early for that plan, Senator Sharon will

The meeting, by resolution requested the

coded to the request to accompany the com

man, and welcome the Presidential party on
the eastern borders of the State. That COM
mittee now consists of Governor Perkins,

Mr.. Larue being called upon relative to his
visit to Governor Stanford, stated that sew
eral Of the officers and Directors of the State
Board of Agriculture had called upon Gov
ernor Stanford, and requested him in behalf
of the Board and the citizens of Sacramento,
to act as special host to the Presidential
party during its stay in Sacramento. The
Governor replied that he felt great delicacy
about doing 50. He said he had been spoken
to about it, and had given qualified reply
He did not wish to assume to himself to ask
the President to be his guest Mr. Larue
responded that the Board and citizens were
prepared to receive and entertain the party
but none of the Board had mansion
adapted, and the request was made
by the people Of Sacramento and
by the Board, because of the we'll
| known hospitality OF Governor Stanford, his
known willingness to oblige, and because,
having been Governor OF the State of Cali
fornia, and an old citizen of the capital city,
it was deemed eminently proper. Where
upon Governor Stanford said that if it was
! the request of the citizens and the Board and
! he was invited in their behalf, he would
cheerfully come to Sacramento and entertain
the Presidential party in his home, with such
hospitality as became citizen of California
and the guests the city Of Sacramento was to
receive.
| Mr. McClatchy, at the conclusion of the
statement of Mr.. Larue, moved, and it was
| adopted unanimously, that the committee, on
behalf of the citizens OF Sacramento, request
| Governor Leland Stanford to act as special
host in their behalf to the President and his
party, and entertain them at his residence.
The matter was then discussed as to what
should be the procedure on the passage of the
party through the city ON the 9th instant,
aud it was finally agreed that the public &C.
acknowledgement of the coming OF the Presi-
| dent should be entirely informal, all cere-
| mony being reserved until his formal rec6p-
| ton on the Dist and ODD. Bat it was agreed
that if the hour of arrival on the 9th is ap-
propriate that notes be given and the people
requested to assemble at the depot, and that
the President be introduced to the people !
that to that end Superintendent Pratt be re- |
quested to have the depot cleared Of cars if !
