George Fifzgerald of the Third Ward does ‘even better than this, for he adds to these three nomina- tions that of the Union:Labor party, while the Socialists and Prohibitionists have not yet been heard from. | As a general rule the Republican and the Municipal Léague tickets'are the same, owing te the conference that was in | progress during the greater part of the “afterndon. . The conference committees tould not get together on City Atter- ney, one Councilman at large, ward Councilmen from the First, Second and Sixth wards, and ward School Directors from the First and Sixth Wards. . i At the conference the Republicans promised to support the majority of the Municipal League nominees and they aid it very faithfully to-night; but they could not get the Municipal League to stand for James A. Johnson for Clty Attorney. They also wanted the league to nominate G. H. Aiken for Councilman at large, but this the league re- fused to do, and so the Republicans went their own way upon thése nominations, leaving the league to do the same. But there are points of similarity between all of the ticke in the Sixth Ward ‘the Union Labor and Republican nominees for the Council are the same, W. J. Baccus, a popular young member of the Bullding Trades Council. G.y H. Aiken, for Councilman at large, appears upon the same combination of tickets.

Letting go of the horses he grasped the boy with his left arm and began a heroic struggle to reach the bank of the stream. But the water was powerful enough to require the strength of a giant with both arms tree to keep above the flood. Langdon was weighed down by rubber boots and | | heavy coat. | Besldes, the lad was crazed with fear and made the effort of swimming all the greater. s Langdon did not cease the great strug- gle to save the boy, and after being car- ried under for the second time he suc- ceeded -in locating the youngster in a place of safety.

Stetson, who made an ugly attack on the City Tngi-- neer, a minority in the convention tried to secure the selectfon of a young man, who, Stetson sald, was his friend—Eu- gene Thurston. T. M. Robinson and John E. Farnum indorsed Thurston, but Cary | Howard, Walter Manuel, J. K. Moffitt Jr., Charles S. Cushing and George W. Dor- nin went to the front hard for Turner. Stetson charged that Turner had thrown out of office friends of the league, and had voted to pass lllegal watey bills.

The convention met at Hamilton Hall. Cary Howard, presi- dent of the League, called the body to or- der in a brief address, declaring that the League's protest was always against nom- ination by corporations or other private interests. He sald the league had no ax to grind and no ulterior purposes to serve. He felt confident that the same sdirit that pervaded the first independent city con- ventiofi fourteen years ago in. Hamilton Hall would dominate this body and it would name a ticket that would sweep the city. H. A. Powell was elected temporary chairman and John McVey temporary secretary. “I pity the man who in this | city of Oakland will accept a nomination at this time and after his electién betray is trust,” significantly declared Chair- man Powell. The following committees were named on credentlals: George T. Hawley, C. A. Chichester, George L. Willlams: on platform and- order of busi- ness—Charles 8. Cushing, W. G. Manuel and J. E. Farnum. The temporary officers were made per- manent. The piatform favored a cogsoll- dated city and county government as soon as practicable, and took the ground that the water question is the issue, declar- ing as follows: We believe that the paramount fssue before us is the water question, and we assert that this question must be definitely settled once for all in order that this corrupting influence may be removed from municipal affairs and ur city enabled to enter upon the progressive Ohrest to which it is so- eminently fitted by its natural advantages.

The platform further declares that the first requisite to this end is that recom- mended by the Committee on Water Sup- 1 a ‘}'\\'a denounce the action of the major- ity of the present Council in its subser- vience to the dictates of the water mo- continues the platform.

The convention rose en masse and cheered Mr. Olney as he appeared on the platform, being introduced by the chair- man. He said: Before this campaign is over I hope to Be able to try and show the people of the city how to free themselves from the domination of the Contra Costa Water Company.

W. A. Dow named R. H. E. Espey for City Attorney. There was no opposition. Arthur H. Breed was presented by George W. Dornin. - John Fearn placed Felton Taylor in nomination for City Treasurer. These were made by acclamation. After the Turner fight was over the remainder of the ticket was completed without con- test, save over Library Trustee George 8.

There was still.a lingering hope in the breasts of the members of that committee that the Municipal League might yet come to them upon the nomina- tlon of James A. Johnson, and they de- layed matters until word came from the | other hall that Espey had been ¢hosen against Johnson. RUSH THINGS THROUGH. After that the Republicans rushed | things through. They stood by their | agreement With ‘the League in every par- | ’t!cular except one Library Trustee, and | | there George S. Evans broke the slate and | | deteated E. P. Flint. The platform covered the usual ground. | Tt referred to the national administration and made spectal mention of the commer- clal supremacy of the city of Oakland and | the necessity of a new City Hall, the m- | | provement of streets and sewers, exten- | sion of parks and the submission of a| broad proposition to cover these points. | The nominees of the convemtion were | pledged to take possession of the water | front property and thes construction of | wharves, the making of eight hours a day's work, "the completion of the | Twelfth-street dam and the improvement | of the lands south of the dam. The docu- | ment concluded as follows: 2 We repudiate the action of the majority of the city Council in fixing the present water rates, and declare the same to be in vmmxon“ of the wish and desire of the Republican voters of thie city, and we condemn such rates as | unjust, excessive and exorbitant, and pledge | our nominees to vote for and establish the | lowest possible legal rate, which shall be fair alike to consumer and producer. We pledge our | nominees to do all in their power to conduct | to a successful termination on behalf of the | city the suit now pending in the Superior Court of Alameda County, and the Supreme Court of tne State of Cailfornia, wherein the Contra Costa Water Company is plaintiff and the city of Oakland is defendant. | WANT WATER PLANT. ‘ e belleve the city should acquire and | maintain its own water plant for the purpose | of furnishing water to the residents of Oak- | land, to the end that our peopls may be freed | from the greed and unjust exactions of ava- ricious corporations, and we therefore favo and pledge our Mominees to submit to the vot ers of this ¢ity a bond proposition whereby | such public utility may become one of - the | permanent improvements and fixtures of the | 2ity of Oakland, and in this connection we in- Jorse and adopt the report of the special Committee on Water Supply to the Council of this city as a part of our vlatform. Nominations came thick and fast, and in no case was there a contest, so Secretary Stetson was kept busy casting the ballot of the convention for unanimous - dele- gates. Rev. E. E. Baker, pastor of the First Presbyterian Chureh, who was a delegate from the Fifth Ward, presented the name | of Warren Olney to the convention, and | with cheers the nomination was made | unanimous. Dan Doody of the Sixth Ward nominated F. C. Turner for City Engineer, and F. M. Parcells performed a like duty for Felton Taylor for Treasurer. Guy C. Earl named A. H. Breed for Audi- tor and C. H. King of the Seventh Ward nominated James A. Johnson. There was a dearth of candidates pres- | | ent for some gime, most of them being at | | the Municlpal League Convention. A. H. | Breed was given the most nolsy reception | and James A. Johnson made the longest | | address to the convention and was hear- tily cheered. REFERS TO RECORD. He referred to his record and defied any | one to point to a dishonorable act in four- | tcen vears' service as City Attorney. Warren Olney appeared before the con- vention before the nominations had been | concluded and made a direct, forcible atement of what he hoped for Oakiand, | saying: & i After a residence among you of thirty years | during which time you have, most of you. | known me, it s only necessary for me to say | that if elected I will all that is possible for | the advancemenmt of Oakland and to free the | eity from the domination of the Contra Cosi | Water, Company and all corrupt influences. I have seen this city grow, and we should have | half a million peoples upon this side of the | bay In ten years. God Almighty has done ail that he should do for Oakland, and If we do not take advantage of what we have and .bulld up our city It is our own fault and we don’t desefve what the good Lord has given us. The rapid routine of nominations was then proceeded with. Charles E. Snook named George W. Dornin for Councilman at large. George Samuels performed a like servide for B. C. Cuvellier. F. M. Parcells presented the name of John L. Howard, and Frank Bilger named G. E. Alken of the Seventh Ward. All were | nominated. SLATE IS BROKEN. C. H. Redington, F. M. Hathaway, L. | J. Hardy and G. W. Hunt were named for School Directors at large, and then the slate was broken on Library Trustees. The conference report declared for H. Carleton, Wallace Alexander, J. A. Mc- Pherson and E. P. Flint. Ben Griffins nominated George S. Evans, and the vote stood: H. P. Carleton 142, Wallace Alex- arder 131, J. A. McPherson 127, H. A. Glines 122, George S. Evans 9, E. P. Flint 5, this defeating Flint, there being five to be nominated. TRe ward nominees were then named as e e e AKLAND, Jan. 31.—The feitures of ‘the Democratic city convens tion this evening were the nomin- ation of Warren Olney for Mayor, and three Republican incumbents—-A. H. | Breed for Auditor, Robert Fitzgerald for Councilman from the Third Ward and F. C. Turner for City Engineer. Councilman J. T. Wallace was renom- ated from the Seventh Ward. About foPty of the sixty-five delegates were in attendance. The only flash of enthusi- asm was when Olney was nominated for Mayor. Owing to. the absence of dele- Sates she nomination for Councliman at larze and some of the other minor offices was' postporied until Tuesday evening, when the delegates will convene again. James.
