NOW FOR BUSINESS READY FOR THE CONVENTION TODAY I- ■ ' . t STEPHENS AS CHAIRMAN MITCHELL'S ELECTION SUBJECT OF A CONTEST QUIEROLA AFTER SAVAGE The Push Ready to Make Peace on Any Terras—Dr. Hill to Be Re-Elected Committee Chairman Last night tt appeared as If the major differences in the local Democracy would be so adjusted today that there would not be much friction. The push finds itself in such a minority that it Is very much like Sagasta—lt can only throw itself upon the mercy of the victors and accept such terms as are offered. There are said to be two raindldates for the chairmanship, Judge A. M. Stephens and R. F. Del Valle. Judg" Stephens seemed yesterday to have the running his own way. and even the push leaders admitted thnt he would be the man and said that they would support htm. There was some talk about contesting the right of John W. Mitchell to lake his sent. He was duly elected with Mr. Ander ton on a tie, and. as the latter is his friend, Mr. Mitchell was at once given his proxy. Last evening G. W. Albright filed a con test, however, alleging that many of those who voted for Mitchell were Republicans; that when asked if they were Democrats, they responded: "Yes, for today," and giv ing other grounds. Nlc Quierola will also contest the seat of Tom Savage, on the ground that the latter had not been a resident of the Einhth ward for the required thirty days before the elec tion. Savage asserts that he did not lose his residence by his trip to the Klondike. N. T. Powell will alno contest the ticket returned on Monday night as elected from Ihe Twenty-first precinct, on the ground that, while only eight votes were cast and recorded by the Judges, when the box was opened there were found to be 04 votes in addition, which had been "stuffed." He and his assioc'ates have certificates from five of the eight regular voters that they are the ones elected, nnd Chairman Hill will probably so decide. The names of the ones to be seated are N. T. Powell. Charles Kestner, L. P. Stephens. 11. D. Francis Ireland and K. T. Paulln. The friends of Mitchell and Savage and others who may be barred from taklnig their seats asserted yesterdny afternoon that. If they were not admitted, a large number of the delegates would refuse to participate In the proceedings, the idea being that a walk-out would ensue, and posslhly two conventions would result, though this was not definitely stated and la hardly a possible contin gency. There is a disposition amnng the coolest headed leaders to avoid any extreme meas ures and lo exhibit the generosity that a victor can well show, without danger to the prime questions which caused the original difficulties. There was a caucus held last night In the Firsn ward, at which the eiuestlon nf whom the delegates would support for chairman came up and was thoroughly canvassed. When a vote was taken all but three were found to fnvor Judge Stephens, and, after argument, these three concluded to stay with the majority, so that the First ward will present an unrboken front for Judge Stephens. Dr. Hill is undoubtedly in the lead for r halrman of the county committee and wlli have little or no opposition, and that Mr. Herzog, as secretary of the committee, has reached the end of his prominence is as sured. t , > CONVENTION DELEGATES The Returns Which Were Not Printed Yesterday The following named delegates were on the official returns received yesterday, which, with the list puhiished ln yesterday's Herald, form the complete roster: Forty-eighth n—A.

CHARMING CAUCUS MACHINE-MADE HARMONY IS HYPNOTIC GAGE, WATERS, CLARK "DE ATE" HAD TO SCRAP BUT JAMES GOT THERE WAS AS EASY AS A, B, C And X. Y. Z. Parker and Billy Dunn Won Hands Down—General Grin of Glee The Republican caucuses were held last night ln this city. In response to Ihe trun dle of the machine a solid delegation was nominated for Henry T. Gage for govern or, R. J. Waters for congress and Judge W. H. Clark for the supreme bench. The only contest of consequence was ln the Eighth, and when too many statesmen yearned for the warm climate of Sacra mento, but the ticket on whtch was "Jim" Meredith won after bloodthirsty threats and an exciting ensemble. The vote* was the largest known in Re publican oaususes, notwithstanding the fact there was no opposition to any of the three candidates named. "Hilly" Dunn and Alpha Beta Gamma Delta Barker appeared to have charge of the "practical politics." and they dis charged their duties to perfection, no hard task, as they had no organized opposition. The First Ward voters marched up like men. and voted the straight ticket provided for them by Frank Flint. The Second Warders met at Temperance Temple. Here, as elsewhere, the magnan imous withdrawal of MeLaehlan went far toward soothing the troubled Waters. In the Third Ward the course of true pol itics did not run smooth. It was whispered that Billy Dunn had taken a father ly Interest ln the affairs of that district, although he Is not a member of It. and had conspired to break up the family circle ar ranged by the legitimate bosses (for a Re publican party without bosses would be a misnomer). Dr. W. G. Cochran and W. Q Spence, who are said to have been Mr. Dunn's entering wedges, fell far short of being elected. The Fourth Ward caucusers caucused very peacefully, as did those of the Fifth, in which district Waters and Gage both live. Here the predestined ticket was elected by Calvanistic acclamation. The same, white-winged dove fluttered over the lents of the Sixth. Down ln the Seventh Ward the parties who got up the printed ticket committed the egregious blunder of omitting from the list the name of Tommy Strohm. the pride of the Seventh. His friends resented this, anil insisted on a correction, greatly to the detriment of C. J. Kubach'B chances of going to the convention. Uut it was in the Eighth that the tun came ln. Nelson, the committeeman who called the meeting to order, called for nom inations for chairman, and as soon as he heard the name of Chas. R. Craig declared that gentleman elected without the trilling formality of a vote. The secretary was "elected" In the snmc unanimous manner. In tills work may be seen The line Italian hand of a certain can didate for sheriff. Blow's were avoided with difficulty, and after the meeting was adjourned the disgruntled met again and then adjourned to the sacred precincts of the Columbia club, where the eloquence ot John Burr—and beer—flowed freely to the soothlnff of their souls. A protest against .Mr. Craig's parliamentary methods is to he filed with the central committee. The Boyle Heights olttsens met and con ducted their caucus according to the brand of their masters. The work was success fully accomplished even though the late lamerted ex-board of education member, Webb, was not on hand to helji out. Most of the country districts had not beer, heard from when W.

A BRUTAL HUSBAND He Beats and Chokes His Delicate Wife James Gray Is In the city prison with the dual charge of drunkenness and battery against him. Gray's wife has been em ployed as a waitress, and has been support ing her husband, who seems to be a worth less fellow generally Although she Is in a delicate condition, Gray has not showed her any consideration, but persists in abus ing her on various occasions. He went to her home, at 712 Ms East First street, and proceeded to show his manly strength by beating and choking her. Mrs. King, the landlady, heard the woman's cries, and went Into the room, but Gray started to at tack her also. Mrs. King retreate d to her own room, where she armed herself, and then defied the brute. Gray retained suf ficient discretion to keep his hands off the landlady. Mrs. King blew the police whistle, and Officer Fay responded. As soon as the of ficer went into the room Gray bolted through the back way. Jumped a couple of fences, ran through the Hewitt school yard, over on to Second street. Thence Gray ran to Rose street, through a yard, and hid ln an outhouse. Fay followed af ter the fieetfooted scoundrel, and routed him from his temporary hiding place. Gray then scaled a high fence.and, though the officer threatened to shoot, did not stop his flight. He finally ran over onto First street and took refuge in the rear room of a butcher shop at 604 East First street, where Officer Fay placed him under arrest. Mrs. Gray had an abrasion over the right eye, her face had also been bruised, and her throat scratched during the struggl,-. The shock was so severe to the woman that It Is feared serious results may occur. No charge was brought against Gray'ye? terday, but he will probably be prosecuted today if his wife ca,n be brought into court. DEATH OF C. C. MONAGHAN The Well-Known Wheelman Dies Sud denly at Santa Ana C. C. Monagh'an, chief consul of the Southern California division of the L. A.W., died suddenly late yesterday afternoon at the Rossmore hotel at Santa Ana. The cause of his death was cerebro-splnai trouble, resulting presumably from a hard fall from his wheel last June. Mr. and Mrs. Monaghan went to Santa Ana, their former home, several days ago, that Mr. Monaghan might take treatment from their family physician for the injury sustained by his fall. He was not considered In a dangerous condition until yesterday morning, when he was taken with light spasms. At noon his condition was considered serious, and at 4 oclock he wns dead. Mrs. Monaghan was with him at the time of his death. Both Mr. and Mrs. Monaghan are attorneys-at iaw and have had an office in this city for some months. Mr. Monaghan was perhaps the most ac tive spirit among the wheelmen of South ern California and was a pillar of strength to the League of American Wheelmen. CAR AND CART J. Cook and His Companion Thrown Out Into the Street J. Cook, the proprietor of the Los An geles wool pulling establishment, met with a painful accident yesterday morning. Cook buys horses in addition to his other business, and in company with Emanuel Gutierrez was driving a young and spir ited horse in a two-Wheel cart. While on North Main street, by tht Plaza. Mr. Cook's attention was attracted by an east bound east side car. In trying to get out of the way of it he did not notice a Pasa dena electric car southbound. The horse shied In front of the Pasadena car, which .■truck the cart and threw both the occu pants out onto the pavement. The horse was dragged some yards, but was not killed. Mr. Cook was rendered unconscious. He was taken to the receiving hospital and attended by Dr. Hagan and Dr. Mathls. Gutierrez was bruized aboufihe hip. Mr. Cook's injuries consisted of a bad cut on the left ear and some* cuts on the left side of the head, and bruises about the body. He Is quite a heavy man, and the violent contact with the hard granite paving Jarred him greatly. He was later removed to his home. SENATOR WHITE TALKS MAY NOMINATE MAGUIRE AT SACRAMENTO Maguire's Enviable Record in Con gress—The Precedent of the Hawaiian Annexation United States Sf nator Stephen M. White urrive-d In ihe city Sunday from his home in Los Angeles, says the San Francisco Call. When asked to express his views on the political situation. Senator White dtclared that he was not sufficiently familiar with the condition of affairs In his party In this state to Justify him In giving an opinion as to what the outcome of the campaign will be. "I returned from Washington but a short time ago." he said, "and since my arrival in the Btate my time and attention has bpen so taken up with important legal business that 1 have had no time to devote io political matters. My present visit to San Francisco is due solely to the necessity for my presence here In connection with some legal business of importance. I shall return to T.os Angeles tomorrow morning or tomorrow afternoon at the latest. I wish to have It understood that my visit has nothing to do with politics in any way." Concerning Ihe statement that he would go to the state convention as the chairman of the I.os Angeles delegation and would place Judge Magulre In nomination for gov ernor. Senator had this to say: "I do not even know whether or not I shall attend the convention, and there has certainly been nothing said to me about my liplng the chairman of the Los Angeles dele gation. It is my (h sire to attend the con vention, and 1 shall certainly do so if I can so arrange my private affairs as to make my presence in Sacramento possible. "As to any understanding that I shall place Judge Magulre in nomination for governor, there Is none. If lam present at the convention 1 shall certainly give my self the pleasure of saying something In behalf of Magulre. Should I he selected to make the nominating speech I would be particularly gratified, as the judge and I have been friends from childhood, and I have for him a very high regard. No such arrangements have been made, however, and", ;is I said before. Ido not even know whether I will be able to attend the con vention. I certainly think that Magulre will receive the nomination, as there seemr no opposition to him, and I also think th,.t it he is nominated he will be elected. He has made an enviable record ln congress and stands high in the estimation of the people of California. "Concerning the present position of the Democratic party regarding fusion, I must beg to be excused from making any state ment, for the reason that I am not familiar with all of the facts. As an abstract propo sition, I still hold to the views publicly ex pressed by myself and others many months ago. That Is to soy. I am in favor of the co-operation of all forces favoring free sil ver. As to the manner In which fusion was brought ahout in this state, or the basis upon which it was arranged, I have noth ing to say, because I am not familiar with the facts. Neither am I prepared to say whether I think It advisable for the Demo cratic party to nominate a straight Demo cratic ticket. As I have said, the present status of this maticr Is not familiar to me, and I am. therefore, not qualified to ex press an opinion." Concerning the annexation of the Ha waiian islands and the effect of such action upon the future of the country. Senator White was almost as non-committal as he was about Democratic politics. "The stand taken by me on the Hawai ian question," he said, "Is well known to every one. I am not prepared to say that there was not a majority of the members of congress in favor of annexation, but I do think that it would have been defeated had it not been for the sentiment engen dered by the conditions arising from our present war with Spain. What my future course win be I am not at this time pre pared to say. The annexation of the Islands is an accomplished fact—a fact that has es tablished a precedent that must necessarily cTiange the entire foreign policy of this government. The eiuestion of the limits and extent of this new policy is one that should be given ;he very gravest thought, for on It depends, ln a great measure, our future as a nation. The mere fact of the acquisition of the Hawaiian Islands would not of Itseif be of very grant importance were it not for Ihe additional fact that their acquisition establishes a precedent that at once and for all time affects our standing among the na tions of the world. *** To a representative of the Examiner Sen ator White said that in his opinion Con gressman Magulre will be nominated and elected governor of this state.
