Hickey» Is Selected Chairman. Factions Struggle for Control of Party. S HE Democratic Municipal Con- vention at Native Sons’ Hall last night opened with a storm of re- monstrance against the execution of Gavin McNab's and there was scarcely a iull in the tu- mult until the adjournment at 11 o'clock. M. Jaspér McDonald, chairman of the Democratic County Commlittee, was de- nied the time-honored privilege of callifg the convention order on the pretext that he was not,a delegate. The real op- position to his presence on the platform ng from the knowledge that he was sympathy with the McNab faction of the party. He faced the storm for a con- siderable time, but perceiving that tl mminority delegates, whose capacity for to spr creating confusion was boundless, would not listen to a word uttered by him, sur- rendered the g tr el to another and retired )m the stage. The retirement of the ran in the service of the party was graceful and dignified as it possibl Id have been under the peculiar ci cumstances. Some of the protesting dele- gates noted the pathetic side of the sur- render, but did not relent. Thomas W. Hickey, who was slated for chairman iately after the victory of the regular forces at the primary elec- tion on August 11, was fairly enough chosen on the roll call. His opponent gracefully moved to make Mr. Hickey's ce unanimous. d. The irman made a full of fine phrases and for a minute or two after the close of his remarks there were signs of harmony. The deft hand of the power behind the chairman’s little throne was revealed when Osgood Putnam came forward with a osition to glve a little clique of seven delegates power to select and rec- mmend eighteen candidates for the | Board of Supervisors. William H. Cook, ding for fair play and home rule rec- gnition, m d that a committee of eighteen be appointed, one from each As- district, and that no district should ave two candidates on the Democratic ticket for the board. THE MINORITY PROTESTS. Minority delegates protested against the rawness of the programme and the haste of the programmers. =cenes of tumult and confusion followed fast. Chairman Hickey, apprehending that many motions re made to *“disturb the harmony” of convention, ruled the motions out of der. These rulings enraged the minority dele- gates, who seemed to plead in good faith that contests should be determined, prin- ciple he enunciated and an order of s be established before the con- vention went ahead with the work of se- lecting Supervisors. Mr. Cook’s motion was voted down. When efforts failed to obtain from the majority any concession in the direction of increasing the number of the committee on Supervisors, the Thirty-sixth, Thirty-seventh, Thirty- th and Thirty-ninth District dele- tes walked out. Several delegates from t Fortieth, Forty-first, Forty-second and Forty-third districts joined the insur- gents. Gavin McNab, who was scated near one of the revolting delegations, ob- served the departure, but did not alter the programme. Several delegates who did not walk out refused to vote. The executive committee of the 134 mi- v delegates will meet this forenoon to ‘mine what action shall be taken. It derstood that the convention will mble again Wednesday or Thursday dvening of this week. Meanwhile an olive of harmony are dim and dis There was open talk on the floor of vention that the rawness of the publicans to win in a walk this year. UPROAR BEGINS. M. Jasper McDon: Democratic County Committee, attempted to call the convention to order at 8:45 | p. m., but the roar of opposition aimost took him off his feet. He had uttered but a few sentences when the noise gen- erated by the “Horse and Carts” began. “Gentlemer velled McDonald, ‘‘as chairman of the Democratic County Com- mittee of the city and county n of San Francisco, it is my duty to call this as. sembly to order. Delegates will please take their seats. Mr. McDonald paused for breath, and before he could continue William Hoff Cook of the Thirty-ninth Assembly Dis- trict strode toward the platform and made himself heard above the din. “On behalf of the delegates of the Thirty-ninth Dis- trict,” he yelled, “‘we object to anybody wcalling this convention to order who is not a delegate to this convention.” Then there was an uproar. McDonald was a candldate on McNab's ticket in the Forty-second District, but the ticket was defeated by D. I. Mahoney's ticket. The “Horse and Carts” were opposed to McDonald because they believed him to be a McNab man and they precipitated a fight at the very outset. McDonald tried to be heard above the noise, but his voice was lost amid the hoots, vells and applause from both fac- tions.” The spectators in the gallery and lobby helped swell the noise and the hall was filled with sound. “It is my duty to call this convention to order,” McDanald feebly called. “The law savs this convention can only be organized by delegates,” reiterated Cook. “‘Gentlemen,” yelled' one lusty lunged delegate, “is this convention composed of human beings or a crowd of savages?” “Sit down,” replied a fellow delegate, and the ioud voiced man subsided. Amid more hoots McDonald announced that none but delegates should be in their seats. This was the cue for Cook, who bawled out: “If none but delegates are allowed in these seats, no one but a dele- gate should be in that seat.” There were shouts of approval from the “Horse and Carts” and groans from the McNab con- tingent. l‘t;)'ou're out of order,” replied McDon- ald, “I appeal to this convention.” Cries of “Sit down,” “Throw him out,” “Good boy” and similar remarks filled the air. CRIES. FOR HICKEY. ask that the secretary of this county committee call this convention to order,” yelled a delegate. There were cries for Thomas W. Hickey. Amid the yells Colo- nel Herbert Choynski of the Forty-third District, who has but half a vote in the convention. but possesses a full voice, velled: “Why can't some one else call this convention to order? There are other chairmen here. It does not matter wheth- er the chairman comes from Golden Gate Park or South Park.” William A. Kelly, a young man who at one time won renown in League of the Cross essay contests, took the platform and was recognized by McDonald. The noise was too great and Kelly gave up his intention of speaking before going half way. Kelly attempted to make a motion, but the opposition was too strong for programme, | The convention acqui- | speech | b programme would enable the Re- | . chairman of the | | i CEonGE GPLETTHA ~ PO T/ //;e O Dot Elt— s ez AR | him to be heard. Willlam M. Cannon of the Thirty-fifth District tried his voice and also gave it up as a bad job. Kelly | demanded that the convention proceed with the regular order. During the up- roar Joe O'Donnell, leader of the minor- ity, took his place alongside William Hoff Cook and made things uncomfortable for McDonald. “This convention cried O’'Donnell. the floor until | 1zed.” There were more cries for Hickey from | all parts of the hall. In response to them | Hickey ascended the platform. Before he reached it, however, McDgnald started to | resume business. *“The first business of | the evening,” he yelled, but could not con- | tinue further as the jeers, catcalls and hoots ‘drowned his volce.

His next sen- | tence was lost in the clamor against his but the more he gesticulated the more the crowd hooted. HICKEY RESTORES ORDER. Hickey then strode forth from the | wings and picked up the heavy hammer and commenced to batter on the iron | plate, yelling for order at the same time. | Three cheers were given for Hickey and the opposition came hearty cheers for O'Donnell. Order was at last obtained. Hickey called O'Don- nell to the platform, and when Joseph E was at his side Hickey spoke as follow: “This is a Democratic convention. (Cries of “You bet,” It is.”) who I presume will be my honorable opponent.” O'Donnell motioned to Hickey to con- tinue, and Hickey further said: I thank the honorable gentleman for the con- fldence that he has placed in my sincerity in assuring you that I shall not seek any advan- e in opening this convention. As secretary of the County Committee and a delegate of this convention, 1 have a right to open the conven- tion. It is indeed a most delicate position, but I acsure you. gentlemen, | myself the best T know how and as far as I can under the imstance: Nominations for temporary chairman are in order. Kelly was recognized and with few in- terruptions spoke as follows: At the threshold of our deliberations we are confronted with the task of selecting a worthy Gelegate into whose keeping as presiding of- ficer over the deliberatio of this convention we shall entrust the gavel of parliamentary command. We are about to confer a high trust, to clevate one of our number upon the floor. To govern so diversificd a body requires a man of clear head, good Intellect, powerful moral resources, high equity and strong will; a man who can unite with harmonious de- cision and undiscriminating gentleness and courtesy all these elements upon this floor, upon whose deliberations he may be called upon of- ficially to rule. Capability and sternness will be our criterion. 1 have come upon this ros- trum to present to your consideration the name of a man who unites in himself these quali- fications. 1 have reference to the gentleman who new creditably fills the chairman’s chair. It requires no other than the syllabling of th name of Thomas W, Hickey to excite this ms- sembly, to inspire in all its component parts a thorough sense that in him you have a man pre-eminently possessed of the attributes neces- sary to govern our deliberations. In addition he hae fairly won the right to this recognition by previous services. I need not tell you of his campaigning year after year in this mu- nicipality. for that is already kngwn to you, I need not tell you of his ready sacrifice of time and business interests when called upon to accompany California’s grandest and noblest Democrat in-a campaign throughout the Szate and the heroic service he renderethin that campalgn. 1 am delighted to give you the name of the able, sterling Democrat from the Thirtieth Assembly District for chairman of this convention, Thomas W. Hickey. (Great applause.) ‘‘Are there any other nominations?” asked Hickey, “Well, I should say yes,” replied a dele- gate in the rear of the hall and. a loud shout of merriment arose. Matthew Brady of the Fortieth District was recognized, and-amid cries of ““Hoot mon!" he sec- onded the nomination of Thomas W, Hickey. Brady spoke in part as follows: It is with exceeding pleasure that'I arise for the purpose of seconding the nomination of an estcemed and beloved friend: a young Democrat, zealous in the cause of Democracy. This is ot entirely a matter of ,persona; friendship with me. I have a knowledge that the candidate whose name I am seconding possesses all the qualifications necessary for an ideal chairman, and it is with great pleas- ure that I second the name of my esteemed and genial friend Thomas W. Hickey for the position of temporary chairman of this conven. tion, O’'DONNELL HAS FRIENDS. John J. McCarthy of the Thirty-seventh District took the platform at this junc- ture and placed Joseph E. O'Donnell in nomination for temporary chairman. He spoke as follows: ¢ I have ‘the extreme pleasure and honor of nominating, as I belleve, one of the best Democrats iy San Francisco. In our district, the Thirty-seventh. we have been demanding -recognition for the past ten years from Demo- crats. The gentleman that I am placing in nomination to-night will treat all Democrats as such; he is a liberal man and a good Demo. crat. I have the extreme pleasure and honor of placing before you the name of Mr. Josaph E. O'Donnell as chairman of this convention. When the cheering for O'Donnell had subsided George E. Gallagher took the platform, and in seconding the nomina- tion, spoke in part as follows: Gentlemen, this tHing is getting entirely too serious. - think we have ot too much tragedy engendered here this evening. When the gen-. tleman who first took the rostrum to call the meeting to order usurped the right of the grand old Democratic party he did wrong. We have @ man here who has been accused of beiny asleep at the switch. No, sir: he has been kecping my friends awake, and very much awake. You might think I have come here to —= speaking.

We are the pioncers who to-night are golng to | sow the seed that is going. to bring back the Democrats that have been driven away within the last_five years. They nailed the ballot box high at the primary that God knows, while I am tall enough, 1 couldn’t see whether the ballot was dropped into the box or on to the sor. Therefore, gentlemen, without any fur- | ther remarks, 1 would second the nomination of my old friend, O'Donnell, and may he and Hickey have a tight race, and even if he fs, which T am not, even if he is a Horse and Cart, I hope he has been shod properly. (Laughter and applause.) John H. Mullen of the Thirty-sixth Dis- trict also seconded the nomination of | O'Donnell. He was interrupted by the | McNab contingent, but did not mind. He | appealed for the election of O'Donnell and | gave many reasons why he should be s lected chairman. Nominations were de- clared closed, and Joseph Slye of the For- second District and William D. Hynes of the Thirty-sixth District were appoint- | ed tellers, and kept tab on the votes. The roll call continued very smoothly until the Fortieth District was reached. There was a division in this district, and trouble was experienced in recording the vote. Wil- liam Ross startled the convention by vot- ing for David I. Mahoney for chairman. There a loud outburst of laughter. There was a squabble over the vote in this district. Ross claimed the right to vote the absentees, and Sidney M. Van Wyck Jr. protested. Ross rushed toward the platform with a proxy, and Kelly, who had taken the chair, declined to look at it. 7 “I don’t want to see that,” said Kelly with feeling. “Read it!" *“Read it!" “Insult!” and other such replies ¢ame from all parts of the hall. Keily then took the paper and read it. He informed the convention that it was an authorization to vote, but un- signed. . When the Forty-third District was reached Chairman John J. Gleason an- nounced sixteen votes for O'Donnell. Jo- seph T. O’'Connor arose and protested that he was a delegate to the convention and’ would be entitled to a seat until he was unseated. He said he wanted to be re- corded as voting for Hickey. Much feel- ing was shown by both sides and Gleason explained the matter. “Owing to an error of the Registrar's clerk.”. he sald, “Mr. O'Connor has been given the credentials as a delegate to this convention in place of Mr. Reagan, who was rightfully elected by the voters of this city, and I protest against Mr. ©’Connor voting in this con- vention.” RESULT OF VOTE. The vote was then announced as fol- lows: Hickey, 204%; O'Donnell, 133. Hickey was declared the temporary chairman. O'Donnell moved to make his election a unanimous one. Hickey was escorted to the platform by O'Donnell and Brady, and spoke in part as follows: I thank you, gentlemen of the convention, for this honor conferred upon me. To me and to every man having read the history of the Demoeratic party, the office of chairman of a Democratic convention, representing Democratic traditions, standing for Democratic principles, striving for Democratic ideals of government, is an exalted station. But 1 am aware that in thus raising me to the chair you have de- signed to honor mnot e personally, but the district from which I come, the distfict which contains more Democrats than any other As- sembly district in California, the district which 80 often in the past has given and which as often .in the future will give to Democratic candidates the pluralities that turn defeat into victory. In the name of the Thirtieth Dis- trict T thank_ you. And_in accepting this responsible office T now pledge myself to allow every man in this body fair play. I am the chairman of no fac- tion, the champion of no candidate. In the performance of my office I may commit er- Tors, but they will be honest errors of judg- ment, without bias and without malice; and 1 entreat your charitable judgment in consid- eration of my clean purpose. ‘We have gathered in this convention to ex- ercise a,serious, an important function of cit- izenship, that ‘of nominating candidates for election to the municipal offices of San Fran- cisco, - the city .where many of us were and reared. which all of us call home, which | all of us, I trust, hold dear with an effec- tion that is more than patriotism.

Honesty and fitness are the two main quali- ties that the people demand 1n municipul of- Through a course of events in which all of us have borne a part, I am proud to assert, the people of San Francisco have come to look to the Democratic party alone for honest and fit candidates for public office. The people know that the Republican party organiz- ation in this city is a marionette owned and controlled and operated by the astute chief o the Southern Pacific Railroad and managed for the benefit of corporations and politicians. The people know, too, that the so-called labor party, as to-day constituted, has been be- trayed into the hands of Republican politicians by false leaders and is now part and parcel of the Republican organization. That Republican organization is seeking to employ the so-called Labor party to divide Democratic strength by drawing workingmen away from the Demo- cratic party, which stands for all that they stand for. 'There is nothing in common be- tween the workingmen and the Republican party. There is much in common between the workingmen and the Democratic party. And I am convinced that the workingmen of this city have already seen the truth and that they wiil not put their trust in men who are Re- publicans in disguise and who will lead them into a blind path and betray them. The people, as I have said, look to this con- vention to give them honest and fit candi- dates. We are in a peculiarly fortunate and gratifying position. The Democratic party of this oity has proved its claim to the respect and confidence of that large majority of the citizens who wish to elect good and true men to public office and Who invaria}'~ vote right when they are not deceived. The Demoeratic party gave this city the best administration, the strongest, cleanest, most enlightened Board of Suvervisors it ever had, an administration that shines out between what went before and what came after as a bright stretch shines in a dark roadway. mination of a man by this convention mezns to the public that he is a fit and worthy man. Let us see to it that the candldates we shall nominate are fit and worthy men, for | the people rely on this convention to give them light and leading and to take measures for the safety of the city, and it is a sacred trust. The approaching campaign shall be a fight for the city. Clean government, an inviolate charter, honest administration of the city gov- ernment, the ousting.of spollsmen, the eco- | nomical expenditure of public money, the res- toration of that fine civic spirit that char- acterized the last Democratic administration— these shall be our shibboleths. And in this fight for the city we claim, and shall obtain, the adherence and support for our candidates not only of all Democrats, but of all cifizens of whatever kind that wish to see right done, wrong routed and the city redeemed from the spoiler. Once agaln, my fellow delegates, I thank you. DE MARTINI IS SECRETARY. ‘Walter J. de Martinl and Clarence V. Clough were placed in nomination for the position of temporary secretary of the convention. The vote resulted in the elec- tion of De Martini. The ballot stood: De Martini, 204%; Clough, 131%. De Martini was escorted to the plat- form and thanked the delegates for the honor in a facctious speech. Upon motion of Thomas C. Curran of the Thirty-fifth District the printed roll call of the convention, with the exception of the two districts where there were contests, was accepted as the official roll of the convention. There was a good deal of discussion over the motion and many amendments were made to ‘t, but the chairman was empowered to appoint a committee of five on contested elections. Thomas J. Kennedy of the Thirty-fourth District moved that the temporary offi- cers of the convention be made perma- nent and this started another squabble, The *“Horse and Carts” declined to have this done unti! permanent organization had been effected. Chairman Hickey stood by the programme and' ruled out all amendments to the motion. Osgood Putnam then made the motion that created an uproar. He moved that a committee of five be appointed to select a Board of Supervisors. George E. Gal- lagher complained that it was a hasty action and it looked as if an attempt was made to choke the programme down their throats. Willlam Hoff Cook also pro- tested against the motion and tried to amend it by having a committee of eighteen appointed, one from each district and no district to have more than one candidate. Colonel ChoynsKi tried to take a hand, but was ruled out of order. Gal- lagher thought he had the thing solved by making a motion to lay the entire sub- ject matter on the table. This was lost by a vote of 203 to 134. O’Donnell then offered as an amendment to' the amend- ment that a committee of eighteen be appointed without any qualitications. Cook accepted the amendment to his amendment. DELEGATES WALK OUT. After considerable further discussion a roll call was ordered on the amendment that the chair appoint.a committee of eighteen. During the roll- call many of the “Horse and Cart” delegates walked out, amid great confusion, and others, in- cluding whole delegations, refused to vote. It was given out that the withdrawal was “for the purpose of consultation,” but it was generally supposed to presage a bolt. The vote was announced, as follows: Ayes, T5%; noes, 202, and the amendment was declared los The roll was then called, amid great confusion, on the original motion of Put- nam for the appointment of a committee of five, and the motion was declared car- ried by the following vote: Ayes, 209; nges, 68%. Mr. Choynski moved a reconsideration of -the vote, which the convention by viva voce vote laid on the table.

HERE were sufficient delegates in control of Gavin McNab to do his bidding, and, despite the oppo- sition of the “Horse and Car their votes always won. Very few delegates were absent when the con- vention was called to order. Both fac- tions were ready for an exciting session and they were not disappointed. McNab had more than 260 delegates and the “Horse and Carts” were represented by | 133 delegates.

SCRATCH! SCRATCH!! Four [Men Compietely Cured of 20 Itching Rash by Cuticura. TOTAL COST $2.25. ¢« I take pleasure In letting you know how much Cuticura Remedies have done for me and my father, and two broth- ers. In the fall of '95 I began to be afflicted with an itching rash under my chin. It kept spreading until it was all over my body. I could not sleep, but was compelled to lie awake and scratch all the time. My father and two broth- ers were afflicted with the same thing at the same time. We all suffered ter- ribly for a year and a half, trying in the mean time all the remedies we could find, but received no benefit. I hap- pened to see Cuticura Remedies adver- tised and how they bad cured others from itching skin diseases, and we thought we would try them. [ bought three cakes of Cuticura Soap and three boxes of Cuticura Ointment and they cured the four of us completely.
