committee met IN Jackson August H.
and issued a cali tor county con-
ventlon to he held in jackson on
Monday, August 81. 1t was decided
to transact all pending business in
regard to county candidates. delegates
to state convention, at one conven
tion. There Will be six delegates to
the state convention to be elected,
the first time in a number OF years
that Amador has been entitled by
virtue of it's party vote for the heads
of the tickets to stronger delegation
of democrats than republicans. The
other business will be nomination for
superior Judge, and three supervisors,
one each in township one, two and
four. Primaries for the selection of
delegates to this county convention
are to be held in the various precincts
next Wednesday evening from to 9
O'Clock. The polling place for these
primaries in all the Jackson precincts
are to be held in the supervisors
room, another innovation introduced
by those In control Of the court
house. 1t is all very we'll for day
light meetings, county conventions.
etc., to be held in public buildings
although even that practice is open
to objection. But it has been done
from time immemorial and involves
no expense upon Taxpayers. But
with night meetings where lights
have to be furnished, it is different.
The taxpayers of the county are
arbitrarily made to put up for the
expense.
The republican committee Of Gala
veras county met last Saturday and
Issued call for a county convention
to be held Septem ber 10. Primaries
for the selection of delegates to the
same to be held September II. In
this county the democrats have made
no move as yet.
No call has been issued for a re-
publican county convention in ANA
dor. Tie committee has not meet,
and we understand will not be called
until after the state convention. 1t
has been arranged that the republi-
cans meet in caucus in their respec-
tive districts tomorrow, and take
such steps as they may deem proper
for the election of delegates to repre-
sent them in the state convention to
be held next Thursday in Oakland.
The appOrtionment of delegates has
been made the same as for the last
state convention, namely: Township
l, one delegate; township 2, one
delegate; township 4, one delegate;
township and 5, one delegate.
For superior judge the republicans
appear to have no one to put up
against the present incumbent, X. q.
Rust, who will undoubtedly be re-
nominated oil the democratic side.
For supervisors all three of the
outgoing incumbents are anxious to
succeed themselves. In township
one, ohm Strohm, at the last election
won as an Independent candidate,
against M. Newman, the regular de-
mocratic nominee. lie has hereto
fore stated that he would again run
as an independent, but it is rumored
that the democrats are pulling the
wires to have him run on the demo
cratic ticket, hoping that it will help
their chances of success, not only
this time, but two years hence, when
a full county ticket will have to be
put up. On the republican side, W.
Tam, DR.. Gall aud V. S. Garbarini
have been mentioned. DI. Gall is
deemed the strongest man, and would
land a winner against any one on the
other side, IL he can be persuaded to
accept.
In lone things are somewhat mixed.
w. M. Amiok wants to try 1t again
John W. Joses has also been mention.
ed. The democrats want X. Bagley,
but Bagley and Amiek are related; II
