CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENTS
Continued from Sixth page.

Continued from Sixth pHge.l
inal section of the constitution re-
ferrlng to the makeup of the court.
1t simply provided n remedy in case
n justice was disqualified, 50 that II
full bench could hear n cause.
This amendment was submitted to
the people at the general election in
lS9S, and carried. the vote being
S.6O5 for and j,S23 against. 1t was
supposed that question was settled
until In the action Of Duricc against
Harper, Justice Brantley being dis
qualified, n district Judge was asked
to take his place on the bench. When
the case was heard the lawyers
raised the question that the amend
ment was not effective because OF
the fact that the constitutional
amendment was not spread In full
upon the minutes of the house Of rep
resentatives, after its final passage.
The point was upheld by %thesuprpme
court and thus the amendment be-
came imperative.
At the session Of the legislaturetwo
years ago, the committee on prlvi-
leges and elections introduced the
Loeb bill again. No change was
made in 1t, save us to the year in
which it was to be submitted, that
change making it 1900 instead oflS9>.
The bill was passed by unanimous
vote and the amendment will Ice sub
mitted to the voters at the election
in November. II it passes ii IL
thought it will be effective, as all OF
the preliminary requirements, it il
believed, have been met.
But whether it passes or not the
legislature may ut any time, as the
constitution now provides, increase
the number OF supreme court Judges
from three to five.

Nestor OF the Democratic party In
this county, who had been defeated
for a Legislative nomination, inter.
rupted the proceedings with the re.
mark that he would like the privi-
lege OF addressing the convention for
about ten minutes. The chairman
looked aghast, not knowing what TO
expect, but he was Obliged to extend
the courtesy and Mr.. Walker delivered
a harrangue In which he asserted his
unfaltering devotion to Democratic
principles, winding up 10y declaring
that he hoped to end his days on
earth under a Democratic admins
tration. He probably expects TO at
tain the age OF some OF the patri-
archs Of the old testament.
Another sensation was then sprung
by Mr.. WATSON, who raised in his
place and said he wanted to thank
the convention on behalf of his dele
cation for having allowed them the
state committeeman and the candi.
date for coroner. The delegates
were hardly prepared for this kind OF
n side swipe, and for a few minutes
CONSERVATION reigned until the chair.
man relieved the tension by announc-
ing that nominations for chairman
OF the county central committee were
in order.
For this, Mr.. Perrine, OF Tibet, pro-
posed the nameofProf. j. NJ. Parent.
L. j. Johns was also nominated for
this position and this time he did not
decline. Mr.. WATSON who acted as
spokesman for Mr.. Johns in the con-
vention, knowing his iavoritc had no
chance, tried to prevent n vote up
on this proposition, but was hOwled
down without ceremony. Theballot
resulted in Mr.. Johns receiving 20
votes and Mr.. Parent 33 votes. An
adjournment Of fifteen minutes was
taken and n diligent effort made in
the meanwhile to find some one to
supply the missing link upon the
ticket which had been nominated.
One set Of delegates laid seige to +.
A. Foster over the telephone while
another was trying hard to convince
Edward Grlndrod that 1t was to his
interest to take the nomination for
clerk of court, but Leither Of these
gentlemen could be induced to take
this view OF the matter. Finally the
convention cast upon Joe McAnally,
an obscure member of the Stanford
delegation, and when the convention
was again called to order McAnally
was nominated by reclamation, OF
course, and then everybody breathed
a sigh ofrelief.
When the members OF the county
central committee were named, some
Of the precincts were left unrepre-
sented, az no one could be found to
take their places.

IN ITS LAST THROES.
Concluding Proceedings OF the Demo.
cratic Convention.

The proceedings OF the Democratic
county convention subsequent to
those already published In the ARGUS
were comparatively unimportant
and were pushed through with the
utmost r%apidfty. BY this time most
OF the delegates began to grow
weary OF the farce In which they were
participating, and seemed animated
by a desire single to finishing up their
business AZ soon as possible without
resorting to indecent haste. One Of
the admirers of T. j. Johns placed
his name before the convention for
state committeeman, but Mr.. Johns
was looking for something with n
better prospect for the emOluments
OF the campaign and declined the
honor with thanks. whereupon Mr..
Lineberger, chairman OF the conven-
ton, was named for this place and
went through with n whOop. Mr..
Lineberger accepted In n brief speech.
He had the candor to confess that
the Democrats OF this county have a
hard fight before them. This kind OF
a talk was received with cold indif-
ference, the speech and the tone In
which 1t was delivered, sounded more
like a wall OF despair than a note OF
victory.
