REED AND ALISON TALK.
The Man From Maine Taught School in
California and Remembers 1t With
Youthful Fo8d1ess.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 23.-Thus
far two Republican Presidential candi-
dates have expressed themselves on the
proposition to hold the next National con-
vention in San Francisco.
When THE CALL correspondent asked
Thomas B. Reed for an expression last
winter'he deliherated some time, with his
pen in hand, before he wrote:
eff wonderful country, beautiful city,
generous welcome and boundless hos
pitality could annihilate time and dis
lance, San Francisco would be without a
rival or peer"
After indiring the message the Maine man
scratched his head, and after obviously de-
llberating for some time, finally drawled
out: 1.-THE last rather implies that time
and distance cannot be annihilated, don't
it?"
He was thinking about how such mes
sage would be received in California, and
whether his expression might not be con-
strued as declaring that San Francisco was
all right, but too remotely situated; but he
finally decided to let it stand, and spelled
annihllate with one en-" but this little
matter was one of detail and easily COR
rected by the proof-reader.
Besides it is long while since Mr.. Reed
conned McGuffey's spelling-book in the
pinsy woods OF Maine, or since he taught
the young idea how to spell in California.
Secretly, Mr.. Reed would be glad to have
the National convention held in Cali
fornia. Senator Perkins, Congressman
Loud. Hilborn and Bowers ana other Cali
fornians have represented to him truth
fully that he is very popular in California.
Besides he has a romantic affection for the
State where he taught school, where he
was admitted to the bar and where he tried
his first law case.
Another Presidential candidate who is
cautious and tender-footed ~ when it
comes to expressing an opinion on matters
of public Importance is Allison. His con-
coded and eminent ability is as well known
as his excessive discretion.
1t was some time before Mr.. Allison
could be prevailed upon to say anything
whatever Finally he completed the fol-
lowing, which is now published for the
first time:
To Charles H. Shortrtdge, Call San Francisco:
The deserved reputation of your people for
generous hospitality will insure delegates and
visitors an agreeable journey to the Pacific
Coast and a pleasant visit to San Francisco,
should that city be selected by the National
Committee as the proper place for the assem-
bling of the National Republican Convention.
Respectfully yours, w. B. ALLISON.
1t is observed that both these Presiden-
tial candidates offer little taffy to Cali
fornia without expressing any preference
whatever. 1t is believed that Allison
would like San Francisco to get the con-
vention. This belief is strengthened by
the fact that Colonel Clarkson, his bench
man, has expressed himself emphatically
In favor of the Golden Gate city.

Foote, $40

NJ. J. Keller, president of the Board of
Trade-It will be big card for the Repub-
lican party to hold National convention
in San Francisco, because of the strength
of the silver party and the Peoples party.
ltwould popularize the party to great ex-
tent and strengthen it all over the coast.
Besides, it would be big advertisement
for the City to have 10000 men come from
all parts of the United States in midsum-
mer. Oakland will no doubt do her share
toward the entertainment fund, although
the brunt of the burden will fall on the
City, as she will get the benefit of all
money spent.

vention of any party is big thing, and
would be of tremendous Importance to the
State at large If held in San Francisco

cratic convention at st. Louis as dele
gate, and shall never forget it. There
were great throngs in attendance from all
sections of the United States. During its
session all eyes of the world were focused
there, and if it is held here the same will
result. No one thing would better adver-
tise our State, and that is the one thing we

come.
j. w. Evans, president of the Board of
Education-To have the convention held
in San Francisco would result in educating
the politicians and representative men of
this country regarding the extent of this
great country of ours. No one who has
not travelled across the continent couple
of times can have any idea of the vast
possibilities yet undeveloped. Very few
of our leading men have ever been west of
the Rocky Mountains and it is time they
knew more of the vast realm west of these
mountains. Our Congressman and SEN
ators would all attend and thus be greatly
benefited by learning more OF the needs of
the country.
The Oakland Enquirer editorially referred
to the effort to secure the convention last
evening and says:
BY all means we should have the Re-
publican Convention If we can get it. It
will give some thousands of people the
only opportunity they will be likely ever
to have to see Presidential convention in

believe il would be greatly to- the advantage
OF San Francisco to have the National Conven-
ton meet here
General w. n. Dimond, president OF the
Chambe of Commerce, and head of the
firm of Williams, Dimond & Co., said he
was heartily in favor of the project to
bring the convention to San Francisco,
and the firm to which he belonged would
make contribution to the fund. He was
not prepared to say, without consulting
his associates, how large the subscription
would be.
When asked if the Chamber of Com
merce would assist in the work, he said:
1 will cheerfully call the members of the
Chamber of Commerce together and submit
the proposition whenever it is deemed advisa-
BILE. The sentiment OF the mercantile commu-
nifty, as 1 understand it, is heartily in favor of
the project. Yes, the Chamber OF Commerce
will take up the subject whenever action be-
comes necessary.
A quartet of stalwart Democrats. con-
sisting of B. D. Marphy of San Jose, ex-
Senator Maddox, Surveyor W. D. English
and Ryland Wallace, said they would chip
in as citizens of California to bring the
convention here. Mr.. English remarked :
We are all for having the convention here,
and while Barney Murphy may not tell you
what his subscription will be, he will give his
share when the hat is passed around
A. A. Watkins, chairman of the Demo

really enthusiastic over having the Repub-

We all realize the dvantage-irrespective OF
party, Democrats, Republicans, Populi.ts-all

for the common good. The class of rep

zee California at time of the year when the
State looks its best. And they would carry
home with them lasting and favorable i'm
pressions of our State.

The Electric Road to Marlboro.

While there has been much talk of a
proposed line from the Capital to Mari

public any solid impression that there was
much chance of its naturalization. But
there is really good ground for stating
that the prospects for an early line OF
transit in that direction are very encour-
aging.
And why not: Such Il line would open
up country that is not eXcelled for fer

is no distance on an electric line from any

it would require only twelve miles to reach
