AUBURN AND REDDING COME IN
Now Is the Time for All Who Want
to Assist to Come In and Show
Their Sincerity.

Now is the time for all those who mean
business to come to the front and show
their depth of sincerity by lending help
ing financial hand to the plan of securing
the next Republican Convention. Our
delegates to Washington. in whose hands
the work of working on the National Com
mitteemen has been placed, are about to
go to the capital for the purpose of driving
the last spike for the City and the coast.
In order to make a proper showing while
there it will be necessary to have some
money in hand. A great many of our
most prominent citizens have signified q
Willingness to assist in paying these ex-
penses by sending in 5 per cent of the
amount they guaranteed to subscribe and
il has been a most material help in getting
the delegates away on their mission which
means so much to US.
The finance committee has succeeded in
securing signatures to the amount of
$IOO, 600 in San Francisco al one, and the
returns from the interior indi cate some
thing IN the neighborhood of $50, 900 more.
No movement was ever ipaugurated in
this State that brought forth such good re-
suits as the present one, and even if the
desired result is not reached it will have
had the effect of showing Californians that
the State is unit on all propositions for
its good.
The National Committee meets in Wash
ington on the 10th of December, and it is
necessary that by that time California has
marshaled her strength in good order,
ready for the fight that is bound to occur
there. Pittsburg, Chicago and New York
are after the same prize that We desire,
and it is likely that very lively struggle
will be waged for the plum.
In order that the men who have indi-
Gated their faith in the movement should
have an understanding of what is expected
of them, Wendell Easton yesterday sent
out the following communication to all
those who had offered to assist in the work
that cannot be carried on without funds:
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25, 1895.
Dear Sir: The executive committee in
charge of the citizens movement to secure the
Republican National Convention for San Fran
cisco beg to report most satisfactory progress.
Our work is we'll in hand and interest through
out the State awakened.
The finance committee report that there will
be no difficulty in raising $15O,0OO to $500, 900
in this City, and the reports from the interior
insure another $50,Oc0; actual subscriptions
in hand to-day, 100000.
The committee appointed to present the
claims of California before the National Com
mittee are now ready to proceed to Washing
ton; in fact, three of them are now en- route.
That this work may be properly carried out
fund for this special purpose must be pro-
vided, and we respectfully invite all citizens
who feel an interest in the cause to hand to
our committee such voluntary subscriptions
as they see fit, and we invite all the present
subscribers to the general fund to favor US
with donation of 5 per cent OF their SUBJ
scription
All remittances can be addressed to the
rooms of the executive committee, Nos 100
and 1O1, Chronicle building, which will be
deposited at once with the treasurer, Louis
Sloss Jr., and only paid out on drafts signed

tersigned by the secretary of this com init ttee.
All unused funds, after this preliminary work
is COM pleted, will be at once returned to the
voluntary subscribers in proportion to their

final action when it ascertains the condition
of this preliminary subscription fund. Re-
