FIGURING ON DELEGATES
Republican Leaders Are Preparing for

Governor SheIdon's Friends Are Urging
Him Strongly for Delegate. at-Large.
reeting Held in His Interest

Already tho local Republican leaders
are beginning to cast about and ascertain
what the situation is with regard to the
matter of the election Of delega to the
national convention. 1t is conceded that
one OF the four delegates at-large which
California is entitled to W II come from
Southern California. In addition to that.
there are four district delegates 70 be
named from the Sixth and Seventh con-
gTessonal districts. Three of these del
egates will come from the country lying
this side OF the Tehacnepi mountains.
The Republican leaders always like to
program things in advance, and more
par ticulnrly are they always anxious to
program delegation to a national COLI
vention. So they early commence 10 cast
about for lines upon which to pull
things into shape.
Governor Lionel A. Sheldon is being
strongly urged to allow the use of his
name as a an1ldate for delegate at large.
The governor has consented, but will
make no individual effort in this uirec-
ton. He will gladly go if he is chosen.
His friends have already commenced
strong canvass for him. urging that his
person al acqua intance with national leau-
ers and mis- experience in former conven-
tions would make him an influential
mem Der of the California delegation
when the national convention Of the
party congenes in Frisco.
The other evening a number of Gov
error Sheldon's local supporters met IN
tins city in the Office OF we'll known
lawyer, with five prominent Republicans
from San Diego, two from Santa Ana,
one from Riverside, one from Pomona,
three from Pasadena and two from Red
lands, for a consultation. A little COM
bnation was formed to push Governor
Sheldon's candidacy and to see to it that
no unfair methods were adopted by
those who might oppose him to encom-
pass his defeat.

1T IS A VINDICATION

The Express. with more good judgment
than is usual in Republican organ. con-
slders that the election vindicates Presi
dent Cleveland. 1t certainly looks that
way, for as a result of the resentment OF
loyal Democrats four senators, Hill of
New York, Smith of New Jersey, Brice
OF Ohio and German of Maryland, who
successfully thwarted President Cleve
lands efforts to securs full redemption
Of Democratic tariff pledges, have bitten
the dust OF political defeat. and another
senator, Blackburn OF kentucky. who has
fought the presidents essentially Demo-
cratic attitude on the financial issue, in
behali OF the cause Of the silver kings
cause as unholy as that Of the tariff
barons, has received notice to quit. In
Nebraska 1t is also significant to observe
that the supporters OF the president
policy of maintaining the countrys
financial credit and stability exceeded by
100 per cent those Democrats dissenting.
In whatever respects the late election
Wind icated the president it vindicated
the democrat principles which he has
so ably, oourageously and consistently
stood for.
