for the Republican party than now," said
Judge Cooney, tand if we shall succeed in
cementing the honest sentiment of the
people in one compact form for good gov
eminent and true Repubhcanism we need
have no fear of results"

couraging strain regarding the outlook
from a Republican standpoint. He urged
that the body at once take all measures
possible to cooperate with all other or

1t was determined, as preliminary step
in organization work, that the delegates to
the executive council from each Senatorial
district in San Francisco and Alameda
counties should meet on next Friday even
ing for the purpose of at once taxing steps
toward the permanent organization of
political clubs, one at least for each As
sembly district, and that there might be
adopted a uniform plan and direct method
of organization, so that the free and honest
sentiment of the people may be expressed
on all subjects pertaining to the public
welfare.

colored voters of this City and State were
now well organized and that they would,
therefore, be much more able to do effective
work in the future than they had been in
the past.
A communication was read from Mrs. j.
Ellen Foster, president of the National
Woman's Republican Association, in
which she promised the assistance of that
body in securing favorable consideration
of the claims of San Francisco as the
point at which the coming National Re-
publican Convention should be held. Mrs.

it would broaden the minds of our states
men by travelling across the continent.
