopes. He decided therefore to retire from the field as gracefully as possible. In doing so he promised to throw his strength to Charles F. Curry for Secretary of State.
 Judge Angellotti determined upon the same policy so that Curry will receive an unexpected support and an added strength for the battle in the conven- tion. Nef's victory and the bearing 1t has had on the aspirations of other candidates have sent several claimants for honors to hasty cover. The guber- material contest being over the other prizes are being sought for with re- newcd y1gor.

ed at the polls even at the expense of other candidates who might be carried down with him. Such expressions or opinion come from delegates from many portions of the State and are representa- tive of the general feeling regarding rail- road candidates.
 Many go so far as to say that they would prefer to see the entire ticket de- feated rather nan have the corporations secure the election of a single candidate that Mcfarland has for years been friend of the railroad company. and that the public has suffered because of this friendship.
 They look upon the present barefaced attempt of the railroads political bureau the Supreme Bench as a piece of assurance . exceeding anytime yet attempted In that line. In spite of all of this talk and con- demnation the railroad still maintains In this city its corps of managers, clerks and confidential secretaries sent here from San Francisco last Sunday to aid in the work of securing for Mcfarland the nomination for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. The situation is one that is calling for the most serious con sideration on the part of leaders of the party.
 From present indications it appears that the feeling of resentment felt against the Southern Pacific Company will result in the nomination of Judge W. C. Van Fleet and Judge B. T. Williams nf Ven pledged its strength to Judge w. N. Clark of Los Angeles, but 1t is believed that after the first few ballots. when it becomes apparent that Clark has no show of winning, the votes of the Los Angeles delegation will be given to Judge Wll Hams. Other candidates for the Supreme Court nomination are still in the fight but their chances of winning are not good.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Aug. 23.-As was indicated in these dispatches yesterday the political bureau of the Southern Pacific Company is making a desperate and we'll sustained attempt to dominate the acts of this con- vention in the matter of the selection of candidates for Associate Justices of the Supreme. Court. This Is particularly true with reference to T. B. Mcfarland. who
 desires to succeed himself on the Supreme : bench, and who has called forth the full
 strength of his friends in the yellow building at the corner of Montgomery
 and Market streets, San Francisco, to aid
 him in securing the nomination.
 Mcfarland $ railroad supporters and his
 personal friends have for the past two days been moving heaven and earth to might overcome the evident desire on the part of the majority of the delegates to this convention to shut the Southern Pacific Company and kindred corpora -tions out of Republican politics and put a ffDal end to the corruption that has
 marked the railroads participation in : State politics.

 Another bomb was thrown into local politics to-day when the "Hilborn cam paigH committee" which, however, does not indicate its personnel definitely. pub lished a lengthy statement regarding the certificates of registration which 1t Is claimed County Clerk Jordan issued in or der to favor MT. Metcalf's candidacy.
 The committee states: At that time (before the primary our committee could not get possession of any of these cards, owing to the fear of those who gave the information that they would be involved in the expose and the further desire to shield some of the deputy clerks who signed the cards" The statement of the committee Is illustrated with reproduc- tions of two certificates signed. one by R. C. Gelder, and another by J. G. Deane, a deputy county clerk, for the produc- ton of which MT. Jordan offered reward of $50. The committee does not state whether or not this reward will be claim ed.

made itself felt at State conventions Among the fourteen candidates who are either actively or passively seeking the nomination are many who have un- | assailable records as jurists. There are others whose records are not so clean, and whose connection with the manipu- lators of the affairs of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company are matters of common knowledge.
 The efforts that are being put forth by the railroad company, through it's political bureau, to secure the nomina- tion of at least one of these men, would be beyond belief, were it not for the fact that the people have become somewhat accustomed to the partici- patton of the railroad in political af- fairs. Whether or not the corporation will, hl this instance, be permitted to carry its design to successful issue and thus secure for itself representa- tive in the highest tribunal of the State, of course remains with the dele gates to this convention to decide. It seems quite possible that they may de eide in favor of the railroad company, and If they do, the voters of the State will then have an opportunity to ex- press their approval or disapprobation of the action of the convention.
 Local Sacramentans have been treat ed to-day to an illustration of how poll itics 'is did" in Alameda County. Dr. Pardee came to the convention in the vanguard of a delegation composed of the young men who made up for their lack of political knowledge by an over exuberance of spirits that has found vent on every possible occasion, in and out of season. With an idea of catch ing the nimble country vote, they have
 marched up the street, singing and shouting and then marched down again shouting and singing as if they were never tired of 1t. This exhibition always wound up by a demonstration beneath the windows of their candi- dates headquarters at the Golden Eagle Hotel, and then the populace was treated to an edifying spectacle of youthful enthusiasm, such as was good to see. But 1t was not politics.
 Dr. Pardee would appear at his win dow and wave his thanks, but he must. have been disappointed by always see ing the same familiar faces turned up to him-their very familiarity proving that they had gained no recruits, and instead of making votes were merely making noise.
 There is some prospect that the work of the convention will be finished some time tomorrow night, but this will de- pend largely upon the length and num- Der of nominating speeches. A goodly number of more or less celebrated ora tors have gathered here for the purpose of presenting to the ear of the country delegates in convention assembled the irresistible charms of various candi- dates. To-day's events will. however. materially reduce the number of, these political orators, for the reason that the candidates for whom they were to nominate have retired from the race, and will be disappointed but silent spectators of the proceedings that mark the closing day of the convention
