new list as given by the chairman did not contain the changes -mentioned above and the errors were not discovered until the San and said: "I want to facilitate business. On behalf of Mr. Jacobs, I ask for another roll-call." And ths is the way it was settled. The chair ordered the secretary to call the roll. The Los Angeles delegates came back.

The vote was exceedingly close. San Francisco gave Jacobs a solid vote, and -sent him away ahead. But the country delegates generally tor Ward, and he slowly gained on and passed the San Franclsoo and -was nominated. Ward, 430; Jacobs, 414. Wild cheers broke forth from the friends of Ward, nartlcu- rang through the chamber, "and I reiterate and reaffirm, with all the energy I possess, what I taid yesterday." "What the Senator has said," said Senator Chandler, Jumping to his feet as Mr.

Allen tat down, "only emphasizes what I said a tew moments ago, namely, that he floes not comprehend the courtesy that; characterizes debate In this body." The Senator sat breathless for" fully a minute after Senator Chandler, resumed his seat, but this closed the sensational episode, and the debate on the Income tax was proceeded with. Senator Hoar of Massachusetts making a somewhat long argument against It, dwelling particularly on its objectionable features as a mode of raising revenue for the Federal govern; tnent Senator Aldrich moved that the date on which the Income' tax should cease be January 1, 189S. The Finance Committee compromise amendment to the House bill fixed the date on which It should cease as January 1, 1900. The amendment was defeated, 23 to 39. All the Democrats voted against It, together -with Senators Dubois, and Mitchell of Republicans, and Senators Allen, Kyle and Feffer, Popu pointive State offices.

The chairman an nounced that the resolution was not in order, unless with the unanimous' con sent of the convention. The author of the resolution misunderstood, and started to advocate its merits. A little laughter ensued, but a kindly-disposed delegate asked that the convention suspend the order of Dusiness and consider the resolution, it was so ordered, and the resolution was carried with a Blennerhassett of who made the sensational faux pas yesterday, started to take advantage of the general good humor of the convention to' get in a resolution himself, and he sent it up to the secretary, but there were loud calls for the regular order of business, and the chair promptly declared the nominations for Secretary of Setate were the next busi ness of the convention, and Blennerhassett took back his resolution unread. A youthful-looklnsr delegate from ban Francisco took the Dlatform. and, In a few well-chosen words, nominated L.

H. Brown of Sap Francisco, present clerk of the Supreme Court It jwas expected that a fight would be made by E. G. Walte, the incumbent, but his name was not men tioned. Brown was nominated by accla mation.

He appeared and gave the con vention 'a chance to cheer at a few remarks of thanks. The nomination for' Controller was like wise speedily disposed B. P. Colgan of Sonoma, the incumbent, was chosen by acclamation. The first contest of the afternoon was over the Treasurership.

Three nominees were voted lor; Henry Hook of contra Costa. H. G. Ostrander of Merced and Levi Radcliffe of San Luis Obispo. The word was passed around that Radcliffe had the support of Col.

Burns and the San Francisco delegation. Just as the roll was about to be called a delegate, with a technical turn of mind, called the attention of the chairman that the candidates had not been called -nipon to show themselves according to rule. The three candidates, therefore, made bows to the convention, and spoke' briefly. Radcliffe received the nomination on the first ballot; the vote resulting," Radcliffe, 448; Ostrander, 200; Hook, 197. A lively contest developed over the At torney-Generalship.

The candidates were Judge W. F. Fltzgwald of San Francisco, now on the Supreme bench; Thomas L. Carothers of Mendocino, and Oregon Sanders. The nominating speeches were numerous and tiresome, so that an Impatient delegate moved that the nominations close.

The chair was about to put the motion when Melone of San Francisco asked the Indulgence of the convention for a few remarks. There were many noisy demands for roll-call and howls of "No, no," but Mr. Melone persisted, and made a little speech in behalf of Fitzgerald and the Twenty-eighth' District, which, he declared, cast more votes with less voters than any district-in the State, and also had raised more money. and distributed it for the public good than-any The candidates were then called for, and Oregon Sanders came forward. Mr.

Sanders was mildly sarcastic and intimated that the convention was not here to deliberate, and decide, but to register a decree, already, made, days, perhaps weeks. ago. He also paid a high tribute to Judgo De Haven, for Supreme Judge, this morning, and remarked that if defeated, as he expected to be, he would be in remarkably good company. The discouraged candidate also eulogized Estee, and, looking at Burns's Immediate followers, shook his finger, in the air and declared: I was his friend, when many a man wear ing a red badge in this convention was his Implacable foe." Of course there were cheers. Carothers appealed to the San -Fran cisco delegation to do Justice to Northern California, and Fitzgerald Indorsed the platform heartily.

It was understood that Fitzgerald had the united support of the San Francisco delegation. The voting- and, Carothers- butwhen Sn Francisco was reached the. First called out solid for Fitzgerald There were cheers and laughter, and some, one crowed "cuckoo." All San Francisco voted for Fitzgerald with the exception of one vote for Sanders. When the call was concluded, many delegates who had voted for Sanders, the total was less than 100, changed, to Carothers, but It did no good. Fitzgerald already had enough.

The vote resulted: Fitzgerald, 482; Carothers, 343; Sanders, 17. The closest and most excltine fleht of the day was over the Surveyor-General The candidate Whom San Francisco intended to support was J. Wright of Tulare. Other candidates were Charles Uren of Nevada and L. B.

Ayer of Butte. Judge Davis of Amador, in advocating the claims or uren, made a point which aroused applause in the lobby. "I give notice," cried Davis, "that the San FranciBCO delegation will not vote for Uren." Judge Davis also -called attention to. the fact that no candidate had yet been named who hailed from north of Sacramento. The candidates briefly addressed the con vention, and the roll was called.

As the can proceeded, it was evident that the contest would be very close. The usual laughter and jeers arose when the first San Francisco vote for Wright was announced. At the close of the call, when it appeared to be doubtful if there Was a choice, many counties asked to have their votes changed from Ayer to Uren. But Santa Clara changed from Ayer to Wright, and settled the contest in the Tulare man's favor. The final vote was: Wright, 458; Uren, 362; Ayer, 26.

The San Francisco delegation had again voted for the winner. For Clerk of the Supreme Court, the nominees were Louis Jacobs of San Francisco; T. H. Ward of Los Angeles; and George E. Root of San Benito.

The convention had apparently seen all the candidates It wanted and dispensed with that formality. Despite1 San) Francisco's support, the roll-call ended with Jacobs's total only about 300. Then the usual changes from the weakest to the strongest began. Delegation' after: delegation went from Root to Jacobs, until the 425 mark was finally passed, amid great cheers. Many votes were, changed from Root to Ward.

John P. Jackson was In the chair. The convention was In confusion, which was greatly heightened by the uncertainty of the delegates as to the result The delegates rapidly degenerated into a howling mob. The chairman hammered and yelled in, vain for order, but the tumult only increased. At the height, of the uproar he announced the vote.

A' delegate finally cried excitedly for Knight, and the cry was taken up all over the convention. The chairman finally appeared, assumed the gavel and belched out: "Order! Sit down! sit down! Take your seats! Act like wen! Order! order! order!" and be finally stilled the storm. Then a delegate secured recognition and announced a change from Root to Ward. Cheers followed. The chairman excitedly pounded with bis gavel and said: "It is too late; the vote has been announced." Chaos reigned again.

A tremendous yell of "No, no" arose. The chair again announced the vote as follows: Jacobs, 444; Ward, 271; Root, 132. Delegates again howled for recognition. "Too late; the vote has been declared," cried the chairman. Delegates jumped upon chairs, waved their hats and canes, and yelled like madmen.

A hundred wanted recognition at once. The chair refused to see any. The noise finally partially subsided, and Gosper of Los Angeles declared; "There is but one recourse. It was out of order for the acting chairman to declare a vote before It was honestly obtained. therefore, ap-poal from the decision of the chair." Knight paid no attention to the appeal.

The riot broke loose again. "Sit down; sit down; keep still; behave howled the chairman; "I won't jecognlze a man on God's footstool until you sit down." Part of the Los Angeles delegation arosa and left the convention. The storm subsided again, and Galbraith of Santa Cruz obtained the floor. "This is a snap Judgment." cried he. "It Is not riht I appeal from the decision of the Wild cries of approval greeted the motion.

Gosper of Los Angeles moved, to recon- Jslder.

The total vote, as corrected stood: Radcliffe, 448, Hook, 197; Ostrander, 200. Dorn of San Francisco nominated Associate Justice W. F. Fitzgerald, tor Attorney-General in a flattering speech. Savage seconded the motion, saying that the Necessity for having an honest Attorney-General had been fully demonstrated during the past four years, and, as he knew Judge Fitzgerald to be an honest man, he heartily seconded the nomination.

Savage's remarks caused a general, titter, Iwhich, however, subsided when Lemon of ponoma placed in nomination Hon. T. L-Carothers of Mendocino, and J. J. Cairnes Of Tulare named Oregon Saunders of Tulare.

There was a determined' effort all along the line to break the slate and knock out Wright, and for a time it looked as though they would be successful. Burns chased around Industriously, and succeeded In holding bis forces together and preventing a stampede. The vote was announced as follows: Wright, 458; Uren, 362; 26.

The San Francisco delegation wanted to adjourn until 10 o'clock, but the convention wanted to close labors, and proceeded with business. Nominations for Clerk of the Supreme Court were next in order, and developed far the most sensational Incident of the convention. Dorn of San Francisco nominated Louis S. Jacobs of San Francisco, Gosper of Los' Angeles named Trowbridge H. Ward of Los Angeles, and Morehouse placed in nomination George W.

Root of San Benito. It was generally understood that Ward had been shelved and Jacobs slated for the place, and that Burns had been told that he would be. held personally responsible In the event of The balloting proceeded without incident, Ward holding his own, and" when all the votes were cast It was seen that there had been no choice, Root holding the balance of power. Before the announcement of the result changes commenced. Jackson temporarily in the 'chair and the convention Was too excited for him to control.

He was unable to do anything, as delegates were jumping up all over, the hall and demanding recognition. The chairman started to announce the -vote In the face of protests all oyer the hall, and the delegates began to call tor Knight, who was sitting in the rear of the platform. The excitement was at fever heat when he came forward and attempted to get the delegates In their seats, declaring that they were -out of order; that no changes could be made as the result had been announced. announcement was greeted with a storm of noes ana msses. Knight insisted on pushing the matter, and in the face of the protests announced the result as: Jacobs 441; Ward, 277; Root, 132.

As almost every delegate had kept tally, they knew that this was not correct, and protests again came irom every part of the hall, San Francisco alone supporting the chair. Gosper of Los Angeles mounted a chair and proceeded to talk, but was peremptorily ordered to take his seat The chairman insisted on refusing to listen to the protests, declaring the matter settled. The Los Angeles delegation started to leave the hall in a body. This action brought matters to a crisis, 'and the chair recognized Galbraith of Santa Cruz, who took the platform and denounced the action of the chair as an attempt to take snap Judgment Gosper of Los Angeles demanded another call of the roll, and as the demand was supported by almost the) entire convention, it was ordered by the chair. Root withdrew, and the vote stood: For Ward, 430; for Jacobs, 414.

The result was received with -wild cheers, this being the first and only break in the slate. Dorn of San Francisco moved to make the nomination unanimous; which was done, and hamony reigned once more. Superintendent of Public Instruction, of Ventura' was nominated by a vote' of 515, Fisher of Alameda receiving 49 and Anderson 283. The nomination for State Printer was a walkover for Johnson of Sacramento, the incumbent, S. Craig of Redlands, only receiving 65 votes, as against 694 for Johnson, and 41 for Thorpe.

Chairman Knight called attention to an error in the platform which had occurred, and which would be corrected, and thanks we'e tendered to the people of Sacramento for their courtesy, and to the officers of the convention for their services. Short of Fresno tried to argue the resolution In regard to recommending to county conventions the expressing of preference for United States Senator, but was voted down.

An Explanation and Certain Corrections by the Associated Press. The following has been sent to Assoc! ated Press papers by the San Francisco agent of the' service: SAN FRANCISCO, June 21. to Editors The Republican platform, as aubpte'd at Sacramento, Is different from the copy sent you yesterday in the following par ticulars: First The "vltlcultural plank. VI conv mencing We' recognize lh this State the large and Increasing product of theoru chard and the vine," should be stricken out altogether, as it was not submitted to the convention, as originally intended. Second The honest-elections plank.

commencing "We denounce the repeal by this Democratic Congress of the national election laws," should be stricken out .1 t. i ana me iuuuwiub uusmuieu; oince we organization of the Republican party it has been in favor of a ire ballot and an honest count at all elections, wherever held. Its policy has ever been that every voter, no matter what his color or his condition In life, should be permitted to freely exercise the right of suffrage, and that his. vote, no matter for what party or candidate it might nave -been cast should be counted exactly as he had given it The sanctity of the ballot-box Is the preservation of American institutions and American liberty. Too many safeguards cannot be thrown around this fountain, whence flows the entire government of all the 65,000,000 of people that march beneath the Stars and Stripes.

We there fore denounce the action oi the Demo cratic Congress and the Democratio President in repealing the Federal election laws as a wicked surrender to those who rule the Soutn by force ana violence, and who have sought to rule the North by fraud and corruption at me dsmoi-dox." Third The first sentence pf the natural Ization plank should be stricken out and the following "We are In favor, of amending our naturalization laws so that 'no one can be made a citizen who Is not of good repute ana wno cannot read and write the English language." The other part of the naturalization plank remains as originally given. The platform, as drawn, was lists. Senator Hill, who was not present, did not vote. The Finance Committee amendment, fixing the time limit druing which the tax was to run at January 1, 1900. was then agreed to.

Senator Feffer then offered an amendment, of which he gave notice yesterday, to levy a graduated Income tax. Senator Fetter said It was true, as had been charged by Senator Hill, that an Income tax Was a Populist Idea. Possibly he would prefer a graduated land tax to a graduated Income tax. you will give the Senators on this side time," Interposed Senator Hill, "perhaps they will report a land, will give them five years when this tax expires," replied Senator Peffer, amid laughter. Senator Peffer said the Western people had been hewers of wood and drawers of water long enough.

The Populist party proposed now to make the East shoulder its share. 'Senator Hill took the floor when Senator Peffer concluded, and congratulated the Democratic majority oa its new leadership. The Senator from Kansas (Mr. Peffer) had announced that the income tax belonged peculiarly and exclusively to his party. Before he had made that announcement there had been some Senators on the Democratic side who evidently had labored under the impression that it was in some way a Democratic doctrine.

Mr. peffer, he said, was right. The income tax was one of the first principles 6f the Populist party. Populists had been consistent in its advocacy, and: were how to witness its triumph. He did not desire to make any reflections upon Populistio or Socialistic ideas.

There were, differences of opinion as to what they believed. The Socialists believed in a paternal govern- jueui, ui me reaisuiDUtion or property and the community of interest. Both Socialists and Populists believed in an income 'V "If they do, that is the only respect in which, they are interjected Senator ABen. beUBve'v4n tthe ownership of railroads," banks 1 and tele- graphs?" '--y, "They believe in the gradual assumption of the ownership of railways and telegraphs by the government, but they uut uoubvo Biaie ownersmn of banks." j. "That is it." said Senator HU1, "both believe in paternal arid ait income tax.

The Only between them is that the Socialist' party goes farther than the Populist." "The income tax," interrupted Senator Aldrich, "is advocated by the Socialist, the Populist and the Democratio parties, with a few honorable exceptions, as a means for the redistribution of wealth." "It is hot advocated as a means for the redistribution of wealth," broke 1n Senator Teller, almost angrily. "No one ever hoard that statement made by any person whatever." Senator Hill was proceeding to say that if the Income tax had no advocates on thetf side of the chamber, it. was proper that Senator Peffer should assume the leadership when Senator Voorhees called attention to the fact that he had advocated and defended it squarely in his first speech. Senator Hill admitted this and said he had looked up the Senator's record and found he had advocated it years ago. It was.

then dropped by common consent by both parties, he Senator Hill expressed' the opinion, despite the decision in the Springer case, that the tax would! hold to be a direct tax and would be declared unconstitutional. Senator Peffer's graduated income amendment was defeated The reports from the Investigating Committee were then presented. The question of their reception occasioned considerable debate. Senator Hill entered a motion not to receive the report, He contended that a minority report having been made as to the material character of the ques-' lions' asked Searies and Mc-Carthey It was in the Jurisdiction of the Senate to decide whether the questions were material before having witnesses certified under the statute as con-contumacious. Senator Davis, member of this committee, thought that since the men had been certified to the District Attorney, the sugar magnate should be treated the same way.

i The question was left undecided and the Senate at 6 o'clock went Into executive session and 'then soon adjourned. vu wjb wnu-opuon bill in the House was resumed today. In order to close the debate at adjournment rtdn It Wfll tanAar trt diu bmv i.wu uuurn to debate under the live-minute rule, and offering of amendments after the morning hour tomorrow.
