Jan. 2.—With enthu- stasm the Republican City Con- vention to-day nominated a com- plete ticket for the municipal | election. which will be held in March: The only fight of the session de- veloped %guring the nominating of a can- dldate for City Treasurer. C. B. Morgan captured the place on the ticket easily in the balloting against A. C. Henry Asa V. Mendenhall was nominated for City Attorney by the Second Ward and sec- onded by the First Ward delegation, but. in a pretty speech, Mendenhall declined and withdrew in favor of James A. John- cilmen at large, but just before the bal- loting B. H. Grifin’'s name was with- drawn, so the four rémaining were chosen by acclamation. The principal planks of the platform as adopted are as follows: There are times in the history of all ‘muni- clpal governments when reform movements geem to be necessary, and when citizens from all political parties consider themselves bound to unite to purge the offices of corruption, Waste and extravagance. But mo such condi- Tions of oity affairs exists at the present time; and men of honesty, Integrity and com- petency can easily be elected by the Republi- can voters of this city from their own ranks Without entangling alllances with those who are not willing to support the Republican ad- ministration, to which California owes so much, and which was so heartily approved In the popular vote of November, A. D. 1990, \we believe the career of every municipal re- form movement should end when its mission has been accomplished, and there can be no reason for an existence continued indefinitely, or even so long that its name. membership and infiuence fall into the control of per- Sons whose object is not reform, but rather the securing to themselves of the opportunity to renew the evil practices which the movement was in the beginning organized to reform. We are in favor of such amendments to our ity charter as shall remove the Mayor, City Attorney and City Engineer from the Board of Public Works, and shall give to the City Council the power to control the assessment for city taxes upon city property without the consent of the County Assessor. We pledge our nominees to favor and strict- Iy enforce the law wheteby eight hours shall work on all public bufldings, work and enterprises. % We are in favor of the formation of a con- solidated city and county government for the city of Oakland and vicinity at the earliest practicable time. We pledge our nominees to do all within their power to reduce water rates to the lowest limit permissible under the terms of the con{ stitution and of the law. We also pledge our nominees to continue to a final conclusion the defense of that action now defendant. We favor the entrance into our city of all competing transcontinental railroads and pledge our mominees to €avor and to grant such frane Chises #s may be required to induce sald roads 1o enter this city and reach our harbor fron and to do evervthing in thelr power to encou ke manufacturing and commercial enterprise 1o locate in our city. | We pledge ourselves anew to favor the fres | public school system in our city of Oaklend. | We are in favor of the furniehing and proper | equipment of our public library building, of fhe raisine, widening and permanent impr. ment of the Twelfth-street dam, of the acqu sition of proper parks, of the construction and city in the best sanitary condition possible. and ot all reasonable Improvements, and of honest, ment, administered by an Intelligent, energetic and competent City Couneil.

OAKLAND, Jan. 26.—The withdrawal of R. H. Chamberlain and D. Edward Col- lins from the Municipal League conven- tion_last night was followed to-day by the resignation of both those gentlemen from the league. Alexander T. Stewart, also a_delegate to the convention, has pre- sented his resignation as a member of the Municipal League. Mr. Collins was treas- urer and for many years one of the most active in the official body of the league. Mr. Chamberlain made the following statement to-day: The direct cause of my withdrawgl from the lic session, for the purpose (frankly avowed by the maker of the motion) to make final thirty minutes,”” was in direct violation of the pirit of a resolution previously adopted, to the effect that all the candidates whose names had been presented should appear before the convention, formaily pledge themselves | to its platform and be questioned as to their position on any subject raised by the assem- bled delegates; also that this should be done before final action and in executive session. ‘Some of the candidates whose names had been presented for Mayor as well as for other offices were not present. There was an evident purpose to raflroad candidates through regardless of any oppor- tunity for discussing their merits and con- trary to all precedent in former conventions of_the league. There was, however, another reason for my withdrawal more vital and more far-reaching. It was because I became last night fully convineed of what I had for some time feared, viz.: That a spirit of narrowness, bigotry and extreme partisanship had gained the ascend- ancy in the councils of the league, that it no in its constitution and In its platform, but had been prostituted to serve the purposes of a mere faction of the Republican pafty whose Erievance dates back to the Congressional Campatgn of last summer. ‘There was & strong effort made last might to pledge the convention in advance not to nominate for any office any man who would also accept a nomination at the hands of the Republican convention to-day. T regard this policy as extremely narrow and unwise. tle 1 was not committed to|any particu- lar candidate who seemed likely \to receive a nomination at that convention and doubted if we coujd indorse many, if any. of their can- | Gidates, yet I wanted 'the league to be free | to indorse good men wherever they could be | found. regardless of the fact of their be- ing either nominated or refected by any other party. | " This T have understood to represent the non- partisan spirit and purpose of the league. 1 am mistaken in this, then I have been out | of place in being a member thus far. | 1 think T can hest answer the question as to | my attitude on the water question by stating | that the ks in the league's platform re- H..
