The county democratic convention to
nominate two candidates to represent Gal-
veston in the Twenty-fourth legislature
was held at Turner hall last night. It
was known that there was a hen on and
several hundred spectators were there to
see the fun. Whisperings were rife dur-
ing the day to the effect that the caucus
held Tuesday night would be knocked
into a cocked hat by the convention and
so it was. It didn't even die decently.
The Spillane and Stubbs men—and they
pulled the same stroke—were fairly in
the saddle and it was soon evident that
they had routed the other boys, horse,
foot and dragoons. Earnest pleas to stand
by the action of the caucus were made,
but they were of no avail. The delegates
were there on business bent and they
just proceeded to finish the work and
adjourn, without any fringes or frills.
It was 8 o'clock when Captain James Mc-
Donald called the convention to order
and stated the object of the conclave.
He read the call as printed in The News
and said: "We have met here for the
purpose of discharging an important duty.
1 sincerely hope that all bickering and
cross-firing will be done away with. We
are democrats. Remember that no matter
whom we may nominate, they are all gen-
tlemen, and every delegate should remem-
ber that it is his duty to stand by the
nominees regardless of whom they may
be. Above all things, let us have har-
mony in our deliberations. The election of
a temporarv chairman is now in order.
Several voices immediately placed Hon.
John Lovejoy in nomination for temporary
chairman. Quit Finlay nominated Hon.
Mark McLemore. The vote was called for
by wards. , ,
Mark McLemore: "The First ward is
entitled to four votes, no matter whether
there is present here one delegate or a
dozen."
Quit Finlay: "It would be an outrage to
disfranchise the First or any other ward
because there is not a full number ot
delegates present from such ward."
A voice: "The First ward now has its
full representation present, and that set-
it-"
P. N. Harris and D. B. Henderson
were appointed tellers to keep account
of the vote. , , , t
John Bolton: "I think it is nothing but
right that the gentlemen addressing the
chair should rise to their feet."
A row came up over proxies and it was
decided that proxies could have no voice
until the convention was permanently or-
ganized. The ballot was taken and re-
sulted in the election of Mr. McLemore by
a vote of 2G to 25. First knockout for the
caucus. The Fourteenth and Fourteenth
and a half precincts were not represented.
Chairman McLemore thanked the con-
vention for the honor conferred. "I hope
we will get along harmoniously," he said.
"In voting for me you have confided a
trust to my keeping and I assure you
that your confidence has not been mis-
placed."
A. J. Comuton and D. B. Henderson
were placed in nomination for temporary
secretary, and in spite of Mr. Henderson's
protest, he was elected by a vote of 26 to
2">. While the ballot was being taken,
Chris Fox said: "I do not care to vote."
John Bolton: 'T move he does vote."
Chris Fox: "Then I vote half and half."
When the vote was announced John
Bolton gave a war whoop and exclaimed:
"Aln's that out of sight?'
Several voices: "Good old Henderson.'
Quit Finlav: "I move that the chair ap-
point a committee of thirteen, one from
each ward and one from the county at
large, on credentials."
P. N. Harris: "I move to amend that
by letting each ward name its own repre-
sentative on the committee."
Chairman McLemore: "I suppose I
might rule that amendment out of order,
as the precedent is for the chair to ap-
point the committee."
John Lovejoy: "If yon do I'll appeal
from the decision of the chair."
Quit Finlay: "For the sake of harmony
I shall ask the chair to withdraw that
ruling."
John Lovejoy: "Not for the sake of har-
mony, but because it is unprecedented as
a democratic usage."
Chairman McLemore: "I have not so
ruled yet. 1 will put the motion on the
amendment."
The vote was takefi viva voce and divi-
sion asked for.
John Bolton: "Explain the question once
more so it will be fairly understood."
Chairman McLemore: "All right, sir."
Ned Sedgwick: "1 move that these fellows
keep their seats."
At this juncture some objection was
made to John Charles Harris sitting with
his delegation and he moved away.
P. N. Harris: "If this vindictiveness
goes so far as to put him out of the house
of his friends, all right."
Chris Fox: "He has been circulating
among the delegates for an hour."
The amendment was lost by a vote of 28
to 24 and the boys howled.
The original motion for the chair to
appoint the committee was then adopted
by a viva voce vote, and so announced by
the chair.
John Lovejoy: "We call for a division
on your ruling."
Chairman McLemore: "I rule you out
of order, sir."
John Lovejoy: "You'll not rule me out of
order, sir. I call for division."
Chairman McLemore: "Division on
what?"
There was a burst of applause and Mr.
Lovejoy said if there was not less fuss he
would ask to have the hall cleared. He
then addressed the chair: "I now ask for
a division on your ruling."
Quit Finlay: "The chair announced the
result and this is only done to harass and
delay the convention. A test vote has
been taken and that settles it."
P. N. Harris: "According to Mr. Finlay
we must, just put a motion, call 28 votes,
and go in."
Chris Fox: "That may be your style of
doing things, but it is not the democratic
method."
John Bolton became excited and made
several motions which were never put.
Chairman McLemore announced the fol-
lowing committee on credentials: First
ward, Tom Brick; Second ward, D. B.
Henderson; Third ward, Thomas Goggan;
Fourth ward, John Bolton; Fifth ward,
Jerry Kennedy; Sixth ward. John Donlon;
Seventh ward, Quitman Finlay; Eighth
ward. Jake Zlegler; Ninth ward, C. L.
Sherwood; Tenth ward, — Pabst;
Eleventh ward, Morgan Mann; Twelfth
ward, — Delahunty; outside precincts,
F. H. McMahan.
On motion of Quitman Finlay the chair
appointed the following committee on per-
manent organization: First ward, Walter
Smith; Second ward, Tip Walker; Third
ward, Chris Fox; Fourth ward. Harry
Collins; Fifth ward, Jerry Kennedy; Sixth
ward, Gus Butterowe; Seventh ward, John
Lovejoy; Eighth ward, Alex Coddou;
Ninth ward, E. It. Cheesborough; Tenth
ward, Joe Levy; Eleventh ward, J. C.
Xelso; Twelfth ward. Mr. Boddeker.
In calling the roll the Fourth ward was
unintentionally omitted.
John Bolton: "What's the matter with
the Fourth? Are we to be exonerated al-
together?"
Maurice Coffey: "No danger as long as
you are in that ward."
The Fourth was immediately called. On
motion uf Quitman Finlay a recess of fif-
teen minutes was taken to give the com-
mittees a chance to prepare their reports.
When the convention reconvened the com-
mittee on credentials recommended the
seating of the following delegates:
First ward: W. II. Pasco, Walter Smith,
Tom Brick, Joseph Smith.
Second ward: D. B. Henderson, Tipton
Walker, William Cain, Henry Mallia.
Third ward: Gilbert O'Shaughnessy, Chris
Fox, Clem Kuhnel, H. V. Lang, Thomas
Fourth ward: M. M. Jordan, J. H. Bol-
ton, Frank Leonard, Harry Collins.
Fifth ward; Jerry Kennedy, Ned Sedff-
wick, Maurice Coffey, Joe Burdo, Fred
Warren.
Sixth ward: John Smith, W. F. Coakly,
Dan Donovan, T. H. Nolan, John Donlon,
Gus Butterowe.
Seventh ward: P. N. Harris, James
Daley, Quitman Finlay, John Lovejoy, R.
F. Unger, A. H. Andrews.
Eighth ward: Frank Jones, Alex Cod-
dou, Jake Zieglcr.
Ninth ward: A. J. Compton, C. E. Sher-
wood, E. R. Cheesborough.
Tenth ward: Joe Levy, Gus Oppcrman,
D. J. Buckley, Fred Pabst.
Eleventh ward: M. C. McLemore, Mor-
gan Mann, J. C. Kelso, Fred ICuers.
Twelfth ward: P. Schreiber, Richard
Delahunty, Louis Boddeker.
Thirteenth precinct: Joe Meyer.
Fifteenth precinct: M. P. Hargreaves.
Sixteenth and a half precinct: F. H.
McMahon.
Seventeenth precinct: H. O. Shaw.
The report was adopted.
The committee on permanent organiza-'
tion reported, recommending that the tem-
porary officers be made permanent and
that George McCracken be made sergeant-
at-arms, it was further recommended
that the majority rule b" adopted. The
order of business as fixed by the commit-
tee was the nomination of two candidates
for the legislature, to be followed by reso-
lutions. The report was adopted.
Ned Sedgwick moved that the pro-
gramme of the caucus be carried out.
Maurice Coffey: "I was not there. I
do not attend caucuses."
Several delegates, all of whom talked
at once, Insisted on carrying out the pro-
gramme of the caucus.
Quitman Finlay nominated Charles J.
Stubbs for the legislature, referring to
him as "a man in the vigor of a young
manhood, born among us and a good dem-
ocrat with both brains and energy." (Wild
applause.)
Ned Sedgwick nominated John Charles
Harris.
Chris Fox nominated James Spillane.
P. N. Harris nominated T. H. Nolan,
characterizing him "as a man who is also
in the vigor of a young manhood, who
served us faithfully in the Twenty-third
legislature, and who is entitled to another
term for his faithfulness."
There were a number of seconds, but
no speech making, and nominations were
closed.
The first and only ballot resulted as fol-
lows: Stubbs 34, Spillane 31, Nolan 24 and
Harris 21. As soon as it was announced
the boys proceeded to howl themselves
hoarse. P. N. Harris moved to make the
nominations unanimous, and the motion
was adopted, but there were three votes
against it.
John Lovejoy offered the following reso-
lution :
Be it resolved by the democracy of Gal-
veston county, In convention assembled,
that the lofty character, pure patriotism
and eminent abilities of the Hon. Horace
Chilton entitle him to our support in his
candidacy for the position of United
States senator from the great state of
Texas; therefore be it
Resolved, that the nominees of this con-
vention are instructed to vote for and use
all honorable means to secure his election
to that exalted office.
Mr. Lovejoy then spoke to his resolution
as follows: "In speaking to this resolution
I desire to make a few remarks. Mr. Chil-
ton for the past eight of ten months has
been engaged in a canvass of this state for
the position of United States senator.
During this campaign Mr. Chilton has ad-
vocated the coinage of silver at a ratio of
16 to 1. His silver views are well known
throughout the entire state. He has re-
ceived the indorsement of about 125 coun-
ties, which practically insures his election.
The recent democratic state convention at
Dallas adopted a financial plank reot'fering
that of the democratic national platform
of 1892 upon which the democratic party,
with Grover Cleveland as its great leader,
swept the country. (Great applause.) This
plank demands the use of both metals as
the basis of our monetary system, but
also demands the coinage of silver at such
ratio to gold as will, by proper legislative
safeguards, maintain the parity in intrinsic
value between the two metals. Mr. Chilton
stands uoon the Dallas platform, but he
has not changed his convictions that if
silver was coined free at the ratio of 16
to 1 the Fnlted States is powerful enough,
bv proper legislative safeguards, to main-
tain the parity in value between the two
metals at that ratio. I do not undertake
to speak by authority for Mr. Chilton or
to define with perfect accuracy his posi-
tion, but this is substantially what I un-
derstand to be his position on this ques-
tion. I have to-day received a telegram
from Mr. Chilton, which I will read to
you."
Mr. Lovejoy here read the following tel-
egram:
Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 19.—Hon. John
Lovejoy, Galveston, Tex.: Would appre-
ciate Galveston instruction, but not on
assumption that silver views changed.
II. CHILTON.
Mr. Lovejoy: "Now, with this statement
and the facts before you, I move the adop-
tion of the resolution that the nominees
of this convention if elected to the legis-
lature be instructed to vote for Mr. Chilton
for United States senator."
Maurice Coffey: "As a member of this
convention I can not agree with Mr. Love-
joy on this proposition. We adopted a
platform at Dallas, and if Mr. Chilton
thinks hf> is bigger than the democratic
party I am opposed to him. (Loud ap-
plause.) I did not vote for that silver
plank in the state democratic platform,
but It was adonted by the democracy of
the state in convention assembled, and we
must stand on it. If he does not propose
to do that I am opposed to instructing
for him."
Quit Finlay: "I do not believe Mr. Chil-
ton thinks he is bigger than the demo-
cratic party of Texas. He has a record
in Texas for being a good democrat, not
In my recollection, but I heard of it when
I was a boy. Let's adopt this resolution
and be harmonious like we have been dur-
ing the rest of this convention. Let us
also go to work and elect the democratic
ticket from ton to bottom."
Chris Fox: "No doubt Messrs. Stubbs
and Spillane will vote for Mr. Chilton. I
would probably do so myself. But I pro-
pose that we let them exercise their own
judgment in the premises. Let's leave
them foot loose so they can vote for
what they think is the best man. 1 move
that the resolution lay on the table."
Ned Sedgwick spoke for the resolution.
Mr. Fox then withdrew his motion to table
and the resolution was adopted.
The convention then adjourned sine die.

AMUSEMENTS.
COLONEL GRESHAM RETURNS.
Says He Is Not Knifing Crowley-Will
Make Some Speeches.
Colonel Gresham has returned from his
ranch in Tom Green county after spend-
ing several days In that section of the
state.
A News man called on him yesterday
and asked him about his trip. "I had
a pleasant time," he said. "By the way,
r spoke at Coleman in joint discussion
with Charley Jenkins, populist nominee
for congress against C. K. Bell, the demo-
cratic nominee. When 1 referred to Cleve-
land my auditors absolutely rose up and
howled. I was surprised to see the unan-
imity with which the boys up there fol-
low Cleveland. There Is no use talking,
when you tell the people the truth about
Cleveland they are for him straight out.
1 spoke against the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1,
and judging from the applause and en-
thusiasm that greeted my remarks, the
people of that section agree with me."
"1 suppose you know, colonel, it is being
charged that you are knifing Crowley for
congress?"
"I am doing nothing of the kind," said
Colonel Gresham. "So far I have been
saying practically nothing on the subject.
But I am supporting Crowley and intend
to vote for him in November."
Colonel Gresham is in receipt of numer-
ous invitations to make speeches. He has
promised Major Sayers to make eight
speeches in his district and will shortly
announce his dates. He will also try to
make some speeches for Congressman Pen-
dleton In his district.

COTTON CLEANER SAMPLES.
There were on exhibition at the Galves-
ton cotton exchange yesterday certified
samples of cotton from the gin of Colonel
Dunovant, Eagle Lake, to represent a
cotton cleaner operated there. The sam-
ples comprised the cotton as ginned, the
cleaned cotton and the refuse taken from
under the machine after cleaning; also cot-
ton from the same lot from which the
samples were produced.
The cleaned cotton exhibits a decided
Improvement In appearance over the arti-
cle as it comes from the gin, and it is es-
timated that the cotton after cleaning will
sell for %c per pound over the uncleaned
article.
The new machine is the latest invention
of Henry Rembert, and the object of the
exhibit is to interest Galveston cotton men
with a view to its manufacture and gen-
eral introduction in Texas by a Galves-
ton company. The samples were for-
warded to W. L. Moody & Co., accom-
panied with full information regarding the
machine—the Rembert cotton cleaner.

LITTLE LOCALS.
BARLOW, DOLSON & POWERS.
The attraction at the Tremont to-morrow
evening will be the Barlow, Dolsen «fc

gregation the Washington Post is pleased
to say: "Barlow, Dolson & Powers' min-
strels opened Butler's new Bijou theater
last evening, and in the absolute dearth
of other theatrical attractions in town, all
the regular 'first-nighters' were on hand,
and, together with the regular patrons of
the house, filled the theater to overflow-
ing. The principal comedian Is, of course,
Milt. G. Barlow, whose name alone brings
back memories of the palmy days of min-
strelsy. He is ably seconded by those
original fun-makers, Frank Cushman ami
Tom Mack. The first part also introduces
Howard Powers, who sings a new ballad.
'Take Back the Engagement Ring,'
which promises to be the latest success
In popular songs, while James Davis in-
troduces 'Maggie Mooney,' who is expected
to fill the place of the late 'Annie Rooney.'
The olio includes Scofield, who hails di-
rect from the Follie Bergeres, Paris; Milt.
G. Barlow, in his original character sketch
of the old-time darky, Uncle Remus; the
Higgins brothers, clever comedians, sing-
ers and dancers, late of Carncross' min-
strels; the musical Ravens, who claim to
be able to play every known musical In-
strument; Mons. Zella, In a mystifying
act; Tom Mack, in a comic monologue,
and Clayton and Jenkins, the grotesques,
with their trick mule, Jasper." A street
parade and one performance only will be
given.
