OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
90S Broadway, Aug. 8. I
The County Central Republican Com
mittee met this afternoon and in accord
ance with the recommendation of the
State Central Committee they rescinded
their action of last week regarding the ap>
pointment OF four delegates at large to the
Con ngressional Convention. The delegates
will be voted for at every precinct in the
county, and each candidate will name his
own nominees.
One of the arguments made last week in
favor of the election of delegates at large
by the County Committee was that Solano
had done likewise. To-day the following
communication was received from Solano:
The executive committee of the Republican
County Central Committee of Solano County
at a meeting held at Vallejo, on August 3,
1896, by resolution, unanimously resolved to
rescind its action in appointing two delegates
at large from Solano County to the Republican
Congressional Convention of the Third Dis
trict, TO be held at Vallejo, August %, 1896.
and opened its lists for the reception of names
of any and all who desired to become candi-
dates for the position of delegates at large
from Solano County to said convention, said
delegates to be voted for at the primaries of
August Is, 1896, as well as other delegates.
You will observe that this action was taken
by our committee before the State Central
COmm1ttee recommended the same.
The designations of the two delegates who
were so appointed by the committee were also
handed to this committee and were accepted.
Yours, truly,
A discussion took place regarding the
manner in which the names of the dele
gates -at-Iarge should be placed on the
ticket. The matter was Strengthened out by
the passage of the following resolution:
publican candidates for Congress in whose IN.
terests delegates are to be voted for at the pri-
mary election to be held In Alameda County
on August Is, 1896, in accordance with the
call of this committee, make their nomina-
tions for delegates at large to be voted for at
such primaries and hand such nominations to
the secretary of this committee on or before
Wednesday, the 18th day or August, 1895;
and be it further
Resotued, That the County Committeeman
from each ward in the city of Oakland and
from each township or district outside of the
city of Oakland be and he is here by instructed
to cause the names SO nominated as aforesaid
for delegates al large to be placed upon the re-
spectiye ballots of each of such candidates to
be used in every polling place established for
such primary election and that no other names
for delegates at large be placed upon any of
said ballots.
The committee then presented their lists
of officers and polling-places, and they
were adopted. The arrangements for the
primaries have been made to suit both
parties to the Congressional fight. The
new great register will be ready for the
primaries, which will be held next Satur-
day, and there is every prospect OF clean
primary.
Mr.. Hilburn and Judge Frick are both
satisfied with the arrangements, and the
friends of both sides are confident of
securing majority of all the delegates
that will meet at the Vallejo convention
on the 10th.
