The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-10-25

privileges are ample and its people most
| hospitable.''
L. ]. Wight, secretary of the County
central Republican Committee says: Il
am heartily in favor of it being held in San
Francisco. Committeeman ought to invite
Cleveland, as fishing is good in this vicin-
ity 1t will advertise the Pacific Coast and
demonstrate to the people of the East that
we have some people out here. The trip
Will benefit the delegates
Henry Lawshe, who is aggressive and
well known in politics and business, says:
Il am most heartily in favor of San
FRANCISCO, and as regards distance that is
poor excuse, as tits no further to San
Francisco than from San Francisco to the
East, and we have been going to conven-
TONS East for twenty-five years, and the
| Fasteners have no conception of the i'm
portance of this coast. President Cleve-
land has no idea there is any country west
OF Chicago, and has practically turned his
| back on u.s."
| W. T. McPerrin, well-known Republi-
can attorney and politician, says:
1T would be stimulant for the coast to
have Republican National Convention
held at San Francisco. 1 am heartily in
favor it. When they meet want to see
them nominate Bob Lincoln, who says
nothing, but saws wood"
Judge T. L. Stiles, who is we'll known
for his clear ideas, does not seem to fall in
line. He says:
Il do not think,the National Committee
will determine on San Fran cisco, and
think it will be some time before National
conventions are held west of the Missis-
sippi Valley. San Francisco is fine con-
ventlon city, but [ fear she has not pull
enough. You know one great thing dele
gates kick on is mileage, and when the
West does get a convention Denver will
get it."
G. w. Delamater, who was nominated
on the Republican ticket few years ago
for Governor OF Pennsylvania, and who has
large law practice here, SAYS:
Il am entirely out of politics, but a thor
ough Republican, and knowing somethin ing
of politics in reference to National conven-
tons, think the holding of convention
at San Francisco would be to the ad-
vantage OF the Republican ticket, and I
think all Republicans in the Northwest
should favor such location. It is difficult
for the men of all parties living in the East
to become well informed as to the great
ness of this coast"
Colonel W. j. Fife, the well-known
tragedian and politician, says: "There
are several reasons why the next Republi-
can convention should be held on the Pa
cihc Coast and in San Francisco. The
Pacific Coast is factor in the Re-
publican party, ana there are hun
dreds of thousands of people in the party
who are not posted as to the wants of this
coast. By holding the convention in San
Francisco they can come one route and
return north, seeing California. Oregon,
Washington, Idaho anj Montana. AS to
its being off one side is no excuse, for
cheap railroad rates can be had, and hotel
accommodations in San Francisco are
ample for gatherings. There are six
transcontinental roads running to the
coast, and delegates would have q great
opportunity of seeing and learning most
that is new and interesting by coming
over one and returning over the other"
w. D. Tillotson, ACKNOWLEDGEMENT to
Japan under President Harrison, says:
"The Western railways will undoubt-
eddy help San Francisco out, and I would
like to see the convention held there. 1t
would help this State, and in recognition
| of the growing Importance of this coast
San Francisco should get it. Her hotels
are ample to accommodate the crowds.
President Cleveland has no knowledge of
the coast and has treated it shamefully."
DR.. J. W. Cloes, Republican, says:
"By all means help San Francisco to get
| the convention. 1t will help Tacoma"
D. s. Johnson, the prominent piano
| dealer, says:
II am for San Francisco first, last and
ali the time"
P. D. Norton, William Fink, George
Stone and John T. Redman, all prominent
Republican politicians, were a quartet
solid for San Francisco, and all thought
steps ought to be taken at once to help
