Patton was one of the lead- prominenc ers of the attack on the regular or- ganization and directed his attention particularly to Mitchell. The election of del 5 to the county convention afforded the opportunity Patton and his associates sought.

One of the ed was that the railroad was of the Mitchell following and was giving out passes to Sacramento to its delegates to the State Convention. | At 2 lock this afternoon the Pat- ton forces thought that possibly the | Dockweiler camp included a amajority | of the delegates from Los Angeles County.

They assert that Maguire has no stauncher supporters in the State than they, or that no warmer advocates of fusion can be found. They explain the Adcock pass affair in this way. Adcock was a candidate for the Assembly from the Seventy-third Dis- trict four years ago, but was defeated by Frank Finlayson. Adcock has al- ways been prominent in Democratic | politics in his county, affiliating with | the regular organizations. One day J. | Marion Brooks met Adcock and asked him if he was going to the ‘3tate Con- vention. Adcock sald ke could not af- ford the trip and askéd Brooks if he thought the railroad would give him | transportation.

Dunbar, editor of the Santa Rosa Democrat, is one of the Sonoms delegatées. He arrived here fo- and at once began the task of secur- upport for the Gubernatorial asnira- of Judge Seawell. He also made it known that he was upposed to fusion as appiied to State politics, and that he and his fellow delegates would do everything ble to defeat the present fusion ar- rangement. $5 ar as the Sonoma County delega- tion is concerned,” he said, ‘“we are for Seawell for Governor, first, last and all the time. Aside from that we will en- deavor to defeat fusion. “It is the general feeling among the Democrats of Sonoma County that fusion in State politics is a mistake, and the ac- tion of the delegation in opposing fusion will be in accordance with this feeling. Personally, I am opposed to fusion be- cause I believe that the Democratic party, by making any combination for support with the Popuiists or Silver Republicans, will lose more strength than it will gain, Fusion In counties is all very well, as the community is small and the wishes of the great majority of voters.is well known. But when the proposition is ap- plied to State politics, I am unalterably opposed to it, for the reason that I be- lieve a great party should not resort to such small methods of getting what is supposed to be a momentary advantage. We, in the First Congressional District, have had a bitter lesson on this fusion proposition and we are able to speak from experience. We accepted fusion two years ago and the Populist nominee, George W. Monteith. by refusing to resign in obedi- ence to the fusion arrangement, remained in the fight and succeeded in defeating the Democartic nominee, F. A. Cutler. The men who are running the present fusion arrangement now propose to make this same Monteith the fusion candidate for Congress from the First District. This is 4 little more than we can stand for even if we were not opposed o fusion as a general proposition. 1If the fusion agree- ment is ratified it will be accomplished without the votes of the Sonoma County legation. A the fight between the two con- testing San Francisco delegations I do not care to say much at this time. As a gen- eral proposition we are prepared to stand v the Harney delegation. as we are op- posed to the methods by which the other delegation was brought into existencs. If the Harney veople do what is right ‘hey will reacive our sunport and I believe they will reccive the support of a majority of the delezaies at this conveatlon.” LEVINGS. —_—————— CONGRESSMAN LOUD ARRIVES.

Governor Budd’s I;éorsement Was the Bone of Contention. STOCKTON, Aug. 15.—The County Con- vention to-day was turned into riot, when Governor Budd's friends resurrected a resolution endorsing him, which had been previously Killed in committee. ‘They dar- ed not put it to a vote, but with a Budd | man in the chair and a party of friends | with strong lung-power in the convention, | they howled “L” The “noes” came back with a roar. A demand was made that the chalr recognize an appeal from its de- cision, but the friends of the Governor rallied around Chairman Gibson and he outgeneraled them. When the commit- tee on platform and resolutions reported to the convention in the morning not a word was said commendatory of the Gov- ernor. The committee was anti-Budd. The platform was adopted and it looked like the convention would be content to glve the Governor the marble heart. Colonel Nunan was determined, how- ever, to get a Budd indorsement through; it was sprung after resolutions and the like were out of order. It precipitated a whirlwind. Dr. Gordon and Geerge Lieg: inger led the opposition to the resolution. When Francis moupéed the platform and started to read the resolutions com- mending Budd, Dr. Gordon followed him and said: “I'm going to read that if any one does.
