increase the same to 100 memb bers, and in

to do so they had selected that number

Republican and Democratic Committees

Democratic portion of the "Invitation''

Sacramento as a place for holding the
State Convention.
Mr.. Jones submitted the following
copy OF the communication addressed to
the members of the Republican State
Central Committee:
SACRAMENTO, March 12, 1894.
Dear Sir: AT a mass meeting OF citizens of
Sacramento, held on Monday evening Feb
ruary goth, the undersigned were appointed
committee to lay before you the advantages
that Sacramento offers as site 1or the session
OF the Republican State Convention of 1894
and to respectfully solicit your influence on
r behalf OF this city as the place where the con-
Vention should be held. In support of our re-
quest we will cite the following facts:
Flrst-Sacramento is the most centrally To-
Gated point in the State. II is the center into
which is focused the railroad travel from the
tier of counties along the line of the Shasta
and Oregon route, from the tier OF counties
along the Central Pacific overland route from
Valley to 1ehachapl ana beyond and along
the west and east sides OF the Sacramento
River to the bay OF San Francisco.
Second-Sacramento offers better accommo-
datlons in the way of meeting rooms than
any otner city in the State. There is ample
room not only for the meetings OF the conven-
tion itself, but for district conventions and
caucuseS in the cOmmodiouS, comfortable and
elegantly furnished apartments of the State
Capitol building. There are in the same build
ing branch Offices OF the Western Union and
the Postal Telegraph systems, which viii be
found to be very great convenience to the
members OF the convention.
can county in the State. She has never been
found wanting in the matter of enthusiasm
votes or financial aid when called upon by the
party. She therefore may, with good grace
ask your committee to select the State Capital
as the site for the convention.
Fourth-The undersigned have collected the
necessary funds for the payment of ali the
regular legitimate expenses of the convention,
including headquarters for the State Central
Committee. Added to this, of course, will be
the warm hearted hospitality OF Sacramento.

your favorable consideration, we beg leave to
remain, yours for the grand old party,

A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE.
Mr.. Hinkson said the letter sent to the
Democratic State Committee was very
much like that read by Mr.. Jones, except
that in referring to the fact that .Sacra-
mento had been the banner Republican
county. they had added that the Demo-
Gratis had on numerous occasions of late
been able to down the Republicans, and
hoped TO do SO again and again. Also,
that the coming of the Democratic State
Convention would materially help them
out in future conquests.
OTHER BUSINESS.
Secretary Funston read a communica-
he would necessarily be absent for sew
eral weeks, and therefore rendered his
resignation as Chairman of the Joint In
vitation Committee.
The resignation was accepted, and on
motion of &. \. Post it was decided that
the committee should meet at his Office
this evening and choose someone to fill
the vacancy.
j. o. Coleman was selected as an addi-
tional member of the original Republican
Subcommittee.
Z. Z. Smith, Chairman of the Demo-
cratic Subcommittee, stated that he
would call that committee together this
evening at Chairman Hinkson's office.
Chairman Hinkson said he for one
would cheerfully wait on the members of
both State committees and do what he
could to induce them to favor Sacra-
mento.
All members of the committees present
signified their willingness to attend,
either one or both State committee meet
ings in the interest of Sacramento.
