There is but one question open, so far as the delegation trom the Golden State is concerned, and that is in re- lation to its attitude toward the vari- s candidates for the nomination for Vice President. It was the general belief when the on met in the Auditorium at 10 o'clock this morning that it would declare in favor of Fairbanks of In- After some discussion, how- ever, the Californians decided to fol- ow the majority of the big Es States and await an official declaration diana of Mr. Roosevelt's desires before com- mitting themselves on what appears to be the only open question that will come before the convention. A ma- jority of California’s delegation favors Fairbanks, but does not desire in any way to counter to the wishes of the President. In all probability Mr. Roosevelt's wishes will be made known to-morrow.

W. J. Bryan was the principal speaker and when he ap- peared on the platform was enthusi- astically applauded. Before making his address he said he would not name his favorite candidate for President, but he made a savage attack on the “reorganizers” and vigorously opposed the nomination of Judge Parker, who was held up as the candidate of the corporations and not of the people. Judge Samuel Seabury of the City Court, who presided, spoke of Parker as the candidate of the ‘“plutocracy.” He advised the meeting to repudiate Parker and urged the sending of a del- egation to St. Louis to protest against his nomination and to assure the con- | not carry the State of New York. ADOPT PLATFORM. The platform adopted at the meeting opens by condemning the expansion | policy of the Republican administra- tion. In speaking of the receat Demo- crdtic convention, the platform recites that the convention instructed for Par- ker by a vote of 301 to 149 and that many of those who voted against this resolution of instruction represented the Democratic districts of the State where enthusiastic support of the nom- inee is essential to party success. The platform goes on to say that Parker's candidacy is discredited by the char- acter of his sponsors and that neither he nor those who spoke for him have presented his candidacy so as to de- serve success. The platform continues: “Judge Parker is silent. Senator Hill speaks for him. We know Senator Hill's record. As Governor of the State of New York he blocked the secret bal- lot. As Senator he opposed his party's position on the tariff and income tax. The people of New York expressed | their opposition of Senator Hill en he was beaten for the office of Govern- or in 1894 by 156,000 votes. Neither harmony, confidence nor success can now follow his discredited leadership.” The platform continues by saying that Parker was elected Chief Justice of his opponent did not appear on the ballot of the Citizens’ Union in New York City, and then says: | “Judge Parker is the candidate of| tariff beneficiaries, imperialists, mo- nopolists and those who profit by spe- cial privileges and seek to uphold them as vested rights. “The present issue is whether the | beneficiaries of special privileges shall control the Covernment or whether it shall be administered for the protection of the rights of all the people.” BELMONT DENOUNCED. The party should refuse to follow the mont, declare the resolutions, adding| platform failed to| make a single issue with Republican | policies, contained no denunciation of “President Roosevelt's usurpation of | power,” no reference to the breach of | faith with Colombia, no opposition to| the government of colonies by this re- public and no condemnation of monop- olies in private hands. The platform adopted to-night denounces protection | ot monopoly by tariff and concludes: “Be it resolved, That a committee of twenty-five, of which the chairman to present this protest to the St. Louis convention.” In the course of the resolutions this on is made as to a candidate: “The candidate of the Democratic | party must be a man who has stated his principles and can be trusted to e AR EPET PL CANNON WILL TALK.
