Today’s Convention and Tonight's Mass Meeting. : The Democratic county conyention will meet at the Theatre in this city at 11 o’clock a. wu. today. Phe prospects are that the time of the delegates will not be consumed in balloting over numerous contesting candidates as was the case in the Repabjican convention of Wednesday last, but that they will principally devote their efforts. to finding men who are willing to accept the empty honors of places on the ticket. . Tonight-the Democrats will turn out in full force, and their mass meeting promises to be the big_est one they will have during the campaign. The speakers include some brilliant and talented men, and all that is surprising is that they are not genuine black Republicans. It only shows that their early training was directed in the wrong channel. The first on the list is Henry E. Highton, who is probably the best criminal! lawyer on the coast. He is always engaged in big cases—where the victim has plenty of money, ‘and is never heard of: in small affairs of any kind. He was. the leading counsel in the Spreckels-De Young shooting scrape and in the HarlanCraft murder case. In the former case Spreckels got clear, although Highton Was the special attorney ior the prosecution. Tne counsel were not to blame however, for the reason that public opinion was ll on the side of Spreckles on account of the assaults made by De Young’s organ upon the Spreckles family. In the case of Harlan, he managed in defense of his «lient tu hang the jury. Everybody will want to see Highton. The indicaions are he will draw as big u crowd to town as did Sells Brothers’ circus. Then comes Frank fi.-McNally, a young but very smart man. _He isa trumpof a speaker, and will appeal eloquently to ‘‘the boys.’”’ _ He will be followed ivy ‘old Jo. Hamilton.’ Joe is-# genuine antiquarian Democra’, His Democracy dates from hibirth, andif he thou_ht he had a drop of Republican blood in his veine he would have it drawn out if by so doing he sacrificed hir life. Like his mare Daisy S, he is somewhat: fast’ (politically, ot coursé) and in hearing him orate the principles of his party no one can fail to realize that he honestly believes every statement he makes about his first and only love. He is a good, clear and smooth talker, in fact is one of the best politica: stump speukers in California. He is even better than Ned Marshal. Everybody likes Joe Hamilton socially for he is as_ correct a gentle man as-ever walked in shoe-leather. His politics, however, are cbnoxious. The next speaker will’ be J. A. Filcher. He is a radical Democrat, a vicious anti-Ruilroau man, and is the nominee for Ruilroad Commissioner. Ii every man entertained the same views about Railroads as does Fiicher, we are afraid there would be but few iron rails luid. “Filcher, however, on all other subjects has a clear head. He is u good speaker and bis character is spotless. When a young man he was engaged in teaming from this city to the upper part o1 the county, and by his industry and ability has succeeded in be¢oming one of the leading citizens of Piacer county. If he were only a goud Republican, it would affuru this scribe great pleasure to vote tor him because he is a newspaper man; but as itis he will be neglected for Abbotw’s. sake. Major Biggs, the Demucratic candidate for Congress from this district, will make a good talk to the crowd. ‘the Major is a miller, ana a first-cluss one. If he received as. many votes on the 2d of November as he gets compliments about the quality of his flour everywhere he goes, he wouldbe elected, but votes ure one thing and compliments are another. The [ladies who make bread are all whooping it up for Biggs, and whon they are given the right of suffrage he wit! doubtless be sent to Congress by tnem. It is not a bad idea for him to -tir around this year anu yet acquainted with the politic.) rupes, however, fur the experience wii be of benefit to him when he comes up as the candidate of the Women’s Kights-party. RUMORS ABOUT LOCAL, CANDIDATES. Cal. R. Clarke’s: friends assert in niust positive terms that he is not 4 candidate for the Democratic nuwination of Sheriff, and would not culisent to be uit were tendered him on -a-gold plate. Mr. Clarke’s heaith is not sach that . be could make as vigorous a canvass as he would desire tu if he went into the fight, and he does not believe in haif-doing uny thing. aa. Garver could doubtless have wanted it, but he is reported to the numinduion for what place it Ley der any circumstances. The Democrats better endorse the ‘nomination of Mr. Lord by the Republicans, and thus be sure of electing at least one man who is on their ticket. 2 T. S. Ford, Frank Power and A. B. Dibble ‘are believed to be the only aspirants for the District Attorneyship. Mr. Ford filled the place once, and he made an excellent record. Mr. Power is at present one of the best~ teachers in the pub‘ic schools of this city,and has a good knowledge of law. Judge Dibble is one of the best known lawyers in the county, and is also a gentleman of ability and experience in the profession. For Senator, C. W. Cross, J. C. Coleman and J. M. ‘Lakenan are being spoken of, Mr. Cross at present holds the place, and is a leader in the Senate. Whether he will consent to let his name guinto the convention today remains to beseen. Either of the three gentlemen named would poll a good vote. ‘ For Assemblyman from this District, T. H, Carr is most frequently mentioned. He served one term, being, elected from Yuba county, and his record for ability and fearlesness is as good as the best. Z In the 15th district, N.C. Miller may be selected as the opponent of Judge Sykes. Mr. Miller is a clear-headed, progressive individual, and would, like Mr. Carr, probably be as popular and strong candidate as the Democracy can rake up. : B. N. Shoecraft is the only observable candidate for Treasurer, He is a wide-awake ycung gentleman possessing the fullest confidence of everybody, and would poll about as large a vote as anyone on the Democratic ticket. Dan Collins is booked for the nomination of Assessor. His party reasons that as he has been elected 80 many times, performed his work so well, and is so widely acquainted, he can manage to get enough Republican votes this year to re-elect him. Win. Maguire, a very worthy young man, and Wm. H. Martin, who has forsome time been one ofthe most efficient Deputies in ihe Assessor’s office, are alleged to be the only contestants for the Recordership. Hegh J. Baldwin is willing to tuke his chances on being elected vounty Clerk. He will it is thought be nominated, but with all his 4ood qualities he will find the Democratic cause too much of a burden to carry through the contest to victory. . M. B. B. Potter has no objection to going after the superintendency of public schools, and at this writhing it looks as though ‘he migh. get an opportunity to test his going qualities. Potter knows all about schools, and ifhe will come over to the fold of Republicanism his ambition to warm the Superintendent’s seat at the courthonse may be gratified in the sweet by and by. a Joseph Gilbert seems to have the call on the nomination for Public Administrator. He is a firstclass man, and if he should by chance happen to slip into the place when the election comes off, dead people dying intestate need not be alarmed about the safety of their property. For Coroner and Surveyor, no candidates have yet made themselves apparent. e F, M.

Fannie was born in Grass Valley, removing from that place with her parents to Virginia City. Two vears or more ago she came to Nevada City, and about five months since went to San Francisco. The poor girl having been separated from influences of home and mother before she had arrived at years of discretion, shou'd not be judge! too harshl for her misstep. “She was ‘bright, pretty, and fond of society, and her company was considerably sought after by quile a number of young men. She was exposed tu many temptations, and it is not to be much wondered at that she strayed from the path of virtue. An inquest was held by the coroner, and among the facts elicited were the following: Mrs. Kate Henderson, in whose house she died, said she first knew of deceased’s. illness on Thursday last, but made no inquiries as to its nature. ; That same night she entered er room and found her unattended save by a young man named Ralph Bowerman. Dr. De Puy was called but the patient refused to tell him the nature of her —illhess. It appears that with woman’s instinct Mrs. Henderson had guessed the real truth, and on taxing the girl with it the latter confessed. She told the wit‘ness Dr. Dunbar had told her of her condition, had spoken of the instrament and asked her to step into the back room tomuake an examination. This she refused to do. The witness .said that the Dr. asked Miss Douglass why she did not ullow herself to be examined, and she replied that it. hurt her modesty. She said she hai afallon the back stairs on the Saturday evening previous to her being taken sick, and complained of pain in her side. “I was present,’’ saidthe witpness, “‘when the child was born, and I told her thatit was older than what she told me. She answered ‘yes,’ she knew it, and then said as far as she could rec. ollect she had been ia that condition about feur months. When asked concerning Bowerman, the witness ~ said she knew him as a lodger in the house, who roomed separately from the deceased. The dead girl stated at one time that Bowerman was the father of the child, but on birth she said it belonged’ to another man, but weuld not tell who, as she wanted Bowerman to labor under the impression that the child was his. When told of the report that Bowerman had purchased thé instrument, the deveased reiterated the statement that she had purchased it herself. Miss Mitchell testified in substance as follows: ‘Knew deceased for 6 or 7 years. Saw her last Monday.Called upon her as the representative of her mother. Her mother received a letter from Ralph Bowerman. The mother wished me to look after her daug!ters and report to her. Mr. Bowe: man stated in his letter that Fannie was sick. Went and had an interview with her. Q estioned her closely as to the nature of her illness and questioned Bowerman. She said she had not been feeling well since she came to San Francisco. She requested me to write toher mother for money. I did so. A week ago the deceased called upon me forthe result ot my letter. Gave her the reply. At 1 p. M. last Saturday her sisier came to my room and eaid that Fannie was very low with typhoid fever and if she did not receive the best of care she would not recuver. she asked. me to write to their mother for means. Called upon her Sunday night and was still under the impression that her illness was caused by typhoid fever. Mrs. Henderson tol i me that it was a case Of miscarriage. Asked her the particalars, who Fanny accased of being the father of tue child. She suid that Fanny had made a statement to Dr, de Puy, her doctoy; At first Fannie would not give me any satisfaction in answer to my questions. Told her she should talk as freely to me asto her mother, anu that the guilty should be knowns Siesaid she would tell me if I would promise not to say anything to Ralph Bowerman. } Y . me he boarded iu the same house, Se pegesrenenesenndsneigeeeces-eneeerte ene married to him but she wanted to get well first and that she had fooled him. She said he was a perfect gentleman and was in no way connected with this. That whe: she told him he felt .very bad about it, “but that he would have married her right there. I}. enjoined her to tell thegrath and asked her if Bowerman was the father of her chil:. She raised her hand and said, ‘I voluntarily swear he is not the father of my child, he has only been here six weeks.’ Asked her who was, and she, told me. She suid she was sure. She also suid she would sign a statement tu that effect for her mother as did not want Ralph to be blamed. I went into another room, procured pencil*and paper and wrote out a statement which I read toher. She said it was true and she was willing to sweur to it. She 1 also said she fully understoud it. Mrs. Henderson and myself raised herup and she signed it, ‘Fanny Douglass,’ ‘The party named by her was Frank Morrison. She told a 448 Sixth street. She said tiat she was criminally guilty _ with Frank Morrison iu Nevada City. She said she came here from Nevada City a week or ten duys after Frank Morrison. She suid she went toa doctor, not giving his name, and purchased medicine.

Like his mare Daisy S, he is somewhat: fast’ (politically, ot coursé) and in hearing him orate the principles of his party no one can fail to realize that he honestly believes every statement he makes about his first and only love. He is a good, clear and smooth talker, in fact is one of the best politica: stump speukers in California. He is even better than Ned Marshal. Everybody likes Joe Hamilton socially for he is as_ correct a gentle man as-ever walked in shoe-leather. His politics, however, are cbnoxious. The next speaker will’ be J. A. Filcher. He is a radical Democrat, a vicious anti-Ruilroau man, and is the nominee for Ruilroad Commissioner. Ii every man entertained the same views about Railroads as does Fiicher, we are afraid there would be but few iron rails luid. “Filcher, however, on all other subjects has a clear head. He is u good speaker and bis character is spotless. When a young man he was engaged in teaming from this city to the upper part o1 the county, and by his industry and ability has succeeded in be¢oming one of the leading citizens of Piacer county. If he were only a goud Republican, it would affuru this scribe great pleasure to vote tor him because he is a newspaper man; but as itis he will be neglected for Abbotw’s. sake. Major Biggs, the Demucratic candidate for Congress from this district, will make a good talk to the crowd. ‘the Major is a miller, ana a first-cluss one. If he received as. many votes on the 2d of November as he gets compliments about the quality of his flour everywhere he goes, he wouldbe elected, but votes ure one thing and compliments are another. The [ladies who make bread are all whooping it up for Biggs, and whon they are given the right of suffrage he wit! doubtless be sent to Congress by tnem.

RUMORS ABOUT LOCAL, CANDIDATES. Cal. R.

Mr. Clarke’s heaith is not sach that . be could make as vigorous a canvass as he would desire tu if he went into the fight, and he does not believe in haif-doing uny thing. aa. Garver could doubtless have wanted it, but he is reported to the numinduion for what place it Ley der any circumstances. The Democrats better endorse the ‘nomination of Mr. Lord by the Republicans, and thus be sure of electing at least one man who is on their ticket. 2 T. S. Ford, Frank Power and A. B. Dibble ‘are believed to be the only aspirants for the District Attorneyship. Mr. Ford filled the place once, and he made an excellent record. Mr. Power is at present one of the best~ teachers in the pub‘ic schools of this city,and has a good knowledge of law. Judge Dibble is one of the best known lawyers in the county, and is also a gentleman of ability and experience in the profession. For Senator, C. W. Cross, J. C. Coleman and J. M. ‘Lakenan are being spoken of, Mr. Cross at present holds the place, and is a leader in the Senate. Whether he will consent to let his name guinto the convention today remains to beseen. Either of the three gentlemen named would poll a good vote. ‘ For Assemblyman from this District, T. H, Carr is most frequently mentioned. He served one term, being, elected from Yuba county, and his record for ability and fearlesness is as good as the best. Z In the 15th district, N.C. Miller may be selected as the opponent of Judge Sykes. Mr. Miller is a clear-headed, progressive individual, and would, like Mr. Carr, probably be as popular and strong candidate as the Democracy can rake up. : B. N. Shoecraft is the only observable candidate for Treasurer, He is a wide-awake ycung gentleman possessing the fullest confidence of everybody, and would poll about as large a vote as anyone on the Democratic ticket. Dan Collins is booked for the nomination of Assessor. His party reasons that as he has been elected 80 many times, performed his work so well, and is so widely acquainted, he can manage to get enough Republican votes this year to re-elect him. Win. Maguire, a very worthy young man, and Wm. H. Martin, who has forsome time been one ofthe most efficient Deputies in ihe Assessor’s office, are alleged to be the only contestants for the Recordership. Hegh J. Baldwin is willing to tuke his chances on being elected vounty Clerk. He will it is thought be nominated, but with all his 4ood qualities he will find the Democratic cause too much of a burden to carry through the contest to victory. . M. B. B. Potter has no objection to going after the superintendency of public schools, and at this writhing it looks as though ‘he migh. get an opportunity to test his going qualities. Potter knows all about schools, and ifhe will come over to the fold of Republicanism his ambition to warm the Superintendent’s seat at the courthonse may be gratified in the sweet by and by. a Joseph Gilbert seems to have the call on the nomination for Public Administrator. He is a firstclass man, and if he should by chance happen to slip into the place when the election comes off, dead people dying intestate need not be alarmed about the safety of their property. For Coroner and Surveyor, no candidates have yet made themselves apparent. e F, M. Pridgeon, the. present incumbent, and Hugh Pundon, are both up for the Supervixorship from the third District. ———__-om@me Beila Moore’s Company. The Bella.

. performed upon herself, Two well-known young men of this place who are nowin San Franand have hitherto borne good rbputations, are mentioned as being implicated in the disgraceful affair, although neither of them assisted in the proceeding which was the direct cause of the girl's death. Fannie was born in Grass Valley, removing from that place with her parents to Virginia City. Two vears or more ago she came to Nevada City, and about five months since went to San Francisco. The poor girl having been separated from influences of home and mother before she had arrived at years of discretion, shou'd not be judge! too harshl for her misstep. “She was ‘bright, pretty, and fond of society, and her company was considerably sought after by quile a number of young men. She was exposed tu many temptations, and it is not to be much wondered at that she strayed from the path of virtue. An inquest was held by the coroner, and among the facts elicited were the following: Mrs. Kate Henderson, in whose house she died, said she first knew of deceased’s. illness on Thursday last, but made no inquiries as to its nature. ; That same night she entered er room and found her unattended save by a young man named Ralph Bowerman. Dr. De Puy was called but the patient refused to tell him the nature of her —illhess. It appears that with woman’s instinct Mrs. Henderson had guessed the real truth, and on taxing the girl with it the latter confessed. She told the wit‘ness Dr. Dunbar had told her of her condition, had spoken of the instrament and asked her to step into the back room tomuake an examination. This she refused to do. The witness .said that the Dr. asked Miss Douglass why she did not ullow herself to be examined, and she replied that it. hurt her modesty. She said she hai afallon the back stairs on the Saturday evening previous to her being taken sick, and complained of pain in her side. “I was present,’’ saidthe witpness, “‘when the child was born, and I told her thatit was older than what she told me. She answered ‘yes,’ she knew it, and then said as far as she could rec. ollect she had been ia that condition about feur months. When asked concerning Bowerman, the witness ~ said she knew him as a lodger in the house, who roomed separately from the deceased. The dead girl stated at one time that Bowerman was the father of the child, but on birth she said it belonged’ to another man, but weuld not tell who, as she wanted Bowerman to labor under the impression that the child was his. When told of the report that Bowerman had purchased thé instrument, the deveased reiterated the statement that she had purchased it herself. Miss Mitchell testified in substance as follows: ‘Knew deceased for 6 or 7 years. Saw her last Monday.Called upon her as the representative of her mother. Her mother received a letter from Ralph Bowerman. The mother wished me to look after her daug!ters and report to her. Mr. Bowe: man stated in his letter that Fannie was sick. Went and had an interview with her. Q estioned her closely as to the nature of her illness and questioned Bowerman. She said she had not been feeling well since she came to San Francisco. She requested me to write toher mother for money. I did so. A week ago the deceased called upon me forthe result ot my letter. Gave her the reply. At 1 p. M. last Saturday her sisier came to my room and eaid that Fannie was very low with typhoid fever and if she did not receive the best of care she would not recuver. she asked. me to write to their mother for means. Called upon her Sunday night and was still under the impression that her illness was caused by typhoid fever. Mrs. Henderson tol i me that it was a case Of miscarriage. Asked her the particalars, who Fanny accased of being the father of tue child. She suid that Fanny had made a statement to Dr, de Puy, her doctoy; At first Fannie would not give me any satisfaction in answer to my questions. Told her she should talk as freely to me asto her mother, anu that the guilty should be knowns Siesaid she would tell me if I would promise not to say anything to Ralph Bowerman. } Y . me he boarded iu the same house, Se pegesrenenesenndsneigeeeces-eneeerte ene married to him but she wanted to get well first and that she had fooled him. She said he was a perfect gentleman and was in no way connected with this. That whe: she told him he felt .very bad about it, “but that he would have married her right there. I}. enjoined her to tell thegrath and asked her if Bowerman was the father of her chil:. She raised her hand and said, ‘I voluntarily swear he is not the father of my child, he has only been here six weeks.’ Asked her who was, and she, told me. She suid she was sure. She also suid she would sign a statement tu that effect for her mother as did not want Ralph to be blamed. I went into another room, procured pencil*and paper and wrote out a statement which I read toher. She said it was true and she was willing to sweur to it. She 1 also said she fully understoud it. Mrs. Henderson and myself raised herup and she signed it, ‘Fanny Douglass,’ ‘The party named by her was Frank Morrison. She told a 448 Sixth street. She said tiat she was criminally guilty _ with Frank Morrison iu Nevada City. She said she came here from Nevada City a week or ten duys after Frank Morrison.
