washington, Oct 24-San Francisco de-
e.res the privilege of entertaining the
next republican convention and arrange
meuts were made here to-day for the
sceommodation of the delegation that will
cross the continent to attend the meeting
of the national committee, which has
been called to meet in this city on Dec.
1o. The Californians telegraphed here for
quarters as soon as the announcement
reached the Pacific coast that Chairman
Tom Carter had issued the call.
4 Pacific coast congressman, who is al
ready here for the winter, and who is
at work in behalf of San Francisco, stated
to-day that the Californians are coming
10 Washington with the fixed determina-
ton of capturing the convention and
they will be prepared to meet every objec-
ton that can be urged by the advocates
OF other cities.
There is but one hitch in the San Fran
cisco project and that is the political and
social Jealousy which exists against Mike
DeYoung, the most prominent worker and
the best spender to advance the claims of
that city. The railroads and the hotels
are prepared to offer greater inducements
to take the convention to San Francisco
this time than they offered four years ago
so that it is quite probable they will land
a majority of the votes in the national
committee when the final roll is called
The Pacific coaster went on to say that
it was claimed four years ago that a
successful national convention could not
be held west of Chicago Yet all who at
tended the Minneapolis gathering, con-
fess that the accommodations there, eX-
cepting the meager telegraphic facilities
were better than at any previous republi-
Gun convention. Minneapolis was a long
step toward the Golden Gate, and this
time San Francisco proposes to carry off
the prize regardless of the cost. It was
the combination made by the California
delegates that carried the convention to
Minneapolis and that same influence Will
be appealed to give san FRANCISCO an
opportunity to show the east how a ma
The Inducements that will be held out,
he said will be so tempting that
At will be impossible for the committee to
resist and unless all the plans that have
been laid miscarry, the next republican
candidate for the presidency will be
named in San Francisco.
When asked who is the choice of the
pacific coast, the congressman hesitated
a moment and then replied that the senti-
ment is about equally divided between
Senator Teller and Senator Wilson, with
some good eastern man like Tom Reed as
Vice President. He was reminded that
Mr.. Reed said some time ago that he
desired first place on the ticket or none
at all. The congressman, while free
silverite, or was prior to the adjournment
Of the last congress, says Senator Teller
is considered the best and strongest type
of an American statesman in the west.
His speeches in the Senate have breathed
the purest kind of Americanism, and his
attitude on the money question Will bear
comparison with that of any
other man in the Republican party.
While he has always been an advocate of
more for silver than he was willing to con-
cede to gold. The congressman said that
the time has come for the republicans to
put their best man at the head of the
ticket without regard to his geographical
location, and for his part he would like

Teller and Reed compose the ticket, for
in that event the country would be assur-

and domestic, with either one of them in
the white house.
The congressman said he was simply eX-
pressing his individual opinion for he had
not discussed the subject from that stand
point previously and the thought came to
him in connection with the efforts being
made to have the convention held in san
Francisco. lie added that it would be dif-
ticult to pick out of the ranks of the re-
publcans two better types of American
statesmen than Messrs Teller and Reed.
