THEIR TICKET COMPLETED. The Windup of the Republican County Convention. Ballot Box Stuffing; in a Superviaoral Convention Causes Trouble. Capt. Marion and Col. Brooker Nearly Come to Blows—Walter 8. Moore for the Senate-Felton As semblymen Chosen. Tbe Republican county convention baa completed ite labors and adjourned sine die. Yesterday all of tbe district nominations weie made and were rati fied by tbe convention. The district conventions were more exciting and tbe contests were less easy of solution than in tbe general convention. Tbe general opinion of hundreds of leaders, now that the whole thing is over, ia that a ticket remarkable for its weakness has been placed in tbe field. It is con ceded by tbe Republicans that a good portion of it, if not every mac on the ticket, will be defeated. Yesterday there were numerous sur prises, notably the defeat of Justices Owens and Stanton in the city conven tion, the nomination of Bob Stewart, the colored policeman, for constable—he beat A. C. Vignes, of the electric rail road ; the nomination of Walter S. Moore for senator in the Thirty-seventh dis trict on the first ballot, he running in a field of five candidates; and the defeat of Henry E. Garter, for the assembly, in the Setenty-fifth district; tbe nomina tion of Jim Meredith for the assembly in the Seventy-third district; the nom ination of vV\ W. Stock well for super visor in the Fourth district. Of the seven candidates for the legis lature nominated yesterday, five are known to be Felton men. Of course for awhile they will vote for a Southern California man for United States sena tor, in the event that the legislature has a Republican ma jority. But then every one realizes that there is not tbe slightest chance for a Southern California Re publican to become the United States senator this time. There are four Re publicans in the fight, all from in and about San Francisco, and one of the quartette will be elected if a Republican legislature should be chosen. So the question really is, what will the seven Republican representatives do, should any of them be elected, after the South ern California candidate has been knocked out, aa he ia certain to be in the end. If tbey keep their pledges five will go to Felton, and perhaps two to De Young. The district conventions made a blunder in their nominations for super visors that will be very much to the ad vantage of tbe Democrats. Tbe country has alwaya been conceded and always bad a majority of tbe board of super visors. This year there are two hold overs, Forrester from the city and Cook from the country. Now the Re publicans bave nominated Francisco and Stockwell from tbe city, and if they are elected the city will have three members of tbe board, while the vast outside country will have to struggle along with two. Francisco's district is all in the city, and the nominee of the Democtats will necessarily have to be a city man. But tbe Fifth (Stockwell's) district, comprises the country clear up to the Kern county line, and it seems tbat the Democracy can find aome com petent man in that vast stretch of ter ritory, and the nomination of such a man means his triumphant election. The people of this vast county, irrespective of politics, are not prepared to ccc their affairs conducted by a majority of the board consisting of one speculator, one real estate agent and one grocery keeper, all living under the ahadow of the coun ty court house, and within tbe half mile circle. This short-sighted policy on the part of the Republicans will be rectified by the Democrats. The County Convention. Although the bour for tbe reassem bling of tbe convention had been fixed at 9 o'clock yesterday, it waa 10 a.m. before Chairman Murphey rapped for order. At tbat time the entire Pasa dena delegation was absent. When order waß obtained Chairman Murphey announced that he had ap- Sointed Judge Variel, Judge Silent and [r. Wright of Paaadena aa a law com mittee to prepare the proper certificates ol nomination required by law. Prize Orator Hawkins of the Sixth ward thought tbat, aa this was a legal holiday, tne convention should be opened with prayer. He made a motion to that effect. A. delegate moved that Prize Orator Hawkins offer the prayer. Both amendment and the original motion were voted down. On motion of Colonel Mudge, Chair man J. L. Murphey was given tbe thanks of tbe convention for the able manner in which he had presided over it. Chairman Murphey returned hia thanks to the convention for the honor conferred upon him, and gave some ad vice to the young men on the ticket. He said that they should not get the swelled head, nor get the idea that tb,ey were to be bosses. Tbe Republican party wanted no boas or ring rule. The thanks of the delegates were also voted to all of tbe officers of the conven tion. Then there was a scrap over the coun ty central committee membership. Un der the gerrymander of election pre cincts, adopted by the board of super visors, a number of election precincts were consolidated, ao as to force Demo crats to go as far aa possible to tbe polls to vote. Aa each precinct waa entitled to a member, the question was, whether the old precincts or the new should be the boundary lines. About an hour was consumed in debating this matter. It was finally decided that the members of the county committee should be selected from the new election precincts. The convention then resolved iteelf into the subsidiary district conventions and took a recess until 2 p. m. The District Conventions. In the Seventieth assembly district there was no fight for the nomination. Col. 0. M. Simpson of Pasadena was nominated by acclamation. In tbe Seventy-first assembly district there was no contest. Maj. Samuel An drews of Pomona waa nominated with out any fight. He ia for county divi sion. In tha Seventy-second assembly dis trict there waa quite a struggle between four candidates— H. 0. Downing of Wilmington, E. G. Denio of Long Beach, William H. Kelso of Ingleweod, C.F. Butan of Florence and W. H. LOS ANGELES HEBALD: SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBEB 10, iflSg. Wright of Compton. Three ballots were taken, but Mr. Wright finally beat Mr. Rutan, receiving 25 votea to the latter'a 23. A BED-HOT FIGHT. In the seventy-third assembly dis trict there were aome lively timea. W. F. Foley and S. P. Reea were the two opposing candidates until yeaterday morning. Foley had a practically sure thing on the nomination, and he was very objectionable to the ring because of hit anti-railroad sentiments. So Mr. Reea waa thrown aside and Jim Mere dith was brought out. Of course, every body sympathised with Meredith in hiß defeat for county clerk, and he was sure to be nominated. Two things were accomplished by tbia. Meredith was recognized, and the anger of his friends over his defeat waa appeased. Then Foley waa laid on the ahelf. But Mr. Foley did not give in without a atrong kick, which he registered with vigor. After he and Mr. Meredith had been placed in nomination yesterday afternoon in the district convention, Foley got up, and in withdrawing hia name he made a very bitter speech. mb. Foley's ire. He aaid that hia defeat had been brought about by an unholy combina tion of evil elements in the party. He aaid he had not a word to aay against Mr. Meredith, but he wanted to state that Meredith had merely been used as a tool. He said that the time would come some day when the Republicans of this county could bave a fair expression of their will recorded in a convention, independent of the domination of a ring or the Southern Pacific company. Mr. Foley then withdrew his name and left the hall. NAMED BY ACCLAMATION. Meredith waa nominated by acclama tion. Some delegates objected because Mr. Meredith waa not preaent to pledge himaelf, but his frienda vouched for him. and the district convention adjourned ■ In tbe Seventy-fourth assembly dis trict, C. W. Pendleton was nominated, defeating Jamea A. Crimminger, receiv ing 29 votes out of a total of 48. MB. WEIGHT VOTES FOB HIMSELF. In the Seventy-fifth assembly district, R. N. Bulla waa nominated, defeating H. £. Carter by a vote of 26 to 22. As predicted in. the Hebald, one of Second ward delegatea, T. F. Phillips, voted for himself, and three of the Third ward delegation broke away from Mr. Carter and voted for Bulla. Thia nomination has caused a great, deal of ill-feeling. Charges of the purchase of votes are made by come of Mr. Cartel's frienda. Tbe Third ward delegation is anxious to know who tbe three traitors are who went back on Carter. AN easy winner. The Thirty seventh district senatorial convention selected Walter S. Moore out of a field of five candidates, for the atate senate. Gov. Gosper, Capt. John Cross, Major E. W. Jones, G. M. Holton and Col. Moore were presented to the con vention. Only one ballot waa necessary. It resulted aa follows: Walters. Moore 60 Capt. John Cross 30 Gov. Oosper 4 G. M. Bolton 4 X. W. Jones 1 Total vote 99 Necessary to a choice DO Col. Moore'a nomination waa made unanimous. A NEWSPAPER MAN GETS SOMETHING. In tbe eecond supervisorial diatrict it took four ballots to nominate A. W. Francisco for supervisor. C. E. Crow ley, A. W. Francisco, Dr. Kierulff, and R. E. Wiraching were placed in nom ination. On the fourth ballot tbe fight narrowed down between Wirtcbing and Francisco. The latter was nominated, receiving 43 votes, to 18 for Mr. Wirach ing. THE BALLOT STUFFED. In the Fourth supervisoral district there was a red-hot fight between Jamea Hay and John A. Pirtle. Only one ballot was taken, and Mr. Hay, of Ar tesia, waa nominated. But there were charges of fraud made, and the conven tion came very near breaking up in a row. Captain F. N. Marion, ex-assembly man for the old Seventy-sixth district, waß managing Mr. Pirtle'a candidacy. Col. John T. Brooker, of Artesia, waa looking after the interests of Mr. Hay. The various candidates were placed in nomination aa follows: W. W. Howard, J. A. Pirtle, Jamea Hay. CAPTAIN MARION'S KICK. After tbe nominations bad been made, Captain Marion objected to the manner in which the vote waa being taken. He said he wanted no Louisiana methods in taking the ballott. Then Colonel Brooker attacked Captain Marion's reputation and integrity. A general fight was becoming eminent. Captain Marion said he only wanted a fair deal for his man, and that it waa unnecessary for Colonel Brooker to at tempt to bulldoze him, or to run in any Arkansaa ballot box stuffing methods, with which, he aaid, the col onel waa undoubtedly familiar. An en deavor was made to crowd the Pirtle following away from the hat in which the ballots were being put, and thia very near brought on a fight. The bal lot waa then taken, and it waa dis covered that there were aeventy-eigbt votea in the hat, or fifteen more than there were in the district convention. TISSUE BALLOT SYSTEM. Captain Marion again protested and aaid that he did uot think that it waa right to bave tiaaue ballots worked in. He waa oppoaed to anything of that kind, and demanded a new ballot. The new ballot waa refused but Col onel Brooker agreed to a recount. On thia recount sixty-two ballots were counted and the balance were dropped on the floor. THE KNIFE WHETTED FOB HAY. Again Captain Marion protested against a void ballot of that kind and left the convention in disgust. James Hay was then declared the nominee, re ceiving 36 votea to 18 for Pirtle and 10 for Howard. Pirtle'a frienda claim that the nomination of Hay waa secured by fraud. They bave a sharp knife which they will use in assisting to defeat Mr. Hay on election day. AFTER ELEVEN BALLOTS. In tbe Fifth supervisorial diatrict, it took eleven ballots to name the winner — W. W. Stockwell. A. Scott of Ante lope. J. C. Sherer of Glendale, W. W. Stockwell of the First ward; G. E. Steams of Garvanza, and Oscar Macy of the Eighth ward were presented. The First ward held the key to the situation, and declined to give in until their man won. On the eleventh ballot he did win, receiving votes, to 30 for Oscar Macy. The Oity Cesveßtfes* At 3 p. m. Chairman Murphey again called the general convention to order, Luxury <X Necessity. 1 When Apollinaris was first brought to Amer ica a great American physician (Marion Sims) declared it to be " not only a luxury but a neces sity." .Since then its sale has risen from 2to 18 millions. Now Apollinaris "reigns supreme" and is " übiquitous."—British Medical Journal. and the city convention waa organized to nominate city justices and constables. The roll waa called and all of the wards were found to be represented. R. L. Horton was chosen to act aa chair man. Mr. Thorn of the Sixth ward waa made eecretary. W. T. Williams' motion was adopted tbat every ballot contain two names for city justice, and that no ballot be counted unless it contained two names. FOB CITY JUSTICE. The convention then proceeded to business. J. L. Murphey placed in no mination H. C. Austin. W. J. Variel, of the Third, named M. T. Owens for city justice. T. J. Oarran nominated Oeorge F. Fhibbs, of whom he spoke in the most eulogistic terms. A. M. Austin nominated S. A. Garbutt for city justice. Numerous seconding speeches were made. Tbe candidates came forward and put up their $5 each. TUB FIRST BALLOT. The first ballot resulted as follows: H. C. Austin 9» M. T. Owens 55 George P. Pbibbs 94 8. A. Garrett 54 Total vote 149 Necessary to a choice, 75. The announcement of the vote was re ceived with applause, and the nomina tions were made unanimous. TOWNSHIP JUSTICE. Nominations for township justice were next in order. T. J. Carran presented the name of L. Stanton. W. A. Spalding placed in nomination S. 0. H. Langworthy, of the First ward. Mr. Thorn, of the Sixth, nominated Wm. Young, of his ward. Tbe usual quota of seconding speeches were made, and then the candidates told the delegates what they would do if they were elected. FIRST BALLOT. The ballot was taken, reeulting as follows: L. Stanton 70 8. C. H. Langworth 20 William Young 66 Total vote 156 Necessary to a choice, 79. SECOND BALLOT. There being no choioe, a second bal lot waa taken. The name of Mr. Lang worth, waa withdrawn. L. Stsnton 69 William Young 84 Total vote 153 Necessary to a choice, 77. Mr. Young waß declared the nominee of the convention amid great applause. THE CONSTABULARY FIGHT. Two constables were to be nominated, and it was tbe next order of business. W. T. Williams placed in nomination Robert W. Stewart (colored). He moved that the rules be suspended and that he be nomineted by acclamation. The motion was lost. Then came a squabble, and tbe chair decided that nobody could be nominated by acclamation if anyone objected. W. £. Darracott, of Glendale, was named. £. A. Meserve placed in nomination Charles Smith. C. E. Day nominated Denis Kearney. P. W. Pendleton placed in nomination A. O.'Vignes. Tbe candidates then came up and paid their assessment and the ballot was taken, resulting as follows: firVt ballot. R. W. Stewart 77 Charles Smith 10 Denis Kearney 37 W. X. Darracott 39 A. 0. Vignes 36 L. D. Rogers 99 Total vote cast 159 Necessary to a choice 80 L. D. Rogers having leceived a major ity of all the votea was declared nomin ated. No other candidate having re ceived a majority, a second ballot was ordered.l Charles Smith withdrew in favor of R. W. Stewart. SECOND BALLOT. The second ballot resulted as follows: R. W. Stewart 99 Denis Kearney 18 A. 0. Vignes 19 Total vote 126 Necessary to a choice 63 A BIG ROW. A quarrel arose during the time that the ballot was being taken. Pandemon ium reigned for ten minutes. The whole trouble was occasioned by the voting of proxies. It took some time to secure order. Officer Stewart intended to with draw his name, but his friends would not permit him to do so. He was pulled off the platform. Judge Silent claimed that Phil Stan ton was endeavoring to even up an old score, and was voting seventeen proxies for Stewart. S. A. Garrett was of the opinion that Mr. Stanton had a right to cast the votes he had proxies for. P. A. Stanton made a defense of him self. He said that be had the right to vote the proxies. E. F. C. Klokke said that Stanton had no right to use his proxies to even up old Bcores. P. A. Stanton claimed that he had a right to cast hiß proxies as he saw fit. The name of A. 0. Vignes was with drawn before the ballot was taken, his brother stating for him that he did not want a nomination procured in the way he would have to get this one if he won. Scene. A DISGRACEFUL ROW. For a long time it was absolutely im possible to hear yourself think in the hall, tbe delegates simply raised such a howl that tbe convention resembled a gathering of about a hundred lunatics. The chairman rapped in vain. The four sergeants-at-arms were appealed to, but mob of excited delegates. The colored contingent went wild with excitement and rage. They received the withdrawal of Vignes with derisive cheers. But when the remit ef tin ballot wat announced, then the colored brother did go wild sure enough. They yelled and cheered and threw paper in the air. Prize orator Hawkins turned himself loose and let out a yell that awakened a sick man in Pasadena. THE WORK FINISHED. Thia completed tbe work of tbe city convention and it adjourned. Then the general convention was re assembled. There were about forty delegates in tbe ball when this took place. It waa 7 o'clock, and everybody was weary and tired. As soon as the reports from the various district conventions were read and ap proved, the convention adjourned sine die. Ihia closed the moat remarkable gathering of tbe Republican party ever held in any county in the atate of Cali fornia. Township Conventions. In only two townships were nominees for townahip officea made yesterday. They were as follows: Fairmount townahip—Justices of the peace: J. W. Ong and O. L. Liveaey. Constables: M. F. Andrada and J. N. Bnttars. La Ballona—Justices of tbe peace: W. P. Ross and W. J. Bryant. Constables: J. O. Lamb and W. J. Howlett. In tbe other townships nominations will be made at a later day. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. PROCEEDINGS YESTERDAY AT THE DIBECTOBS' MEETING. Harbor Statistics to Be Printed — A Beauty and Type-Writer's Contest at the Fair—An Incorrect Climatic Map. The board of directors of the chamber of commerce met yesterday afternoon, there being present Directors Wells, For man, McGarvin, Jevne, Graff and Fran cieco. Director Wells occupied the cbair, and C. D, Willatd acted as secretary. After the transaction of routine busi ness, Judge Graff tendered a report in behalf of tbe committee which arranged for the meeting with the harbor com mission. At tbe conclusion of his re port be recommended that the proceed ings of the meeting be printed at the ex pense of the chamber, together with auch additional material as might tend ,to show the; general prosperity of tbe country and ita need for the deep-water harbor. The report was adopted, and the recommendations ordered carried out. It waa decided that tbe matter of tbe additional statistics to go into thia pamphlet be referred to the committee on statistics, together with the secre tary, with the request that they act im mediately. It waa moved and carried that the committee on the diatrict fair be in structed to advertise » prize of $10 for tbe best suggestion aa to tbe beat scheme for entertainment at the coming fair. A communication from Thomas Tay lor, with regard to the coal and iron measures of Utah, was read and ordered filed, with the thanks of tbe board to the writer. Tbe secretary stated tbat Dr. J. P. Widney wished to call the attention of the board to the fact that the Pacific Steamship company gave round trip rates from both San Diego and Santa Barbara, but allowed no round trip from Los Angeles, San Pedro or Redondo. He waa instructed to write to the com pany and ask for an explanation of the matter. The president called attention to the climatic map of tbe state, published by the state board of trade, in which the state was districted in colors according to the mean annual temperature, the result of which was to place the Sacra mento and San Joaquin valleys in the same climatic division with all the coast regions of Southern California, which would give people at a distance very er, roneous ideas of the real climatic con ditions of this section. On motion of Director Forman, the president was requested to write to the state board of trade and ask whether some change could not be effected in this map to cor rect this mistake. NOTBS. The applications for space for the hor ticultural display at Hazard's pavilion are being filled to the satisfaction of the management. The Pomona board of trade makes application for a space of 100 square feet. The Long Beach asso ciation makes an application for 120 square feet, and the Downey board of trade makes application for 130 square feet. A representative of Pasadena applies for 120 square feet. The California Ink company, of Santa Paula, applies for 100 square feet, and 225 square feet has been applied for in tbe art department. The new feature of the entertainment programme will be a type-writers' con test, which, with the beauty show, makes two features entirely new to this part of the country. The board of directors yesterday after noon instructed the secretary to offer a prize of $10 for the beet suggestion for evening entertainments to be given at the horticultural fair.
