Judge Ross reviews the affidavits made by the scrippers, to the effect that the lands filed upon by them were not min- | eral or claimed for mining purposes, and that the application therefor by the scrip | pers was not made for the purpose of | fraudulently obtaining title to mineral land, but with the object of obtaining the same for agricultural purposes. He declares these affidavits to be palpa- | bly false, and says that had the appli- | cants stated that they at least believed | the lands sought contained oil and that | they wanted them for that purpose and | desired to select them under the law au- thorizing agricultural Yands to be taken | in exchange for lands situated within a ernment, no one could doubt that the of- ficers of the local Land Office would have | refused to flle or receive the selection of such land under the forest reserve lieu | land act. Complainants allege the non-mineral af- | fidavits _were not required by law, but Judge Ross declares the fact remains that such afidavits were made and con- | stituted a representation and one of the | means by which the selectors sought to | secure the lands; and, having been made | for the purpose of evading and defeating | the law, no court of equity should len its ald toward securing the fruits of the | fraud. The court continues: The statute under which the scrippers filed | | | forest reservation surrendered to the Gov- | | prelate was introduced by Frank Miller of this city. Vocal music was rendered | by a number of the best singers of Sac- | ramento and seven prominent young men acted as ushers. | A handsome sum was realized from the | lecture and Monsignor Capel feels gratl- | fied that he was able to lend assistance to so worthy a cause.

Municipal and Legislative Nomina- tions Are Made. The platform reported by Chatrman M. | H. Herman of the platform committee | | was adopted with considerable show of | | egthusiasm and then the announcement | was made by the chalr that the privileges | of election committee from each district | would meet in room 10, Academy of Sci- | ences buflding, this afternoon between 2 | and clock for the purpose of indorsing the certificates of the nominees. The| nominations for the Senate and Assembly | were then announced. The reports from | the Thirty-fourth and Foriy-third As- | sembly districts and the Twenty-third Senatorial District were passed until later | in the evening. Hull McClaughry was the first to re- spond to the call for nominations for Su- perior Judges. He said; ““This is a time when we Democrats are | wont to glorify two men and two men alone, and we are fighting shoulder to shoulder to preserve the happiness Demoeracy assures us, but we can only | secure that happiness through an honest, fair and learned judiciary, and we should | | bave for our Judges only men who will follow the dictates of justice and of solid learning. San Francisco through the judg- ment of a Democratic executive has on its | bench a man who has fully borne out the wisdom of that judgment. He is not a | politician and sought no office. I refer to | the Hon. William P. Lawlor. Judge Law- | lor is incorruptible, he is intelligent, he is | patient and he is fust, and it is our dut to name a man such as he, who is not | but is strong before the people. | alities will insure his success at the | pol He has been a life-long Democrat, | ]nnni it is but just that the Democracy | | should be the means of bringing his name | before the people.” | “There was great applause for Lawlor, | and then E. B. Young came forward. It | | was known that Young was going to nom- inate Daingertfleld, and the delegates could not contrel their desire to cheer before | | ihe name was uttered. | *I present to you,” sald Young, “the| name of a man just and fair and one who | | treats all people alike, be they rich or | cor, high or low, with or without power. present the name of a man who is an in- | cumbent of the bench—the name of Wii- liam R. Daingerfield. p At the mention of the name the dele- tes rose to their feet and .cheered and shouted untll they were hoarse. Then Young continued, “His _D‘"fl['!h?!m mean his election. | ¢ | where | and in all of these ten ye | recess of fifteen minutes | There were offers of all kinds of motions His life is an open book and his record is without blemi I present the name of Judge Daingerfleld to you.” Then there was heering and shouts of “He's elected already!"” and more cheers, until the chairman rapped for. order.

It was moved and seconded that the nominatiohs for Supe- rior Judges for the long term be closed and the secretary be instructed to cast the ballot for the four candidates named. The motion was carried without a dissent- ing voice. Nominations for the Judge for the short term brought up Charles S. Peery. He “I will nominate a man who Is a great lawyer himself and the son of a great lawyer. He is a man who will fulfill the demands of this platform, a man fearless and unpledged. name Gaillard Stoney.” On motion the secretary cast the ballot of the convention for Stoney. When nominations for Justices of the Peace were called for, Charles A. Swelgert came forward and sald: “Gentlemen: I do not have to be a good guesser to know that if the candidate I name shall be your nominee he will break into the ranks of the enemy for votes. He is known in San Francisco wherever the Democratic language is spoken. 1 nominate T. I. Fitzpatrick.” ‘offey took the platform to Edward I Coff nominate ‘& man from the largest district in the city.” “I will name a man,” he sald, *“who, if elected, will redeem the Justices’ Bench of lh}l:a city from the scandal and slime that has been cast upon it by the charge that it has been operated for the benefit of certain collection agencles in this city. I name honest John Prosek.” Curtis Hillyer mounted the platform for the next speech: ‘“The candidate whom I shall name is known to you all, to the bench and bar and to the rank and flle of the party. I have the honor to nominate Joseph B. O’Connor.” Thomas M. O'Connor then came for- ward. “I nominate,” he sald, “a man who was educated here and has practiced law here; a man who springs from the people; whose armor is fidelity, his sword apility’ and his name is James B. Mur- Y. W. B. Cope made the last nominating speech. He sald: “I desire to place before you the name of a young Democrat who has done ser- vice for the Democratic party, who has been elected to the Assembly and has n{ade g:re a cle:;n. honest record. 1 ace re you fo Ehe hame of D.

Tt was then moved that the convention adjourn to this evening at 8 to settle the district troubles, but this motion was amended to “that the convention take a to allow the Twenty-third Senatorial District to nom- inate a Senator.” A vote was taken, but it was too even for the chairman and he acceded to the demand for a roll call. but none were entertained by the chair. The Thirty-first gave 14 noes; the Thirty- ninth gave 14 ayes. The resuit of the roll call was an overwhelming majority for :Yl:le drece , and the convention tnoi its rd re 3 "ecess.

Delegates from the Thirty-first District argued that as that was the banner Demo- critic district of the city the nomination should not be taken out of it into a Re- publican district. Joseph Slye of the Thir- was The ty-ninth asserted that his district had be- | come Democratic and for that reason had fourteen delegates under the apportion- ment. He said that for elghteen years they had supported the candidate put up by the Thirty-first District, and they thought it was time for the nomination to come to them. The deadlock could not be broken and numerous motions to adjourn were lost by a tie vote, until the chairman finally de- clared the meeting adjourned and led the way back to the convention hall to report. in the Thirty-fourth, which caused it to be passed early in the even- ing, was raised by J. E. O'Brien, who was not present when P. F. Higgins was elect- ed chaiman, He declared there was no chalrman. During the recess, however, the delegation got together and agreed on Higgins. Then Willlam D. Hines was nominated for the Assembly. The delegation from the Forty-third also got together and agreed on J. J. McGuire for the Assembly. When the convention reassembled these nominations were reported and ratified. The tailure of the joint delegation from the Thirty-first and Thirty-ninth to agree on any one for Senator for the Twenty- third Senatorial District was also report- ed, and the delegation was given until this evening to coma to an agreement. Denman then reminded the convention that there was still a nomination for a member of the Board of Equalization from this district unmade, and he moved that the conventlon adjourn to meet at Odd Fellows' Hall this evening at 8 o'clock to wind up its business, and then, after ad- journing sine dle, to reconvene as a con- vention to nominate a_member of the Board of Equalization from this district. This motion was carried and then the del- egates left the hall. el GETTING DOWN TO WORK. Order of Business and Resolution Continuing County Committee.

Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 24.—Two thousand people assembled to-night to listen to Samuel M. Shortridge's address upon campalgn issues as viewed from a Republican standpoint. Considering the fact that rain fell during the evening the reception to the San Franciscan was grat- ifying. In the course of his speech Mr. Shortridge sald: The Democracy at present stands where it has always stood, in favor of a so-called free- trade policy, which would mean the destruo- tion of nearly every industry in the State of California, Remember this, men of this coun- try; remember that four years ago, under the Democratic Wilgon tariff bill, in a time of profound peace throughout this country, the Tevenues derlved under that law wege Insuf- ficlent to pay the ordinary running expenses of the government, so that it became necessary for this country to borrow $260,000,000 in a time of profound peace.
