UNION LEAGUES ACTION.
A large and enthusiastic meeting was
held at Union League headquarters
yesterday afternoon to take action on
the coming visit of President Harrison.
j Hon. E. F. Spence presided, and Louis
Dlankenhorn acted as secretary. j. A.
Kelly, president Of the league, stated
the object of the meeting, and the dis
cussion which followed developed the
fact that most of those present believed
that the league should take the initia-
tive in receiving the president, and
should be accorded the first place of
honor in the ceremonies that attended
his visit. President Harrison is on the
roll of the Union League of Los Angeles
sas an honorary member, and it
lis owing to this circumstance
that the leaguers lay first claim in
honoring the distinguished tourist.
There was a decided sentiment in favor
of holding a formal reception at the
club rooms on Second street, but as
such independent action might conflict
with the arrangements of the other Or
CARNATIONS and the citizens in general,
it was resolved to appoint committee
of five to consult with the committees
of other bodies, and decide on plan of
procedure. Accordingly the following
k<a kAI y
r. Spence ex-officio chairman: J. A.
Kelly, Judge Lamme, Judge Alexander
Campbell, Chief of Police Glass and
Colonel G. Wiley Wells, the committee
to report to a meeting of the league
Thursday evening. The committee was
instructed to arrange for separate re.
ception of the president and party, if
possible, by the Union League.
