Amador ledger., 1906-09-07

Convention
The Proceedings in Full.

The democratic county convention
met in jackson, in the superior court
room on Saturday last. There was
fair attendance. Drytown was the
only precinct that was not represent
ed. About II delegates were repre-
sented by proxy, making the actual
number of persons present about CT.
This is fully up to the average attend
ance at nominating conventions. 1t
was one of the chilliest gatherings of
the unterritied that Amador has wit
messed for many years; more like a
convouatlon of dispirited partisans
under the shadow of Impending de-
feat, than the exultant anthem of
confidence in victory. There was not
a contest to enliven the proceedings,
except on the unimportant office of
coroner and public administrator,
and that was decided with one ballot.
The promised contest for the record
eIshlp did not materialize, Caminetti
withdrawing at the eleventh hour.
The convention was called to order
at half-past IL by L. NJ. Ryan, chair
man of the county central committee.
James Meehan was elected temporary
chairman, as a compliment to his
antique democracy, and was greeted
with rounds of applause on taking
his seat
l.. j. GIavinovich was elected secre-
tary.
