OUR COAST LINE.
THE MILLIONS IN THE EAST HAVE
No IDEA OF IT'S EXTENT.

Joseph B. Redding said; - think it
would be a splendid thing to have the con-
vention here, both for the city and State
and also for the vast majority of the popu-
lation east of the Rocky Mountains. The
60,0OO,OO0 people who live in the East do
not realize the extent of our coast line and
the requirements for its protection. The
necessity of recognition in Congress is as
great in California as elsewhere, and
visit to our coast by national legislators
would make easy the road to just and
proper consideration.
1.-The national conferences of the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties bring to-
gether the leading citizens of the whole
country, and gathering of this kind in
San Francisco would certainly strengthen

DEMOCRATS WILL ASSIST.
COLLECTOR WISE AND OTHERS
IMPRESSED WITH THE IDEA.

Collector Wise said he would gladly aid
any movement looking to the bringing of
the Republican national convention to
San Francisco. He had given this subject
considerable thought when the suggestion
was made to induce the Democrats to hold
their national convention here in 1884.
at would be great stroke for the whole
West should the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis hold their conventions on the Pacific
Coast" said Mr.. Wise, land l see no rea.
son whv they should not come here. The
advantages of having both conventions are
plain. The wants of our people would be-
come better known, the resources of the
State would be widely advertised, and we
could in this way accomplish many results
which individual methods can never work
out.
"You can quote me as strong as you like
on the proposition, not from political
standpoint, but from the standpoint of a
citizen who believes in the future great
ness of California and the other Pacific
Coast States when justice shall be done
them by the men who direct the flow of
national legislation"
Barry Baldwin said that every Califor-
niann, independent of politics. would be
glad to see the Republicans meet here in
1896. He thought that a trip across the
continent would open the eyes of the men
who attend national political conventions
to the vastness and greatness of the West.
William d. English expressed himself as
heartily in favor of the idea and would
gladly cooperate with the citizens of San
Francisco in making the visit of the dele
gates pleasant one.

ERRONEOUS OPINIONS.

H. s. Foote and George w. Monteith
were talking in the corridor of the Federal
building when questioned upon the hold
ing of the convention here. Both were
enthusiastically in favor of it,
at is very good idea" remarked Judge
Foote, land have no doubt but that THE
CALL, with its new burst of enterprise, can
be of great service in pushing it through.
The convention would be of much benefit
to California
Mr.. Monteith said: "There are a great
many Eastern men who have no concep-
ton OF California They don't understand
why we are so pronounced in our opposi-
ton to Chinese immigration and railroad
monopoly Therefore, believe that from
a patriotic standpoint all citizens should
unite in bringing not only the Republican
convention, but all other conventions of
similar character to California. When the
delegates come here the people and not
the railroad should entertain them"

We have territory as large as the whole
of France, and capable disappearing from
15,0O0,00 to 100000 people. We have
been settled almost as long as some of the
great Western States, but are far behind
them in progress and development. 1t is
only by having our State and its splendid
advantages more generally known that we
can become great national factor.
"The means suggested will certainly aid
US in starting the wheels of progress, and
every citizen who is loyal to his home and
commonwealth should give this subject
thought and act upon it."

convention be held here next year, il

LIBRARY ASSOCIATION MEETS.
Building to be Enlarged-Request

A special business meeting of the
Library and Reading Room Asso-

rooms of the association. Messrs.
Rodgers, Allen and Waterhouse,
the committee appointed at a for
mer meeting to consider the ques-
ton of a proposed enlargement of
the building, reported in favor of
extending the present circulating
department to the line of the orig
inal lot, thus adding about two
thirds to the size of the room and
about one-half to the shelving ca
pacity. The recommendation Of
the committee was adopted, and
the architect, Mr.. Ripley, was in
structed TO prepare plans and speci-
fcations, on which bids could be
asked.
A request from the trustees of the
Bishop Museum that certain scien-
tific books now loaned to that insti-
tuition by the Library Association
be transferred permanently, was
presented by DR.. Hyde, and after
some discussion was denied, it be-
