DEMOCRATIC POLITICS.
Meeting and Members of the Democratic
State Central Committee.

State Central Committee.
The Democratic State Central Committee
will meet in San Francisco next Tuesday,
to consider matters of interest 10 the party
and to decide upon the time and place of
holding the Democratic State Convention.
In this connection an effort is being made
to have Sacramento selected as the place
for the Convention, and to that end cir
| cular letter has been sent to each member
of the committee signed by L. o. Cravens
and E. G Blessing, members OF the State
Central Committee, urging such selection
for the following reasons
First-It is the capital of the State, and
hence by natural selection, and the usual
| custom of other States, the proper place for
the holding of all State Conventions of
political nature.
Seeond-From its geographical loca-
ton as railroad center, and its excellent
railroad facilities, it is more central and
easy of access, and will be more likely to
secure the personal attendance of a larger
number of delegates than any other place
in the State: and in this connection We
call your attention to the fact that three
fourths of the delegates to the Convention
can reach Sacramento from their respective
county seats in less than eight hours time,
and at comparatively trifling expense.
Third-We believe that we cannot too
strongly urge the necessity of securing the
personal attendance of delegates directly
from the people. in order that the Conven-
ton may, to that extent at least, be a rep
resentatiye body, and far more likely to
meet the Approval of voters in the selection
of candidates than would Convention of
proxies. A proxy Convention can in no
sense be considered a representative Con-
vention, and the danger of disastrous con-
sequences following such a Convention at
this time cannot be over-estimated.
d" Fourth-The State Capitol, with its
spacious Assembly chamber, and numer-
Gus committee rooms, furnishes all that
can be desired in the way of a hall and
committee rooms for the use of the Con-
vention. free of charge. Our hotel facilities
are ample for the accommodation of dele
gates and all who may desire TO attend the
Convention. The Sacramento members of
the committee are authorized TO say that
the Assembly chamber Will be furnished
free for the use of the Convention a re-
ception committee will be provided, who
Will procure quarters for delegations in adj
vance, if requested So to do and at reason
able rates.

William d. English is Chairman, and Jas.
