REPUBLICANS GATHER AT THE
STATE CAPITAL.
The Delegates on the Ground and
Lively Caucusing in Progress
Candidates Numerous.

around the Golden Eagle Hotel during the
night was an animated one Politicians
were buzzing and buttonholing, and differ
ent delegations were getting together and
holding caucuses, while individual candi-
dates were exceedingly active in pressing
their claims, and there was every indica-
ton that the Convention would be very
harmonious one.
The press Of the State was well repre-
scented by George D. Squires, of the Balle-
itn; John P. Cosgrave. of the Examiner !: J.
W. Pratt, of the Call; Thomas E. Flynn,
of the Chronicle; T. T. Williams and James
Slavin, of the Post, E H. Hamilton and E.
II. Clough, of the Oakland Tribune, and w.
L. Eason, of the Oakland Times.
There appeared to be little contest over
the Craftsmanship of the Convention, Hon.
NJ. NJ. Estee being the only one promi-
nently mentioned for that honor. For Sec
Frank D. Ryan, of Sacramento, are candi-
dates

There was a caucus of the Sixth Con-
gressional District at the Golden Eagle Ho-
tel, held under the craftsmanship of Gen
eral w. S. Backus, of Santa Barbara. K.
Merose and John Lowell acted as Secre-
taries. The meeting, which was private,
broke up without taking any action,
but there was an informal discussion
of the claims of candidates for delegate at
large. Tom Fitch, of San Diego, made an
appeal on his own behalf, but the name of
Henry I. Gage found the most hearty sup
port when it was mentioned. Several of
the delegates spoke in favor of making
concessions on all sides in the interest of
harmony.

gates from all of the counties except Mari
