Tbe congressional convention was to
have decided tho matter tonight, and
tbe delegates met for this purpose, but
the point wsb raised that the committee
on credentials bad not reported, and
therefore tbe proceedings, if held, might
be questioned. Patton's friends seemed
glad to have a stay for another day,
which would indicate that they are not.

judgment is that Patton will finally be
nominated by reason of his support
from Santa Cruz and other counties out

Late tonight it is reported that Ma

but nothing authoritative is known.
henry Wilson's opportunity.
The Loa Angeles delegation is urging
Heary Wilson to allow bis name to be
presented to tbe convention for secretary
of state. He can get the nomination if
he wants it, but he has not consented to
ruu. There is a desire to put some man
on the ticket from the southern part of
the state.
President Cleveland's action in calling
off Collector Wise as a candidate for
governor while holding a federal office,
has caused a cold shiver to run down tho
backs of some members of the federal
brigade who have beeu too much in evi

THE CONVENTION.
preliminary Organization Effected — Re
view of the Situation.
By the Associated Press,
San Francisco, Aug. 21.—The Demo
cratic state convention met here shortly
after noon today. The nomination of a
full state ticket and the adoption of a
platform is the won before the conven
tion. Tonight interest centers in the
contest for the gubernatorial nomina
tion, and tbe nomination of three can
didates for railroad commissioners and
three candidates for election to the state
board of equalization. The contest be
tween tbe tactions known as "railroad"
and "anti-railroad," is mainly over the
naming of candidates for these two im
portant state boards.
For governor tbe leading candidates
tonight are ex-Congressman Budd of
Stockton and "Barney" D. Murphy of
San Jose. The name of Congressman
Maguire is also prominently mentioned,
but be is making no fight for tbe nom
ination.
anybody's victory.
Tonight, however, it can be said that
no one bas won the battle. This ia due
to the fact that the practical, siate
making politicians are handicapped,
none of tbe reputed busses having suf
ficient strength to wield the whip. The
convention bus 661 delegates. Of these
156 are from San Francisco, but owing to
tbe fact that there are four fighting fac
tions in this big delegation it cannot be
held together and wielded to control the
convention. The only other large dele
gations are Los Angeies, with 42 votes;
Alameda, with 37; Santa Clara, with
22; Sacramento and Sonoma, with 10
each ; San Joaquin, with 17, and Fresno,
with 15. None of these delegations have
been able to effect any strong combina
tions.
prohaule resolutions.
It is confidently predicted that the
convention will adopt strong resolutions
against the refunding of tbe Pacific rail
roads' indebtedness, aad nrging govern
ment control of the Pacific roads. The
railroad faction, however, is bound to be
determined in its opposition to this pro
gramme. Resolutions have also been
drawn upholding the Cleveland admin
istratio:. and condemning the United
States senators who succeeded in defeat
ing the purposes of the Wilson bill sb to
sugar, iron and coal. Resolutions have
been drafted openly condemning Gor
man, Smith and Brice.
CALLED TO ORDER.
Max J'opper, chairman of the Btate
central committee, called the convention
to order at 12 :30 thia afternoou. K. F.
del Valle of Loa Angeles wae elected
chairman ol the convention by acclama
tion. George S. Patton of Los Angeles,
In bis speech placing Del Valle in nom
ination, made the opening attack on
the railroad companies. He declared
that in the coming campaign the South
ern Pacific people mnit for the first
time come from behind their ramparts
and fight in tbe open. This declaration
was load)- cheered and Chairman del
Valle, in his opening remarks, provoked
uproarious applause when he declared
tbat he endorsed every anti-railroad
sentiment that Patton had uttered.
Charles F. Montgomery of Contra
Costa county and Robert J. O'Reilly ef
ban Franoisco were elected secretaries
ef the convention.
THE FIERT DISSENSION.
The convention's first dissension oc
curred at thia juncture. All along the
country delegates had been oomplaining
of the inadequate accommodations af
forded in the Baldwin theater. Over
100 chairs bad been crowded into tbe
wain floor of the auditorium in order to
seat tbe lit; I delegates. Tbe delegates
from the mining distriots of Tehama,
Nevada, Butte and Amador counties
were crowded into chairs plaoed witbia
the orohestra rail. Only by craning
their neske could they see the presiding
officer, and this they did not like. The
Loa Angeles men were behind Nevada in
the left orchestra chairs, and the Ala
nieda and Marin delegates were on the
right. The country delegates demanded
tbat a more suitable convention hall be
provided. They finally succeeded in
forcing tbe appointment of a committee
>f five to investigate and if poaslbls get
a better hall.
SPECTATORS DISAPPOINTED.
The convention took a recess nntil 3
o'clock, greatly to the disappointment of
tbe great crowd that filled tbe galleries.
The boxes of the theater were crowded
with ladies and a few federal officials.
Little effort had been made to decorate
tbe theater. Across the front of the
stage, on which provision bad been
■nade for the presiding officers and mem
bers of the press, the stars and stripes
were draped from the drop curtain. A
large picture of President Cleveland waa
suspended in the center.
THE EVENING SESSION.
The convention waa again called to
order at 3 p.m. Chairman Del Valle
atated that he bad appointed a commit
tee to csnaider tbe qneation of removal
to another hall, aa follows: Harvey I.
Jackson, San Francisco; tiarrett Melo
erney. Pun Francisco; W. R, Burke,
l.os Angeles; John Even, Napa; C. W.
Rsed, Han Francisco,
Jktclaerny announced tbat tbe com
' L i
mittee would receive complaints this
evening regarding the Baldwin theater,
and therealtei consider tbe question of
removal. This did not please many
ol the interior delegates, wbo desired to
fight the matter out then and there,
but the committee maintained its posi
tion, and gained the desired delay,
which the country delegates say is de
feating the purpose of the resolution
creating the committee.
It was agreed to adjourn until tomor
row at 10 a.m., when the chairmau has
promised to announce the committee on
permanent organization and platform.
THE CREDENTIAL*. COMMITTEE.
Before adjournim-, the following com
mittee on credentials was announced :
G. W. Mordecai, chairman, Madera:
N. 0. Bradley, Tulare ;J. W. Hughes,
San Diego; John McMnrray, Trinity;
•lames H. Wilkins, Marin; Frank R.
Weiue, Sierra; W. J. McGee, Amador;
B. F. Harris, t'alavaras; Dan (", Dona
hue, Yuba; C. H. Jamieaon, Lake;
John Hachett, Alameda; John Wolf,
Solano; George T. Marve, Colin M.
Boyd, W. P. Lawler, W. fl. Byington,
Joseph P. Kelley. San Francisco; Sain
M, Rucker, San Jose; Thomas Renieon,
Monterey; A. Ramish, Loa Angeles; C.
A. Snook, Santa Barbara.
BEORUANIZEBS SEATED.
I The committee on credentials held a
| session this aitemoon and another last
j ing three honre this evening. Tonight's
> meeting was devoted entirely to ihe
j consideration oi the respective claims oi
j the rival delegations trom Sacramento.
H. M. Lame and .1. Doty spoke for the
reorganizes, and .1. 11. Stevens for the
old line Democrats. After listening to
' the argument-, the committee went into
j executive session. A proposition from
j the committee to seat half of each dele
gation was declined by both parties.
Finally, by a vote of 20 to 1, the com
mittee declared iv favor of the reorgani
zes.
The contest in the Alameda delegation
between Superintendent of the Mint
] Daggett and Frank J. Mofiitt, over
the chairmanship of the delegation, re
sulted iv the election of Mofiitt by a
vote of 1!) to Hi, oyer R. M. Fitzgerald,
Daggett's caudidate. The feeling be
tween tbe two factions is co bitter that
the minority openly aver their determi
nation to oppose the majority on every
proposition which may arise during the
convention.
PROBABLE A, P. A. ACTION.
All day long considerable talk was
heard regarding the probable action of
tbe A. P. A. on various nominations
which are being urged. Surveyor of
Port English, who aims at the conven
tion leadership, urged strongly the
adoption of a plank in the platform con
demning the A. P. A. This proposal
wae deprecated by the conservative ele
ment, as injudicious, but late in tbe
evening English gained his point so far
as the acceptance of the plank ia con
cerned, Tbe platform committee will
not be named until tomorrow, but most
of the sections have already been
drafted, one of them referring to tbe A.
P. A. There will undoubtedly be a
strong fight against its adoption in com
mittee, and a still harder fight in the
convention.
Planks denouncing the ReiHy funding
bill, the abolition of the railroad com
mission and a general tussle with the
Southern Pacific are also to be in tbe
platform.
THE TWO MUHI'HYS.
James E. Murphy, superior judge of
Del Norte, is one of the leading can
didates for supreme justice. Owing to
thai A. P. A. talk he fears the convention
will not stand two Mu'*>hys on the
ticket—Barney for governor and James
for justice—so he is making a vigorous
fight tonight to change the usual order
of business, making tbe nominations for
the supremo bench take precedence over
those for governor. There is no likelihood,
however, tbat this departure from cus
tom will be made.
Great pressure is being brought upon
Judge Wallace to induce him to recon
sider his refusal to be a candidate for
supreme justice. His friends believe be
will consent to be a candidate and are
confident of his nomination.
BUDD AND MVKPHY LEADING.
James H. Budd of Stockton and Bar
ney Murphy of San Jose are still the
leading candidates in the race for tbe
guberuatorial nomination. The friends
of the former held a oaucus in the Lick
douse tonight and claim 275 votes
pledged to Budd, 331 being necessary to
a choice. Murphy's adherents claim
the inside of tbe race bnt refuse to make
a numerical announcement. Enthus
iastic Murphy men are wearing badges
with "Barney Murphy" in blue letters,
to offset the red badges of Jim Budd's
followers. Most of the delegates are un
badged, however.
MAGUIRE A CANDIDATE.
For the first time since the formal an
nouncement of bis candidacy, Congress
man Maguire'a boom for governor shows
positive strength tonight. The Sab
Francisco delegates made a great play of
arousing enthusiasm for him, bat many
I asserted that there was "a nigger in the
woodpile," and that their support of
Magnire was not genuine. There is
talk of Budd withdrawing in favor of
Maguire after the first two ballots, but
Budd's friends emphatically deny this.
THE MAN 6P DKSTINV.
A statement whicb had more cur
rency and which received ftreater cre
dence, was the announcement that
Murphy, at the last moment, would re
tire in favor of Dennis Spencer of Napa,
whom many consider the man of des
tiny and a very available candidate. It
is urged that his residence would offset
that of Mr. Eatee and that his record is
excellent.
It is understood that D. A. Ostrom of
Yuba will be content with a compli
mentary vote on the first ballot.
Nomination of a congressman for the
Sixth district was deferred from this
evening nntil tomorrow night, pending
tha report of the committee on creden
tials.
D. M. Delmas of Santa Clara is be
lieved to be Del Valle's choice for chair
man of the platform committee,

LOS ANGELES'- ITERALD. WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST c 2, 1894.
NEW QUEEN OF THE TROTTERS
Sweet Little Alix Dethrones
Nancy Hunks.
She Reels Off a Mile la 2:05 1-1 on
a Slow Track.
Condition, cam,:,,,,!, This Is tha It St
exhibition Kv.ir Mad . • Olh»r
Good Frrfo rmaucoa ou
the Card.
By the Associated Press.
Chicago, Aug. 21.—Alix today trotted
in 2:054 at Washington Park, and the
exhibition was pronounced by nenrly
all the horsemen preaent to be the
greatest ever made in the sulky. It re
duced the track record of 2:ot>' 4 , held
by Nancy Hanks, and while it fell a sec
ond and a quarter short of the world's
record, it was really a better perform
ance, conditions considered.
Washington Park is at least a second
and a half slow. It haa not beeu so fast
as formerly since the new loam was
placed on it before the June running
meeting, and is in need of a good hard
rain. All the drivers agree that the
track is slow. John Kelly, wbo handled
Directum last year, said :
"This is the greatest mile ever trotted.
Had Alix been sent against tha record
lastweek at Terre Haute she whould
have undoubtedly beaten it."
McDowell, who handled Alix today
said tbe track was two seconds slow at
the smallest estimate.
The event was not called until a few
minutes after sp. m. Although the
wind was not high, the air was cool and
far from record breaking condition,
Alix scored twice and waa then sent
away. The first quarter was made in
111 1 .. ; she scurried on to the half in
1:0,4' ; ; there McDowell let her out a
little and tbe running mate joined her.
She went to the three-quarterß in 1:35
and came home without a break, and
full of go, in 2:05' 4 .
Tomorrow Directly, 2:12, and Carbon
ate, 2:19, will engage in a match race
for $2000, and on Friday the great pacers,
Robert J. and Joe Patcben, will meet
for a $5000 purse. On Saturday Fantasy
will reel off a fast mile.
The attendance was good. A great
field appeared for the 2:15 trot, but
Trevellian clearly showed the beat of the
lot, while Ora Wilkes was just as clearly
second beet. Silicon was quite a disap
pointment.
Fidol won the 2:11 pace without any
trouble.
The 2 :."0 pace brought out one of the
hardest races ot the meeting and a
scandal. Dickereon, who was substi
tuted for Thayer behind Douglass in the
fifth heat crowded Major Ewing into the
fence, causing him to fall, yet Sells got
the Chicago horse on his feet and cov
ered his dißtance. There was a loud
protest and it was claimed Dickeraon's
act waß intentional, but tbe judges de
cided otherwise. Douglass won this
heat and the next one and seemed to
have the race, but Major Ewing won
the decisive trial amid the greatest en
tbnstam.
Class 2:30, trotting, purse $1500—
Major Ewing won the third, fourth aud
seventh heats and the race in 2:20,
2:2o'j and 2:22? 4 ; Douglas second, win
ning the fifth and sixth heats in 2:20? 4
and 2:22, and Visant third, with the
first and second heats in 2:17 and 2.17',
Five otbere also started.
Tbe 2:11 pace, purse $1500—Fidol
won in straight heats. Time, 2:14,
2:101 a, 2:13 14.l4. Two Strikes, Rocker
and four others also started.
Calumet stakes, for 2:15 trotters —
Trevillion won the race in straight heats
in 2:114, 2:11 14,I4, 2:1314.l 4 . Ora Wilkes,
Jennie K. and nine others alao started.
Alix, to beat tbe track record of 2:06 V,
went in 2:05' 4 .

AFTER A LAPSE OF YEARS.
The Perpetrator* of a Cold-IUooded
Murder Arreflted.
Picdan, Kan., Aug. 21. —After a lapse
of four virtu the cowardly murderers of
John S. Frazer, a prominent cattle
dealer of this county, have been cap
tured. They are all prominent farmers
or business men living in this vicinity,
and the newB of their arrest has caused
a sensation. Their names are Theodore
F. Cox, Marx McBae, William LiokliB
ter, J. it. Cox and V. liner Cox.
The crime with which the men are
charged was one of the most cold
blooded murders ever committed in
Kansas. In 1S&0 W. H. Gibson and J.
B. Frazer were partners in an extensive
cattle buBinesB in Chautauqua. They
imported 1400 head of Texas
Bteere, to which the neighboring
raisers objected, tearing they would
spread the Texas fever. Gibson and
Frazer refused to remove the cattle,
however, and in consequence were
threatened with death. They paid no
heed to the threats, but in May of that
year Gibson was found dead in a hotel
at Moline, Kan.
In June Frazer was milled and after
a long search his body, covered with
knife cuts, was found in a neighboring
streum. Gibson's death was thought to
have been caused by heart disease, but
the finding of Fraxer's body led to the
murder theory. Since then Bearch for
the murderers has quietly progressed,
culminating today in what is believe'd to
be the arrest of the active participants.

most Fatal Onarrel.
San Francisco. Aug. 21.—Harry
Moore, son of Dr. Georga A. Moore,

ance company, wbb shot by his brother
George today. The two brothers were
leaving the insurance office, where they

Harry had threatened bis father he
would shoot him. Harry then struck at

shot, which took effect in the bipB,
inflicting a serious but not dangerous
wound. The shooter, who is 24 years
old, was arrested.
Dr. Moore, the father of the boys, is a
millionaire. The boys have been on
bad terms for some time, and it is
thought today's shooting is the outcome
of a long standing trouble. George ia
the younger, and is a clerk in his fath
er's employ, while Harry is married
and fur some time has been without
occupation. George says he thinka
Harry is crazy, as he ia very quarrel
some. Harry had threatened to beat
his father, aud when George threatened
to ahoot him if he did, Harry etruck
him in the face. Than the shotting oc
curred.

shores?"
"The gentleman from New York,"

be pauio stricken, and be objscta to
giving officers the power to deport auch
persons as they deem offenders."
"Whenever the word is used in the
statute," suggested Oatee, "it is given
the oommon law iuterpretation."
"There is no definition of anarohy in
the common law," replied Warner,
"and I object to consideration of the
bill."

Trumbo of Salt Lake City and San
Francisco was among the arrivala from
the east, Monday. Colonel Trumbo is
at present devoting his energiea to a
railroad project which be has in hand,
whicb, if it is ever realizsd, uud the
colonel says there can be no question as
to that, it will confer vast benefits on
Southern California, and incidentally
on the entire state. The line is known
as the Salt Lake, Los Angeles and Pa
cific, and will extend, aa its title
indicates, between the Great Salt lake
in Utah and the metropolis of
Sonthern California, with an extension
to tide water at San Pedro. The road is
something more than a mare project, for
the entire route has been fixed upon
and surveyed, and at either cad the
company has a short section in opera
tion, being, moreover, in posseaßion of
splendid terminal facilities.
"At the eastern end," said Colonel
Trumbo, in speaking ou of the aubjeot,
"we have constructed the section from
Salt Lake City to Salt Air, a distance of
20 odd miles, and at this end we are in
operation from San Pedro to Altadena,"
