The stalwart Republicans of this city
who make up the Union League Club
rendered sort of an informal reception
to Mr.. Vandever last evening, at the
rooms on First street. About fifty mem.
bers of the club were present. Jack
Kelley, the President of the club, occu-
pied the chair during the first part of the
evening and Captain Seamans during
The latter part. After some opening re-
marks by Mr.. Kelley, Mr.. Vandever was
given the floor. He spoke for some
time on the condition of the Republican
party in this State and throughout the
nation, and then took up seriatim the
various questions which would be likely
to come before Congress during the next
session. He promised to exert himself
to the utmost to secure larger appropri.
alton for the public building in
Los Angeles, that the work on a
mora extended scale might begin as soon
as possible. He said that he would also
put in good deal of work to secure a
large appropriation for the DEVELOPMENT
of San Pedro harbor. He spoke at some
length upon the matter of the annex
alton of Lower California, which was
evident was favorite idea with him.
He referred to the matter of a Pacific
steamship subsidy, and warmly endorsed
the idea that the Government should
grant assistance to enterprises of that
character. On the matter of the in
equalities of the Interstate Commerce

that some sort of relief would soon be
given the Pacific roads whereby they
would no longer suffer from the unfair
opposition of the Canadian Pacific. His
remarks were listened to with close at.
tention, and at the end he was treated to
considerable applause.
The next speaker was Judge Carpen-
ter, who had something very emphatic
to say about the matter of the offices
within the gift of the President in this
section. AS yet none of the Democrats
had been removed. The Republicans
had waited until patience had ceased to
be virtue, and plain talk was necessary.
The President was making serious mis-
take, and hurting both himself and his
party. For one he had voted for Mr..
Harrison because he was Republican
and because he, the speaker, wanted to
see Republicans in Office, not merely at
the top, but all the way down. The boys
had all turned in and worked we'll before
the election, and had achieved great re-
suits. As reward they we're asked to
stand around and wait until the
present Democratic ofice.holders'
terms were up. Plenty of good men
could be found who could discharge ths
duties of these Offices with credit to their
party, and it was shame they should
not be called in. The remarks of Judge
Carpenter we're greeted with loud ap-
plause, and it was evident that they met
the views Of tie good Republicans who
were present. These things to hear did
General Vandever seriously incline, but
he said nothing
Then followed short speeches on vari-
GUS matters of politics and of local inter-
est by Judge Haynes, Judge Treat Capt.
Seamans, Governor Gosper, General
Briefly, Hervey Lindley, III. q. Osborne
and Judge Ovens. The meeting ad-
journed at about 10 o'clock.
