THE SAN FRANC \LFORD IS TO NOMINATE MAGUIRE DEMOCRATS GETTING T0 .~ THE FRONT tinued from Third Page. N. Conklin of San Diego, L. Stanislaus, A, M. Seymour of § 5ld of San Jose and W. J. Curtis an Bernardino. At 7 o'clock this evening this committee will meet to pass on credentials, and all desiring business with them will sce them at that hour.

DEMOCRACY [+oW " man may not ..ink that I am firing at him. The secretary then read the resolution, as follows: The State Central Committee, believing it to be for the best in- terest of the party, recommends that such persons only be elected State Central Committeemen as are willing to accept its responsi- bilities and personally attend its -general meeting, thus curing the growing evil of proxy representa- tion; and we further recommend a discontinuance of the late prac- tice of enlarging the membership of the State Central Committee by appointment. The chair—Why not now submit it to the convention? Mr. Tarpey—It is a matter In my judg- ment, sir, that is properly submissible to the committee upon permanent organiza- tion and order of business. . The chair—Very well; it will go there then. Mr. Henry of San Francisco—I desire to submit at the same time an addition to that resolution. The secretary read the resolution, as follows: Resolved, That hereaiter no voting by proxy shall be allowed, nor shall it be legal in the State Central Committee upon any question involving or in any way affecting the rights of any organ- jzation of the party to act as the legally constituted committee of any county in the State. The chair—You move its reference to the same committee? Mr. Heeney—Yes, sir. The chair—If there is no objection it is g0 ordered. Mr. Deuprey of San Francisco—Mr. Chairman, I move you, sir, that when this convention does adjourn it does ad- _journ to the hour of § o'clock this even- ing. My reason for making the motion for that period is that I believe we can do more work between 9 p. m. and 1 2. m. than we can do all of to-morrow dur- ing the heat of the day. It seems to me that by 9 p. m. these committees ought to be ready to report, if I can get a sec- ond to that motion. Motion seconded. The motion was put by the chair and’ carried. Mr. E. E. Leake of Yolo—Mr. Chalr- man: At the request of a great many delegates in this vicinity I desire to make a motion to reconsider the motion just adopted, which provides that this con- vention take a recess until 9 o'clock to- night. Now, it is a physical impossibility for that committee on credentials to get their report by 9 o’clock to-night, and as a result this convention can do nothing until that committee does report, and I will make a motion that we rescind that resolution, if I can get a second to the motion. Motion seconded. The chair—{t is moved and seconded ed to what I consider to be proper | that we reconsider the motion by wihch f | we resolved that when we take a recess | we do take such recess until 9 o'clock | this evening. The gentleman from San | Francisco, Mr. McNab, has the floor. McNab from San Francisco— {“Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention: It would ap- pear to me that in two hours any discussion that could possibly arise or have any possible merit could be discussed. (Applause.) “Every time that the slightest friction in the Democracy of San Francisco occurs, it is thought necessary to go back to the days of "49 and tell us all about every Democrat who ever lived and what he did. There ought to be some time when that talk and some time when the contests I should be considered terminated. Mr. Leake of Yolo County—I want to call the attention of the delegates of this convention to the fact that never in the history of any convention in this State has it been enabled to assemble at the hour set. That committee will meet to-night at 7 o’clock— so the members of the committee say. It will be half past 7 o’clock before any business is transacted. That is the history of all State conventions which I have ever at- tended. Now I want to make this further prediction, that the gentlemen from San Francisco will occupy more than one hour and a half before that committee to-night. We of the country are tired of coming here and wash- ing the dirty linen of San Fran- | cisco. And I tell the gentlemen of this convention, I will venture the prediction that that commit- tee will not be ready to report by to-morrow morning. And it is a waste of time—an absolute waste of time—to call these people back here to-night and let them sit here hour after hour, waiting for the report of that committee. Now I want to say further that the motion that I have made upon this matter has no bearing —absolutely no bearing whatever —upon any contest that may be made in this house, but the mo- tion is made for the purpose of saving time. I know that these members will be dragged out here again at 9 o’clock, and we will only sit here hour after hour waiting for that committee that will not be ready to report until to-morrow morning, and for that reason I have made this motion to reconsider that resolution, and I hope it will prevail. Mr. Crittenden of San Luis Obispo—Mr. Chairman: On this question of adjournment I desire to state that it is within the power of that committee of credentials to finish their work in two hours. I am from the country, too, and I say that you can limit the ques- tion of debate on that question yourselves. You have not got' to listen to a man for an hour and a half. Give him five minutes, or give him ten. You have only got to pass upon the question of the members of this convention, and you can do that in twenty min- utes. The only question presented to this convention is as to the po- sition occupied by the delegation from San Francisco. Now I say to the gentlemen of this conven- tion, you can settle that in an hour and a half if the members of the committee on credentials will limit the debate on these matters to five or ten minutes. I move to lay on the table the motion to reconsider. Motion was seconded. The Chairman—The motion is now to lay on the table the motion to reconsider. Mr. Vice of Sacramento—Mr. Chairman, I would like to state— A voice—The gentleman is out of order. Mr. Vice of Sacramento—I would like to be heard just a moment. The Chair—Very well, I will hear what you have to say. This Is a Democratic convention, and we never gag anybody. Mr. Vice of Sacramento—I would like to state that we were informed we would only have a recess for thirty miputes, and we waited for three hours, and therefore the delegates from the country would like to ask this convention to adjourn until § o'clock to-morrow morning. Major Harney of San Fran- cisco—Mr. Chairman and Gen- tlemen of the Convention: I am opposed to this convention ad- journing over to 9 o'clock this evening. 1 am opposed to that for the simple reason that a great question of difference exists in the city and county of San Fran- cisco as to which is the legal De- mocracy of that city and county.

Mr. Harney. you will have plenty of time to discus Major Harn will try to address myself to the question. | Mr. McPike of Alameda—At the time this original motion was made and voted \pon by the house there Was not a nega- | tive volce. We all voted in the affirma- | tive, and that includes Mr. Leake, and | therefore he cannot make a motion to re- | consider. | The Chair—But he voted the way the| motion was carried. If he had voted the | other way he could not. | Major Harney —— Now, Mr. | Chairman, in talking upon this | motion it is almost impossible not | to refer to existing conditions in | the city and county of San Fran- | cisco. I believe that I am dressing this convention which is | composed of representatives of the Democracy of this State. I| believe that each and every mem- ber of the convention has assem- | bled here for the purpose of do- ing those things to help the Democratic party of California and to raise the standard of De- mocracy and place it upon the | pinnacle of success on the 8th of | next November. It is a fact that | it is absolutely impossible to se- cure success for the standard of | the Democracy without a good | round majority from the city and | county of San Francisco. There- | s this matter to- —Well, S Mr. Chai ad- | fore, Mr. Chairman, the commit- tee on credentials this evening is to meet for the purpose of hear- ing evidence in the case of the San Francisco Democracy.

I appeal to you, gentlemen of the conven- tion, as a Democrat, as one who has voted for the Democratic party so far as it was within my power, to give us a fair chance, to give us fair treatment, and T ask in the name of the Democracy that this convention adjourn un- til g o'clock to-morrow. Mr. Muldoon of Amador—I rise to polnt of order. The Chair—Mr. Muldoon you are to be (Laughter). Mr. Muldoon—My point of order is this: A motion to lay upon the table is not de- batable and I think the San Francisco delegation, if you will allow them to Keep on talking, will Keep us here so that we will not be able to get home in time to vote. The Chair—Your point of order is well taken. I thought I would give them a lit- tle airing now and there would be less for the committee to hear. Major Harney, the point of order is well taken. but I will not gag you If you want to talk a little while. Major Harney—I do not be- lieve it is the purpose of this con- vention to gag any Democrat. a | We have been gagged in the city {and county of San Francisco, and I hope that this convention will not follow out the practices adopted on the part of a few in the city of San Francisco. I do ask of this convention, Mr. Chair- | man, that it adjourn over until 9 o'clock to-morrow morning and give the San Francisco delega- |tion a fair chance to present the evidence affecting the interests of the San Francisco Democracy. Mr. Wright of Los Angeles—Mr. Chair- man and gentlemen of the cor vention, as a member of that committee I think of course that there will be accorded to the contesting delegation frem San Francisco a right to be heard to an extent which shall satisfy each of them. I hope so. But may it not be that the business of that committee may be expedited to such WOULD BE LIEUT X ) 4 N SYSTAS e NS =P ) S D= ENANT GOVERNOR.

If it turns out, gen- tlemen of the convention, that we cannot report you have not wasted any time. You have simply walked up to this pavilion, and it will do you good, I am sure, after your supper, and if, perchance. the report | of the committee is not ready you can walk back again.

My ob- ject wa r any circumstances, to have any discussion that might be allow- ed by the committee on credentials to be in any wise shortened, and I again say to those who may represent a different view than I do upon this floor that if they will only recognize that if there is a re- port coming from this committee on cre- | dentials that report is to be passed upon | by this convention, then these gentlemen | will have an opportunity to air their elo- quence and give us their reasons if they | deem fit. But for God's sake let us get down to work. We came here for that purpose and not to waste our time. [Ap- plause and cheers.] The Chair—Gentlemen, we have all dis- cussed this sufficlently, and we will now recognize that the point of order is well taken. Mr. Vice of Sacramento—I would Ifke to ask a question in regard to the vote, or ‘(hc question to be voted upon. The Chair—I am going to state the prop- osition, but I will not state it until you sit down. All you gentlemen sit down. I un- derstand you want to hear Mr. Fitzgerald.

Later the gentleman from Yolo moved that we re- consider the motion by which we agreed that when we adjourned we adjourn until 8 o'clock ‘this evening. Pending that mo- tion, a mdtion to lay on the table was made. The question now before this con- ventlon is: Shall the motion to recensider fixing the hour at 9 o’clock be laid on the table. The motion was put and was carried by a vive voce vote, The Chair—When we take our recess, it will be until 9 o’clock to-night, and if we are not able to attend and transact any business, if the delegations will send me their orders, we will allow them to com- pete with the wind machine that has just stopped. Mr. Alford—Mr. Chatrman, one of the most important things that we have to deal with In this conveniion is the matter of perfecting a reunion between the re- form forces in this State for the purpose of electing the next Goveraor of Califor- nia and all the ticket that we will nomi- nate here, and I move you now that a committee of seven be appointed by the Chair to consider the matter of fusion as it exists to-day between the Democratic party, the Populists and Silver Republi- can party. The motion was seconded. A delegate—Mr. Chalrman, I ris: to a point of order, that this committee can- not be appointed to consider the matter of fusion until after we have organized as a convention. Mr. Alford—The fusion cannot take place, Mr. Chairman, until the convention adopts the report of the committee. The Chair—I made the same ruling upon the motion to appoint a committee upon platform and resolutions and held that until the contesting delegations were sedt- ed, or until the matter of credentials was settled we were simply a temprorary or- ganization. I think the point of order is well taken. Mr. Alford—I simply wanted to expedite matters. The Chair—I desire to do so myself.

Woodman of the Sac- ramento Bee for State Printer, and Will S. Green of Colusa for Treasurer. The Harney-McNab fight was brought up, but the delegation took no vote on the question, agreeing instead to defer action untll after the convention recess, when another caucus was called. The twenty delegates from Fresno caucused at the Golden Eagle and elected E. D. Edwards chairman and W. D. Foote secretary. Charles Edel: man was indorsed for State Treasurer. There was considerable discussion oV er the San Francisco contest, and a ma- jority of the delegation openly ex- pressed themselves as in favor of sup- porting the Harney delegation. The sentiment of the caucus favored the unit rule on the proposition, but no definite action was taken. The Shasta men elected Thomas Dozier chairman of the delegation at their meeting this morning. 3 No positive action was taken, but it was the opinion among the delegates that the best way of settling the Har- ney-McNab feud would be to seat both delegations, giving their members a nent organization will look into that mat- ter.
