CORRESPONDENCE.

sights, " n sailor on horse back" but the
ridiculosity," as Senator Sumner would
say, of She aforesaid marine equestrian is
fully equalled if not surpassed by the
appearance OF your Business Manager in
the city of San Francisco. Thirteen
years continuous residence in the mount
aims estranges one from city habits, how
ever well he may have been informed
regarding them previously, but when one
is raised from boyhood remote from ev-
erything savoring of city life, he indeed
finds himself ga stranger in strange
land" when set down in the heart Of
great metropolis.
OLD TRINITARIANS.
| arrived here Sunday evening, 10th,
and although confined to my room the
greater part of the time, have met several
former residents of our county Of whomII
am well satisfied your readers will be
pleased to learn. Stopping at the Brook
lyn Hotel upon arriving, met Mr.. Oscar
Fitch, formerly of Trinity Center, now
night clerk at the Brooklyn. Chas. w.
Gordon, formerly connected with the
JOURNAL, has Job Printing Office cor
ner Of Sansome and Sacramento, and
judging from appearances is doing very
thriving business. Charlie has many
warm friends in the city, and with his
business tact, energy and industry is GER
tain to do well. G. NJ. Stratton, member
of the Tide Land Commission, is looking
very well indeed, and not being crowded
with business in the Office has some leisure
time to devote to his country cousins"
and being well acquainted in the city
find him the most agreeable of COM
panions-just as he always was. He is
still greatly interested in everything per-
tanning to Trinity county and | have
reason to believe that ere long his inAu-
ence in this city will induce capital to
seek investment in our county, He pro-
poses a visit to Trinity this Summer. V.
V. Wilson is in Il grocery and provision
store on Clay street just below Montgom-
cry. He appears to hold his own"-in
fact is the same Wilson as when clerking
for Pierce, Church IL Co., in Weavervile,
fifteen years ago. Capt /. &. Mcssec has
an office at 306 Montgomery street, and
looks as though the world dealt kindly
with him. During the fore part Of the
week he was mostly engaged in business
connected with the Democratic State
Convention. Messec is for Greeley but
will undoubtedly support whoever is put
forward by the Baltimore Convention.
b. Block, formerly with Greenhood q
New bauer, is clerl>ing for Glazier IL Sal
isbury, stock brokers, and although kept
very busy during business hours, is al
ways glad to meet a friend from Trinity.
Eberhart Il Lachman, among the most
prominent wine dealers on this coast.
They do very heavy business, both
wholesale and retail. Abe Lohman is
with him. Vincent Ryan, Of the late
Trinity Press is in the city, as he expresses
it taking it easy for week or two"
Among others whom | have met are S.
Morey, formerly of Wcavervie, IL. Cam
trowitz, of Douglas city, and Frank Con-
nor, of Oregon Gulch.
b, c. Wattles, of Lower Trinity, was
stopping at the Russ House during the
past week but will probably have returned
home by the time this letter is published
He has friends here of influence and
means and through whom he expects to
do much towards developing the dormant
mining resources of Trinity. There are
many other Trinity people in this city
whom | shall endeavor to hunt up as
soon as the doctor in whose charge | am
will allow me greater liberty. As it is at
present | have but a few hours each day
and that amounts to little here.
At the depot in Sacramento, met II.
A. Jones and Smith KiIbury, both of
whom were passengers on the up train;
the former en- route to Nevada, the latter
to Utah. Also met Arthur Kenney who
has a shoe shop in Sacramento He talks
Of returning to Weaverville soon.
THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION
Was in session here last Wednesday and
Thursday. Resolutions were passed Gu
logiling the Cincinnati Convention and
nominees and delegates We're elected to
attend the Baltimore Convention on the
9th proXimo. Although the delegates to
the National Convention were not in
structed, it is generally understood that
they will indorse Greeley and Brown.
The Convention here was not altogether
a harmonious one. Considerable sur
prise was manifested among old Trinity
Democrats here at our county not being
represented - neither 10y delegate nor
proXy-but the only reason | could give
them was that Trinity Democrats were
Democrats, and as such were not yet pre-
pared to swallow II. G. but that many Of
them probably would be by November
next. | also put in a claim to good sense
for some Of my Democratic friends by
saying that between Greeley and Grant
they would choose the latter, and verify
believe they will. Although the dele
gates to Baltimore are all Greeley men,
a resolution instructing them to indorse
him would have been lost in the Conven-
ton. Democrats here are not at all en-
thusiastic and Greeley will be very
bitter pill indeed, but sugar-coated with
" "anything to beat Grant " most Of them
will probably swallow him, although
many declare they will not.
