others. The difference would be met by
the San Francisco committee. No other
city could claim any advantage over San
Erancisco in railroad rates. He contin
ued : .
"We will furnish a convention ball, as
every other city will, and will place it
absolutely under the control of the na
tional committee. (Applause;. We
will guarantee that you will not be in
sulted as you enter tbe hall ; that you
will not be confronted by officials wear
ing tbe badges of any candidates and
trying to swing the convention for their
candidate. We will give you fair treat
ment and colorless treatment. Every
delegate will be our honored guest."
In conclusion De Young said San
Francisco would promise whether she
gained tbe convention or not that she
would swing tbe Pacific coast for the re
puolican party.
Samuel Allerton and Mayor Swift tben
presented Chicago's claims. St. Louis
was urged by Mayor Walbridge, ex-Congressman

Washington, Dec. 10. Republican
politicians assembled at the Arlington
early this morning to pull convention
wires, and, incidentally, to promote the
interests of their several presidential
candidates. There is nearly as much
presidential talk as there was about
which city would win the prize.
The Pittsburg delegates were most
conspicuous, because of the large badges
diaplayed on their coats, the Chicago
and St. Louis men were particularly en
thusiastic in campaigning while the del
egates from the Pacific coast, who bad
the interest of San Francisco in charge,
were characterized . by their unfailing
optimism. Tbey bad authorized M. H.
' De Young to bold out almost any finan
cial inducements without reason, and he
announced that no question of money
would stand in the way of California's
success.
Shortly before 10 o'clock the politic
ians gathered in the flag-draped banquet
hall of the hotel, and were seated in a
eemi-circle with the members of the
national committee in tbe center. There
was a noticeable sprinkling of colored
men.
At 10 :30 Chairman Carter rapped the
meeting to order, and the roll of com
mitteemen was called. There was no
response for Alabama, California, Dela
ware, District of Columbia, Kentucky,
-Mississippi, Missouri, New York, North
Dakota and Wyoming, but it was said
there were committemen or proxies for
moat of these states in the city. Alaska
had a representative.
Chairman Carter, in impressive tones,
addressed the meeting in an unexpected
direction. He said he wae not accus
tomed to notice many "silly, unfounded
and malicious etories," put afloat with
the purpose of arousing prejudices and
exciting ill feeling, but a reflection bad
been made on the members of the na
tional committee, and they had been
placed before the country in an unenvi
able position. "Under such circum
stances," said Carter emphatically, "I
" desire to state, in behalf of tbe commit
tee, that at no time and under no cir
cumstances, directly or indirectly, has
any person or persons urged that the
good graces of this committee should be
influenced by any mercenary considera
tion whatever." There was a ripple of
applause at the. announcement. Carter
proceeded to state that geographical
considerations large influenced tbe feel
ings of the committee, and, aside from
this, the only purpose of the committee
waa to consult the purposes and require
ments of the great gathering and make a
choice based wholly on fitness.
M. H. De Young, editor of the San
Francisco Chronicie, tben announced
that it was .his duty to make a business
proposition to the committee. He did
not want to be mercenary, but he did
want to influence the committee. The
republican and democratic parties could
not do business but for the subscriptions
by their members. The people of San
. Francisco were so anx'ous to get the con
vention that they were subscribing big
sums. They knew the party was in deDt
an'l were willing to pay its debts. Tbey
wanted to make tbe members of the
- national committee their guests while
they were in the city. The railroads
had been induced to make a rate from
New Orleans or Chicago of $25 for the
round trip for delegates and $50 tot the
An Ex-Confederate's Offer.
Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 10. Ex-Gov
ernor T. J. Churchill, a famous general
in the Confederate army, telegraphed
Senator James H. Berry at Washington,';
as follows :
"In case of war with England, offer
my services to-the president."
Senator Berry replied :
"All right, Thomas."
General Churchill said regarding the
matter:
"I did this to show that the South
and all the old Confederates are loyal
to the Union, and are willing nnd ready
to defend the government from all for
eign foes. The crisis has come when we
must uphold the Monroe doctrine or
abandon it altogether. I, for one, am
in favor of enforcing it, and I fully be
lieve the whole American people are a
unit on this point."
General Churchill was governor of Ar
kansas from 1880 to 18S2.

Mrs. W. B. Meek, who resides at
Caroptonville, Cal., says her daughter
was for several years troubled at times
with severe cramps in the stomach, and
would be in such agony that it was nec
essary to call in u physician. Having
read about Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Reinedv she concluded to
try it. She found that it always gave
prompt relief. It was seldom necessary
to give the second dose. "It has not
only saved us lots of worry and time,:
she says, "but also doctor bills. It is
my opinion that every family should
have a bottle of this remedv in tbe
house." For sale by Blakeley & Hough
