There is a possibil- ity that a decision may not be reached | Monday and not until witnesses havei been heard touching the points in- | volved. | Thomas V. Cator, representing the | middle-of-the-road Populists, put in| the time of the morning session, held | in the Supreme Court chamber, in reading the petitions of his faction. He | laid stress on the contention that there was no objection or protest in the Dem- | ocratic State Convention against fu- | sion, or in the Silver Republican con vention, and that by reason thereof the | fusion candidates will, in any event, have a place and designation or desig- | nations upon the official ballot, even | though they be not allowed the right to ! use the name “People’'s party,” and | without the circulation of a petition; | whereas, if the candidates of the straight out Populist convention were denied the right to file their certificates | of nomination under the name ‘Peo- | ple's party,” they could have no place | upon the official ballot, without the | great expense of a petition nor in any | event unless they misrepresented them- | selves by taking a name which would, | under the circumstances, be false, as they were not and never had been any- thing but members of the People's | party. 2 This afternoon, when arguments were | entered upon, Cator said the subject | involved legal consideration principal- | ly, and that the Secretary of State would have to look at the case simply in its legal phases. He held that the | law clearly stated that a convention | was an organized assemblage of dele- gates, representing a palitical party | vhich at a general election had polled | not less than 3 per cent of the votes | cast in the State. Now the question was for the Secretary of State to de- | termine, which party held the conven- | tion as contemplated by law. Was it | the straight out Populists or. the fu-| sionists? The Populists called the convention and it has been decided that the regularly constituted State com- | | mittee of a party was the trustee or| | agent of that party, bound to keep | within and never to exceed the powers | given it by the party creating it. When | this agent, Cator continued, ke&t‘ within the scope of legal authority its | | actions were binding. Union with | other parties having a uniform plat- form was permitted by the call, but not unfon with any party whose platform | disagreed with, or contained planks nnt‘ included in, the platform of the origi- | nal Populist party organization. That | convention only is legal which at its conclusion may have its labors certi- fled by the chairman and secretary. . E. 8. Van Meter of Fresno nnd Judge |'BE. A, Bridgford of San Francisco ap- | peared on behalf of the fusionist wing of the Populist party. Their contention was that the certificate of nomination | of James G. Maguire as the Populist candidate for Governor and various other candidates mentioned in the cer- tificate of nomination by a majority of the delegates of the regularly organized | convention, called together under the | call of the State Central Committee of | the Populist party of the State, and that the certificate signed by D. T. Fowler as chairman and Cariton H. Johnson as secretary was a certificate of nomination made by a pretended convention of delegates who constitut- ed a minority of the delegates to the regularly called State convention of the | Populists, and that T. W. H. Shanahan and the other candidates mentioned in the certificate were not candidates of | the regularly called convention of ,the | Populist party of the State of Califor- nia, but were attempted to be nomin- ated by a minority of delegates to the regularly called State ) convention, which minority withdrew from the reg- ularly called State convention after having acted with the majority thereof as set forth. Interested witnesses to the proceed- ings were Seth Mann, chairman of the Democratic Central Committee, and J. C. Spelling of San Francisco. Spelling and James H. Barry are contestants for designation as Democratic candi- dates for Congress of the Fourth Dis- trict in San Francisco. Barry will be up with his forces on Monday, when the case will be heard OALAVERAS DEMOCRATS. Resolve, Reaffirm and Nominate a County Ticket. SAN ANDREAS, Sept. 10.—The Demo- | crats of Calaveras County assembled in | convention at this place to-day. An or- ganization was effected by the election | of Frank Brown of Milton as chairman and L. F. Jones and 8. L. Davidson as secretaries.

Maguire's candidacy for Governor was heartily in- dersed, and the efforts of Congressman de Vries in Confress were applauded. The nomination of 8. B.

Fitzgerald evidently remembered the fusion that did not fuse In Alameda County two years ago, for he sald: ‘It might be construed that way, but lomiof them want mighty little to absolve them from voting the ticket, anyway.” It was ordered that a roll of member- ship In the respective wards of the city shall be opened daily for at least five days before the 19th of September. The election of delegates in * s{kele and townships of Alameda County will b | either by club roll or primary, as the com- { mitteemen from the respective townships | may decide, and the election, if by pri- mary, shall be held between the hours of 3'p. m. and 8 ‘ m. on the 20th day of September. All elections are to be under the supervision of the committeemen of the respective wards and townships, who have power to appoint all necessary offi- cers of election. Owing to the many conmc(lngsun“ of the Senatorial, Assembly and Supervis- orial districts a discussion followed as to the distribution of delegates to the va- rious district conventions. R. M, Fitz- erald stated that their good friends the iepub!lcam had failed to find a remedy for the conflict, and it was decided to let each committeeman adjust matters for the best in each case. C. M. Burke, a committeeman from the Second Ward, reported that there was some friction in his district. He said he had always be- haved himself as a gentleman and rather than not have things run smoothly he ;vmxlfl resign. Burke spoke with some e ling.

The question of fusion was not brought before the committee, but Mr. Laymance said that he had some ideas on the sub- Ject that he would divulge lat Alameda Silver Republicans. OAKLAND, Sept. 10.— The Silver Re- publican county cen committee met at its headquarters, Ninth street, to- night and arranged for postal primary to elect delegates to the county convention and also appointed conferemce and cam- paign commlittees. FUSION DEFEATED IN MONTEREY COUNTY Democrats Adopt a Middle-of-the- Road Policy by a Vote in Convention. SALINAS, Sept. 10.—The Democratic county convention assembled at the opera house to-day. During all of last night and this morning caucuses of Supervis- orial district delegates were held and plans arranged. Reports that attempts would be made to break the prearranged slate became verified when the conven- tion was called to order by B. V. Sar- gent, chairman of the county committee. A test vote was taken on temporary chairman, which resulted in the defeat of the courthouse ring. ‘When the committee on permanent offi- cers and order of business reported they wanted a committee of five ap- golntad to meet a like committee of opulists on September 15 and fuse with them on Assembleyman, claim- ing this would be acceptable, and the Populists would swallow the balance of the straight Democratic ticket. Immedi- ately a dozen delegates had the floor, claiming recognition. Hot words fol- lowed, various members speaking against the project in plain language. Cheers greeted every word spoken against fu- sion, and when it was announced that non-fusion had carried by a vote there was great cheering, mingled with hoots. During the speaking it was confessed that no cmdfdale had a chance of be- ing elected unless fusion was effected. he nominations of officers then pro- ceeded. Great excitement prevailed while the ballots were being taken for Sheriff, Assessor, Treasurer and Coroner, The ‘‘push” seemed to have its forces well in hand and despite the fact that it had been defeated overwhelmingly on the question of fusion it carried out its programme with only one exception—that of nominee for County Treasurer, the ring candidate bging defeated. The candidates nominat- ed are: School Superintendent—Mrs. J. B. Chope of ng City, Sherifft—H. R. Farley, Gonzales. County Clerk—J. D. Kalar, incumbent. Assessor—W. A. Anderson, incumbent. uditor—W.

New Combinations That Dispel All Possibility of the Formation of a Successful Slate. \ Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Sept. 10. Just on the eve of a primary it is some- what significant that there should be a split in the Army and Navy Republican League. This body of men, which has 911 names on its roster, represents one of the strongest political elements in this clty and has done good service in the Re- publican corps since it was organized. Last night a new camp was established under the leadership of H. D. Talcott in his capacity as senlor vice commander- fn-chief of the State league. as Dewey Camp No. 19. Among the charter members are J. C. Darnell, Phil It is known | M. Walsh, R. A. Johnson, F. M. Farwell, A. W, Reinold, who is colonel of Dewey Camp, W. E, Wallace, who is the major, and about twenty others. The parent league at a lively meeting declared that the new camp is a bold at- tempt on the part of General Talcott to steal the influence of the older body in the State executive committee. Some of the older members declare that the new camp is simply a joke, organized to help Talcott in his fight for city Justice of the Peace. San Leandro is making great prepara- tions to entertain the Republican county convention on the 15th inst. The local Republican club has appointed the fol- lowing committees to handle the busi- ness. Finance committee—B. C. Hawes, John Driver, Antone Rogers, J. S. Witherell, J. W. Haas. Hall and decoration committee—John Holmgren, J. W. Haas, J. 8. Witherell, I. W. Mctoy, Joaquin Curha.

Mriller ‘and W. F. of Alameda County have fared very well at the hands | of the convention held at Sacramento some weeks ago. This county has on the State ticket the following: Douglas P. Fowler of Alameda, Lieutenant Governor; Green Majors of Alameda, Attorney Gen- eral; C. 8. Preble of Berkeley, Surveyor General; A. A. Bretz, Rallroad sioner; Robert Stewart, Congress; W. Batten of Alameda, State Board of Equal- ization. If anything more were needed to show the fallacy of the statement that a Re- ublican slate is made up for this county, Commis- | e R | an old-time resident of Auberry Valle: | Ward for Tax Collector in OWI! to Barber of Alameda, and also W. a‘“fi» low for Sheriff in opposition to Robers of Alameda. A. K. Grimm is also put up for Auditor to prevent him the Recordership possibly from C, H. Spear. As this plan provides for the total exclu- sion of Alameda from representation on the county ticket, with the exception of E. K. Taylor for State Senator, it will certainly force the island into a com- bination with some of the townships which cannot fall to bore holes through any slate that may be held up before the Phe latest ed t bet e latest report: men ween candidates is that betv‘vg;eAsseuor Dal- ton of the First Ward and Judge Allen of the Third. Four years ago this com- bination would have been considered one of the rarest of possibilities. Now it is sald that Judge Allen is the choice of a large element of voters whom he could lead to the general strength of the Re- publican ticket. As Frank Jordan and Harry Melvin are confident of winning out in the Seventh Ward, the nomination for District Attorney which Mr. Melvin seeks will of necessity become a con- ventlon fight unless a new deal be made. At present it looks as though the con- vention will be made up of cilable factions. tne resuit of which will be to upset all combinations made before the delegates assemble. P. J. Keller, the Mayor of Pledmont, is the latest candidate to announce that he will Tun independently for Sheriff. Among the likely candidates bel: mfli tioned by the fusionists is Ch:fin Lloyd, ex-Chlef of Police. Percy B. Preble of Oakland, who was nominated by the People’s for the office of State Printer, has m- resig- nation with County Clerk Jordan. FRESNO EXPOSITOR NO LONGER DEMOCRATIC Unterrified of the Raisin Center Dis- gruntled Over the Loss of the Newspaper. FRESNO, Sept. 10.—The Weekly Ex- ositor, which appeared this morning for he first time since the suspension of the daily, was issued as a Republican per. The local Democrats were very indignant at the change of front of their forme: organ, and this evening there was talk o burning the paper in efigy. It contain: editorial notices of the Republican ean- didates and urged the election of the very men whom a few weeks ago it was con- demning in the severest terms. For twenty-four years the Expositor was the leading Democratic organ of this part of the valley, and its change of polities was | surprise to every one. Tulare Populists Indorse Pace. TULARE, Sept. 10.—The Populists of the Thirty-seventh Senatorial Distris held their convention , here to-day an nominated Dr. H, L. Pace of Tulare. Pace is the Democratic nominee. The fusion spirit was not unanimous, the vote stand- | ing 9 to 7 in favor of Pace.
