Sad he: Mr. President and gentlemen of this | joint convention, I hope in all serious- | ness that that motion will not prevail. We either are or we are not a delibe: ative assembly. Tf there are any ar- | guments to be presented fously to | this body, or to us individuals, they ghould be presented on the floor of this House and nowhere else; and if you are to cast your vote to-day on the im- portant question. of repre- sent the great State lifornia in | the Senate of the United States it ill becomes the dignity of this joint con- vention to say that you a not ready to listen to the arguments that are to| be presented in behalf of the different candidates. We all knew yesterday, or e of us who are members of the ate bodies, that it would not re- choice, no matter what argu- made on the floors of the and I submit that if argue y in behalf of rent candidates this is the place so. We are not here as the As- sembly and as the Senate, but we are here as the individual members of those two bodies, met under the revised stat- utes of the United States in joint con- vention to deliberate upon one of the greatest questions that will be pre- sented to us while we shall be at the on of either house, and I submit all candor and in all justice to the different men who have not been here | to make fights on the outside of this house, that those of us who feel con- re to iff strained to present their names for your consideration should have every | opportunity to do it and have a full | measure of time within which to prop- erly present those names NO LIMIT WANTED. Senator Davis was roundly applauded | and Meade of Los Angeles was moved | to say: “Mr. Speaker, I move as an | amendment to Senator I Stratton’s mo- tion that nominating speeches be lim- | | ited to five minutes, and that there be no seconding speeches. ‘Senator Strat- ton, do y sent to that amend- £2% lint. ot,” No, sir, I do n replied Stratton. would like to state, Mr. President, we might as well be plain about iis thing. The arguments to be pre- | ented here for didates for United | tes Senator will not be addressed to | Assemblymen or Senators, but to | . reporters, and they will have no ef- fect upon us at all; and the arguments may be made here or anywhere else, and 1 think it is time and we once to busin Simpson called for roll call, and upon it being completed the president pro tem. declared the motion lost and an- ij\]nC\'d that nominations were in or- er. Said Mr. White: “I move that those addr 5 on behalf of the candidates whose names have been presented by a useless waste of ght as well proceed at either house be limited to five minutes, and as to the addresses on behalf of names have not been pre- time be unlimited.” E son kicked again. id he: ‘I am opposed to that motion for this rea- son: I believe that a man ought not to be limited to any number of min- utes for the purp of making a nom nating speeech for his favorite date, no matter whether he pre the name yesterday or tc-day, either in separate session or joint sion, and I am opposed to it. 1 say that when a man presents the name of a candidate in this body for as high an office as is within the gift of the Legislature of | the State of California he ought to have | unlimited time to say. enough to get the people to stay here and listen to him, and 1 cppose the motion.” JOHNSON WANTS ADVICE. “I hope that the motion will be voted down,” said Grove L. Johnson, “or else be withdrawn. We are here now in joint convention. Technically speaking We are not supposed to knoew anything | that took place in the separate houses. We a meeting here in joint conven- tion, and when the time comes in the history of the commonwealth of Cali- | fornia that the Legislature of the State | 1s unwilling to listen to advice from its members, or to hear a speeech nominat- ing a worthy son of the State for the exalted position of United States Sen- ator, we had better quit meeting in joint convention. I hope that no limi- tation will be placed upon it. We will trust to the good sense of the men who desire to see their favorites elécted to limit their speeches to a time consist- ent with good taste and the pleasure of their auditors, and I hope that our friend Mr. White will withdraw his motion and let us proceed to business.” Belshaw of Contra Costa spoke too. He said: “I hope that motion will be withdrawn. We have already, I think, consumed more time in debating the Jength of nominating speeches than would have been consumed by the gen- tlemen who are to make the nominat- | ing speeches. If any other motions are put, I am sure that Senator Simpson will rise and deliver us a_ speech whether we want it or not, and I think we had better let him have his say on the floor nominating the man he wishes."” Finally a motion was made to lay the matter on the table. It was carried, and nomindtions were declared in order. SMITH NOMINATES GRANT. nator Smith of Kern then got up to lend fitting phrase to the nomination of U. Grant. His speech, in effect, was as follows: The people of California are most in- tensely interested in this subject. It is not a matter of our choice: It {s a master of performing a great judiclary trust. We are not here to exercise our individual likeés and dislikes, but to carry forward the underlying p!'incl{)l(:s of the American Government, the will of the people, and he who votes to-day for a candidate whom he thinks he has reason to know would not meet with popular endorse- ment were this matter referred to the body of the people, strikes a blow at the perpetuity of American institutions. The unusual importance of the selection at this time is, I think, fully impressed upon the minds of the members of both branches of this Legislature, California occuples a far greater and more im- portant position in the sisterhood of %lal@s this yvear than she ever has before. We are now the custodian of many na- tions and strange people, and California 18 ‘no longer on the western border of this great land of ours, but occupies a well nigh central position of the domaln that is sheltered and protected by the grand old stars and strip his' man ose name 1 present to you is a man who unquestionably ecan step into the Benate of the United Stdtes to-morrow ind occupy a more important position and come closer in touch with the affairs of the day and with the great men of the ation than any other man we have in Fa!llormn, and I believe that the name of U. 8. Grant is one which, if we were to refer it back to our constituents, would meet with a most hearty approval by em. “EDDIE” WOLFE SAYS BURNS. Senator Smith's last echo had scarce- b reached the gzallery before Senator l“Eddie" Wolfe of San Francisco came on the boards to offer up his first open declaration of forced allegiance to Dan Burns in placing that waning star in active operation for a second time. Senator Wolfe's nominating speech was as a definant contribution to legis- lative history as has ever been allowed to ring uninterrupted in the Assembly chamber. Though he said that he had no fear of returning to his constituents after his espousal of Burns and his crooked gang, he said it with one fear- ful eye on the press benches and in tones and accent that betrayed any- thing but peace of mind. As a forensic effort, however, Senator Wolfe's nominating speech was fully as bril- llant as any that have been turned loose in the Burns cause. He spoke as follows: I present for the consideration of the joint convention for the exalted position of United States Senator the name of a plain, dignified, honest man, a Republi- can in season and out of season; a man who has labored for the interests of the | party time and again, and who is recog- nized all over the State of California as one of the leaders of our great Republican party; a man who is kind, who is cul- tured by education and whose judgment is ripened by experience; a man of cour- age and of executive ability; a man who responded to the call his services were needed; one who is in touch with the Republicans of this State, | and whose friends are legion; one who ands by his friends first, last and all the time; a man whose word is his bond all over this great State. I submit the name of Colonel D. M. Burns for your fa- vorable consideration. SIMPSON FOR BULLA. Senator Simpson came into evidence again at this point. The far end of his peech indicated that he had nominated Bulla, but during his preliminary ramblings it looked as though he were going to launch a little boom of hi oW A synopsis of his effort follow: Two years ago I had the honor of plac- ing in nomination for the high office of United States Senator the Honorable George C. Perkins, a man whom we all love to-day, and who won the fight. Now I am going to place in nomination another man who is going to win his fight, in my judgment. The great commonwealth of the State of California is vitally interested to-day in our national legislation and in our national administration. We have great interests at stake. In Southern California we have our San Pedro harbor. We have to-day a Secretary of War that, it secems to me, has not been in accord with the sentiment of the Republican party of the State of California in the matter of our Southern California harbor. We are in favor of San Pedro harbor and Secretary Alger has been against us. We have a multiplicity and diversity of in- terests in the State of California that perhaps no other State in this Union has, and we want a man to represent us in the United States Senate who is broad gauged enough to grasp the situation that confronts us. We feel in Southern Cali- fornia that we are at this time entitled to the representative in the Senate of the H—H—E—E—E—H-0—H—E-§-5-E-8-0-0-0-E-B& We stood loyally by you | ears ago, and we ask | action, men of thought, men of brains | ored forefathers came to this virgin land | tion to the United States. in the north two 3 You to stand by us at this time; and I say to you, gentlemen, to-day that with Rob- ert N.

To-day occurred the joint session of the two houses. The honors of the occa- sfon fell mostly to the Assembly, for the Senate did most of the talking and, had nothing interfered, would have been talking yet. I think that in the space of two hours more balderdash never fell on the human ear. The session early de- veloped the fact that a lot of men wanted to talk. They sparred for the opportuni- ty and when they had sald it marvel de- veloped and grew that they had had the nerve to hope for the opportunity. A { simple modesty would have prompted | most of them to avoid it as a pestilence. | The Assembly hall was crowded. There was not a vacant seat and both on the | floor and in the gallery people were stand- | ing with a patience almost sublime, Many | ladies were present and perhaps to this | efrcumstance was due the exuberance of oratory, for certainly a masculine impulse to say “Rats!” must have been recog- | nized even by the 'spell-binders locoed by the fumes of their mental parts. Thers were fome necessary and rather dreary formalities and while these were In prog- | | | B-O-E- 880858 BB E-BB ress I noticed Sammy Braunhart, now | serving his last term in any elective posi- | tlon. Sammy looked impressive and im- portant, but remembering the isinglass story 1 managed to escape being hypno- 1. | tized. Senator Morehousa tried to shut off the | nominating speeches, raised a storm, and unhappily met defeat. Simpson arose, bubbling with enthusia | and averred that the time for making remarks was at hand. He was full of them himself.

Scott. ing voice he said: ‘We have come here to perform a sol- emn duty. I think we are at this time confron with a crisis which bids us pause and ask ourselves in all sincerity f, for. once in the California, the office should seek the man, and not the man seek the office. The peo- e of this great State are looking to ou to do your duty wupon this floor. Yeu were elected to represent constitu- encies; yvou are not here to be subjected to any Intimidation. Théy send you the In a ring- | word to let nothing dictate vour vote ex- cept the brain that is in your head. You know that the administration of President McKinley and the administra- tion of the war were issues in this cam- paign, and nothing that you can do or say in behalf of any favored candidate can wipe that proposition out from the minds | of the people of the State of California. (Applause.) 1Ihe question that was submitted to the American electorate on this P > and In every other State that cast it vote for Governor in this campaign was whether or not McKinley was right in all that he had dorfe in the conduct of the war, and whether or not he was right in | all that he intimated to us so far as the results of the war were concerned; and the vote of California sent the message back_with 20,000 majority for the head of | the Republican ticket—sent the message | back, re-echoing, to W: ington tr McKinley stood for Americ s he stood against foreign insol and oppression, as long as he held honor of this country high, so that vultures of trade could not mar the the it, he was entitled to the unswerving loyalty and undying allegiance of every Califor- nian on this coast. (Applause.) Now, when you stop to think of the names that have’ been made illustrious during the war, the achievements that have been made by Dewey and the fleet at Santiago, I ask you who it is that built the machines and gave them power to make the name for the State of Cali- fornia. (Applause.) Have you forgotten the trip of that monument of steel and of American genlus that covered herself and California with glory? And who, all through this campaign, has been in the minds of the people of the State of Cali- fornia, as a man who began at the bot- tom of the ladder and built himself up until to-day, and who stands in the eyes of the world one of the most prominent men on the Pacific Coast? Starting with the little iron works.of old Peter Dona- hue in South San Francisco, with a hand- ful of men, by his own genius, working under the guidance of his own brain, un- aided by any influence outside of him- self, he has bullt up there an industry which to-day stands foremost in the eéyes of the world and at this moment has upon {ts payroll three thousand laborers in the city and- county of San Francisco. You cannot point to a name in the State | of California that will so dignify labor and all that it represents as that of Irv- ing M. Scott. If we are to have a man of action; if we are to have a man of achievement, then I submit to this Senate | of and this Assembly the name a.man who has proven himself a world- beater and has done more to put Calffor- nia and the laborer of California in the forefront of the land than any other man in the State of California. Let us cast our vote for a representative of the State of California—Irving M. Scott. GILLETTE NOMINATES KNIGHT. Senator Gillette of Humboldt, in plac- ing the name of George A. Knight in nomination, said: At this time questions of great moment must be met and settled; questions of in- ternational importance will confront us, and it is the duty of every State in the United States to see that representatives are sent there who are capable, who have the. ability, who have the learning and the brain_ to settle these questions so that our State and our_country will not suffer by thelr work.” We need men of history of the State of | fhls, and a learned in rnational law. We snator e voice can be heard Is of Congress and good results to the issues of this State. the Hon. George A. Knight. When a vote is taken to-day ‘whenever it may be—I would like to you gentlemen remember the name of George A. Knight, and remember the gallant service that he has rendered his party and his State. MOREHOUSE PRAISES BARNES. Senator Morehouse paid high tribute to General W. H. L. Barnes in a speech placing that candidate in nomination. He said: Back In Jewish history we are told there was efected a vast temple without the sound of a hammer or saw; but When they came finally to complete the magnificent structure which has found remembrance in the hearts of so many nati many Christlan people it was discovered that it was necessary in the matter of masonry that there should be erected a vast arch; but how to complete the arch as the question among all the workmen. Though they were called together at the high hour of noon, they were unable to determine how it was to be done, and finally they discovered that, lying out in the grounds where they were doing this work was one great piece of magnificent granite of a peculiar shape, and they had been wondering all the time what was to he done with this particular stone, and it was not until then discovered that before the great building could be erected this block of granite should be brought, con- stituting the center stone of the great arch of Solomon’s Temple. Arising here, 1 want to present to vou the one great Republican block of marble, as pure in his patriotism, as true in his work, as noble and great as any man who has ever sat in the halls of the United States Senate, one man who has been the key- stone of the Republican arch in the State of California for more than thirty years. There has not been one town, not one city, not one village, not one hamlet where | the voice and eloquence of the Hon. W. H. L. Barnes has not thrilled thousands. I say to you, you may talk about action— we need it; you may talk about mechani- cal skill and ability—we need it; but we need now in the history of our Govern- ment a man who can stand where Wash- ington stood, who can stand where Clay stood, who can stand where Webster stood, and, aye, as he stands there build- ing sentences that every word shall be fire-tipped with the soul eloquence that only Barnes can express, and the cry will go out over the entire United States, “We have a new Webster, a new Clay, a new Calhoun, a new Rutledge, thank God, and he is from the State of California.” (Ap- plause.) In dealing with national affairs who can do it—who paint it in _grander poetry and in more marvelous beauty and greater | harmony than General W. H. L. Barnes? I appeal to you now, let us not forget the “noblest Roman of them all,” Williarh H. L. Barnes of San Francisco. COSPER ALSO FOR BULLA. ‘Wildest applause was returned Sena- tor Morehouse for his splendid effort and he gave way to Senator Cosper, who seconded the nomination of Rob- ert N. Bulla. He said that he pleaded for clean, honest, fair politics, an hon- esty of the good old sort that charac- terized our fathers and our mothers. He sald: % The man whom we should choose for United States Senator should be first an American and after that a Californian. Let him take care of the interests of our nation, and, as an irresistible corollary of that theorem, California will be . taken L care of. Over two centurles ago ou (Applause.) | as she s to-day in this question more | here, that the gentus of the American than any other State, should have a man with ability to think, and a man with | ability to express those thou; man ‘We want a man who is alive | Such a man is | or to-mor- | ns and so | | e0- | ple, gulded by the spirit of the god of | natfons, will be able to take the starry | banner ‘and sweet with the fragrance of liberty, bright with the effulgence of free- dom, plant it on the uttermost isles of the | sea irrevocably. I take great pleasure in seconding the nomination and joining with | you in the laudable effort to elect the Hon. Robert N. Bulla. PHELAN COMES IN PLAY. | Mr. Wardell placed in nomination | Hon. James D. Phelan of San Fran- cisco. In doing so he said that Mr. Phelan was a gentleman of indomitable | energy, splendid talents and of brilliant | education—a man who has served the | people, worked faithfully for them and‘ will serve them constantly as long as he is in the public service. “I take | great pleasure in presenting the name | of Hon. J. D. Phelan of San Fran-| cisco.” PIERCE’'S IDEA OF BURNS. Mr. Pierce of Yolo turned another trick for Burns at this point. He said he did not want to second Burns, he simply wanted to tell what the good people of | Yolo thought of him. He said that Mr. | Burns' word was the strongest thing in | the county, not excepting cheese and Yolo whisky. Mr. Pierce is 38 years of age; Mr. Burns about 54; but Mr. Plerce remem- bered distinctly ‘when ‘they went to school together. They called him Captain Dan | then, and Burns did not wear stockings; | he was a “barefooted orphan;” came into the county that way, in fact, although he went out wearing patent leathers. He | recalled his boyhood days at great length | and sald that all of the gang now living | was In the lobby at that minute, which | none of his hearers doubted who had | heard the Burns rooters at the railing. Pjerce also denied that ‘‘Captain Dan' | had ever robbed Yolo of a cent. On th contrary, he had come back in his la: years and paid off the debts he owed | when he left town. Mr. Plerce, however, made no Mexican _references. Continu- | ing, he said that Burns was a man in whom we all have the greatest confidence and that he had been a potent factor in all the successes that the Republican party had attained during the past ten | Years; that he had contributed more to the success of the Republican party than any other individual {n the State of Cal- ifornia, and that he could cope with any and all questions that might be presented lsr)enhal{n as a member of the United States e. A GOOD SECOND FOR GRANT. Senator Cutter of Yuba seconded Grant’s nomination in one of his usual | g00d speeches. He said: Opposed by corporate power and cor- porate wealth, arrayed against him the political machinery of the party, relying solely upon his own merits and the man- | ifest wish and will of the magorlty of the | people, the name of Ulysses S. Grant has | been x‘respmed to this joint assembly for | the office of Senator of the United States. I heartily second the nomination. He is a gentleman of high scholarly attalnments as well as of sound, practical sense. It is true, Mr. President, that like his dis- f)lfngulshed father he is somewhat reticent speech, but ' there are now enougl members of the United States Senate who darken wisdom with multitude of words, and I _think it not wise that this joint assembly of California should add to their number. We who are his friends and supporters believe that ultimately he will be the choice of this joint assembly, and with confidence and with energy that knows no defeat we Eronose to fight it out on this line if it takes all winter. BARNES CHOICE OF THE PEOPLE. { Senator Luchsinger, in seconding the nolr(x;lnauon of Gen. W. H. L. Bagnes, said: He has done more for the Republican 1 party than any other candidate that has r hon- | appeared before this Assembly for elec-klatl the balloting begun. At the end of it the result was as follows: W. H. Barnes 9, R. N. Bulla 11, D. M. Burns 25, C. N. Felton 1, U. 8. Grant Jr. 27, George A. Knight 2, James D. Phelan 34, M. M. Estee 2, Irving M. Scott 2, Van R. Paterson 3, Thomas R. Bard 2, John Rosenfeld 1; total, 119. Speaker Wright announced the result and upon motion of Assemblyman Dib- ble adjournment was taken to noon to- morrow. DEMOCRATS g TO HOLD A SOLID FRONT | CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 11.—The Democratic mem- bers of the Senate and Assembly met in joint caucus to-night and decided to vote for eight different Democrats for United States Senator on the next eight joint ballots if that many are taken before the Senatorial election Is decided. The names of a number of Democrats were submucced to the caucus, which was attended by nearly all of the members who are enrolled in the ranks of the mi- nority. After the names of M. F. Tarpey, J. H. Seawell, James G. Maguire, Colonel James F. Smith, A. Caminetti and Marion de Vries were submitted for consideration, it | was decided that all of these Democratic leaders were worthy of the honor of re- celving a complimentary ballot for Sen- ator, so a motion to appoint a committee to designate the order in which they should be balloted for was carried. Assemblyman Mead of Los Angeles was named as chairman of the committee, and after a half hour of deliberation the com- | mittee reported the following as the order in which the names suggested should be voted: Third ballot, M. F. Tarpey; fourth ballot, J. H. Seawell; fifth ballot, James G. Maguire; sixth ballot, Colonel James F. Smith; seventh baliot, A. Caminetti; eighth ballot, Marion de Vries, ESTEE ARRIVES AS BURNS’ MANAGER CALL, HEADQUARTERS, BSACRA- MENTO, Jan. 11.—M. M. Estee arrived | from San Francisco this evening. On the train hither he made the statement to an old friend and fellow traveler that he | was coming here to manage Dan Burns' of unless Estee manages Dan’s fight with | ht for the Senatorship. The change management will not prove successful more skill and sagacity than Dan man- aged Estee’s fight for the same office | several years ago. The Grant men to-night are deeply chagrined over the desertion of Jilson from their camp. Thef remark fn ex lanation of the defection that there is ut one step from booze to boodle. “GUN FIGHTERS” QUIESCENT. CARSON, Nev., Jan. 1L.—All talk o “gun fights” or personal encounters lia ble to take place at the Silver State Cen- tral Committee to-morrow should be set down as the merest bosh. The alr is full of rumors to the effect that both sides have imported “gun fighters” and roughs to take a hand in the Senatorial contest. They are untrue. s Tom Wren arrived to-day and was closeted with Stewart and Wallace. A number of representatives of both houses arrived to-day and a caucus will be held Bunday night. It is rumored that the Sil- ver State Central Committee will take a hand in the Senatorial fight to-morrow, but it is given out that the call is In re. on"to the Gubernatorial contest. 5 S| | really sensible talk of the day, but was outnumbered. His theory was that the talk would change no vote, that it would be a gallery play, largely for the benefit of reporters; it had the virtue of truth to back it. Everybody who had ready a speech roared in protest, but that which Stratton in his haste had termed a | “wasteless use” of time seemed to suit the majority, and a shudder passed over the throng. As the diScussion progressed Shortridge, who had a seat near the front, fell into a gentle and becoming dose. He did not pose, for the Senator from Santa Clara is free from affecta- tion, but he settled back with the air of a statesman aweary. At Intervals the clamor of his necktie awoke him, and then he placed his finger on his lips to avold shouting “No” on the motion to limit nominating speeches. . “Technically speaking,” said Johnson of Sacramento, ‘‘we are not supposed to | know anything as to the speeches made | In separate sessions. I am Wwilling to | waive the technicality | of the proposition to stand.” | At last the path to glory was cleared, | and Senator Smith arose to nominate U. | S. Grant. He made a good speech, but it | had no possible effect. It was a fine trib- | ute to Grant, utterly devoid of the possi- | bility of winning a vote for him. Senator Wolfe spoke for Burns. Eddie | did well.” He is master of a fine heel and toe movement, but whether more elo- | quent when standing on his heels or when | reared on the pinnacle of a rigid toe I | am not able to say. He was hanuicapped by his subject. He had to extol Burns as | cultured and educated, as a citizen of standing, as a soldier of renown, and the fact that Burne has none of these quali- ties and is none of these things might have rattled a person of less gall. When he said Burns was without spot or blem- ish I wondered why Ananias had caught such a hard biff for fibbing, but when hz added that Burns was the choice of San Francisco, and the choice of the | State, which is even now ringing with de- nunciation of him and his ways, Ananias became a gentleman of comparative ve- racity. Eddle painted Dan as a reformer, man of character, force and ability, | with the best citizens for his friends, and | decency staying up nights to pray for his | election. In other words, while the Sena- | tor did not make an ass of himself, he in no manner marred his reputation as one already made. It was a hard task | he had to perform, and that he performed it without a blush proved him adapted to a delicate and difficult situation. was applause when he finished. It came argely from the gallery, where the clag- | uers had secured seats. Senator Simpson followed. He rambled, | verbose, through the corridors of time | and threatened to infringe upon eternity. He told about having, at the age of 14, | drawn his sword—probably a tin one scab- | barded in his Christmas stocking, but this is a mere matter of detall. People began to get tired and wish he had fallen on the sword. “I revere Grant,” said Simpson, “and Burns and men of that class.” This strikes me as & new class. Grant has an apology due. Yet Simpson comes from a Prohibition district. Buch cheers as he got were in token of joy that he had finished. I almost forgot to say that his object was to nominate Bulla, for whom he expressed love, and he had love to spare, In fact, he was in a loving mood. But Bulla deserved better luck.

BY HENRY JAMES, ty, came to the front and for a time kept alive a query as to why he had done so. He sald some good things, which I wiil not quote, for thers was no possible miti- gation for saying them. He took up each candidate in turn, patnted him red, holst- ed him to the ultimate of a lofty pole and descanted upon his unmatched virtues. Along the Rotten Row of reminiscence he trotted astride the lame horse of rhetoric, while nobody knew why he was there or at what place he ev-e to arrive. All about him he strewed a torrent of bouquets, having his saddlebags full. He loved the bulging bosom and the musical volce of Knight, he had & profound ad- miration for the uprightness of Burns, and therefore he seconded the nomination of Bulla. I think that with Simrson and Cosper, Bulla played in hard luck for the day. At this Belshaw wanted a limit put on speeches, but the chairman made only a fair pretense of hearing him. Morehouse, who had tried in the first place to head off nomination speeches, had the duty of presenting the name of Gen- eral Barnes. He did it In well chosen language. The best by far heard during the session. Mayor Phelan was offered and got the full vote of his party when the time came. Then the seconds began to come in. They came in fast. Pierce of Yolo was wound up and the only topic known to the Pierce mind is the virtue, worth and the general integrity of Dan Burns. Ac- cording to Pierce, Dan’'s Yolo record is all right, but he omitted any mention of the Sacramento record, nor did he say that on file in the building which echoed helplessly to his clarion notes were rec- ords showing that Burns owed the State | $31,000 for money stolen. He resented the criticism of the press, not perhaps as the rogue who begins to feel the halter draw, but as the friend of the rogue. Accord- ing to him, Burns is the best of living men, and if better there have been his- tory overlooked them. There was an al- most audible sense of relief when Plerce had run down. Next came the balloting, of which full accounts are given else-, where. Victory did not perch on any of the banners, nor show even a momentary impulse to alight. She coyly kept aloof and the bait to coax her down was not in evidence. It is not worth whils to an- alyze the vote. I would rather devote a line to the voters. Kenneally of San Francisco shouted out “Burns” so loudly as to demonstrate that he felt proud of the distinction of being owned by the Candelarfan hero, and Leavitt of Alameda did the same. Ken- neally has a charge of manslaughter hanging over him in the city merely be- cause an old man he struck happened st inopportunely to die, and perhaps a noise serves to keep the ghost at bay. Leavitt has not even this sorry pretext to advance, and I suspect his shout to be the equivalent of a midnight whistle in a YOUR STSTEM THAT IS ALL WRONG HUDYAN will make it all right again.
