The Assembly Chamber of the State Cap
itol was generously placed at the commit
tees disposal by Secretary of State Hen
bricks, together with the free use of ad-
joining committee-rooms. The handsome
chamber has been decorated by the local
committee in most attractive manner. A
large flag has been festooned in the rear of
the Chairman's desk, with a floral shield
in its center. representing the States coat
OF arms. Around the walls are suspended
at frequent intervals long banners, each
bearing the name of some county. while
flags, streamers, SHIELDS and other decora-
tions adorn the walls and ceilings. In
front of the gallery are fsstoons of smilax
and other evergreens, the effect of which
against the marble whiteness of the back
ground is very pretty.
The hallway leading from the rotunda
of the second floor to the door of the As
sembly Chamber has also been beauti6ed
by overhead festoons and streamers of the
national colors. The rotunda itself has
been supplied with a row of chairs ar
ranged about the walls, where delegates
and candidates may rest themselves when
wearied from their eXhausting labors in
the Convention.
The floor of the ball has been covered
with canvas, and chairs sufficient to seat
all the delegates have been arranged inside
the railing, leaving the lobby and galleries
for occupation by visitors. As many desks
as space could be found for have been
placed in front of the Secretary's desk for
the use of press reporters and correspond
ents but the committee has found it me-
cessary to limit these privileges to the rep
resentatives of the leading daily journals of
San Francisco and Sacramento.
In the labors of the committee it has
received valuable assistance from Secretary
Steppacher of the State Central Committee,
who has spent the last two weeks in the
city for that purpose.
Headquarters for the State Central Com
mittee were established at Parlor No. 81 in
the Capital Hotel, at Seventh and K streets,
and they were yesterday thrown open to
the public. Secretary Steppacher and
other members of the State Committee
were on hand to receive visitors, as also
were some members of the Citizens Re-
ception Committee. As there will be an
unusually large number of visitors in the
city, it is specially desired that members of
the Reception Committee will come for
ward and do all in their power to help en-
terrain the city's guests. The opportunity
is afforded to show to people from every
county in the State-"from Siskiyou to San
Diego and the Sierra to the sea"-that
when Sacramento issues a cordially ex-
pressed invitation to them to come here
and accept the inequalities of her citizens,
she means what she says.
The names of the members of the Re-
ception Committee are as follows:
