He said:
The convention would be q good thing for
San Francisco and also for California Ofcourse
we would not receive much direct benefit as it
would be only matter Of three or four days
while the crowd would be with US. However,
the results would CONS later. These represen-
tativc Republicans from every State in the
Union would see US as we are and no doubt be
impressed with our importance in the political
economy of America, and then go back home
and feel delight in standing for the far away
Pacific Coast that has been too long neglected.
They would see the Postoficc site without q
building and see, too, what we are trying to get
along with in the old place on Washington and
Battery streets. And then they would help US
out in Congress to get full appropriations Tor
constructing the new Postoffice, which would
be built without these delays. The East would
lsarn to know us, and after visit know those
men would carry home the kindlest feelings
toward us in California and even fight for US In
Washington.
The people east of the Mississippi have no
idea Of our greatness, and they need trip out
here to learn something about their own eoun-
try. We ought to have the Republican National
Convention in San Francisco.
c. P. Huntington is q little dubious re-
garding the coming of the convention to
San Francisco. He says:

TACOMA, WASH, Oct. 24.--The idea
and prospects of holding Republican Ma
tional Convention in San Francisco has
struck prominent Republican politicians
of this city as entirely feasible, and every
effort will be made by them to help San

State Senator Ed w. Taylor, most
energetic and aggressive Republican, says

ton being held in San Francisco. 1t will
benefit the Republican party. not only on
the Pacific Coast, but all over the United
States. 1t will benefit the delegates who
come here and see for themselves what the
Pacific Coast is. They will see its capabil-

into consideration the hospitality of San

would not be charged mere than So day

The Pacific Coast Jockey Club contrib
uted $500 yesterday toward the fund for
the National Convention in San Francisco.
This generous offer from young club is
proof that the organization that has in
vested its capital in San Francisco Is fully
abreast of the times and already well up to
the front in everything associated with
San Francisco's welfare and enterprise.
The gentlemen whose spirit is infused into
the club recognized the advantage of hav-
Ing the National Convention in San Fran
cisco, and were quick to respond most
handsomely to the popular call for money
to meet all expenses of the great gathering.
No less greater mark of generosity and
public spirit was the gift of A. B. Spreckels,
who gave $500 yesterday to the convention
fund. With those and other liberal ex-
amples before the people. there is a firm
conviction that sum far larger than the
required amount will be subscribed in the
next few days.

CUT SHORT A JUHKET,
SECRETARY CARLISLE CALLED
DOWN THE SUPERVISING
ARCHITECT.
THIS MADE Mr.. AIKEN VERY
ANGRY AND His RESIGNATION
Is Soon EXPECTED.

WASHINGTON, D.. c., Oct M.-An ac-
count of the supervising architects iunket,
as planned by himself, was given exclu-
sively in The CALL dispatches several
weeks ago. He was to visit Colorado,
Utah, California, Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, Montana and Wyoming to inspect
Government buildings. There seemed to
be no reason for this junket, but he was
permitted to go by Secretary Carlisle. But
when THY CALL reached here several days
ago stating that Mr.. Aiken would include
Alaska in his itinerary this was too much,
and Secretary Carlisle wired Aiken to know
when he was coming home. Mr.. Aiken
resented this. The Post says:
According to the men of his own Office,
Supervising Architect Aiken is going to
resign just as soon as he gets back to
Washington. Aiken, it is said, resents
official interference with little months
inspection" trip through Alaska, upon
which his heart was set, and objects to
being ANONYMOUSLY called back.
Aiken was appointed to succeed Jere-
miah O'Rourke. He came into office lust
after the department had been reorgan-
lied and the powers of the supervising
architect curtailed. In his official position
he has charge Of the planning of public
buildings. His executive officers attend to
other work. Mr.. Aiken planned trip to
all Government buildings in the country.
No sooner was he gone than every trivial
detail OF the supervising architects Office
was taken for judgment right to Secretary
Carlisle. The chiefs of division did not,
they said, wish to assume responsibilities.
Secretary Carlisle is busy man, but he
stood it very patiently until the queries
averaged eighty-hve day and then he in
quired with some heat as to the where
abouts of the supervising architect. Some
newspaper cuttings reporting the archi-
tect's progress were shown him, and the
Secretary dictated terse telegram telling
MI Aiken to come back to Washington
and to do it quick.
The supervising architect replied that
he was just starting for Alaska, where he
Intended to inspect Government buildings
nd other things. Then there went forth
another telegram, the effect of which was
to cause Mr. Aiken to say he would be
back Monday. One of the chiefs of divi-
sion was asked yesterday if the resigna-
ton OF Mr.. Aiken had been asked for He
replied that he had not heard the report,
but had reason to believe Mr. Aiken would
hand in his resignation when be reached

the one paramount issue is before all the
people.
We must have the convention.
Partisan feeling has been set aside, and
there is not a Democrat in this City who is
not anxious to see the convention located
here.
Yesterday morning the Examiner, with
that generosity that has always marked
its public spirit, raised its subscription
from $1,000 TO $500.
AS it stands to-day, THE CALL, Exam
liner and Chronicle alone have subscribed
$500 as an incentive to the lesser jour-
nails, who will probably subscribe just as
heavily in proportion to their circulation.
The action of our morning contempora-
ries in showing such approval of TIRE
CANS suggestion is the best possible evil
dence that the proposition advanced by
this journal has received the support of
the masses.
The problems regarding transportation,
telegraph service, ability to accommodate
the crowd and other such matters have all
been reduced to minor Importance, and
every facility for handling the convention
from the day the delegates land here to
the day they depart is found to be readily
obtainable.

GOVERNOR BUDD APPROVES.
Sacramento mn Stand H-She Is Piedqed
BY Her Leading ciH-

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Oct. "a. - The
stand which THE CALL has taken toward
bringing the next Republican National
Convention to San Francisco meets with
widespread approval throughout this city,
and many business men say there woul
be no trouble in getting Sacramento to
contribute her quota toward defraying the
expenses. The opportunity to give solid
business men and capitalists from the
storm-swept East good draught of Cali
fornia climate is too strong to be resisted,
and when the time comes the coin will
come with it. On the other hand many of
the capitalists of this city are not particu-
larly enthused when the subject of SUBJ
scriptions from this locality for the pur-
pose is broached as they state that of late
so many large amounts have been col
lected for various purposes that they are led
to infer that considerable difficulty might
be encountered in collecting any amount
large enough to properly represent the
warm interest which the capital city feels
in anything that will rove of advantage
to the State large, and which will tend
to exemplify the Wanted hosp itality of
Golden California. Every one int rviewed
on the subject states that they will willing
ly contribute their individual mite in
furtherance of the movement and THE
CALL is receiving great encomiums on all
sides for the energy it has displayed in
forwarding an object which will be of such
unusual benefit to the entire State.
Governor Budd when interviewed on the
subject said:
III believe that the holding of the Ma
tional Republican Convention in San
Francisco will be of the greatest pos
sible advantage to the State at large. There
is not a member Of that convention but
who represents the brain and intellect of
the populous East; there is not member
but will fully inform himself of the
numerous advantages possessed by Cali
fornia as an inducement to immigration,
because each members constituents will
certainly require of him on his return his
opinion OF California as a place of resi-
dence. Coming as they do from wide
spread localities, those adva ntages will be
more truthfully portrayed and receive
wider dissemination than could be done by
any other method, and I certainly think
that THE CALL deserves great commenda-
ton for the enterprise it exhibits in for
warding the object.
II am fully in favor of the holding of The
convention in San Francisco and believe it
will be of the greatest benefit to the State"
Joseph Stetfins, president of the Califor-
MIA State Bank and the Sacramento Cham
Der of Commerce, said:
81 believe that if the people OF this city
once realize that the coming of the con-
yention to this coast will be of inestimable
value to the State at large and will also
benefit this city, there will be no diff

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-The Evening Sun

suit of the conference last night between
Senator Quay, Mr.. Platt, General James s..
Clarkson and Chairman Carter OF the Ma
tional Committee, the Republican National
Convention of 1896 will be called about
June 10. The convention city was not
agreed on, but Chicago or Pittsburg will be
selected at the meeting of the National
Committee to be held at the Arlington
Hotel in Washington, on December 10.
The rules of the Republican National
Committee require six months notice of
the time and place of holding the National
Convention. Senator Quay wanted the
convention held in May next, while Mr..
Platt wanted it held as late as July or Au-

Charles Fl. Van Wyck was born at
Poughkeepsie, N. Y, in 1924. Educated
at Rutgers College, New Jersey, he began
the study of law at home, and was
District Attorney of Sullivan County from
1850 to 1856. He served in the war OF the
rebellion, entering as colonel of the Tenth
Legion or Fifty-sixth New York Volun-
teers, and being pr omotedto the ran of
rigadier-general. He was elected to the
Thirty-sixth, Thirty-seventh Fortieth
and Forty-frs Congresses, the hiatus being
covered by his army service, and then
in 1874 moved to Nebraska. He took a
prominent part at once in the politics of
that State, being elected a delegate to the
Constitutional Convention in 1874; mem
Der of the state Senate for three
terms, ending in 1880, and in that
year was elected United States Senator
from Nebraska to succeed Algeman S.
Paddock. He served one term, and in
1887 was in turn succeeded by Mr..
Paddock. Since retiring from the
Senate Mr.. Van Wyck has divided
mis- time between Nebraska City and
Washington. He is a large owner of
property in this city, one of his houses,
which he occupied while Senator, being
now the residence of Chief Justice Fuller.
He gratified quaint whim some time ago
by locating with his family for an entire
summer in vacant church, which he
owned in the center of the fashionable
| residence part of the city.
