The Seattle Post-Intelligencer will heartily CO.
operate in the movement to induce the Repub-
lican National Committee to select San Fran
cisco as the place for the Republican Conven-
ton: journey across this great continent to
the Pacific Coast by delegates would afford
splendid object lesson and tend to the adUp-
ton of platform WIDE enough and broad
enough for q nation to stand upon.

T. G. Daniels submitted the following
report of his committee:
Your committee. appointed to confer with
the Union League Club committee. which was
organized to take action to secure the Republi-
can National Convention of 1896, to be held in
San Francisco. beg leave to report: Your COM
mittes were made members of the Union League
committee and have participated in their
meetings.
The Union League Club opened bureau of
correspondence and addressed letters to all the
mem berx of the Natione. Repu blican Commit
tee, soliciting an expression of sentiment re-
"
Most of these responded, and of those who did
respond nineteen were construed as distinctly
favorable to the City.
Your committee informed the Union League
committee OF the action taken by the executive
committee February 5, 1898, in recommending
all papers of the. association to use their col
umns to the best advantage possible to further
the sentiment in favor of San Francisco as q
meeting-place. which, by the'way was the first
body to take this mattersup and advocate or
ganiZation. E
Your committee also Informed the Union
League Club as to the very amicable relations
existing between TIE California Press Associa-
ton and similar bodies in all the Eastern
States, growing out of the very successful
National convcn ton of press associations held
in California in 1892, and that, because of that
good feeling expressed, in their opinion the
California Press Association could be no incon-
siderable factor in creating throughout the
East by direct appeal and the dissemination
OF hteraturs, sentiment In favor of San Fran
cisco as the meeting point. The Union League
committee acknowledged the force of this sug-
gestion and expressed the hope that this asso-
citation, at the regular meeting of October 20
take such action as to them should seem IN
accomplish the object aimed at
your committee, therefore, while not going
into mlnutegt details, recommend to this asso
citation thet 1t cause to be prepared A. circular
letter, to be distributed widely throughout the
united states, containing such argument
showing and appeal in favor of San Frsncisro
as place OF meeting for the National Rep,lb-
ncan Committee in 1896 as NAV be found sd
vlsapie and desirable. We feel that letter of
dunn TO create public sentiment In favor of
san Francisco, and trust it will be undertaken
with due regard to the Importance OF the mat
tef concerned. 7. G. DANIELS,
