St. Sure of Alameda thought it | well to appoint at once a fusion or confer- | ence committee of five, including th chair. His motion was seconded by R. M. Fitzgerald. James Henneberry thought it more to the point to ascertain first If the convention desired to fuse. Accord- Ingly the motion was amended to cover Henneberry’s suggestion so that the con- vention would have the privilege of debat- ing the proposition. The chairman declared he had no inter- est In ¢he matter. He thou~ht it due the Populists at least that they should be met by a committee from the Democratic convention. The ° te was taken on the amendment as to whether or not a com- | mittee should be named to confer with | the Populists. The amendment was with- | drawn and the original question was put | and carried. The chair named as the R. H. Fitzgerald | (chairman), John Ch; ie, John Geary, F. W. Vogt and M. F.

The wise, | economic and able administration of Go ernor Budd, “who has been true to his | promises, faithful to the people, result- | ing in an unexampled saving to the over- | burdened taxpayers of this State,” was also commended. | Other planks in the platform were: We demand the enactment of such a primary law as will make bossism impossible and pr vent the disgraceful practices which characte ized the primaries recently held in this county by the Republican party, and to this end we | piedge our nominees to the Legislature. | We pledge our nominees for the Legislature | to vote for the approval of all charters adopted | ‘We are heartily in favor of all competing railway lines and we pledge our nominees to use every honorable endeavor to secure for | Oakland the terminal of the Valley road and all apeting lines. | axation should be limited to the needs of | overnment, _economically administered, and | Wwhile we believe that the general welfare of | the people should be amply protected, we pledge our nominees to close economy and consclen- tious discharge of duty In the administration of public office and the expenditures of public moneys.

The platform also declared In favor of abolishing one of the Justice's courts of the city of Oakland. Owing to the numerous delays asked for by the fusion committees the whole of the afternoon was passed by and not until evening was any business transacted. It was not until the fusion committee re- turned and the appearance later of the Populist fusion committee that a half- hearted assent was given to fusion, and the business of making nominations and indorsements was proceeded with. CORBETT SAYS HE WILL CALL THE FIGHT OFF ASBURY PARK, N. ., Sept. 24.—*3fm” Corbett has come to the conclusion that “Kid” McCoy does not want to fight, and to-night the former champion said: “McCoy must accept my proposition to fight before some other ciub and sign ar- ticles to that effect before the middle. of next week, or I will call the fight off and take on Jefiries or Sharkey right awav, and 1 will aiso Issue a challenge to fight any man in the world for the biggest purse offered by any club in the United tates. “McCoy is only out for advertising and does ot intend to fight. He knows very well that the fight cannot take place in Buffalo, and is afraid to sign articles to ull off the scrap in any other town. ow, he must come to time, or I'll throw him over and take on Sharkey or Jef- fries, either of whom are better fighters than McCoy.” ERUPTION OF VESUVIUS INCREASES IN VIOLENCE Fears That It Will Soon Assume the Proportions of That 1872.

Others took issue and finaliy the sentiment of the convention was called for in a test vote. The result was that instructions were issued to the com- mittee to deétermine just what was to be gfie{eg rby all !m]ijj' and todl}‘wnx report ack before an e toward fusion was offered at all. Kp k! G. W. Pratt, J. M. Moore and Daniel Stuart were then appointed as a commit- tee to wait upon the Democrats and Sii- ver Republicans and inform them of the fact that a conference committee had been selected and placed in readiness to act. While the convention was awaiting reports of the committee N. J. Manson read the report of the platform commit- tee. The platform indorses the platform d cand{dates of the party convened at ramento from July 12 to July 14, 1898; the principle of direct legislation is fa- vored; the soldiers and sailors are con- gratulated for their heroism; the consti- tutional amendment No. 2 is commended for thoughtful consideration; the candi- dates for Supervisor are pledged to support the past Dalton assessments on franchises, and the Board of Supervisors is censured for cutting down said assess- ments, and the “hypocrisy of the corpo- rations assembled In convention at ban Leandro” s denounced; a demand Iis made for the repeal of the politax, and Legislative . candidates are accordingly pledged; good roads are demanded; i.e improvement of Oakland harbor is re- snrded as of utmost importance to the in- ustrial and commercial interests of' tne county, and the party pledges the nomi- nees If elected to employ every effort with Congressmen and Senators and the na- tional Government to bring about such harbor improvement. Then followed a debate on wie fact of Daiton’s name being mentioned. Some wanted stricken out all that referred to Dalton’s assessments. To this Daniel In- man objected. . “‘Gentlemen,” said he, “I am a Dalton man. He is the only Assessor that we have ever had that has assessed tne cor- porations fairly. if 1 had my way I would make Mr, Dalton the nominee of this convention.” R. B. Myers spoke In the same strain. Gregory_said that the Republicans had abused Judge Maguire. He was in favor of returning good for evil by leaving Mr. Dalton’s name in the party platform. The motion to strike out Dalton’s name was finally lost by a.most.a unanimous vote. The convention reassembled this even- ing and the offices allowed ‘to the by the fusion arrangement with the ocrate were filled as follows: Publie tor, George W.

SANTA ANA"HEARS JUDGE MAGUIRE Fusion Campaign Opens in Orange. ATTACK ON GAGE REPEATED GENERAL BARNES COMES IN FOR ATTENTION. Poor of the State Informed That Their Ills Will Vanish if the “Little Giant” Is Elected Governor. Special Dispatch to The Call. SANTA ANA, Sept. 24.—The fusion campaign opened in Orange County to- day with a day meeting in the Grand Opera House, addressed by James G. Maguire. It was called to order by W. M, McFadden, chairman of the Demo- cratic County Central Committee, who intreduced Dr. M. A. Menges, a Silver Republican and the fusion nominee for the Assembly, as chairman or the meet- ing. Mr. Maguire was greeted with warm applause when he was intrcduced. The fusion candidate announced that he was deeply pleased to he met by such a large audience at so unusual an hour. Mr. Maguire asserted that the present campaign was a contest not for party, but for principie. The three reform par- ties of California had united to wage battle against the party of monopolies and special privileges and the fight in- volved the banishment of all monopoly fronr this State. The three parties stood for every principle represented under the leadership of William J. Bryan and had made whatever sacrifices were nec- essary to effect a perfect union of strength. The speaker paid a high tribute to the character of the State fusion ticket, stating’ that all its nominees were men of honesty and capacity. He gave spe- cial attention to Dr. C. H. Castle, fu- sion candidate for Congress in this dis- trict, and Toland of Ventura, candidate for the Board of Equalization. Mr. Maguire had considerable to say about the railroad question, referring to it at various staco- of his address, as though ~ th to leave it. In fact, if the railroad, Henry T. Gage and Gen- eral Barnes were eliminated from his remarks there would be little left. His talk was directed to the poor, whom he commiserated on being compelled to pay 80 per cent of the war tax and to whom he held out glittering allure- ments if the monopolies were only an- nihilated. His speech was listened to with cloge attention and generously applauded. E. L. Hutchingon, fusion candidate for Lieutenant Governor, also spoke briefly, confining his e orts to a pyro- technic description of a man who prov- ed to be Mr. Maguire. s e .

PROFITABLE TALKS : ON FARM TOPICS State University Professors Discourse Scientifically at the Marysville Institute. MARYSVILLE, Sept. 24.—There was a decided increase in the attendance at Institute to-day. Pro- fessor D. T. Fowler and Professor E. ‘W. Hilgard were the principal speak- ers. The former took up the subject “Fodder for Winter Use, and the Sort | From Which the Best Results Are Ob- tained.” He pointed out at length the advantages alfalfa has over wheat and oat hay, laying stress on the elements in the alfalfa best fitted for work stock. He asserted that the California farm- er must awaken to the necessity of di- versified farming. Alfafa, he said, was the key to the problem. It was a cheap food, to be had in abundance, and its great value remained to be realized by the farmer. It was the element that built un muscle in stock and it was due largely to that fact that farm-raised beef had a greater demand in the mar- ket than range beef. Corn-fed with alfafa was a desirable combination. Many farmers planted corn for fodder, and thought that to cultivate it was not necessary. This was a mistike, he de- clared. The pesults derived from culti- vating were highlv satisfactory. Of the silo Professor Fowler is a strong advocate. The silo, filled with succulent corn and alfalfa, always in- sured fodder t -t the stock appreciated. This afternoon Professor Hilgard lectured on irrigation, giving many new points of benefit. There was ®. big turnout of city folk to-night when Highway Commissioner Price lectured on “Practical Road Building,” illustrating his remarks with stereopticon views. He was fol- lowed by C.m. issioner Ashe on “Good Roads.” After final adjournment the young folks indulged in a social danc — ADVERTISEMFPNTS. <" . co, DOCTOR SWEANY H E RESTORES LOST VIGOR ANDY vitality to weak men.
