THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, AUGUST 19, 1898. T SWALLOWED FUSION LIKE LITTLE MEN 'T'he Fire-Eaters Didv Not Rave When the Tledicine Was Presented. A Cut-and-Dried Programme Was Wel- come, but This One Was Altogether Too Coarse. BY HENRY JAMES. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Aug. 18.—Yesterday there were plenty of Democrats swearing by the- shade of Jefferson they would néver submit to fusion. To-day they meekly submitted. The ox and the ass are duly yoked. I am bound to say the situation Is not wholly pleasing to either member ‘of ‘the team. The report of the fuslon committee wais received almost as soon as the con- vention had been called to order. There was no opposition, no enthusiasm. The Democrats who had threatened to speak against it were silent, and when a Democrat is silent he has been hard hitt: After fusfon had gone through With a rush Deuprey arose in his place and began to talk. The day was hot, the ele c fan was at rest and no- ‘body felt in a mood to hear remarks from ~anybody but himse Voices suggested wearily that Deuprey go to the platform and he went, despite the fact that Chairman Cassin declared thig unnecessary. - | I digress to state that as a chairman inadequate and Cassin is the most helpless person ever h g the gavel. ulty of con- no more law than an ele- | | He for some of the| led has strained his | vbeal.cords, that he did not think the game ghould be delayed until the adop- | 3 orm, but should pro- | ceed’ at yminations. The plan was accepted, for the can- | didatés' would have to and on the platform when they got one anyhow. There was a little noise, some talking, no: attention to ( in and then Al- ford: came forward.

Then there ells, but nothing indicating a | wild enthusiasm. I.was surprised at this. Msguire being regarded as the only | man' on the cross-bred ticket sup- | pozed to have a ghost of a show of | election, there might have been an ex- | cuse for noise. Alford proceeded to that in the presence of Maguire | ulogy- stood mute, and then launched | into.a wild encomium which boosted | Maguire far above the clouds and left thrilled by the flutter of angel wings. I had not known that Maguire was g0 good. If all Alford sald is true, heaven is Maguire's home.

It was a sensible, moderate effort, listened to attentively and received | with every token of respect. But still | there was a chronic absence of enthu- | siasm. The cheers were perfunctory and soon died away. | sociate on the ticket also appeared. He | was a stranger to most of the dele- gates and will probably remain so- Nevertheless he was heard respectful- ly, which may reasonably be construed |as a compliment. While a roll call on Supreme Court | candidates was in progress, Mr. Ma- guire was among his friends on the floor. I could not help wondering why he should walt to enter what seems now a hopeless race for the Governorship when he could, if he wished, remain ‘1n Congress. The Governorship is a thankless job, with not enough patron- age to go around, and a term in the chair certain to end amid the assaults of a crop of enemles in one’s own party. And a campaign for the Gov- ernorship, backed by disgruntled Dem- ocrats and Populists who have grabbed | most of the places and regret not hav- ing grabbed all, does not seem to me rich in promise. A notable feature of the second roll call was the effort of some of the Los Angeles men to break away from gag rule, by which they had been voted in every propositio They were not al- lbwed the breakawa- Patton and the other prominent members could not understand why their fieretofore tract- able followers should haye presumed to have minds of their own. The pre- sumption could not be sustained. Los Angeles was temporarily passed and when its turn came again voted its solid eighty-one. The motive of Los Angeles is plain. It is going to down the bosses, even if it has to set up a few of its own. Meantime Dockweiler has assumed | the gavel, because Cassin had found | the task too much for him. quired Dockweiler about two seconds to straighten out this disorderly rab- ble, which was standing or moving about, talking and laughing with total disregard of the frantic plea of Cas- sin. Some people have greatness thrust upon them and it proves a misfit. Cas- During the final moments of the struggle, and | after the fact had become plain that | was nominate | Coffey would be defeated, I noticed lit- tle Andy Lawrence sitting in the atti- tude of despair. He had been the big bug of the Coffey fight. He had given odds to Mayor Phelan, conferred with Tarpey and buzzed like a bee, hopped like a cricket, as his wont; snorted, ranted, tore his hair, struck his Napoleonic pose; he had scowled, been terrible as Jove, impli- cable as death, devastating as a cy- People had looked at him and trembled. He had looked at them and they had shriveled up—yet he got it in_the neck. It is a pity that a man like Coffey, impelled by a worthy ambition to seek a place on the Supreme bench, should | be weighted, hampered, crippled, by | having to appear as the candidate of a | characterless nobody, foisted into a temporary show of in- fluence. When the convention under- stood that Andy was back of Coffey | opposition to Coffey gained strength it | could have obtained in no other way. Matters were worse when Los An- geles came to the rescue of the San ness which had marked Alford’s, which seemed to have been colored by a no- | tion that the press had been unkind. Here came nominations to the Su- preme bench. 1 violate no confidence in saying that they were a weariness | to the soul. Every man with a can- didate to propose had also a speech of | great length and inutility. He ap- peared to feel it incumbent to give the | blography of the aspirant, not only | from the cradle to the glorious pres- ent, ‘but for about three generations back and an eternity ahead. He would amble on with a riot of words and phrases, with large chunks of personal and wholly uninteresting history. The epeaker would express his own emo- tions, perspiring the while profusely, growing red in face, bending, gesticu- Jating, and in the audience others would be waitinz for a chance to do the same thing. The speeches should have been lim- ited to two minutes. I did not time ther, Probably they averaged ten or twelve minutes, but they struck the senses as about an hour and a half .each. - Between the speeches Cassin would beg that order be preserved, but he:could not ‘induce any one to take his view of it. After all the speeches devoted to eulogizing everything In sight, to memory dear, or extent in the vague realm of hope, the flow of -eloquence was dammed, so that action cotild be taken concerning the plat- form. I trust the esteemed compositor ‘will spell the word dammed correctly, although, except for morality’s sake, he ought to spell it the other way. . The platform was read in a droning thonotone calculated to induce slumber. It -recelved little attention, excited hardly a ripple of cheering and as it conformed to the programme in all re- spects was adopted, just as the nomi- nation of Maguire was made by accla- mation. There was simply no other ‘course to take. ‘While the convention dragged along ‘there were members outside who were ‘attending to other prescribed details. Bafry got the 'nomination in the | Fourth Congressional District, but not until MéNab had it offered to him with a string attached. With a gesture patterned after that used by Caesar, Francisco contingent. In their eager- ness to rebuke the cheek of Andy and teach Los Angeles a lesson, the other delegates united, and the fate of the | Coffey boom was sealed. Both of- fenders deserved the rebuke, but it | was hard on Coffey. Los Angeles has earned the distinction of being the most unpopular delegation in the hall, |and Andy of being one of the most | shameless men in California. So, for their sakes, the knife was put {into San Francisco. It was at this stage of -the proceed- ings that Andy gathered himself into a darkened room and mourned as one | who could not be comforted. During the closing moments of the contest there was a remarkable scene. | With a little stronger element of anger it might have been a riot. Poor Cas- | sin pounded and shouted, and when the | people got ready they permitted quiet | to be restored. ~ The sergeant-at-arms | had been instructed to corral the tur- | bulent. He did not try it. They sim- ply came back when they got ready | and they turned a trlumphant torrent | of votes In Conley's favor. The last moments of this vote were marked by | a desperate struggle, a veritable pan- | demonium, through which the thump of the gavel beat an irregular anvil {chorus. Hats were thrown into the lair, and men gesticulated wildly, | standing on thelr chairs until jostled off. But it was enthusiasm and some- | thing of the kind had been needed. When Judge Conley came forward to make a speech there was quiet. Tt was a boon. There had not been any | worth remembering for several hours. Thanks are due the Examiner man- agement for the distribution of that | paper in the convention each morning. Tt can be folded so as to make a very acceptable fan, and drive away the heat while one Is reading The Call. T happened to see that an article In 1t | yesterday had been written by Al- phonso Murphy, and this morning that there was one from Al Murphy, Mr. Murphy explains that his name is real- 1y Alphonse de la Guerra: that he called it Murphy for fear the Demo- crats would think him a dude, and that while he descended from a Spanish grandee, he does not believe in swell- ing around on the strength of his blue | blood. So, by special request, he is | plain “Al” again. not deeming that his | salary warrants him in lending courtly | zlamour to his environment, and think- ing ‘“Alphonse” incompatible with steam beer. Perhaps this is a diver- gence from convention matter, but it ie pleasing to wander away from a pro- when he rejected a crown, McNab mo- | gramme bearing the thumb marks of Maguire's as- | It re- ‘ whom luck has | o o STEVE WHITE HA> BEEN [ CONMFINED To WIS RooM~™FoR A PEW DAYS ° * | McNab and shining with the radiance | of Les Angeles’ purity. | There was an expectation that the evening session would be short, being | based upon & belief that the lambs had | been selected in advance for the slaugh- ter and little remained but to name them. | _This expectation was mnot realized. | Proceedings were matter of fact, with | no greater tumult than was raised | when the chairman ordered the “gen- tleman with the white pants to 3it | down.” | Among the curiosities of the conven- | tion is the nomination to Congress ot | J.

To have aroused them to a scrapping frame of mind would have required more provo- cation than anybody had the energy to give. They made a moderate and seem- ly uproar over Woodman's triumph. There was a vote of thanks to the officers of the convention. I did not see why, but the resolution was amended So as to include the people of Sacramento. I could understand. Just at midnight the chairman made his last blunder, the convention came to an end. Graveyards yawned and so did most of the people in the pavilion. DAVIS FOR PARDEE. The Former Will Abide by the De- cision of the Primaries. CALL HEADQUARTERS, Oakland, Aug. 18—An effort is being made among and that large element of the Republican party of this county that bas for years been the frlend of | both Dr. Pardee and Mr. Davis, to have the latter nominate the doctor at the State convention next week. The matter has not yet been presented to | either of the gentlemen, nor will it be until it is certain that the idea will meet | with favor from all concerned. Much good feeling has been created by | the fact that on Saturday evening as soon as the result of the primaries was known Mr. Davis went to his office and wrote several very frank straightforward letters to some of his leading supporters. In these letters he positively stated that he wanted no one who had worked for him to entertain the slightest {ll-feeling over the result of the primarles, but to do all in his power to furt.er the can- didacy of Dr. Pardee. He requested that no criticisms be made, no personal views exploited, but that everytmng be done to insure the nomination of an Alameda County man for Governor. It is conceded on all sides that Mr. Davis has proved to be the gamest loser Alameda County has ever known. The idea of trying to bring about such a situation by which Mr. Davis would nominate Dr. Pardee is sole- ly for the purpose of fostering the fact that Alameda, although fighting within ftself for a year, is now a unit in its choice of a man for the head of the ticket. Mr. Davls s well known as one of the leading Republican orators of the State, and the majority of the Alameda County Republicans are anxlous that he should place the name of Pardee before the convention at Sacramento next week. The main topic of conversation to-day is the great sweep made by Victor Met- calf yesterday, in which he completely routed Mr. Hilborn’s forces in Alameda, Contra Costa and Yolo counties. There is a very close vote in the Fiftieth As- sembly District which Mr. Hilborn's friends declare will result in his favor, should the district be recounted. There are, however, but ten votes in the dis- trict, and_even should they all be con. ceded to Mr. Hilborn, Mr. Metcalf still has more than enough to nominate in Alameda County alone, without the seven from Yolo, the nine from Contra Costa, the three from Solano, and probably oné from Lake, of which he is certain. In the Fiftieth District s the Second Ward, wherein lives Superintendent Leach of | the Mint, and Counciflman F. R. Girard. It is the largest district geographically, but one of the smallest in point of votes. Last night Metcalf led Hilborn by two votes, the figures being 891 and 833 re- spectively. A closer inspection of a few scratched ballots has made the figures | equal with two ballots that will probably | be construed as being favorable to Met- | calf, It is not at all unlikely that pure- ly from political etiquette this district will be allowed to Mr. Hilborn, out of | courtesy partly to kim and partly to Mr. Leach, Mr. Metcalf, discussing his success to. day, said: “The very handsome indorse- mént which my candidacy has received cannot be other than a source of pro- found gratification to me. I do not, how- ever, for a moment forget the responsi- bilities which follow. It will be my life- long endeavor to_justify the confidence reposed in me. I know that the only return desired is that I shall serve my district and its people faithfully and ener- getically and that I shall certainly do. T am not unmindful that my success is Mr. Hilborn's defeat. Toward him I have none but the kindliest feelings, and | of him I have never said a word of dis- | paragement. The choice was fairly left | to the voters with such odds in Mr. Hil- born’s favor as belong to the man in of- fice against the untried candidate.”” Judge Nusbaumer, who has managed Mr. MetcalCs campaign, mado a stafe- ment to The Call last Tuesday, in which he sald that Alameda would go solid for Metcalf and have twenty-three votes | from outside counties. He I8 now con-| gratulating himself that his prediction | has been verified with the exception that Metcalf has twenty-two instead of twen- ty-three outside votes. One-of the warmest centers of the con- | flict was Mr. Hilborn's home ward, the | Seventh. On the night before the’ pri-| maries some of Metcalf's friends would not have bet a cent on that ward, but the result showed that a complete change | had come over it, for Mr. Metcalf ob- | tained a majority of forty-one. Postmas- | ter Friend, who is chairman of the Third District Congressional committee, kept aloof from the war during yesterday, Eis | son, W. Nat Friend, president of the Fifth Ward Pardee Club, rendered falth- ful service to the man who had rewarded his father, and the result shows that his | precinct in the Fifth Ward gave Mr. Hil- orn a majority of seventeen. The cam paign made by Mr. Metcalf's managers was undoubtedly the most perfect, ag gressive and intelugent ever put up in Alameda County. Those who worked most actively in the _successrul candi- date's behalf were Judge Nusbaumer, George W. Reeu. T. T. Dargle, H. O Trowbridge, Will Henshaw and M. C. | Chapman. SACRAMENTO PATRIOTS. Administration of President McKin- ley Commended and a County Ticket Put Up. SACRAMENTO, Aug. 18.—The Republi- can County convention held here to-night was a large and enthusiastic body.

P HEADQUARTERS, U= CALL SACRA- MENTO, Cal., Aug. 18.—In the First Con- | gressional District Convention there were some differences to adjust before the fusion programme could be carried out. J. F. Farrahar of BSiskivou was elected chairman and C. O. Dunbar of Sonoma secretary. Mr. Dunbar wantei to have a committee appointed to see if a trade could not be made whereby the Populists would take the Third District and give the Democrats the First Dis- trict. Delegate Cutler declared that the re- port of the fuslon committee had been adopted by the general convention, and that the Congressional could not now overturn that agreement. Mr. Cutler sald that the First District must nomi- nate a Populist and there was no way out of it. Still Delegate Dunbar kicked, but without avail. T. B. Dozier of Shasta stated that while he was originally opposed to the fusion programme it had been adopted and he was now in favor of standing by it. M. E. Dittmar, the Populist from Shas- ta County, who nominated T. W. H. Shanahan for Governor in the Populist convention, was then nominated for Con- gress by the Democratic convention. J. C. Ruddick of Mendocino and T. B. Do- zler of Shasta were chosen as members at large of the State Central Committee, and the convention adjourned. SECOND CONGRESSIONAL. The Second Congressional District Con- vention met during the afternoon and or- anized by the election of A. Dixon of lacer as chairman and D. W. Carmi- chael of Sacramento as secretary. E. Thompson of San Joaquin placed in nomination the name of Marion DeVries, incumbent, for the office. There was no opposition to DeVries, and he was nom- inated by acclamation. Z After the selection of Peter J. Shields of Sacramento and J. D. Sproule of Butte as State committeemen, and the appoint- ment of the regular committee, DeVries thanked the convention for the honor, and it adjourned -with cheers for the nominee. THIRD CONGRESSIONAL. Although the Third Con{]resshma.l Dis- trict hng been accorded by the fusion agreement to the Democrats, no Demo- cratic candidate could be found, so the honor fell upon the shoulders of a Silver Republican in the person of John Aubrey Jones of Fruitvale, Alameda County. Chairman Ed E. Leake called the con- vention to order. Nominations_for Congress being in or- der, Delegate Lund of Alameda presented the name of John Aubrey Jones, a Silver Republican. John Nixon of Yolo said that he had never seen John Aubre{ Jones and he would like to view him to ascertain whether or not he had *“‘a Congressional head or not.” Mr. Jones thereupon appeared and made a speech, explaining how he had been a Republican, a Silver Republican and now a Democrat. The following Congressional committee was named: Alameda, M. J. Laymance; Colusa, F. H. Abel; Contra Costa, W. D. Woolbert; Glen: eorge Featherstone; Lake, Dan Jones! Yolo, M. A. Nourse; Solano, J. T. Ryan. After naming the following auditin committee the convention adjourned: F. W. Voigt, M. J. Laymance, E. J. Lund, R. M. Fitzgerald and W. C. Price. FOURTH CONGRESSIONAL. was nominated for James H. Bal Congress in m:ry Fourth District to-day after Gavin McNab, according to pro- gramme arranged by the !flonai of both, “ These remarks were | “and they are so laud: had declined the nomination. The work was carried out in neat shape. -There was only one little hitch when one of, the dei- egates who was not on the “inside’” called attention to the fact that more votes had been cast in one district than there were delegates present. It was explained to him that it was a simple mistake, but he asked for a rolicall and it was shown that McNab had been given one more vote than he was entitled to. A vote more or less did not matter either way, as all that McNab was looking for was a ‘‘vindlca- tion.” He tried the “vindication” with the assistance of some of Barry’s friends and then carried out his part of the play by declining the nomination. Senator Sam Braunhart and W. P. Lawlor, who were in the contess, did not receive even a ‘“‘mentlon.” It was a pleasant little love feast, and when the programme was completed and Barry declared the ‘“unanimous choice’ of the convention, he said some very nice and pretty things about McNab. This was all part of the piay. The convention met during recess hour and went into permanent organization by the election of T. W. B. Leland as chair- man and E. P. E. Troy secretary. ‘When nominations were declared in or- der Max Popper took the platform to pre- sent McNab’'s name to the convention. He sald McNab was the equal of Ma- uire in honesty, ability and Integrity. arry was placed In _nomination by Walker C. Graves, who described him as a bold, fearless and incorruptible Demo- crat and a worthy successor of Congres: man Maguire. The nomination of Bar] was seconded by R. P. Doolan, M. Manzer and Dr. C. C. Clinton. A call of the roll was then ordered with the fol- lowing result: Twenty-eighth District—Barry 6, Mec- ab 1. T:;ntyunlnth District—Barry 2, Mec- Nab 8. Thirtieth District—Barry 4, McNab 5. Thirty-first District—Barry 5, McNab 6. Thirty-second District—McNab 8. Thirty-third District—Barry § McNab 1. Thirty-ninth District—Barry 6, McNab 1 Forty-second District—Barry 1, Me- Nab 5. Forty-third District—McNab 5. Forty-fourth District—Barry 2, McNab b Forty-fifth District—Barry 1, McNab 5. Total—Barry 3 and McNab 50. When the Thirtieth District was called the chairman of the delegation announced the vote to be 3 for Barry and 6 for Mec- Nab. One of the Barry delegates, in acknowledging that an_a been made to give McNab a large-sized “vindication,” demanded a roll call and the vote recorded was Barry 4, McNab 5. Senator Braunhart explained that only a little mistake had been made. When the Thirty-third District was re- ported Deputy = Sheriff Curtis an- nounced 9 votes for Barry. Max Popper objected. as the proxies, and he wanted to cast it for McNab. Curtis explained that he thought the unit rule prevailed. The ex- lanation seemed satisfactory, for noth- [he further was sald about the matter. When the result was announced the Me- Nab men gave three cheers and were an- swered by cheers for Barr: McNab then stepped to the front and said that while he greatly appreciated the honor conferred on him he was forced to decline the nomination. “Nothing would please me more than to work and fight for the people at Washington, gald he, “as I have in the past fought here to secure the overthrow of bossism, hile T say it myself. the organiza- e now have is to a great extent due to my labors. I have worked unceasingly for over one year and with the assistance of others succeeded in dethroning the bosses. Under these circumstances it would leave me open to the charge of in- delicacy.

As an honbrable man, however, I could not N. he held one of record on the San Pedro harbor questis and stated that he deserved lu:nno:\ln-' nation. A The delegates evidently with ceeded to renominate Mr. Barlow by ac- clamation. There was a call for Mr. Barlow to come forward, but the delegates decided they would hear from him later and proceeded with the business of the convention. Brad Sargent of Monterey and John T. Gaffey of Los Angeles were named State Central Committeemen at large for the district. A Congressional committee to consist of one member from_ each county was or- dered appointed. It will be named later by Chairman Rngers. After vesting all the powers of the convention in the Con- !grfisslonnl committee an adjournment was aken. MARIN STALWARTS y Resolutions Indorsing the Adminis- tration and Favoring an Ade- quate Army and Navy. SAN RAFAEL, Aug. 15.—The county convention for the purpose of electing delegates to the Republican State and Congressional conventions at Sacramento was held here to-day. The Superior Court room was crowded with interested sight- seers and eighty-three delegates wers present. E. W. McCarthy of San Rafael was elected chairman, J. H. Pryor of Sausa- lito and E. S. Bostwick of Mill Valley secretarfes. The flve delegates selected by the different Supervisorial districts were confirmed by the convention as fol- lows: First District, R. 8. Alexander,San Rafael; Second District, H. A. Gorley, S8an Rafael; Third District, J. H. Pryor, Sau- salito; Fourth District, A. Hubbell, To~ males: Fifth District, Thomas Est Nicasio.

H, Hernan to elect them by acclamation. ‘“Both of these entlemen,” said he, “have been working n the city for over a week, instructing the county delegates on the matter of boss rule and corruption in San Francis- co. To them is due a share of the credit of our victory.” On_motion of R. P. Doolan, Barbour and Hernan were elected by acclamation. The convention adjourned after author- izing the chairman to appoint the neces- sary committees under the purity of elec- tion laws. SIXTH CONGRESSIONAL. The Sixth Congressional District was programmed, and everything the conven- tion did after it assembled went through in a perfunctory sort of a way for the programme. Charles A. Barlow, the Populist incum- bent from San Luis Obispo, was renomi- nated without opposition. Dr. R. W. Hill of Los Angeles called the convention to order. Earl Rogers of Los Angeles was named chairman and John Harrington of Santa Barbara secretary. Bryce Grimes, a silver-haired old gen- tleman from Ventura, placed Mr. Barlow in nomination. He said that he had been a Democrat for forty-six years, and that he thought that his long years of service entitled him to state that he never ad- vocated anything he did for the benefit of the party. Under these circumstances he presented the name of Mr. Barlow. Senator Stephen M. White, in seconding the nomination, s: that two years ago he had opposed Barlow's selection as the Democratic nominee. But in two years, the Senator said, he had changed his opinion of Mr. Barlow. He had found him to be an able Congressman—a hard-work- ing representative, and always voting cont sistently with the Democrats in the lower house of Congress. Senator White referred to Mr. Barlow’s hich he believes sincerely, | McNab said that his district was ontl-‘ Committee and that he thought that it| not think was | | F. M.

San Diego Cotinty cast its solld vote for the McNabe Phelan delegation, but when the roll was called on the nominees for Assoclate Justice of the Supreme Court, Judge Hughes received only a scattering vote | from San Francisco. This was a surprise | to the San Diego delegates, and it was something they had not looked for. Later they learned that Gavin McNab, Mayor Phelan and Andy Lawrence had | determined to force the nomination of | Judge Coffey against that gentleman’s ex- pressed desire. Upon learning of this, the | triends of Judge Hughes decided to with- draw him and throw thelr support to Judge Conley. This they did and thereby his nomnation was secured. The San | Diego delegates will not forget the double | dealing of Mr. Fay, and they claim they will camp. on the trall of the political purists from San Francisco until they have an opportunity to even up the score.
