This was hot shot and well aimed. | The assembly held its breath at Bar- | | ry’s audacity, trying to guess what | punishment might be severe enough | to fit his crime. None of the Hearst| | faction got up courage to strike back | at Barry befor. the blows had been ' driven home by another of the un-{ | manageables. ! | Edward E. Leake, editor of the! Woodland Democrat, had come down ! | from Yolo County equipped with a| large can of vitriol, which he pro- | ceeded forthwith to empty into the ' wounds made by the San Francisco editor.

"“We are arrogating to ourselves powers we do not possess and should not attempt to assert.” TARPEY TO THE RESCUE. Then up rose Tarpey—M. F. Tacpe: Alameda, nd marshal of {Hea cohqrts in California. Smooth and suave was Tarpey, pouring oil on | the troubled waters of the committes. But ail he could say was that his idol and c¢hief had not been hos- Governor. said Tarpey, “Mr. | that. the | ceally | e’s candidacy for | Hearst came to me personally during| that campaign and made many sug- gestions for the promotion and Suc- of the Judge's canvass.” | Then- Tarpey forgot that it is not | the late George Hearst, but his son, william Randolph—a very different person—who. aspires to the Presidea- tial nomination. “Regarding Stephen M.

Leake said afterw that some who had promised to stand by him and vote against the resolutions got cold feet. The rest was easy. Audible sighs of relief were heard all over the room when Chairman Murphy announced the result of the vote, and then the com- mittee eageriy rushed through the re- mainder of the busin: W. H. Alford secured the adgption of a vote of thanks to General R. . War- fleld of the California Hotel for his hospitality in giving gratis the use of rooms at the hotel for the headquarters of the State committee. The secretary then began reading the call for the State convention, but as the majority were anxious to get out- doors and find relief from the recent strenuous period of chastisement at the hands of Barry and Leake, ex-Governor Budd moved to dispense with the read- Aftr the insertion of the city of Santa Cruz as the place and the I6th birst of | of Mayr as the date for the convention | It reads as fol- at the suggestion of Senator George;m‘, Hearst himself.” | | Tarpey closed with a | prophecy that made the wise ones|the call was adonted. | snicker.. “Ninety per cent of all the |lows: Democrats in California are for | lHeartt." he said, and then subsided, ywhue a few of the most hardened of | the elect clapped their hands to show their appreciation. | Judge Maguire then spoke briefly. Such a statement as a man still smart- ing under his wounds could make was made by the Judge, but it was far from what Field Marshal Tarpey had planned for.

Committeeman Harry C. Wilber pre- sented a fitting finale to the proceed- ings in an announcement that the Mon- ticello Club would keep open house during the afterncon and evening for the benefit of the wearied statesmen, and his hearers hardly waited for a motion to adjourn before they were making record time in the direction of }the club and the free drinks supposed to be awaiting them there. —_—e————— Burglars Plead Guilty.
