The attraction of the evening will ga grand ball. & The members of Alta Parlor of the Na. tive Daughters have notified the nd marshal that they have secured ree e right to vote at the coming primary. A sweeping resolution was passed, denounc ing the County Committee, and requesting mittee Saturday and present the docu- ment. The meeting was called to order by At- torney’ John Heenan, president of the Thirty-first Assembly District, and he was made temporary chairman, with William Battersby secretary. A roll of delegates was then called, and it was found that all of the eighteen districts were represented, although representatives of one or two | sald they had not been officlally delegated by their respective clubs. They, however, had no doubt that thelr organizations were in full sympathy with the move- ment. Chairman Heenan sald that the tendency | of the times was toward centralization of | ower. There were indications of it right n San Francisco, and he hoped the Dem- | ocrats would guard against being mis- gulded b he_promoters of this new ele- ment. Every Democrat in San Francisco, he said, should strive for harmony an party by factional differences. |~ Timothy Treacy of the Forty-third at- | tacked the County Committee without loves. He said there would be no trou- fle clecting the Democratic nominees. in his district If the voters were given a fair | opportunity; if, on the other hand, the County Committee attempted to dictate, then the voters would become lukewarm and the ticket, in all probability, would be defeated. He warned the Democrats that it would not be wise for them to try [ e e e S S Y omnibuses in which to take part in the paradé. The parlor will have headquar- ters in the Native Sons' Hall. The members of St. Helena Parlor will have an attractive feature in line. They will bring “‘Uncle Jack” York and wife to .the metropolis to hdf them celebrate. It was Mr. York, now 81 years of age, who carried the American flag, hoisted three hours after the bear flag was flung to the breeze at Sonoma in 1846, to Sutters Fort by ‘way of Svisun, Cache Creek, Wood- land and down the Sacramento River. ox teams in 1845 and have made home in California ever since. 1. Tuchler_of California Parlor and Arthur H, Pledler of Livermore Parlor have been appointed aids to the grand marshal. Colonel Boxton, chief aid to the grand marshal, has been busy for several days assigning the numerous organizations to the places they are to occupy. It is the desire of the grand marshal and the chief aid to make each division of as near the same length as possible. The local parlors of the Native Sons will be ranged in nu- merical order, and if a local parior pre- ceded by a band will not be of sufficient length a delegation from some of the in- | terfor parlors will be added to make up the number required to fill up the division. Those young lady members of the order of Native Daughters of the Golden West who are to be the guests of Native Sons and are to ride in carriages will be placed at the head of the parlor that has in- vited them and the carriages will be two abreast. The work of placing the numerous floats j« making the chief aid's hair turn gray. There is sssurance of forty-two, and about twenty more are promised, A num- ber of these will be drawn by six and-some of them by eight horses. It is expected that the procession will extend the entire length of Market street and up Van Ness avenue as far north as Lombard street.
