The first sensation of the evening was sprung by Delegate A. Ruef of the Thirty- peventh. He offered an amendment to the committee’s report, and in a heated speech attacked the order of business as pre- sented by the committee and the work of the Grand Hotel caucus. His amendment read: The order of business of this convention shall be as follows | 1 fon of report of committee on per- manent organization and order of business, and | Gotion thereon.

In this, in her matters involving the expenditure blic money, We are opposed to discrimi- nation in the award of public contracts. §. We are in favor of the present ordinance for the removal of poles and placing under- ground all electric wires within the district prescribed by said ordinance, and demand of our nominees an honest and determined’ effort to secure such a result. 5. We belleve in the administration of gov- ernment—Federal, State and municipal—ac- cording to the same rigid rules of economy and honesty that business men observe in the con- duct of their own private affairs. Conducted on these principles a tax of one dollar on eac hundred dollars, based on an assessed valua- tion of $275,000,000, will be sufficient to properly administer the municipal government. We therefore demand of our candidates for the office of Supervisors a pledge that they shall mit the annual tax levy to an amount not xceeding that which will be produced by a tax levy of one dollar on every hundred dollars of assessed valuation not exceeding $375,000,000. 10. As the maximum amount which may be raised by the tax lev d will not all b duced to an equitable. T | required for the administration of the city gov- ernment under the new charter we pledge our candidates for Mayor and Supervisors to con- Quct sald government in an economical manner | and to expend the surplus 4n permanent im- provements, which improvemants shall be spe- cifically provided for each year in the annual tax levy. The funds set aside for improvements not be diverted or used for a: purpose. llars & day; and the nominees of this conventlon for Supervisors shall stand pledzed to_this provision. 17, The Republican party hereby declares fteelf in favor of all such measures as are nec- essary to protect white labor againet Chinese competition.

The present control of that institution by the Soclety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has been ently satisfactory. ). We recommend ‘the establishment of a new and sanitary system of sewerage, in order to improve the general sanitary condition of the city, and to that end all necessary pro- vislons should he made for immediately pro- ceeding with the construction of the best mod- ern-made sewers and sewer outlets as may be @eemed imperatively necessary, and pledge our candidates for Mayor and Board of Supervisors to_employ their best efforts to that end. 2. We indorse the provisions of the new charter as prescribed by article VI in relation to the charge, superintendence and control of our public Wiy, streets, sewers, etc., by the Board of Public Works, under such ordinances as may from time to time be adopted by the Board of Supervisors. 22 All cobble pavements in the business por- tions of the city, and particularly in the dis- trict north of Plhe street and east of Kearny, should be replaced with modern pavements constructed in the most substantlal manner at the carliest possible period of time and a sys- tematic plan be pursued for improving other pavements in bad condition as rapidly as the funds will permit. Specifications for paving should be g0 framed as to admit of asphalt, vitrified brick, wooden blocks and any other desirable materials used at present, and all specifications should require that guarantees San Francisco that regularly elected dele- gates have not been permitted to confer | with other regularly elected delegates on | the order of business. I expect, bykm)' in: a vote in favor of the propositions that shall urge upon you this evening. I have {-lacedht he selection of these officers who have not been selected by a certaln cau- | cus of this convention before another cau- cus can be held and shut out the consideration of those names. from mittee, because it has not been passed on by the caucus. 1 made the motion in this form because somebody might move to have my report laid on the table. I wish to know whether the county committee shall be selected by regularly appointed delegates or by delegates from other dis- tricts, who have been repudiated and who have been foisted upon us. I want it de- termined here and now whether this pri- mary law, which I had a hand in making, was a false pretense to the public or whether it means something diffcrent in & I have | put next the selectfon of a county com- | devoted to olvil eervice prinoiples, and our | candidate for Mayor and our candidates for all other offices are pledged to strictly and im- partially enforce the provisions of article XIII | upon civil service in the new charter. 2. We denounce and condemn the nefarious | system practiced by some of our city and | county officers by which employes under their | control are compelled to pay a certain percent- ege of thelr salaries as compensation for se- curing or retaining their positions, and we pledge our nominces, If elected, to refrain from direct or indirect participation in such prac- tice. 31 The Republican party belleves in liberty, equality and law; In the soverelgnty of the | people and in the government by and for the people through their chosen representative and | according to the constitution; it believes in personal independence; in universal religlous lberty; in the dignity of labor: in obedlence to the laws; in electing only the best men to office. We belfeve, and it is one of the car- dinal principles of the Republican faith, that eyery American citizen within the furisdiction of our government shall (if he wish) exercise his constitutional prerogative to cast his vote at every election, whether it be a natlonal, State, munlcipal or, the most important of all, a primary election, free and untrammeled, for the delegates or candidates of his choice, and to have that vote honestly counted; and, therefors, we, the representatives of these vital prineiples clare it to be our unalterable purpose to main- tain, uphold and support the new primary elec- tlon' law, passed by a Republican Legislature, approved by a Republican executive and faith- fully enforced by a Republican Registrar. | 3. No person shall become the candidate of this convention unless he shall wholly and | without reservation indorse the principles and | purposes declared in this platform. invite all patriotic citizens to unite with us | in the accomplishment of the objects and pur- | poses above set forth, fully believing that the exigencies of good government will be best eubserved by the election of the candldates of this convention.

SCHELL, Chatrman, And we | conventfon; whether it was proper to run a blanket ticket for the county committee and to run the business of the Republican party and shut out us delegates, who have the same right, morally and otherwise, to be here. 1 say, gentlemen, you are facing | a crisis in the history of ‘the Republican | party. ‘While the county committee does not amount to much, yet it will establish a principle. It means the destruction of the Republican party. And I say now, if that is the kind of Republicanism you gentlemen wish to folst upon us—to ex- pect me and fourteen other delegates to stand and say, we have no voice in a convention pledged to carry out certain dictations—" - Delegate Tauszky of the Fortieth raised the point that the original report contafned no provision as to the manner of selecting the county committee, and therefore Ruef's amendment specifying the mode and method of its ngnnln!ment was out of order. The chair ruled against the point. - A little fuel was added to the fire by Delegate George W. Schell, who stated he belfeved that the majority should rule and that the minority would have to sub- mit, let the consequences be what they might. Howls grested the assertion, and the chair nearly broke his cane trying to restore order. Schell did not llke what he pleased to term Mr. Ruef's threats. Ruef disclaimed any intention of mak- ing threats. He withdrew all the amend- ments he offered except order of business No. 6, referring to the manner of select- ing the county committee. The chair ruled that the section standing alone would be ruled out of order on_the point raised by Delegate Tauszky. Ruef was not to be outdone, and refntroduced the amendments as a whole and insisted upon the matter belng submitted to a vote. The viva voce vote was decidedly agamst the amendments and the rollcall was de- ;r;;x‘lq'ed. The vote was: Yes, 67 3-7; No. Before the motion on the original re- port could be put by the chairman Reuf | | of American citizenship, de- | | got the floor again and started another nlous men. At the conclusion of his eu- logy the delegates greeted his name with cheers. L. J. Truman Jr. seconded the nomination and added his meed of praise to what had already been said. Nomi- nations for Auditor having closed, Asa R. Wells was nominated by acclamation. Refore other nominations could be made Ruef to the front again with another resolution. - He said it was in the inter- ests of disposing of the convention’s busi- ness without delay. The resolution: Resolved, The secretary of this convention cest its ballot for the following candidates as nominees of this convention, and at his leisure collect from each §10, to wit reasurer, Louis Feusier; Recorder, W. Z. Tiffany; Coroner, A. D. McLean; County Clerk, Willlam A. Deane; Public Administrator, John Farnham; Tax Collector, J. Harry Scott; Sheriff, John Lack- sor, Albert Heyer; District At- . P. Black. The point was made that an order of business had been adopted, and that it would have to be followed. Ruef moved the suspension of the order of business and the adoption of his resolution. On the ground that it embodied two subjects under_one motion, it was ruled out of or- der. Ruef then went at the subjects one at a time. Delegate Tauszky of the For- tieth District wanted to know it if was the intention of some of the delegates to turn the cony 1 into a roaring farce, Crles of “Yes s!" from the rear of the hall was the answer to the delegate’s quer; Ruef's motion went down in an avalanche of noes. Louls Feusier, nominated for Treasurer | by Charles J. King and seconded by F. | A” Denicke, was selected for that office by acclamation. Delegate King bobbed up again when nominations for Assessor were called and named Albert Heyer for that honor. The secretary cast the vote of the convention. Delegate T. P. Haynes nominated Jo- seph H. Beott for the office of Tax Col- lector and he was chosen by acclamation to_represent the party on the ticket. ‘W. Z. Tiffany was placed in nomination for the office of Recorder by Leon E. Prescott. J. W.
