II. 4. Osborne of Los Angeles and NJ. A.

Craig and L. ii. Foulke of GaZelle by
proxy of Secretary Bassett. The attend
ance was large for The first meeting of the
campaign. and the principal business to be
decided upon was the coming meeting of
the State Central Committee. 1t was de-
cided after some discussion to hold that
meeting in this city May at 2 o'clock, the
meeting place TO be decided upon by tho
chairman and secretary of the executive
committee. The principal business of the
State committee will be to fix the time and
place and apportlonment 10 the next Re-
publican State convention. Jake Step
pacher, the assistant secretary, has already
prepared the tables of the apDOrtionment
of delegates on the basis of votes cast for
Governor Markham in 1890. and upon the
basis o votes cast for highest Republican
candidate for Presidential elector in 1892
The four new counties. Glenn. Riverside,
Kings and MADEIRA, which were created
after the election Tor Governor. are not yet
apportioned on the basis of their votes,
and Mr.. Steppacher was therefore in
stracted to ascertain the votes of the sew
eral new counties for that purpose. The
total vote for Governor was 125 129, and
for electOr 11S,027, yielding total num-
Der of delegates on $50 of 4S5 on the guber-
material basis, and 442 on the electoral
basis. On the first mentioned this would
make 108 delegates for San Francisco, and
81 on the electoral basis. The difference
is not so great in the other counties:
Scipi0 Craig of Redlands spoke on the
matter Of the creation of the new county
of Riverside and questioned whether the
assembly district could be legally changed
from the institutional method Of the
population in the district. AS it is now,
Riverside County takes away the southern
portion of the Seventy-seventh and Sew
entv-eighth assembly districts. and if it is
represented as q county, the question
arises what will be done with the other
districts in San BorDardino. Mr.. Craig
scented a grave question here and the
matter was referred to the legal commit
tee.
G. n. Wolfe, president of the State Re-
publican College League, appeared before
the committee with Lewis II. Smith Of the
Stanford University Republican League
to urge the sending of Mr.. Smith as dele
gate TO attend the National Convention of
the College Republican Leagues which
couvepes at Syracuse. n. Y, on April 6.
The committee considered the matter
favorably, and Mr. Smith will be the dele
gate to the convention.
The absence of Vice-Chairman j. n. E.
Wilson, who is in Mexico. was not COM
mented upon. He has not, it is asserted.
resigned from the committee, and no one,
so far, has been appointed vice-chairman
In his place.
