REORGANIZING THE PARTY.
THE UNION LEAGUE CLUB TAKING
STEPS TO INSURE REPUB-
LICAN SUCCESS.
A COMMITTEE OF SEVEN WILL BE
APPOINTED BY PRESIDENT
BACKUS.

A committee of seven Republicans,
whose duty will be to take steps looking to
the reorganization of the Republican party
in San Francisco, will be appointed within
day or two by President Backus of the
Union League Club.
This is to be done in accordance with a
resolution adopted by the club On Saturday
night. 1t is the aim of the club to reorgan-
lie the party on a proper basis for the next
campaign.
1t was the expression of the club that the
Republic Central Committee, under it's
present organization, has not the confidence
of the Republican voters of the city, and
that it will be utterly futile to attempt to
control the party in such way as to in
sure Republican victory.
This committee will be called upon to
ask the +, support of all good citizens,
whether members of the Union League
Club or not, in the effort to reorganize the
party in this city on lines that will insure
Republican success in the next campaign,
and prepare the way for other and further
Republican victories.
The names of the members of the COM
mittee will be announced this week, and
will be entirely free from all entangling al
Hances, and those features which have
heretofore caused defeat.

for the first time the number and attract
iveness of our theaters is always subject
for favorable comment. This may be a
'sjay' town in the opinion of some dra-
matte stars, but they are forced to confess
that proportionately it contains more and
better theaters than any other city in the
Union.
To the present number another is to be
added within a short time. 1t is to be a
combination of opera house and roof
garden, modelled after the Casino and
Madison-square Gardens of New York.
The building is to be erected by f. w.
Kreling & Son and will cost 100000. The
plans have already been prepared by Arch
itect William II. Armitage.
Negotiations are now pending to secure
the lease of some property on Ellis street,
near Powell, but if these fail site will be
secured on Mason street, near Market.
Both sites are available. and the only
question is as to the term of years for
which the lease is to be secured AT pres
ent the negotiations are favorable and it is
thought will be concluded within few
days.

entrance, which takes in two stories, will
be twenty-four feet in the clear, with a
Moorish arch. To the left of this is a side
entrance leading to the bar in the base
ment, and the office will be located on the
right. Over these entrances there will be
four rose windows of attractive design
placed equidistant from side to side.
Upon entering the foyer of the theater
one will see to the left a wide fight of
stairs leading to the dress circle, while to
the right will be an elevator connecting the
basement and garden on top. The finish of
the orchestra and parquet will be in
stucco with Moorish ornamentation.
There will be six private loges on either
side of the proScenium finished in silver,
blue and damask. The lighting will be by
means of incandescent lamps.
The dress circle and balcony above will
be finished and provided with exits lead
