Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-05-12
Arrival Of Mr.. w. d. English and
Mr.. J.J. Flynn Of the State
Committee.

Capt. Barrett Ill arranging IOr
the Convention. Mr.. Flynn said
that he was surprised at the
actively displayed in Los Angeles.
The city was entirely different from
the place he expected to see, for he
had formed the impression that it was
all on paper, and that he would find
matters decidedly misrepresented.
Instead, he thought from what he
had observed that the half had been
lefl unsaid. He had never seen so
much building going on at once, and
he was surprised at the quality of the
buildings. The progress OF the city
was wonderful, and the growth was
OF an entirely different nature from
that Of San Francisco, which, he said,
had Just secured enough money to
complete its City Hall, which has
been in course OF construction for
fifteen years or more. The appearance
OF the streets, with thousands OF people
hurrying in all directions, conveyed
to him the idea that an immense
amount OF business was being done
here, and that there was no need to
cry ''dull times"
In relation 10 the Convention he
said, that he found arrangements near.
or perfect and completion than he had
ever known on a similar occasion
nearly the whole of the lists OF the
delegates were at hand, and all that
remained to be done was to receive
the people as they came and assign
them to their hotels.
About o'clock in the afternoon
Mr.. Flynn was driven to the Pavilion
by Mr.. Lacey, and there again he ex-
pressed his satisfaction at the appear.
ance OF the vast hall and at the ac-
commodations provided. The decor
ators had been laboring hard and had
succeeded in nearly completing the
hanging OF bunting in the auditorium,
while on the stage carpenters were at
work arranging stands for flowers,
which will be in place to day, when
photographs will be taken OF
the hall from various positions.
From the center of the ceiling huge
streamers oil bunting are carried in
various directions, while directly over
the stage is suspended large flag,
under which will be placed motto.
The balconies are draped with the
bright colored bunting, and on the
various pillars are punches of ever
green's tastefully arranged. The drap
cry of the doorways leading into the
committee rooms has been hand
stmely arranged, and by noon to-day
thousand silk flags will be in position,
besides several other notices. 0 er
the entrance to the main floor are two
handsome silk banners, loaned by
General Miles for the occasion. and on
either side Of these, in front OF the first
balcony rail are shields with appro-
pirate inscriptions. The seats allotted
to each delegation will be designated
plainly with banners, 80 that there
will be no confusion. In front of the
stage the tables for the reporters will
be placed, and accommodation will
be provided for fifty representatives.
OF The press.
Mr.. Flynn said that the Pavilion
was great deal better place for the
Convention than was the hall used in
San Francisco at the last State Con-
vention held there. He was satisfied
that the members OF the Convention
would find themselves much better
accommodated than a similar body
ever was before in this State,
After the Pavilion had been in
spected, Mr.. Flynn was driven up the
hill and surveyed the city from vari
Gus points. He had nothing bu; ad-
miration to express for all the especial
features pointed out.
Mr.. Kelly, who is native son, is a
candidate for the Secretaryship OF the
Convention. He comes to Los Ange-
les with the very best of records, and
is hard worker in the interests OF the
Democracy. He is bright, and fully
understands the duties which are in
cumbent upon the Secretary. He was
occupied all day yesterday in attend
ing to the details of the Convention.
So far, but few OF the delegations
have notified the Committee that they
are coming, and as a consequence,
their rooms have not yet been as
signed Tie only notifications re-
ceived up to last night were from San
Francisco, which delegation will oc-
cupy rooms at the Hollenbeck, with
headquarters in the conservatory
Santa Clara, assigned 10 the United
States Hotel; Alameda, assigned to
the Nadeau and San Joaquin assigned
to the Oxford. Headquarters for the
representatives of the press have been
secured at the Nadeau at which place
MIR. w. d. English, Chairman Of the
State Central Committee will also

cursion to Santa Monica next Tues
day afternoon will be composed of
sixteen cars and that the invitions for
this have already been sent ou'.
