Cused again last night at B'ne
Birth Hall. Little time was
wasted in preliminary skirmishes. The
proceedings We're animated from start to
finish and decidedly spicy when the con-
test came on between Colonel Victor D.
Duboce and W. A. Deane for County
. Clerk. An effort to stampede the dele
gates to Colonel Duboce seemed for few
minutes to be on the point Of success.
but Deanes friends rallied their reserves
and opened a counter attack on Duboce,
asserting with emphasis that he was so
unpopular in the First California Regi-
ment that ne could not get as many votes
in that organization as Deaue could mus

'Duboce. Delegates asserted that Colonel
Smith was the unpopular officer of that
organization, and that Duboce possessed
the confidence of the volunteers Refer

given to the brave soldiers on their return

ated that the County Clerk s office was
hive of drones. Bradford's attack was re-
sented by Delegate Jones of the Thirty
seventh District, who remarked that il
would not be wise TO nominate man who
was most dtsliked when best known.
Deaue won out by a small margin, but
the defeat of the colonel left tinge OF
bitterness. There were cries of .No;' on
the proposition to make Deanes choice
unanimous. After the caucus adjourned
delegates fingered and several of them eX-
pressed regret over the result or the
County Clerks fight. When the ballot was
