San Francisco has 186 votes in the convention, and the several candidates for office are just now endeavoring to secure pledges from the individual members of the dele- gation. It has not as yet been decided whether the delegation will vote as & | unit on the floor of the convention. | The fight for first place on the State ticket remains unchanged, and in all prob- ability the presnt conditions will con- tinue untll the balloting begins. The e forces are confident, and Pardee's esmen declare that théir fight is very bright and that they are satisfied with the outlook. Delegates and visitors from the southern part of the State say that all the counties in that section are solld for Henry T. Gage, and that he will g0 mt Sacramento with over 200 pledged votes. Dr. Pardee’s workers are happy and cheerful. They declare with great sin- cerity that Gage's cinch on the south is | not a_lead pipe, and that the doctor has already won a number of delegates from the candidate from the sunland. The Pardeeites further allege that the fight is st openine. and that it will develop into attle for supregacy betwen the coun- delegates and' the Dan Burns ele- | ment, which th sert controls this city. | One of Pardee’s chief lieutenants said that the man who received | indorsement would be beaten | to death; that the country would not | stand for another Burns cand The Alamedans believe their cal position on the list of counties gives | them a distinct advantage. They think the outside delegates will follow them in the fight against San Franclsco and the south, should such a combination be_formed this week. 'So far_only two candidates for the po- sition_of Lieutenant Governor have ap- | peared. They are T. H. Selvage of Hum- | boldt and ex-Senator Frank McGowan of this city, formerly of Humboldt County. The Humboldt County delegation is sol- | id for Selvage, and will, it is said, trade with the head of the ticket if Selvage is guaranteed second place. The county has seventeen delegates, and will vote as a unit. Senator McGowan depends on G Spo! his record in the Legislature to secure the support of the convention. Two names dates are mentioned as candi- | for Secretary of State, County | rles F. Curry and Paul P. Aus- | n Jose.

So far as Rnown, neither has an advantage. In the Fifth District State Senator E. I. Wolfs is_after the nomination, but Congressman E. F. Loud desires to_return to Washington, and he will give Wolfe a hard fight. The Republican State Central Commit- tee headquarters, which will be located in the Golden Eagle Hotel, at Sacramento, will be open Monday morning. All the grellmfin&ry work for the convention has een done, the rollcall will be complete and printed in time for the Opemn% ses- sion Tuesday morning; there will be no delay in organizing and disposing of the work for which the delegates were elect- ed. The conVvention will he the largest in the history of the party. Unusual inter- est is manifested by Republicans from every section, and the number of callers at the headquarters in the Palace far ex- ceeds any previous campaign. Convention arrangements are all com- pleted. The committee in charge of the pavilion at Sacramento will see that every comfort is provided for the dele- gates. The decorations which were put up for the Democrats are to be changed, but the arrangement of the seats will not be disturbed. Frank D. Ryan of Sacra- mento has charge of the convention pre- \liminaries, and he reports everything in readiness for the delegates. Ryan will be the secretary of the convention, and John Stafford will be sergeant-at-arms. The hegira to the Capital City will be- in Sunday afternoon. Major McLaugh- in and Secretary Higgins, accompanied by several members of the State Central Committee, will go up on the evening train. The headquarters of the guber- natorial candidates at the Palace will also close Sunday and the rival camps will pull up stakes and depart for the battle- ground. ‘Congressman Loud spent several hours at the central committee headquarters yesterday.

Sheehan was a candidate for Secretary of State, which was an error; Mr. Shee- han desires the nomination for Clerk of the Supreme Court. Thomas V. Cator, sorehead Populist, went into the Pardee and Gage camps yesterday and announced that he is out to beat Maguire. He sald to Major Mc- Laughlin: *You Republicans put up a strong man and I am with you.” Thomas V. is a Middle-Roader. T. G. Daniells, editor of the Alameda Argus, came over to see how Pardee’s fight s looking. Mr. Danfells is out for Pardee and thinks he is the strongest candidate for the nomination and that he will be the choice of the convention. Justice McFarland of the Supreme Court consulted with the party leaders and visited the rival gubernatorial camps. Justice Van Fleet also called on the party managers.

Will Not Allow the Election Commis- sioners to Interfere in His Office Work. The clash between Registrar Biggy and the Board of Election Commissioners was the principal topic of conversation around the city buildings yesterday. A number of men who claim to have some political influence and who are out of employment called on various members of the board and sollcited jobs as canvassers to purge | the registration book: The fact that | Biggy had declared that he would not | have any appointees of the board to act| as purgers apparently had no effect in dampening the ardor of these office seck- 1s currently rumored that the ners would find_ temporary places for about fift The Commis- sioners themsely hat is, the ones ar- | rayed against Biggy did nothing to con- | DELEGATES MUST NOW EXPLAIN Trouble Ahead for the Programmers.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Aug. 19.—The last of the dele- gates to the Democratic State conven- tion have shaken the dust of Sacra- mento from their feet. Many of them left this morning, but a few remained as late as b5 o'clock this afternoon. Among these were James G. Maguire, the Democratic nominee for Governor, United States Senator Stephen M. ‘White, Willlam H. Alford and some who may be referred to as lesser lights of the late galaxy of Democratic siars. Almost the sole topic of conversation among the departing delegates 1S the circumstances connected with the fu- tile attempt of the Examiner, aided by Gavin McNab and Mayor Phelan, to force Judge James V. Coffey on the convention as the nominee for Asso- ciate Justice of the Supreme Court. In doing so the combination attempted to defeat Judge William M. Conley of Ma- dera by methods that were so disrep utable as to call forth the most severe dict the rumor. Instead, they helped ong.

SILVER MEN OF NEVADA. | All Eager for Office and a Hot Con- vention Is Promised. RENO, Nev., Aug. 19.—The Silver party convention of Nevada that meets on Sep- tember 9 at Reno promises to be a red hot gathering from start to finish. From | present Indications Newlands will have no opposition for Congr although there are several statesmen who think | they could fill his place. Governor Sad- ler is a candidate to succeed himself and his announced competitors are Lem Al- len of Churchill County and Evan Wil- llams of Ormsby County. While Allen is a good second, knowing ones believe that Sadler holds the top hand for th nomination. His entertainment of “Pugs Corbett and Fitzsimmons and the riff- raff that followed them here two yea ago will count against him at the polls in November, and it is said by many that if the Republicans nominate a good man Sadler will be easy to defeat. nator Stewart Is swinging round e, fixing up his fences and work- he expected a_bakers' dozen of ates to present themselves, but is breathing somewhat r sincé New- lands got out of his s Tt is thought by a good many knowing ones that A.

Silver primaries are to be held at Was- hoe and other western countles to-mor- row. There will be at least three sets of delegates run in this county. . BLOODSHED FEARED AT PANA. Operators Threaten to Import Col- ored Non-Union Miners. PANA, 11, Aug. 19.—Sheriff Coburn ar- rived from Taylorsville to-day and posted all over the city the criminal code regard- ing the assembling of miners, intimida- tion, etc. He also swore in a large force of extra deputy Sheriffs to guard the negro laborers, who will be brought here from the South on Sunday, it is said, and put to work at the Springside mine Mon- day. Many deputies have, however, re- fused to serve, and the Sheriff will likely have to go out of the city to secure enough force. In case of the importation of non-union miners, the city, it is said, will be flooded with miners from the Dan- Ville and Springfield districts, and the citizens fear that bloodshed and death can hardly be averted. The situation bears the most serious aspect of any in Pana mining history. e TURKEY PAYS ARREARS. Settlement of All Bills to ¥all Due in a Period of Five Years. CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 19. — The question of payment of the arrears of the indemnity by Turkey to Russia, amounting to £900,000, has been settled, and the Porte has handed to the Rus- Sian Embassador the bills that will fall due to & period extending over five years. —————— A Deserted Baby Boy. OAKLAND, Aug. 19.—A healthy ‘boy baby, about five days old, was left on the doorstep of the house of John Cushing, at Franklin = and Four- teenth streets, to-pight.

The part taken by the Los Angeles and San Francisco delegations in the disreputable proceeding is con- sidered particularly worthy of co.- emnation. The Los Angeles men, com- ed largely of rallroad politicians and e corporation dummies, came to the con- vention under an agreement to vote as| a unit on all propositions. The delega- tion was composed of eighty-one mem- | bers, it caucused elghty-one times. made eighty-one personal enemies and went home this morning with spoils consisting of one Populist nominee for Lieutenant Governor, one Silver Re- | publican nominee for Attorney General and one Populist nominee for Railroad Commissioner. _Considering the fact that these men had already been nomi- nated, as long ago as the middle of July, by the Pinto-Populist convention under the fusion agreement it seems hardly necessary to press the iron deeper into the souls of the unified del- egates from the southern metrop Jlis. If this was the sum of the misdoings | of the Los Angeles delegation its mem- bers would no doubt be comparatively happy. As it is, they are trying to find 1 means of explaining away a long list of broken promises and obligations dis- | regarded, to say nothing of their ac- tion in joining forces with the simon ‘pure reformers who do the bidding of the Examiner's political bureau. To be- | gin with, they entered into a solemn obligation to vote for Judge Hughes of San Diego for Associate Justice of | the Supreme Court, first, last and all the time. With this in mind they en- | tered into an agreement with Gavin | McNab, Mayor Phelan and the Ex- | aminer, the understanding being that the delegation would vote to seat the McNab delegation as agalnst the Har- ney delegation, providing the McNab delegation would vote for the nomina- tion of Judge Hughes. The Los An- geles delegation carried out their part | of the agreement, but the San Francis- co crowd, acting under orders from its | bosses, declined to have anything to do with Judge Hughes. 'The raflroad | | push from the south then held some | more caucuses and decided to throw | Hughes overboard and plump for Cof- | fey. This decision was not arrived at until almost every member of the del- egation had been buttonholed by the some of the members influ- | Examiner bosses and | more conscientious | enced by the insinuation that the rail- road was trying to secure the nomina- | tion for Judge Conley. It so happened, fortunately for the reputation of the convention, that the raw work of Mayor Phelan, McNab and the others made apparent the kind of job they were engaged in working and the result was that the country | delegation ‘tombined and secured the | nomination for Conley by an over- whelming majority. One incident that | is receiving a great deal of condem- | nation to-day was the action of Mayor Phelan in announcing, on the last roll call, the vote of the San Francisco del- | egation as being 153 for Coffey and 1 | for Conley. Eleven members of the | delegation jumped to their feet and announced that their votes were for Conley and not for Coffey. The inci- dent is looked upon as one of the most disgraceful acts of the whole disgrace- ful proceeding. Another circumstance that has created a great amount of unfavorable comment to-day was the attempt on the part of the Examiner to deceive the public in the matter of the nominee for member on the State Board of Equal- ization for the Third District. The Third District convention met here yes- terday and nominated Richard H. Bea- mer of Woodland by acclamation, con- trary to the wishes of the Examiner politigjans. This morning the paper publishes what purports to be a list of the nominees of the convention, and for the Third Equalization District gives the name of George Thresher of Butte as the nominee. Thresher was the fusion nominee for the position, but was repudiated by the district conven- tion. The Democrats of the district are indignant, and others from all parts of the State, among them being many who allowed themselves to be made tools of the Examiner politicians, de- clare that such a bare-faced attempt to deceive the public was uncalled for and unwise. On top of all this the paper has declared in flaring headlines that all of the men who were nominated contrary to the wishes of the Examiner secured their nominations by reason of the influence of the Southern Pacific Company. As it is true that the same men who nominated Maguire for Gov- ernor also nominated the others who are so obnoxious to the Examiner, then it must be also true that Maguire was nominated by reason of rallroad in- fluence. From what was to be seen and heard here to-day and during the closing hours of the convention, there is every good reason to believe that explanations will be the order of the day for some time to come. The few delegates who have nothing to explain will no doubt awalit with interest the news of the ar- rival home of the Los Angeles delega- tion laden with the spoils of its eighty- one caucuses.

TO BE HAWKED AND TRADED BIG JIM WILL SACRIFICE EVERYTHING FOR HIS MAN, Curry’s Opponent for Nomination for Secretary of State Has 33 Votes to Start With, Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Aug. 19.—Paul T. Austin, Rea’s candidate for Secretary of State, left this afternoon for Sacramento. Headquarters will be established in the Capital Hotel, and he will begin his fight for the place. Boss Rea, John and Andy Mackenzle and other follow- ers of the gang will go to Sacramento Monday morning. Everything will be sacrificed to land Austin, and the vote of the Banta Clara delegation will be hawked about from one gubernatorial candidate to “Jim” Rea says Austin must get the nomination for Secretary of State, and he imagines he is sacrific- ing himself in only asking for this one office. The Rea delegates to the State convention voted yesterday to work for Austin for the office. This will give him 33 votes to start with, and it is by trading these that Rea hopes to make a respectable showing for his man. Austin has been very successful in but outside of the gang is not very popular. It is doubtful whether he can carry Santa Clara County. At urity Savings Bank and a member of the Board of Superv Austin was also Mayor of the city at one time. He is a devout gang man and has al- ways done Rea’s bidding. Before he entered upon his political career Aus- tin was in the real estate business. In this he was a failure, as $30,000 worth of unsatisfled judgments in the Re. corder’s office will show. The contesting delegation from the Good Government League are especial- ly active now and will also go to Sac- ramento early in the week. The Silver Republicans of Santa Clara County have named the follow- ing delegates to the State convention of that party, to be held at Los An- geles August 27: ‘William_P.
