CALIFORNIA FUSIONIsTs.
Congressman Mcguire, Democrat,
Nominated for Governor.

Nominated for Governor.
SACRAMENTO, Cal, Aug. 1S.-The DEM
ocratic State convention, on assembling to-
day, received the report of the committee
ON fusion. 1t recited that the Peoples party
and Silver Republicans were in accord with
the programme of fusion and would support
the Democratic ticket if it should proceed
along certain lines mapped out. 1t urged the
adoption of the fusion plan, and the matter
was put to vote without debate Fusion
carried with less than a dozen votes. w. H.
Afford, chairman of the Democratic State
central committee, then nominated Con-
gresham James G. Mcguire for Governor
in brief speech, in which he said that in
dustrial freedom was the one. fight the. De-
tor Stephen M. White seconded the nomna-
ton in eulogistic speech, wherein he re-
viewed Mr.. Maguires record in Congress on
the railroad question Senator White was
frequently cheered, after which Mr. Mcguire
was nominated by rising vote.
The platform reafflrms allegiance to the
Chicago platform of 1896. 1t indorses the
action of Congress in declaring war against
Spain; praises the Democrats in Congress
for supporting our arms. and commends
them for opposing the war revenue meas
ureS as unjust and discriminating. Upon
the question of territorial acquisition the
platform says:
I'VE favor the fullest investigation of all
conditions existing in the Philippine islands
affecting the interests and obligations of
our country in the matter of their future
treatment and disposition, to the end that
final action in relation thereto shall be in
telligent and based upon full knowledge
of all facts that can affect the interests of
the United States. While we do not favor
an aggressive policy of territorial expan-
sion, we are opposed to the surrender to
Spain of any of the territory that has been
acquired by American valor and the ex-
penditure of the blood and treasure of our
people, And we do not favor the the sur
render to Spanish dominion of the people of
any Spanish colonies who co-operated with
our forces against our enemy in the late
war. We are unalterably opposed to the
assumption by this government of any por-
ton of the debts of Spain, incurred in main
tanning her sovereignty in Cuba, and TO the
imposition of any portion thereof upon the
people of that island"

UNWORTHY OF THEIR FOE.
Conduct of SpaniardS as Viewed by
Senator Daniel.

NEW YORK, Aug. ia special to the
Times from Washington says Senator Dan
iel, of Virginia, last night discussed the war
situation with animation, expressing the
greatest satisfaction at the exploits of the
army and navy. and was particularly graft
fled because General Wheeler and General
Butler, two well-known Confederates were
afforded an opportunity to show to how COM
plete an extent-the animosties of the civil
war had been obiiterated. But when we
come to look at the other side said the
senator, 'it is pitiable to observe that in not
one instance have the Spanish proved to be
worthy of the foe they have engaged IN
battle-not once in d war of three months
and of two battles that will be remembered
as long as war is interesting to mankind.
Nothing could be much worse to the SOL
der than the report of the attempted resig-
nation of General Blanco in the face of the
surrender of his forces. military officer,
by all rules of war, is bound not to do that.
Regardless of the idea of INSTRUMENTATION, 1T
suggests General Blanco was bound IN honor
and duty as the commander or the spanish
troops in Cuba, to stay with them, Whatever
their fortune. He should not have under
taken to make their humiliation the greater
by seeking to run away from 1 II. ea ny ,, no
a man. What would have been thought of
General Lee if, at Appomattox, ne nad
mounted his horse and run away from Gen.
Grant, leaving his heroic army to surrender
alone without a commander?
"AuguStin seems to be another of the same
kind. He stayed with his army until it was
in distress and was about to suffer the adj
verse fate of war. Then, instead of bearing
the disgrace with them and leaving it to his
foe to treat him with the consideration that
his rank and misfortune would have die
tated he runs away. This may be Spanish,
but it is not honorable.
Senator Daniel now looks for an era of
great prosperity and -, OF expansion pa lie

to set up the independent government they
are to have.

Transport Vigilancia, Long Loaded
with Supplies, Sent to Quarantine.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-The United States
transport Vigilancia arrived to-day and is
held at quarantine for disinfection. The
Vigilancia is loaded with supplies which she
has carried for a long time. A large con-
signment of rations was put on board for
the Second Massachusetts when the Spanish
fleet was supposed to be near the New Eng
land coast. This rumor was dispelled, and
the Second Massachusetts, having gone
south by rail, none of the rations was used

which was slowed on top of the rations. All
of this large cargo of supplies is still in the

THE MONUMENT ILLUMINATION.
Display Next Week Will Cost About
Five Thousand Dollars.

The work of getting the soldiers and
sailors monument ready for a brilliant
electrical display next week is about COM
pleted. An electric company has had sew
eral men at work on the shaft all week. 1t
is estimated that the elaborate plan on
which the monument is to be illuminated
win cost about IS 600. In all there will be
about five thousand electric lights turned on
at one time The first display will be given
or Monday evening. Thousands of the
lights will be of variegated colors-combina-
tons of red. white and blue, and red, white
and green.
Back of the upper waterfalls on each side
of the shaft there will be Knights of
Pythias emblems so brightly illuminated
that they will show through the falling
waters. It is believed this arrangement will
give a fine effect On top of the monument
there will be two great searchlights that
can be seen a great distance. The army
and navy astragals are studded with mean
descents, and on the south side of the
monument below the army astragal. there
is a large flag formed of red, white and
blue lights, and above it great shield
which will be illuminated Similar devices
