Brief Ertracts From the California State
PdDers.

BrteT Ertracfs From the California State
Papers.
IL may be that the meeting OF the Republican
National Convention in San Francisco would
not be productive of the business benefits to
the State which have been so confidently pre-
alcted. 1t may be that not even the political
advantages which are anticipated will be real
lzed. Possibly it Will not give California a
member OF the Cabinet under the next Presi-
dent or make it easier to obtain appropriations
for rivers or harbors or for postoffces. But
there is one thing which 1t certainly will do,
and that is to crafty California pride.
1t will make all natives and old residents of
the state teel good to see one of the political
parties coming here to hold its quadrennial
assemblaee. 1t will cause them TO feel that
the Importance of the State as one Of the
Unlon's great commonwealths and of San
francisco as one of its great cities has been
ntly recognized. The amount of this sort of
satisfaction to be obtained from the meeting OF
the convention will be large, and perhaps it is
es well worth paying for as any other kind.
That San Francisco will pay for it literally we
co not doubt 1t has already pledged $4,000
ana the amount will be raised to S150, 600
without much difficulty.
1t will confirm California loyalty. 1t may be
said that this is all right as 1t is, but there are
occasions when 1t does not manifest itself as 1t
should. California is somewhat provincial.
We are occupied with our local interests and
do not immerse ourselves in the general cur
rent OF National affairs to quite the extent we
might The tendency of such recognition OF
California as is now proposed will be to wear
this away, to the mutual benefit OF the country
at large and of ourselves. 1t will make US feel
more like an integral part of the Nation and
make the Nation aware OF this change on our
part. In short, if the location of the conven.
ton should be dictated solely with view to
the greatest benefit to all the highest interests
OF the country we have no doubt ttwould come
to San Francisco.-Oakland Enquirer.
San Francisco has subscribed about $40, 900
for the National Convention fund.- and it is
prepared to subscribe still more. AS every part
OF California would be benefited by the hold
ing of the convention in this State, 1t would
not be amiss for all the cities and larger towns
to encourage the movement by donating in
like proportion. In this city o. A. Hale, with
his usual enterprise, offers to subscribe 500
toward the fund, and doubtless others viii
follow his example. Owing to its proximity to
San Francisco and its prestige as the center OF
the leading fruit-growing section OF California,
San Jose would be visited by hundreds of dele
gates and their friends were the convention to
be held in the former City-San Jose Mercury.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Nov. 2.-Los
Angeles is have a rousing mass-meeting
Monday evening to express its good will
toward San Francisco and wish the latter
City godspeed in its enterprise. The pa
pers here have taken the matter up and
the greatest enthusiasm prevails. The
Record said this evening:
The call which has been issued to
whoop up the San Francisco convention
has met with unmistakable public favor.
The spectacle of Los Angeles and San
Francisco working hand in hand is an en-
gaging one and is well calculated to undo
the impression all too prevalent in the East
that there is no harmony in this State.
Truly there has been such and truly just
such issues as that in which San Francisco
and Los Angeles are joining forces will go
for to restore and maintain that genuine
neighborliness that is needed. The mass
meeting next Monday ought to be a
''rouser"
The Express, in an editorial, headed,
LOS Angeles Must Help San Francisco"
comes out in cry strongly, as follows:
The mass-Teeting which IS called for Mon
day evening at the Chamber of Commerce,
for the purpose of pledgiDg the aid of this
city to San Francisco in securing the Re-
publican National Convention, should be
attended by every citizen who can possibly
be present. This is not local affair; it is
something in which all the Pacific Coast is
interested. 1t is not a question of parti-
sanship nor of sectionalism; it is ques-
ton of carrying out scheme that will be
invaluable to the entire country. So far
as the local benefit is concerned, Los An
geles will be as much benefited as San
Francisco, far the thousands who go there
will by big majority come here. 1t is an
advertisement that would be a cheap if
this town had to put half the $1O0,0
needed.
Every visitor will carry back a good re-
port of this section if we do our part and
the result will be great influx of popula-
ton and capital. This is one of these
propositions on which united we stand
Los Angeles and San Francisco. No
Tehachapi separates US when it is ques-
tion OF this character. Let every one turn
out Monday evening.

the breaking of the dawn comes the real
ization to the people of the entire State Of

of the National Republican Convention oi

Charles III. Shortridge's Effective Worls II,
San Francisco's Behalf.

Charles NJ. Shortridge's Effective Work in
San Francisco's Behalf.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 2.-Of the
various cities at first considered in which
to hold the Republican Presidential Con-
vention of 1896 Detroit and ST. Louis have
completely dropped out of sight, and the
choice has now narrowed down to four
San Francisco, Chicago, Pittsburg and
New York.
OF these, as the situation now stands.
San Francisco is distinctly the most IA
vored, and could the executive committee
of the convention meet next week instead
of on December 10 the City of the Golden
Gate would undoubtedly be selected.
Right now San Francisco has more friends
than any other point. Her full capabiiity
to properly care for any convention gath
ering, her wonderfully cool summer cli-
mate, her world-famed hospitality, as well
as the hundred attractions that the Golden
Gate offers, are inducements that no other
city jointly offers, and which the conven-
tion delegates are only too anxious to en-
Joy. Last but not least is California's S
muni6cent monetary offer. Her proverbial
generosity touches responsive chord in
the East.
Charles M. Shortridge of San Francisco,
who left week ago for the coast, started
anew the boom for San Francisco. His
push and eloquence enlisted the support
of many waverers, who are now advocat-
ing San Francisco's claim as ably as Mr..
Shortridge. But San Francisco must not
forget that Chicago and Pittsburg are also
trying to get the convention, and are also
raising subscription for this purpose.
Chicago week ago announced that it had
$4,000 ready; but as Thomas G. Platt of
New York has grievance against Chicago
and is in with Mr.. Quay backing Pitts
burg's Claims and as the opposition to both
these two influential Republicans means
much, San Francisco need not worry so
much over Chicago. Pittsburg, while a
point most suitable for the convenience of
Eastern delegates, has nothing to offer
compared to San Francisco. Her nearness
to the East is all that recommends her.
New York has made no important move
for the convention that is noticeable, put
the near present State and county elections
account for that. As things now look San
francisco can get the convention awarded
to 1t on December 10 if she offers money
enough. 1t must be remembered that the
last Republican Convention is still $S4. -
600 in debt, $4,000 of which is said to be
due on note given to Cornelius n. Bliss
foT advances. That debt must be squared
