THE RANEYITES WERE SKTISFIED| Sam’s Rule of the Junta Convention Is Not Fur- ther Disputed. Forty-fourth—Edward 8. N Fong-fimu-wmum Gisle?yy..n alex. T. Vogelsang, chairman of the committee on resolutions, took the plat- form, when, at 10 o’clock, the legislative matter was finally disposed of, and sub- mitted the committee's report on the reso- lutions referred to it, providing for the ap- polntnxpnt of three committees to report, respectively, nominees for judicial posi- tions, for the Board of Supervisors and Board of Education. The committee recommended that no committee on judicial nominations be a pointed, such nominations to be made open convention. The committee unanimonsly recom- mended that Supervisors be nominated by the convention at large. [Much ap- FOR SUPERIOR JUDGES. All Nominations Will Be in Open Convention by the Rainey Majority. THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET. Murasky, Dunne, Borden ané Sander. son for the Bench and J. C, Bunner for Surveyor. Sam Rainey’s convention drew a crowd last night big enough to fill Odd Fellows’ Hall to the doors. The galleries were largely filled with curious Buckleyites. The Democratic politicians expected to enjoy something lively, but nothing fierce occurred. The anti-Raineyites, having se- cured the nomination for Mayor, will not interfere with Rainey and Lanigan getting what they want out of the rest of the ticket and they will swallow it and say nothing. A copy of the new charter was on every seat when the doors opened, but a majority of the * push” scorned the copies. Chairman Ragan started out with an evident intention to hold the convention down to order, and as nothing occurred to ruffle the temper of the Rainey majority the convention was disorderly only in a free and easy way. The convention assembied late and ac- complished little. The legislative ticket was aporoved with one exception after an hour's consideration. The exceotion was in the Thirty-seventh District, where Harry I. Muicreevy proposes to hangon to the nomination by the Buckleyites of the district which he has also received. The convention decided to have no com- mittees to report tickets for the judiciary, Board of Supervisors or Board of Educa- tion, and when the judicial nominations were taken up the convention went as far | as the Superior Judges and adjourned after nominating Krank H. Dunne, Frank J. Murasky, A. A, Sanderson and Rhodes Borden. The delay in starting the proceedings resulted from the inabinty of the commat- tee on platform and resolutions to agree on the committee plan referred to it and it was 9 . M. when Chairman Ragan called the impatient assemblage to order. Secretary Saulman. began calling for re- ports when Eugene N. Deuprey plumped an mnovation into Democratic conven- tion methoas. He wanted it told who the Legislative candidates were and suggested tnat the chairman of the discrict delega- tions be called to the platform to give the desired information. Mr. Deuprey didn’t anticipate that he was springing a circus on the crowd. The chairman ordered the process with- out taking a vote 2nd called the chairman of the Twenty-eighth District delegation to come to the platform. P. D. Mullaney responded and the circus began with the great big guffaw that rose, mingled with shoutings of funny things. “Mr. Lacy was born and raised in our district. He has been employed in Welils- Fargo's and he’s about 25 was the identification finally A delegate wanted to expedite matters by quitiing the operation, but Mr. Den- prey declared, “We are expected to act like intellectual beings and not like a lot of cattle,’”’ and the process continued. The "information about John Allen of the Twenty-ninth, given by Mr. Brannan amid the jollity, was simply that Mr. Allen had lived in the district several years and would carry it. P. J. Farrell of the Thirtieth said that Eugene J. Hannon was assistant superin- tendent of the Youth's Directory. Chairman Ginty of the Thirty-first was greeted with a revel of cheering and josh- ing. iéome time later the chairman an- nounced that James P. Brady was a young architect. They had a lot more fun with Mr, Grady of the Thirty-second. W. H. Me. Ivor of the Thirty-sixth was asked by Osgood Putman if Henry McGrath had not been nommated by *“another so- called Democratic convention,” and Mr. Mcivor explained that he had, but had resigned. Thomas J. Burke, chairman of the dis- trict, said that Harry Mulcreevy was the only Democrat in the district who could carry it. He is in the Recorder’s office, snd Mr. Burke was sorry to say that he was on the Buckley ticket. ‘I'his started another kick about the in- dorsement of Buckleyites, and ThomasF. Barry moved that the report of the Thirty- seventh be referred back to the aistrict convention, with instructions to act. The motion was carried. Charles 8. Peery of the Thirty-eighth was identified as a young attorney, and J. 8. Wardell of the Thirty-ninth as a news- paper man. Healey Davis told that Frank A. Schmitz of the Forty-first was a foreman in a plating works, a native son and one of the most popular nominees on the ticket. Bernard Augoneti of the Forty-second turned out a coal merchant, and George M. Rubenstein of the Forty-third a barber. Edward S. Ryan, the nominee 1 the Forty-fourth, 1s a boot and shoe man. Clitus Barbour spoke for William Gately of the Forty-fifth. : The Senatorial nominees were likewise vouched for, though little information was iven. gxflnrry I Mulcreevy of the Thirty-sev- enth was allowed to speak in his own be- half. He said in reference to the Buckley nomination that he had been indorsed at 2 mass-meeting, but he had not been offi- cially notified of any nomination. ‘All the nominatiors except that of the Thirty-seyenth were approved by the con- vention. It was announced that the Thirty-seventh District convention would reconvene this evening in Judge Troutt’s courtroom. > % The Legislative ticket as approved was as follows: SENATORIAL NOMINATIONS. th District—Samuel Braunhart. ifi?fiéfi;’in Lawrence J.

Rubenstein, B plause.] It was farther recommended that names be called for by wards, and that names be handed to the secretary in writing, no furtheraction to be taken upon them for three days. As to the Board of Education there was a majority and a minority report, the former favoring the committee plan and the latter recommending nominations in open convention. The minority report was signed by six members. Eugene N. Deuprey moved the adoption of the majority report, but it was decided to take up the recommendations seriatim. The first and the second portions of the report were adopted without discussion, the second with applause. The minority report regarding School Eddie Greaney Talks Politics. Directors was quickly adopted, without discussion, and thus all nominations were left with the convention as a whole. Alex T. Vogelsang nominated J. C. Bun- ner for Surveyor. Mr. Bunner wasnom- inated by acclamation, William Asmussen, the candidate for Treasurer, being present he appeared for & moment lng indorsed the platform briefly. On motion of James E. O'Donnell judi- cial nominations were taken up, and ex- Senator H. C. Gesford named for Superior Judge, Frank H. Dunne. There were cheers for Dunne. Eugene N. Deuprey followed with the nomination of Rhodes Borden, now in the City and Countfl Attorney’s office. James E. O’Donnell nominatea ex-Jus- tice of the Peace Frank J. Murasky. Alex T. Vogelsang nominated A. A. ex- Judge Sanderson and M. C. Hassett pre- sented the name of Thomas E. Carran. When nominations were closed Eugene N. Deuprey put in a request that Mr. O’Doanell state the fact that his candidate has resigned ‘‘another nomination,” re- ferring to the nomination by the Buckley- ites of Frank J. Murasky. The process of voting for four of the five candidates by rollcall was a tedious one. The result was as follows: Dunne 556, Murasky 541, Borden 526, Sanderson 443, Curran 212. The first four named were declared the nominees for the Superior bench. W. L. Rodgers offered a resolution de- claring in favor of the paymentof the City’s floating debt. Another resolution favored a pure primary law, and a third by E. P. E.

These resolutions were referred, without debate, and, it being near midaight, the convention adjourned until to-morrow evening.

Proceedings and Nominations of Four Municipal Conventions. Mr. Davis Speaks Right Out. Horace Davis said : ““I have not consulted any one about the nomination, nor has any one consulted me. It would not be of any use for me to entertain a proposition to stand for office.unless the party were united here. “I could not afford to run as party.” HORACE DAVIS * WILL NOT ACCEPT Nominated Without His Consent by Mr. Kelly's Convention. NOT A ONE-WINGED MAN Mr. Ruef’s Declaration That Mr. Davis Would Stand Was Unauthorized. ASA WELLS ACCEPTS A GIFT. He Is a One-Winged Candidate for Auditor—Henry S. Martin for Treasurer. FOR MAYOR—HORACE DAVIS, FOR AUDITOR—ASA R, WELLS. FOR TREASURER—H. 8. MARTIN, These were ail the nominations made last night by the convention in B'nai B’rith Hall. ‘When the convention was called to order at 8:40 o'clock about one quarter of the delegates’ chairs were vacant. These were filled up by triends of the delegates sitting and standing in the lobbies, at the solicitation of the delegates, who were anxious to make a good show- ing as to numbers. H. F. Sonntag called the meeting to order and overruled & motion to dispense with the call of the roll. While the names were being called by the secretary two delegates arose to protest against outsid- ers answering “here’” to the names of ab- sentees. They were supbressed by the | sergeant-at-arms. The committee on order of business made an additional revort providing that the seats of delegates who have been or shall be absent for two meetings unrepre- sented by proxies shall be declared va- cant, and the vacancies shall by the County Central Committee. The reading of the following resolution was greeted with prolonged applause: WHEREAS, The price to consumers of gas and electric lighting in tois City is out of all pro- portion to prices charged in other cities; and ‘whereas, the consolidation into one corpora- tion of the San Francisco Gas and Electric Light cowpsanies has materially reduced the cost of production uf said gas and electricilight, while at the same time creating & mouopoly to uphold exorbitant prices charged to con- sumers; therefore be it! Resolved, That this_convention pledges its nominees' for the offices of Mayor and the Board of Supervisors to reduce the rat charged for said illuminants to the lowest pos- sible figure—not to exceed 25 per cent on ex- ceeding rates. The resolution was referred to the com- mittee on platform and resolutions. A resolution indorsing the nomination of Thomas B. O'Brien for Congress from the Fourth District was unanimously adopted with a yell, on motion of A. Ruef. A. Ruef took the platform, holding be- tween his forefinger and thumb a $10 piece. This he handed to the secretary with a pull-back motion, but the string was in- visible and the secretary got it. e then placed Horace Davis innomination for the mayoralty, and eulogized that gentle- man’s record in Congress on the issue of the restriction of Chinese immigration. Mr. Ruef added that Mr. Davis would ac- cept the nomination, which announce- ment caused great cheering. Mr. Davis was declared the nominee by aeclamation. Senator Mahoney moved that H. P, Sonntag, A. Ruef, C. 8. Laumeister, E. B. Read and Jacob Levi be appointed & com- mittee to notify Mr. Davis of his nomina. tion. W. A. Richaidson nominated Asa R. ‘Wells for the auditorship, and he was confirmed by acclamation. Mr. Wells came forward, paid his $10 and accepted the gift of Martin Kelly with thanks. On motion of Delegate Seligsohn Henry 8. Martin was declared the nominee of the convention for Treasurer. Mr. Martin was not present. Then t:e convention adjourned until 8 o’clock this evening. Immediately after adjournment the Thirty-ninth "Assembly District conven- tion met for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Assemblyman from that dis- trict. ' W. T. Kibbler, Arthur McGuerren and Joseph Hirsch were named and an adjournment was taken until this evening. —_— NOT A ONE-WINGER. Horace Davis Nominated by the Fakirs Without His Con=~ sent. Horace Davis was seen by a CALL re- porter at his residence last night and was asked whether he intended to accept the nomination. Mr. Davis said: “I bave not consulted any one about the nomination, nor has any one consulted me. It would not be of any use for me to endertain a proposition to stand for office unless the party was united here. I could not afford to run as a candidate of any one wing ot the party. “Even if the party were united I would not accept a nomination unless I were given a l500&‘1 Board of Bupervisors, with whom could work soas to secure an honest administration of the city’s affairs. “The union of the party in San Fran- cisco will help the State ticket very much, The State ought to be carried for McKin- ley. Idonot think there has been such a vital issue before the people of the United States for the last nurt¥ years. It has obliterated ail the varty lines just as they were obliterated in 1860, ““The State election is the great thing to be kept in view.” BRI TO-DAY’S ‘CONVENT.ION.

There wili be a foll attendance of delegates, the proxy system being dis- p:nasid with, as R is lhb{a to all kinds of abuses. Thomas D. Riordan is the favorite for the permanent chairmanship. There will be a big fight for Street Buperintendent, a candidate of any one wing of the the strongest candidates being Thomas Desmond, J. ». Kincaid and George W. Elder. A. C. Widber is a prominent can- didate for the mayoralty. gyl —— 3 RAILROAD REPUBLICANS. Over Four Hundred Employes Listen to Tirey Ford and Colonel Robinson. The Railroad Employgfl’ Republican Club met last night, over 400" strong, in Native Sons’ Hall, on Seventeenth street, mear Valencia, and listened to and enthusias- tically applauded vigorous speeches made by ex-State Senator Tirey L. Ford, who discussed at length the advantages of Re- publican rule, and Colonel John H. Rob- inson, fresh from a tour of the northern part of the State, and filled with encour- agement over the outlook in that section for McKinley and protection. Music and song were introduced as a variation to the exposition of Republican doctrines, and to the evident approval of more persons than the bevy of women in the gallery. There were solos by Messrs. McIntyre and Secretary W. C. Cook, who also delivered an extemporaneous speech, not on politics, but in a vein of good humor particularly acceptable to his fel- low-employes, judging from their repeated spontaneous applause. A quartet, consist- ing of K. P. McIntyre, C. P. Mcintyre, J. J. Rose and M. Depue rounded out the unpolitical part of the programme with a sentimental selection appropriate to the secretary’'s harm less witticism on the woman suffragist and the new woman.

Dr. Colburn of Grace Meth- odist Episcopal Church Is Dead. Rev. Dr. M. F. Colburn, pastor of Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, corner of Capp and Twenty-first streets, is dead. He was stricken down some time dur- ing Saturday night by paralysis of the krain. Sunday morning Dr. Hanson was called and so critical did he consider the case that he called into consultation with him Dr. Henry Gibbons and Dr. Damkroger, All day Sunday the stricken man’s tem- perature remained as high as 104 degrees. Shortly after midright the patient recov- ered consciousness for a short time and askea what had happened to him and again became unconscious. esterday his temperature fell to 101 degrees and the anxious friends felt en- couraged, but last night it arose alarm. ingly, respiration became rapid and the pulse faster and fainter.

HIS LEGS, Operation to Be Performed Upon “Monk’* Cummings, the Newsboy. “Monk” Cummings, the crippled news- boy, who has been a familiar figure at Powell and Market streets for two or three vears, will go to the French Hos- pital this morning to diet himself for an operation to be performed on Saturday by Dr. J. Albert Noble of the Emporium building. “‘Monk’’ is now 21 yearsof age. He was born in the Northwest and while a baby teething he was paralyzed in both legs from the knees downward and his left arm was also rendered aimost useless. His parents died when he was a child. Dr. Noble, whose office windows covered the corner of Market and Powell streets, has agreed to operate on the little fellow ratuitonsly. The operation will be per- lormed on Saturday, and it will be several weeks before “‘Monk’ will be able to re- sume business again, so that his friends are not only anxious to raise enough money to pay for his care at the hospital, but to haye something for him to start afresh again. —_——— TO EXAMINE DIVISION STAFF. Governor Budd Names a Big Board to Perform That Duty. Governor Budd has appointed the Di visian Examining Board of the National Guard of California. The officers who will compose the board are: Brigadier- General John H. Dickinson, retired; Colonel W. P. Sullivan, retired, and Colonel D. B. Fairbanks of the Fifth In- fantry. These officers will have the duty im- posed upon them of examining the divi- sion staff for fitness for the positions Which they may be called upon to occupy.

DEMANDS FOR REFORM. Supervisors and Some Other City Oificers Are Roundly Scored. - FREE TELEPHONES AND GAS, Commendation of the Local Wheelmen for Asking Good Pavements and Streets. Prospect Hall, in the Odd Fellows’ building, was rather thinly populated at | last night’s session of the Non-partisan convention, but what the assembly lacked | in numbers was amply made up inen-| ¥ thusiasm. The chief business of the meeting was | 3 the adoption of a party platform. K. Fitch presided. The platform prepared was by Mr. Sullivan, It is a long document and promises great things. It demands clean streets and clean municipal government, scores Supervisors, the ‘‘push” ana the politico- religious combinations, and favors a dollar-hmit tax on a $300,000,000- valua- tion. The County Clerk is denounced, and free gas, water, light and telephone ser- vice are some of the things to which tax- | paying citizens are saida to be entitled. A protest is entered against the hich fees al- lowed to stemographic courtreporters, it being claimed that $5 a day or 74 cents a folio would be amply sufficient. The action of the local wheelmen in demanding good streets 1s warmly com- mended, and the position is taken that in no case should the Superintendent of | Streets be other than a practical engineer. The new charter is indorsed with many phrases of approval. The reckless ex- penditure of public funds is roundly : scored, and a hope expreseed that the | Southern Pacific may be paid in full like any other debt. i George Cumming had an objection to | offer to the platform. “It cannot be of any use to crush out | George | read | the spoils system,” he contended, “unless | _ it provides for a good elective system. Supervisors ought to be elected by the veople of the wards which they repre- sent.” Ex-Mayor Ellert deprecated the caustic references in the plaiform to Assessor Siebe. This caused quite a little discus- sion. But the wordy wrangle of the evening was between Messrs. Sullivan and Le Bre- | { ton as to & provision in the platform cali- ing for a feariess District Attorney. Mr, Sullivan in particuler waxed eloquent. It is not enough,’” he cried, *“for a Dis- trict Attorney to be young and courteous | and po;;:ln; he must be ready whenever | it may be his duty to proceed against all | persons guilty of malfeasance in office and get them over to San Quentin if they de- serve it.”’ Mr. Le Breton at length made it clear that he had intended only to criticise the wording of the section and quiet was par- tially restored. Mr. Sullivan, however, broke out afresh | when a mention of the Assessor was | made. ‘‘He ought to have gone to Sacra- mento,” he said, “and made his report to | the State Board of Equalization. It was his duty, and he neglected to perform it.” | Mr. Ellert rejoined that the Assessor was not obliged to present nimself before the Board of Equalization, and shonld not be censured for not doing a thing which the law did not compel him to do. | Several others spoke warmly in favor of Mr. Siebe, stating that the Merchants’ Association and other friends of the City had advised him not to go to Sacramento, The offending reference was stricken out, and the platform as amended was unanimously adopted. k& But barely had the platform been adopted when the members 1ell to picking it to pieces. “The Supervisors ought not to be de- nouncea as a whole,”’ remarked Mr. El- lert. “It would be better to limit our condemnation to the ‘‘Solid Eight.” Mr. Truman offered .a resolution refer- ring the gection back to thre committee on platform and resolutions for revision, but after much discussion the resolution was tabled. The committee on place of meeting re- ported that the hall of the Academy of Sciences seemed in their judgment both central and commodious. The following committees were then ap- poin‘ed by the chair: On judiciary—Henley, Ellert, Jacobs, Root, %nllh"ln, zxeg’ler, u.lfmu, Smith, CE;.p and regory. 050 rm?nn!c?ll affairs—Le Breton, Cumming, Harris, Whiting, Davis, Berteling, Burr, Zeils on Buparviss-Ellert, /G Ash n - Suj sors—Elle ‘app, _Ashton, Lynch, Bg:rwood.

Litera committee—Lynch, Hallidie, Per- kius, Paine, Samuels and Webster. Mr. Le Breton caused general consterna- | tion by making a motion that the mem- bers be usseased $20 a head for campaign expenses. The amount was at length reduced to $10, and it being put to a vote, all promised to subscribe that sum. he longest discussion of the evening was as to the time of the next meeting, cries of “Wednesday,”” “Thursday” and “Friday” alterna :f with - confusing reiteration.

After the rollcall the committee on cre- dentials gave notice that Robert Miles had been substituted as a delegate to the con- vention from the Thirty-first District in place of Dr. J. L. York and Dr. C. B. Cleveland from the Thirty-ninth in place of W. B. Dunlap. The following delegates from the Forty- fourth were seated: Joseph L. Kehrlein, M. A. Brown, B.J. Pye, J. K. Ross, H. J. ‘Wilson, M. J. Hearney, A. A. Ross, John Keane and Robert Hamiiton. A Hon. T. V. Cator was then called to the platform amid the plandits of the assem- blage und made a very eloquent speech. At the conclusion of his remarks Cator was loudly applauded. Hon. Taylor Rogers, chairman of the commitiee on platform, then read the re- portof that committee. ‘‘We have made this enunciation of vrinciples remarkably brief,”” he began, “and if adopted and put into operation it will completely make useless the verbose new charter.” The platform is as follows: POPULISTS ARE CONFUSED Dr. J. L. York’s Advocacy of Socialism Calls Forth - Round Cheers. As usual the municipal convention of the Populists was held at tne People’s party tent last nignt. But something that was not ususl happened. There came very near being war over the fuo- sion proposition and one delegate went so far as to say that Populists were making themselves ridiculous letting the Democrats have things their own way. Verbal oil was poured upon the troubled political waters in time 1o avoid any disruption ot the assemblage, PEOPLE'S PARTY PLATFORM FOR SAN FRANCISCO, ‘We indorse our State and National platforms and favor the foliowing propositions: First, direct iegislation by the people.

M. Custer took exception to the clause regarding religion, stating that both Na. tional and State constitutions guaranteed religious freedom, and therefore that the clause was unnecessary. Dr. J. L. York and J. H. Tingman made laudatory speeches on the platform, de- claring it a gem and perfect as it stood. On being put to a vote it was adopted unanimously amid uproarious enthu- siasm. Joseph Asbury Johnson, on behalt of the conference committee, stated that so far nothing definite had been done in re- gard to a fusion with either wing of the Demacrats. He had found, however, that nowhere was the People’s party regarded as an unimportant factor. He asked that the committee be continuea till the next meeting. 3 5 After a deal of warm discussion, pro and con, Chairman Daywalt ruled thas nominations were out of order till the re- vorts of the conference and resolutiors committees were heard. These had been iaid over till next meeting, hence nomina- tions were by this ruiing deferred till then. Dr. J. L. York was then cailed to the stand and made a very soothing and moli- fying speech, aimed especially at those delegates who wanted the convention to rise in its might and electrify the City by making nominations. York then proceeded to say that at heart he was a socialist, and thought eyery other man_ was, too. Asusual, the audience applauded, but as it began to dawn upon them that this was heretical doctrine they “looked one at the other and 'gan to counsel among them- selves.” Then after another brief speech n‘:‘l’ George D.
