SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23-This city
is after the national Republican conven-
ton, and work has just cormneced n
earnest to that end. At the end of the
first davis work $4,000 had been subscribed
toward proposed fund of 800, 900, which
will be necessary If the convent com es
to the Pacific coast. Prominent men OF
all parties are working 10 bring the con-

by members of the national com mittee
that San Francisco claims will be given
careful consideration.

CLEVELAND, o., Oct. 25.-The Cleve-
land chambe of commerce will within
few uays send to the cham bers of COM
merce of 200 cities in the United States a
circular giving the action of the Cleve'
land body In requesting the Republican
and Democratic national conventions to
shorten the time of presidential cam
palgns from six months to three months.
The reason given for making the reque st
is that these campaigns invariably I'M
settle business affairs and do an actual
amount of damage to commerce and
manufacturing. The chambers to which
tho circulars will be sent will be asked
to take the same action.
The morning newspapers of this city
intend to have the national Republican
convention held in San Francisco if lib
thing. They have started to raise the
500, 900 or more necessary to pay the ex-
penses of the convention and have made
liberal donations to the fund them selves.
Some time ago the Call offered $4,000.
BUT nothing ever came of it. Then the
Examiner subscribed $1,000 and sarted a
subscription list among the merchants
of the city, raising $4,000 the .:rst day.
Then the Call said its first offer of $4,000
still held good. The Chronicle has joined
the procession by putting up $500 and
now the Examiner goes the Call one bet

prospect OF more if it is necessary. So
