convention they were silenced in the cry
of a common cause. The name of Horace
Davis drew from every member of the
convention a cheer Of hearty support and
enthusiasm. Cheer after cheer rang
through Bnai Birth Hall as the stan
dard bearer was placed in nomination.
Men threw their hats in the air, jumped
upon chairs and shouted themselves
hoarse in welcoming the man who is to
lead them In the campaign.
AS his long record of distinguished
public service and honorable private life
was eloquently told the delegates could
not control themselves, and above the
words Of the speaker upon the platform
arose the great roar of his hearers in an
ecstacy of excitement. If ever man en-
tered a political campaign under favor
able auspices Horace Davis began his
fight last night for the position of Mayor
armed at every point When the con
vention chose him for the post of honor
on the municipal ticket the work of
nominating was finished.
The session had been one of excitement
The first stubborn fight of the night came
when nominations for Police Judges were
called. William A. Deane had been nom

clared closed, the secretary was in
structed to cast the unanimous vote of
the convention for Mr.. Deane.
Before The next order of business could
be taken up Mr.. Ruef arose and said
he would Ike TO refer to a ruling made by
the chair on a point of order he had
made at the last session of the conyen-
ton, that there was not a sufficient num-
Der or votes IN the selection of a nominee
for Public Administrator. He stated that
since that time a number of gentlemen
had come to him and told him he was
correct in his objection. but having
looked into the matter he did lot think
II was correct. but in order to remove any
doubt, he would like TO have the secre-
taTy cast the unanimous vote of the
convention for Captain Farnham. The
motion, coming as 1t did from Delegate
Ruef, who was Mr.. Farnhams chief op-
ponent on the night he was nominated.
was heartily applauded. 1t was put by
the chair and carried. and the secretary
was instructed to carry out the object of
the motion. In explaining his own posi-
tion Chairman Kellogg said: II am glad
this motion was made, as it will remove
all doubt, and covers any possible obiec-
ton that might be made to the proceed
ing. The next order of business will be
the nomination of candidate for
Sheriff
J. c. Boyne secured the floor and said
THE gentleman l wish to place In nomi-
nation for that high and important office
of Sheriff of this municipality is well
known to'you all. He has served on the
Board of Supervisors of this city and
county for two terms, and who If you see
fit to nominate viii add strength to this
ticket and will surely be winner He
has been identified with the business in
terests of this city for many years. and
| therefore take pleasure in placing be-
fore you for your consideration the name
Of John Lackmann." Dawson Mayer said
that he took great pleasure in seconding
the nomination of Mr. Lackmann. In do
ing so he voiced the sentiments of the
Democrats and Republicans of this city.
The nominations closed, Mr.. Ilackmann
The San Francisco call., 1899-10-06

was chosen the conventions candidate by
acclamatiOn.
Adrian Smith placed DIR. A. D. Mclean
in nomination for Coroner. At the con-
clusion Of his euogy on his nominee the
nominations closed and Secretary Wilson
cost the ballot OF the convention for DR..
Mclean.
When the chair announced that nominal
tons for four Police Judges were in order
the gallery prepared for an exciting fray
and the delegates settled back in their
chairs. Edmond TauSzky was the first to
address the convention. He nominated l..
G. Carpenter for the office in a neat
speech, in which he spoke of the good
qualities possessed by Mr.. Carpenter. j.
3. Barber was next heard. He named
James L. Nagle for a position on the
ticket and said that if nominated by the
convention he would surely be elected, as
ne possessed all the qualities that made
d good Police Judge
H. D. Byrne started the noise-making
by placing Thomas f. Graham in nomina-
ton. he said he was known to the dele
gates, and pointed to his excellent record
While on the bench and in civil life. A
N. Currie in seconding the nomination
created an uproar. He said he arose to
give his hearty assent to the nomination
of Mr. Graham. He stated that at the
caucus held few nights ago every one
need be said on that score But that he
was disqualified to sit on the bench by
reason OF his not having practiced law
five years previous to the election which
He stated that if Graham were elected he
would test the constitutionality of the law
in the highest courts of the land; Some
one in the gallery yelled, "Give him the
nomination" and the speaker re-echoed
the sentiment.
In quick succession r. Cox. E. L. No
Ian, w. H. r. McMartin, J. K. Jones, F.
B. Haynes, Thomas Dennis and ]. L.
Farnsworth seconded the nomination of
Mr.. Graham. Their words of eulogy
brought cheers from the gallery and the

mated for County Clerk, John Lackmann
for Sheriff and DR.. A. d. Mclean for
Coroner. Then the chairman mildly de-
clared nominations for Police Judges IN
order. There was murmur and buzz of
excitement in the galleries, which were
crowded by outside supporters of Police
Judge Thomas L. Graham. This official
had failed to secure the caucus nonina-
ton and his friends determined to defeat
the will of the caucus if possible L. G..
Carpenter, Charles A Low, James L.
Nagle, H. L. Joachimsen and Thomas +.
Graham were placed in nomination. Gra-
hams name was received with the utmost
enthusiasm. Time after time his nomina-
tion was seconded, not only by represen-
tatives of the minority, but of the ma
jority as well Before the vote was taken
it seemed as If he certainly would win one
of the prizes Then came the incident
which perhaps cost him his nomination
In seconding the nomination of Charles
A. Low Wallace Bradford made an i'm
passioned speech calling upon the ma
iority to stand by the decision Of the
caucus. This aroused the ire of the gal
leries and created bitterness upon the
floor. Nothing deferred by the demon
stration Bradford went from district to
district urging the caucus delegates to
stand firm. When he reached the dele
CATION of the Thirty-eighth District he
addressed A W. Liechti. the chairman.
Iiechti did not wish to discuss the matter
and showed Bradford to one side. Brad
ford slipped and fell and as he was going
down Morris Riordan aimed a Vicious
blow at him. Fortunately he did not
strike and Bradford walked coolly away.
The incident cost Graham his nomination.
one of his seconds withdrew and balloting
began. The four caucus candidates were
nominated.
The report of the committee on Super
yisors was then adopted and eighteen
men were chosen: With their selection
began a thinly disguised effort of the
minority to throw discredit upon the la
bors of the convention The leader in this
episode was A Ruef. who was persistent
in a series Of Interruptions aimed at the
The San Francisco call., 1899-10-06

candidates of the convention. Rucf de-
manded for example that the Supervisors
be pledged not to vote for Phelan for
Mayor There was absolutely no occa-
sion for this suggestion and a sneer was
the only reply to his motion. From that
moment to the end of the session Ruef
was in persistent. evidence, gaining moth
efforts
The last nomination of the night was
that of Horace Davis for Mayor. While
of the Thirty-third District moved at the
conclusion of long speech that the can
didac,y, of James D. Phelan be indorsed;
English deposited SO ana vas gpefetedd greeted
back his money and q disagreeable Incl
dent was closed. The concluding signifi-
cant incident of the night was an address
of acceptance delivered by Horace Davis,
who was applauded and cheered until the
hall was a very bedlam of enthusiastic,
excited delegates.
Chairman Sheldon G. Kellogg called the
convention to order promptly al S:39
o'clock' and instructed Secretary Wilson
to call the roll of the delegates. This
having been carried out. the chair stated
that the first order of business was the
nomination of a County Clerk w. H. r.
McMartin then took the floor and placed
William A. Deane, the incumbent, in nomi-
nation in his remarks Mr.. MeMartin
said the convention had not thus far
made any mistake in the selection of it's
candidates He therefore assured the
convention that Mr.. Deane was n every
