of the republican national committee to
select the time and place for the nation
al convention are being made, the ex
ecutive committee of 11 members meets I
Monday night, and the full

Chicago and St. Louis. While these are
the main contestants. New York state
will have a delegation seeking the con

place. San Francisco has been showing
much activity and influence of late to
secure the convention. The main points
urged against going to the Pacific coast
are that the telegraph service would not
be sufficient and the difference of three
hours' time would be detrimental to the
afternoon press of the East, during the
day sessions, and the morning press dur
ing the night sessions.
Pittsburg advantages are being urged
with equal vigor. Senator Quay has an

San Fkanci8Co, Dec. 6. A special
from Washington says :
Senator Matthew Stanley Quay, of
' Pennsvlvania, is first for Pittsburg as
the next republican national convention
town, and his second choice is San Fran
cisco. A prominent United States sen
ator is authority for the statement that
if Quay discovers Pittsburg cannot win
the convention his next choice will be
the Pacific coast metropolis-
Mayor Bader, of Los Angeles, and
Editor Osborne, of the Los Angeles Ex
press, accomplisned a deal of good today
in advancing the interests of San Fran
cisco. Those gentlemen interviewed
nearly every United States senator who
will have any iufluence in urging upon
the national republican committee the
city they think best equipped to handle
the convention of 1896. Many republi
can senators represent their states on
the. national republican committee.
Senator Carter, of Montana, is a nation
al committeeman, and Senator Hans
b rough, of North Dakota, is a member
of the committee, as are also Senator
Shoup, of Idaho, and other Western men
who rre anxious that, the next candi
date of the republican party shall be se
lected on the Pacific coast.
. In addition to the work accomplished
by the Los Angeles boomers. Attorney
Knight, of San Francisco, has also been
doing good work. All of these Califor
nia's are earnestly supported by Sena
tor Peking. Representative Bowers es
corted the delegation from Los Angeles
around the capitol today, as did the sen
ators and other members from the West
who are interested in having San Fran
cieco capture the prize.
It can be definitely said that San
Francisco on the first ballot will lead
every other city in the race for the con
vention and will lack only four or five
votes of enough to win.
If the committee which will arrive to
night cannot assure the members of the
national committee that San Francisco
will be able to handle the convention
successfully, and by this is meant if the
telegraph companies can not give assur
ance that all proceedings of the convent
tion can be easily sent East, it is pro
bably a fact that the four or five votes
necessary may not be assured for the
Pacific coast candidate. In this case
Chicago is more likely to be named than
any of the other competitors now in the
field. ' '

that Livingtone of Georgia, thinking
that congress should not be kept waiting
until Cleveland's return to be informed
of the contests of Lord Salisbury's reply
