The opportunity for the aged miner to show his colors and to keep his promise fo be above the interferencg of corpora- h'agents came this afternoon when f appointed the committee on plat- forni. . Every possible effort was made to ure. the selection of Grove L.

Four years ago Johnson sought and obtained the same position, -and, it is said, he was so sure of recelving the position again that he iadé.a draft of a platform that would violate ‘none of the pretensions of the railroad. The ambitious lawyer, however, had Neff with whom to deal. Neff not only refused to make Johnson the chalrman of the commu..ee, but he positively de- clified to place the Sacramento lawyer on the committee at all.

F. MORSE. Impressive Ce}em;fi;; Over the Re- mains of the Famous Surgeon. The funeral of John F. Morse, the emli- nent surgeon who died Sunday morning, took place yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock in Masonic Temple, Post and Montgomery streets. The services were according to the Masonic ritual under the auspices of Excelsior Lodge, of which Dr. Morse was a member, and they were of a most impressive character. The hall was far too small to accommodate the large number of friends present, among whom were many of San Francisco’s most prominent citizens. The medical frater- nity was numerously represented, there being large delegations from the State and county medical associations, and the American Medical Soclety. The San Francisco employes of the State Board of Health, of which Dr. Morse was chair- man, attended In a body. There was a profusion of floral tributes, many of them being of artistic and unique design—broken columns, broken wheels, pillows, anchors, crosses, wreaths —indicative of life's end and rest and hog‘]e These embiems were arranged on either side of the master’s chair in the east. Judge Carroll Cook, master of Excelsior Lodge, conducted the services, which were opened with the playing of Chopin's “Funeral March” by S. D. Mayer, organ- ist. A double quartet, consisting of Ben Clark and Alfred Wilkle, first tenors; J. lvie and S. D. May&r, second tenors; A. LR Ogi J. Larsen and Fleming, first J. R. Jones and J. O.

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 23.—The coming of The Call had been eagerly awaited this delegates out of bed. morning, and as the paper was on the 'stre_ets by 7:30 o'clock it was early enough for the first No other San Francisco paper was here at that hour, and when the rest appeared they were found to lack the complete and accurate accounts of convention preliminaries. Hence The Call was much sought after, and its predictions, founded upon the array of facts it set forth, were accepted as reliable. There was a special train to bring the immense edition. distance at the rate of sixty miles an hour. As the day progressed this judgment was proved correct. It thundered along much of the There were in charge of it the crew reckoned the best in the service of the Southern Pacific, and every man took pride in making a record. As the train whirled by the intérvening stations people knew at once what was happening. They knew that The Call was simply carrying out its promise to be at the capital ahead of all rivals. After the papers had been distributed delegates expressed delight at the full and unbiased statements of the political situation, and many were the congratulations tendered. It cannot be said that The Call's triumph as to time or news matter excited surprise. D The people have become so accustomed to see it outdistance rivals that the surprise would result from any failure on its part to do so. o THE CALL’S SPECIAL IS FIRST AT STOCKTON STOCKTON, Aug. 23.—The Call, contalning a complete and an accurate report of the Republican State convention at Sacramento and of the latest developments In the Dun- ning case, In both of which the people of this city are just L and a half before the other San Francisco morning papers. strated by the avidity with which the people bought the paper.

The enterprise of The Call was commended by its by the State Central Committee where convenient. c Great interest was taken In the matter, both sides being represented by counsel. A. J. Bruner appeared on behalf of Kid- | der, while Brown was represented by Judge Walling. The dispute grew out of a mistake made by the County Central Committee in call- ing a primary for the election of delega- tions to the State Convention. Nevada | County 1s entitled while by an oversight only ten were elected. The Central Committee then met in caucus and appointed Brown as dele- | gate at large. Rlidder had a primary on is own acount, printing the names of the other ten delegages previously elected on the ballot. After listening to arguments for fully half an hour the commitee de- cided not to reco%nlze either of the con- testants. It was decided, however, to al- low the other ten delegates to cast eleven votes for the county. The committee then took up the con- test made by the Good overnment League agalnst the seating of the Jim Rea delegation from Santa Clara Coun- { ty. Samuel G. Tompkins acted as spokes- man _for the contestants. He went into the details of the primary, and by means of affidavits sworn to by prominent citi- zens of Santa Clara, showed that the Rea or ‘‘gang’ ticket was elected by means of ballot-box stuffing. In some cases representative voters who were | known to be members of the Good Gov- ernment League were refused the privi- lege of voting because they would not make oath that they would support the “gang’ ticket. W. A. Bowden replied on behalf of the Rea delegation. He said that there was no proof that the alleged frauds in any manner effected the result of the elec- tlon.

Chairman Hocking said that while he was satisfled that fraud had been com- mitted in Santa Clara County, he did not think the evidence sufficient to warrant the unseating of the Rea delegation. He was of the oninion that the Rea delegates should be sea“ed, but that a report should be forwarded to the State convention con- demning the political methods of Santa Clara. . George Ross of Redwood City spoke in favor of a recommendation being made to the convention that rules be passed providing for the regulation of the rimaries. He also favored seating the ea delegates. Ross sald in conclusion that he belleved a resolution should adopted by the committee calling the at- tention of the convention to the crooked political methods employed at the pri- maries. The motion was voted down, and Ross will prerare a’resolution and pre- sent it himself, requesting that some means be devised for preventing frauds at primaries. On motion of Colonel T. V. Eddy a de- cision was reported to seat the Rae delegates. WILL FIGHT TO THE BITTER END EFFORTS TO PREVENT SEATING OF REA DELEGATES.
