. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, AUGUST 19, 1598. HOW McNAB WAS CHECKED BY JIM BARRY Dwyer Held Up the Yellow Journal to the Scorn Even of Democrats. Disreputable Trick of Mayor Phelan " to Defeat Judge Conley of Madera by Falsely Stating the Vote.

The details of the manner in which the Examiner - McNab - Phelan - contingent sought to force the nomination of Judge Coffey are interesting, as they make plain the reasons why the delegates from the interior arrayed themselves successfully against the delegations from the larger cities. After the first ballot had been ta- ken, great pressure was brought to bear upon the delegates from Alameda, Los Angeles and San Francisco, to force them into line for Coffey. Los Angeles had on the first ballot vot- ed solid for Judge Hughes of San Diego, and Alameda and San Francisco had been split up between the various candi- dates. The San Francisco delegation had been pledged by the Examiner-McNab crowd to almost every one of the candidates in return for supoprt in seating the San Francisco delegation. After the second ballot had been taken the Los Angeles delegation held a caucus. George S. Pat- ton, chairman of the delegation, stited that he was not in favor of changing the vote from Judge Hughes to some other candidate. Senator White sald that while he was opposed to the unit rule it had been plac- ed on the delegation and it would have to stand. A vote was taken and it was decided to stand by Judge Hughes for one more ballot. Before this ballot was announced Judge Hughes released the delegation and another caucus was held. | Senator White announced that he was in favor of having the vote of the dele- | gation taken by roll call. He created a | sensation by stating that he had noticed | that within the past fifteen minutes every { railroad heeler he could see and whom he | had known for fifteen years was on the floor fighting against Judge Coffey. This | statement had a decided effect and when a vote was taken it was apparent tnat | the pressure brought to bear by the Ex- aminer-McNab forces was having its ef- fect. When™ the name of Isidore’ B. Dock- weller was reached that gentleman an- nounced that he desired to explain his vote. John T. Gaffey made an objectlon, but Dockweller said: ‘‘Whether Mr. Gaf- fey desires it or not, I am going to ex- plain my vote. Three weeks before I was | elected a delegate to the convention I pledged my support to Judge Conley. Now Senator White comes forward with a statement, or at least the intimation, | that the railroad company is interesting itself in Conley’s behalf. I have heard enough of it. This rallroad business is | making me_very tired. I will cast my vote and the two proxies which I hold for Coffey.” When the result of the vote was an- nounced 1t was found that forty-two votes ay without was to be ex- had become fated, and had ank slipped in e the Democratic plun- the s not an event—merel things and plenty were o at are this personality factor in Democratic empt to gain control organization of the | the State and turn had been matters | He desired nominee of | om the Fourth | wish to oc- | of the American | id, to a desire to | flith ccumulated being presumed sociations. ook a poll | gressional District's 1 that his friends were ently numerous therein to make of his nomination in case his d to the convention as ab then announced his ) wit his name from the of prospective candidates, the fact of 1t being told exclustvely 1. came known Barry's *Nab and made the re- pering Boss with- ¢ should throw his | strength to Barry. ‘This McNab declined | to do as the fight between himself and | for the nomination had been an | v bitter one. rry then an- unced his intention of fighting McNab every proposition the latter advanced.

This programme ully rried out, and it may be re a few delegates present | clently complaisant to cast thelr votes for Republicans or Populists at the polls next November remains to be seen. It Is cer- tain, however, was a very bitter one, and though no | faces that were made attested the reluct- ance with which the fusion mixture was swallowed.

The chairman was then in- structed to cast the eighty-one votes of the delegation for Coffey. | After the nomination of Judee Conley had been made, a somewhat pecullar in- | cident occurred. Mr. Dockweller, who had cast three votes for Coffey, walked to the rear of the chairman’s stand with several friends. A discussion of the re- sult of the vote was entered into and Mr. Dockweller was o affected that he ap- | peared to be upon the point of fainting. | His friends succeeded in restoring him, but for a few moments the tears rolled | down his cheeks and he appeared the pic- ture of despalr. While the third ballot was belng taken Mayor Phelan invited the San Francisco delegation to caucus on the matter of Judge Coffey’s nomination. They left the convention hall with him and met in the left wing of the bullding. Mayor Phelan, speaking at considerable | length as to the strength Judge Coffey would add to the ticket, sald that he thought it would only be paying him a deserved compliment if he was given the entire vote of the delegation. Gavin McNab strenuously objected to any such course. ““While I respect Judge Coftey as highly as any other delegate here,” sald he, “it s not fair or just to the other candidates from the interfor to cast a solld block of 154 votes against them. You must remember, gentlemen, that the country heiped us out in our fight, and If it was not for the support received from the country delegates we | would not be sitting in this convention to- day.” Walter Gallagher, Mayor Phelan anpd W. F. Stafford argued against the stand taken by McNab and said that Judge Cof- fey would materially ald Judge Maguire in his candidacy. They sald they were unable to see any reason why the coun- try delegates should in any way feel of- fended if the city delegates saw fit to throw all their strength to him. “I, for one,” said L. Reavy, “desire to say right here that I am opposed to a solld vote being cast. We have not any unit rule, and the entire vote of the del- egation cannot be cast for any candidate unless every delegate is satisfied.” “You will make a serious mistake,” said McNab, “if you throw the whole vote to Judge Coffey on this ballot.” The majority would not listen to Mc- Nab, and when the vote was cast they weye not long in discovering that McNab Y. e e, ADVERTISEMENTS. 0o o o R RTINS THAT IS FHEHRR HHRHR R o R HERH R RS POCKET WHAT THE MANU- FACTURER HAD T0 DO.

Jere Coffey, a nephew of Judge Coffey, was displeased at the action of the dele- gation. “I do not see why the managing editor of the Examiner should put Judge | Coffey in this false light,” said he, “for if Judge Coffey wanted the nomination he would have had his name placed in nom- ination in regular form. I am not certain that he would accept the nomination If it was given to him. All of the efforts of the would-be bosses, however, proved fruitless, for soon as it | became apparent to the country delegates that the city delegates were combining to force the nomination of Judge Coffey they themselves entered into a combination, the result of which brought the nomina- tion of Judge Conley by a handsome ma- jority, much to the discomfiture of the Examiner’s political bureau. —_— RECEPTION FOR MAGUIRE. Silver Republicans Will Entertain the Little Giant in San Fran- cisco Saturday. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Aug. 18.—Among the active m who are to a greater or less extent mold- | ing the action of this Democratic con- ventfon is Nathan Cole Jr. of Los Ange- les, the Siiver Republican National Com- mitteeman from this State. Mr. Cole has not appeared at the convention hall. He has his headquarters at the State House Hotel, and from that point exerts his influence. Mr. Cole announces this evening that Saturday night the administration com- mittee of the Silver Republican party will tender a reception to Judgc Maguire at the California Hotel, in San Francisco. All who desire to come will be invited, but it is expected that the Silver Re- publicans will turn out in force. On August 27 the Silver Republicans will hold their State convention in Los Angeles. Mr. Cole thinks that 800 dele- gates will be In attendance. The duties of that convention will be merely per- functory. They will simply indorse what the Democratic and the Populist conven- tions have alreadv done. sy T Democrats Name Dryden. CALL HEADQUARTERS, Sacramento, Aug. 18.—The Third Railroad Commission District convention met after adjourn- ment and nominated J. L. Dryden of San Diego. Dr%:dnn was orlginally nom- inated by the Populists, and when that party fused with the Democrats it was part’ of the programme that the Demo- crats also nomingte him. s ) DA Santa Cruz Unpledged.

The following is the report of the fusfon committee: Mr. President: Your committee ap- pointed to confer with committees rep- resenting the People’s and the Silver Re- publican parties on the question of the union of partles, on the question of the union of forces in this campaign, respect- fully report that at a conference of such committees the agreement herewith sub- mitted was considered and adopted. ‘We find the representatives of the People’'s and Silver Republican parties in earnest in this fight, and from authori- tative reports received by them from the various parts of the State, find that plan of union contained in said agreement, if ratified by the Democratic State Con- vention, will be loyally supported by the members of their respective parties. We earnestly hope that in view of the great issues at stake, and in view of the fact that the three parties to this agreement are in harmony on the essential rin- ciples upon which the perpetuity and the success of our institutions depend, differ- ing only in non-essentials, this convention will ratify this agreement and thus lay the foundation for future success of the principles held in common by the respec- tive parties to this agreement. Respect- fully submitted, ‘William H. Alford, George E. Church, A. Caminetti, Bart Burke, A. D. Lemon, Joseph F. Walsh. To the Democratic State Convention: At a joint meeting of the conference com- mittee of the Democratic, People’s and Silver Republican parties, appointed by the State conventjons of their respective parties, with a view of a.fecting a union ot Silver and other reform forces in the lv:omlng campaign it was agreed as fol- ows: 7 First—That there shoui. be a union of such parties and a united efiort made to secure economical government, the re- sumption of the free and unlimited coin- age of siiver and gold at iue present legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation, and the administration of public affairs on the basis of honesty and “"Equal rights to_all, special privileges to none.” Second—That we recommend such union to be founded on mutual concessions as follows: * The Sflver Republican party to be con- ceded the nomination for one Justice of the Supreme Court and the Clerk of the Supreme Court; the People’s party to be ceded the nominations for Lieutenant Governor, Controller, Superintendent of Public Instruction, member o. the Board of Rallroad Commissioners of the Third District; the Democratic part~ ceded the Governor, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, Attorney General, Sur- veyor General, Superintendent of Printing, one Justice of the Supreme Court, the members of the Board of Rallroad Commissioners for the First and Second Districts, the members of the Board of Equalization in the First, Sec- ond, Third and Fourth districts. As to Congressional districts said com- mittees respectfuiy recommend that the People’s party be conceded the nominees for Congress in the First, Sixth and Sev- enth districts, and that the Democratic arty be conceded fhe nominees in the econd, Third, Fourth and }.fth districts. We further earnestly recommend that a union of sald forces be made wherever gosslble in the varlous portions of the tate on candidates for the Legislature, county and local officers. The Democratic State Convention is hereby notified that the Silver Repub- lican party and the People’s party have, in pursuance of the agreement heretofore entered into, accepted and ratified the foregolng basis of union, and have nom- inated candidates for the respective of- fices conceded to such parties. On receiving notice of the ratification of this agreement the Silver Republican party and the People’s party, through their duly authorized agents for that pur- pose, are prepared to make all final ar- rangements for the carrying into full ef- fect the foregoing agreement. The respective committees to this agreement, in view of the combination of all corporate influences inimical to the general welfare under the protecting auspices of the Republican party, and in view of the fact that the Silver and reform forces of the couutry agree on the paramount and political issues of the day, and the success and application of which in the government of the State and nation are dearer to partles than vic- tory under any party name, hereby ap- peal to this convention and to all citi- zens not only to effect said union, but to make it successful at the polls, to the ends that in the coming contest in 1900, under the banner of Bryan and Silver, as now under the banner of Maguire and Reform, we will all be found fighting shoulder to shoulder In a common cause for the uplifting of the masses to their rightful place in government.

After Much Friction He Was Nominated for Justice of the Supreme Court. SACRAMENTO, Aug. 18.—The Los An- geles county delegation during the morn- ing hour held another of its memorable caucuses to decide how the delegation should vote for Associate Justices of the Supreme Court. A vote was had without much difficulty or squabbling and it resulted as follows: Judge Hughes of San Diego, 59; Judge McKissick, 11; Judge Farnsworth, 2. Just as the vote was announced, James L. Gallagher of San Francisco appeared on the scene and had a brief consultation with Me. Dockweller and Mr. Patton. Mr. Dockweller immediately appeared and asked the caucus to delay action until after lunch. His reasons he did not give, but it was apparent that the Maguire managers did not want Judge Hughes to have the eighty-one votes of Los An- geles County for the reason that they wished to have the nomination come from the northern part of the State. Judge Van Dyke, the Stlver Republican nominee to be con- | State | from Los Angeles, and Hughes of San Diego as the second nominee, the ticket as to the Supreme Bench would be geo- graphically uneven. This Mr. Gallagher did not want to see, but despite his in- tervention, through Mr. Dockweller, Judge Hughes was declared the choice of the caucus, and Judge McKissick the sec= ond choice. ———— FOURTH EQUALIZATION.

Dusterberry of Alameda nominated Thomas Scott of Livermore for member of the Board of Equalization from that district, and he was unanimously elected. The purity of election committee was appointed and the convention adjourned. BELIEF THAT AMERICA WILL HOLD PHILIPPINES Development of the New Eastern Question Watched With Keen Interest in Vienna.

The fact that Senator Davis, who is a public advocate of annexation, and Secretary of State Day, a supporter of the Hawaiian policy, are appointed commissioners is regarded as indicat- ing that President McKinley favors their retention.
