WE went to press before any news from
the Republican State Convention had reached
here, but we will make one prediction, and
that is that if the San Francisco delegation
raises the Goat Island question that it will be
laid on the table, or similarly disposed of,
and that this news will be telegraphed to
Washington City as conclusive evidence that
the Republican party of California are for
giving Goat Island to Stanford * Co. This
will not be far wrong, for we do believe that
the men who control that party belong to the
railroad monopoly.
