FOR PRESIDENT— WILLIAM McKINLEY, of Ohio FOR VICF-PRESIDENT— GARRET A. HOBART, of New Jersey ELECTION NOVEMBER 3, 1896. The Pattison boom has evidently been put in cold storage. About the only thing Grover declines is a request to decline. Democracy knows not what to do, where to go nor whom to follow. Free trade is the bucket which Dem- ocracy is getting ready to kick this year. Now is the time to cultivate the Fourth of July enthusiasm and make ready for the great day. The ring in McKinley's speech of ac- ceptance was the kind that takes in the whole country Now that fishing seems to be the only pursuit open o him, Cleveland has lost his taste for it. After you have provided for your own registration see to it that all your Repub- lican friends do likew1ise. pan At T e Altgeld pardoned the anarchists, but would he pardon the Chicazo convention if it broke away from him? In the great circus of the dmpu!gn Democracy will be the worst demoralized trick mule ever seen in any ring. The Republican party is known as the party of prosperity and there is a good campaign argument in that fact alone. If there is anything can cool the tem- perature of Chicago next week it will be the frigidity that prevails between Bland and Boles. For a man who recently declared he was not a candidate tor the Presidency, Mr. Boles seems to be fighting very hard for a nomination. ‘Whitney has pointed out what he calis a safe path for a Democratic candidate to follow this year, but he is not willing to walk it himself. Mr. Huntington 1s now aware that Cali- fornia is camping on his trail and he can never carry out his funding scheme with- out a hard fight. It will be a benefit for Democracy to cut loose from Tammany ana Wall street, even if it does not gain a vote in the West to make up for it. Now that we have made a thorough ex- periment of free trade in wool, ask the ‘wool-grower what he thinks of it and how be is going to vote. Democracy cannot find a leader, but if she wishes a Comptroller after her own heart she has choice of Eckels and Bowler, and the pair would make a ticket. The business interests of the country are on the side of the Republican party and that is the reason why all men of business sense are going to vote for McKinley. People in the interior who wish to recreate themselves with ocean air and patriotic enthusiasm should come to the City and help us celebrate the Glorious Fourth. Harrity has appeared in public several times of late without the Pattison boom and it begins to look as if the Pennsylva- nia Democrats had decided to draw out of the game and play solitaire. Senator Palmer has discovered an old Illinois farmer Democrat who says he is going to ‘‘winter his vote” this year, but he would do better to put it in the sun- shine by casting it for McKinley. The assurance of a speedy and perma- nent return to the protective system has put evervbody in a good humor and the campaign will be a good deal like a Na- tional festival when the bands begin to vlay. ‘When we kave revived our industries so that capital can find profits and labor can obtain wages, it will be easy to promote the re-establishment of bimetallism, and the Republican party can be counted on to do it. One of the significant features of the campaign is the rapidity with which the ripple caused by the free silver bolt at St. Louis is subsiding. In a little while people who talk about Teller, Dubois and Cannon may have to explain who they are and what they have been doing. Senator Thurston uttered the general sentiment of all loyal hearts when he said to McKinley: ‘Your nomiination means an indorsement of your heroic youth, your fruitful years of arduous public ser- vice, your sterling patriotism, vour stal- wart Americanism, your Christian char- acter and the purity of your private life, in all these things you are the typical American, for all these things you are the chosen leader of the people.” OFFENSIVE PARTISANSHIP. It is difficnlt for an intelligenit Ameri- can to believe that Cleveland has any serious idea of seeking a renomination from the Chicago convention. Every sign of the times and every aspect of the sitna- ation combine to show that such an idea would be so foolish and futile that even the most besotted office-seeker could hardly entertain it so long as he retained a fair degree of political common-sense. In spite of all this, however, there are not lacking evidences that Cleveland does really cherish some idea of this kind and is not in any way backward about working to carry it out. ‘The strongest evidence of this Cleveland lunacy is to be found in the activity dis- played by Federal office-holders in their efforts to obtain power in the Chicago convention. Having been beaten in nearly all the Democratic State conven- tions, the administration forces have not lost hope. They see in the prevailing confusion in the party a chance to split thie National Convention and obtain for | Cleveland a renomination from tae gold- bug faction. A great crowd of Federal officials will be on hand at Chicago when the convention opens, and quite a number are already there. They are fizhting nomi- nally for the gold standard, but it is not difficult to see whom they wish to nomi- nate on that platform. It will be remembered that Cleveland when posing as a civil service reformer issued an order forbidding Federal officials to display what he called “offensive parti- sanship.” rerhaps he does not consider the partisan activity of his officials to be offensive. The work done by Daggett in this State and by men in similar positions in other States is, however, to the popular mind and to the common-sense view about as offensive partisanship as political bosses who are also office-holders can be guilty of. Cleveland, however, approves it all. Official after official leaves his duties at Washington and hastens to the place where he can do most to help in making something like a Cleveland victory at Chicago, and the great hypocrite of civil service reform sees it all and secretly en- courages it. He has told his followers that ‘‘a cause worth fighting for is worth Tighting for to the end,”’ and in this con- test he is setting the example of using all the power of official patronage to obtain a renomination for himself or make it worthless for any one else. WITHOUT A FRIEND. The people are unconsciously adminis- tering a telling rebuke to the Democratic party. Ever since the first struggle for the Presidency, dull times, or rather a slacking off of business activity, has been the rule in Presidential years. When the struggle was between the Whig and Demo- cratic parties people neglected business to participate in the campaign, but, aside from that, there was nothing to prevent the usual flow of transactions. When the Democratic party got in line after the war to renew its fight for supremacy, business of all kinds grew inactive and hesitating about one-half of the year in which the National election occurred, but it was be- cause of a suspicion that by some strange change the Democracy might win. Dur- ing the campaign of 1876 business was at a standstil because of the fear that the couniry might fall under Democratic rule, and in every subsequent campaign mana- gers of business enterprises gathered their affairs well in hand. In fact, for twenty years the business world has dreaded the Presidential year because of the necessity of the withdrawal of every iron from the fire, s0 to speak. But this Presidential year—especially since the St. Lous conventien—the dispo- sition has been to plunge into new enter- prises and enlarge old ones. Every line of business feels that it can expand and be safe, and capital is looking about for em- ployment. In fact the world of trade and traffic seems to have forgotten that this is a Presidential year. There are two reasons for this. Commerce feels that Democratic methods and policies have run their course, and thsy are no more to be feared. The St. Louis convention pledged the Republican party to apply certain economic prineiples in the conduct of the affairs of the Government which will give commerce and all lines of industry ex- actly the encouragement and protection they need. And so the businessdinterests of the country are paying no more atten- tion to what the Democracy may or may not do than if it were not on earth. In fact, no line of trade is interested enough in the Democracy to inquire when the funeral will take place. They know it is powerless to injure them again, and that is enough. REPUBLICAN CLUBS. The call has been issued for a National Convention of Republican clubs to be held at Milwaukee, beginning August 25, and all the clubs of the party in California should make preparations to be repre- sented at it by strong and earnest delega- tions. The convention is to be composed of two delegates at large from each State, two from each Congressional district in which there are one or more Republi- can clubg, and the president and secretary of each State League. A. W. Kinney of Los Angeles, president of the California State League, has re- cently issued an address urging Republi- can clubs throughout the State to organ- ize district leagues according to the Na- tional plan. In the course of his aadress he lays especial emphasis upon the need of such action by the ctubs of the Fourth and Fifth Congressional districts. Such urging ought not to be necessary at this stage of the campaign. All Republican clubs of S8an Francisco should co-overate heartily with the National League and help to give California a strong Trepresen- tation at the Milwaukee convention. We must put our State in the list ~f those that stand for patriotism, protection and pros- perity, and the way to do it is to organize and work together from the start. HILL'S OOLLAPSE. In the hurly burly of the forefront of the Democratic battle, where the contest between the gold faction and the silver faction rages fiercest, one form is missed, one leader is lost, one mighty champion strikes no blow, and friend and foe alike wait in vain to see the comine of his way- ing plume orto bearthe sound of a jarring blast upon his bugle horn. No part of all the strange medley of Democratic polities this year is stranger ihan the almost complete elimination of David Bennett Hill from the coun- sels and the strifes of his party. His collapte has been even more complete than that of Cleveland. Four years ago he, with his Tammany braves, went down in the convention fiercely fighting, but this year he can haraly be said to be in the ring. He will be at Chicago, of course, but he will hardly be sccounted a leader on either side. He will stand with the Democracy of New York, but he will stand in the shadow of Whitney, discredited and no longer capable of rousing enthusiasm by declaring, “I am a Democrat!” Hill’s thoughts of the sitnation and of his position in it can hardly be pleasant. But for a lack of ¢ourage on his own part he might to-day have been the idol of his purty and bhad the Presidential nomina- tion by an almost unanimous voice of New York and the West and the SBouth. A few years ago he made a speech at Elmira, taking advanced ground for the free coinage of silver. Had he stood by that speech and defied the powers of Wall street and Tammany he would assuredly have been defeated for the Senate, but he would have been in reasonable distance of the Presidency now. He is another warning to those politicians who sacrifice conviction to ex- pediency. He stands in marked contrast to McKinley, who was true to the great principle of protection even in its hour of defeat, and the people wko delight in true manhood will turn from the discomfited volitician to give their bighest honors to the steadfast statesman who is true. at once to himself, his country and the ever- lasting right. BOIES AND WHITNEY. In bis reply to Mr. Whitney Mr. Boies falis very far short of what should be ex- pected of a man who aspires to the Presi- dency. But Mr. Boies labors under the disadvantage of not knowing much about the Democracy. Until a few years ago he was an uncompromising Republican, and since he went over to the opposition his time has been occupied for the most part in seeking office. Then, again, he does not seem to be able to grasp the money question. To be sure, he is trying to get the Chicago nomination on the money issue, but he does not appear to know how great the difference is between silver monometallism and bimetallism, and in drifting from one to the other he does not touch a point in Mr. Whitney's letter. Mr. Whitney is a representative bimetal- lic Democrat. He favors a monetary sys- tem based upon gold and silver dollars. In that he is a good Republican. For that matter, the money plank of Demo- cratic platforms for nearly forty years has been taken from the Republican party’s declarations, and all sensible Democrats still adhere to it. When Mr. Boies tells Mr. Whitney that the Democratic party wants such legislation as will establish silver monometallism he only amucses sen- sible men of all parties, The Whitney wing of the Democratic party is standing upon the St. Louis platform as to the money question, and, no doubt, all that following will vote for McKinley. Mr. McKinley stands for sound and perma- nent redemption money which shall in- clude gold and silver upon the basis of parity. There is no difference of opinion among business men anywhere on that question. The burden of Mr. Whitney’s letter was for a bimetallic currency, but Mr. Boies talks about something quite different, hence he does not answer the New York gentleiaan at all. In this, however, there is great harmony between Boies and Whit- ney. Neither one of t:em can be induced torefer to the tariff question. They are in accord on the proposition that no wing of the party could afford to permit that to be an issue. But Mr. Boies cannot divert public attention wholly from the tariff to the money queslion, and he certainly can- not interest the people in his scheme to make silver the standard dollar and gola a thing to be ignored. However, Boies changes his mind so often on the money question that it is just possible that he may project an entirely new proposition before the convention meets. Mr. Boies isa nice old gentleman, and will do for a “big man” at his home in Waterloo, bat out in the big world of politics he is lost, and when Tammany reaches Chicago he wiil be amazed to know what a very small hole he can crawl inte A CAMPAIGN OF EDUOCATION. Chairman Hanna of the National Com- mittee favors an educational campaign upon the broadest lines possible. There are others, however, who cling to the old “still-hunt’’ fashion, but the people do not wantit that way. An educational cam- paign would be a very wise thing. There has been so much said and written about the failure of the Wilson-Gorman tariff act to provide sufficient revenue to maintain the Government, and 2iso that it has caused the suspension of so many of our indus- tries, it would be well to give the facts and figures in detail. In ageneral way the people know thatthe administration of Cleveland is an utter failure, but they ao not know where all the weak spots are located. They should have full informa- tion concerning the result of the tariff act of 1890 and the act now in operation, not only for their benefit in this campaign, but for all time to come. There never was a better opportunity to educate the people in political economy. They are deeply interested and they want to know more of why protection is helpful and free trade is injurious to their interests, As the tariff question is the leading issue, and as the country’s prosperity is dependent upon the enactment of laws that shall protect from laborer to the most extensive industrial plant, it is proper and right that the Republican party should supply the people all needed information concerning the importance of protection to them. “THE WEEKLY OALL. Every newspaper has a duty to perform in addition to its mission as a medium of news. No land can prosper which does not progress, and in order that the way to prosperity may be paved it is necessary that the resources of the country be devel- oped. To this end THE WEEKLY CALL de- votes considerable space to the gathering of data tending to broaden and develop agriculture, horticulture and all kindred interests. The result of the experiments being carried on in the severai States at the agricultural stations are shorn of tech- nical and tiresome detail and placed be- fore our readers in a practical manner. Developments in gold-mining are also re- ported, and in fact improvements and re- sources of every kind are searched out and describad. The news department is not neglected, telegraphic reports from the world around being printed in every issue. There are also departments devoted to the markets, the fraternal orders, music, politics and questions of the hour.

Stanton, who, until June 1, was one of the proprietors of the Baldwin Hotel, came to town yesterday from Kern County, where he is part owner of several promising mines that have very recently attracted cousidsrable notice. = But that is not why Mr. Stanton smiles. He has struck & great flow of artesian water on the Mojave esert. It was all the more pleas- ing to him because he was not expeciing any- thing of the kind. Now he wonders if his con- nection with the hotel resulted in his becoming the unconscious possessor of the charm that in other days gave the great breach-of-promise man his title of Lucky Baldwin. *The well,” sajd Mr. Stanton, as he stool before the Baldwin bar and sipped leisurely at the people are for money the equal of that to be inmrd anywhere, we shall find a friendly and liveral ally in Great Britain (o nelp in the development and prosperity of this country.

I'm tired of hearing that country called a desert. It's justlike the San Joaquin, and the climate 1s a darnea sight better. 5 “Where we struck the flow, the land is covered with little knolls on a country gradually rising toward the mountains. All about those mounds there was & little surface seepage, and I thought that by digging reser- voirs at intervals along the- slope the water might be caught so that it could be pumped when needed from the different reservoirs. The first hole, however, was the last. The idea 'Was to cut them six feet square and twenty feet deep. Well, when the men got down about eighteen or nineteen leet, the bottom burst right up, and the water poured in so fast that they had togetoutina hurry. In less than forty minutes the reservoir was overflowing. “There is plenty of water for 100 stamps if necessary. Tne flow is six inches. The well ison C. A. Koehn’s homestead, but I'have che privilege of using the water, and it is the only flowing water in the whole region. “We are using the water now for our mill, only 250 feet distant. There are mines all about there. The Red Rock is four miles to the west; that's where they found that big nugget a little while ago. Eleven miles to the east is the old Golder district,and thirteen’ miles to the southwest is the Randsburg dis- trict. The output of all these mines is limited to-day to the very richest ores, which alone can be profitably handled, the rate for trans- portation is 80 high. “We are putting in oil tanks, and will use petroleum for fuel, o, with that innovation and the artesian water, conditions are some- what improved. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. OUR POLITICAL PROBLEMS. SoLUTIONS PROPOSED BY LECKY AND THE RE- PUBLICAN PARTY. To the Editor of the San Francisco Call—SIR: Mr. John McNaught is fairly entitled to the thanks of all thoughtful readers of THE CALL, numbered as I believe by tens of thousaunds, for his contribution In Sunday’s issue on Lecky’s “Democracy and Liderty,” a history of our own time. Mr. Lecky has no living superior in historical work except John Clarke Ridpath. Both are masters, but Ridpath moves with his age and interprets it with his face to the future, while Lecky—with equal ability and attainments, with as good a con- science and es fair a mind, noting and placing all recordable facts which engage alike the alert attention of Ridpath—interprets the age out of sympathy with it and regrets the trend and spirit of it. Mr. McNaught gives us & a brief but search- ing and full-grasping judicial review of this important book, and while many were at church this morning seeking inspiration fora better and higher life, as was my own assidu- ous custom until recent years,lsat reading the review of this th‘nel{ book and meditating on the problems whick it states with so much ability, and for which, as the reviewer tells us, he finds a partial solution at least *‘in a limited form of the referendum,” even for England. “He would allow an appeal to soclety at large 1n Order o fave soclety {rom the represeniatives of its lower élements,” according to our reviewer, who regards such a safeguard as “strange,” since Mr. Lecky favors the damiltonian theory of “‘a strong govern- ment” of a monarchical type, and not the gov- ernment of pure democracy, as held by Jeffer- son, and s0_ably and zealously defended by Ridpath. Indeed, Mr. Lecky pronounces Hamilton ‘“the greatest political thinker America has produced,” and claims that “he never concealed his preferences for mon- archical {nstitutions,” and “believed that democratic government would end in des- predatory gold barons, known as the money power, Who are ut pres- entin con'rol of the Government, who to re‘ain that c%nv.mll nowht;amlnl the gr‘nt newspapers, the telegraphic news agencies, the cg:nl:umhl bodies, the churches, the re- ligious press, the farmers’ journals, the maga- zines, the universities and colleges. While meditating on these things and try- ing to realize what is certain to befall our country unliess a great chauge comes soon my mind reverted to & poweriul plea made by Benjrnmln G. Wright, five columns Ions. in the San Francisco Bulletin of Saturday, June 20, in behalf of the policy set forth in'the Repub- lican platform recently adopted at St. Louis for the management oi our Government and the promotion of the general weliare. Mr. Wn&s merits the compliment I vay him in saying that he has made the abiest plea I have =een in favor of the gold standard of values, and I will add that my copy of it is covered with blue pencil marks for couvenient refer- ence. Perhaps I may claim that I ‘what competent judge of his & close ler of & score of ¥ pers, besides weeklies and magazines, most of which advocate the views so forcibly presented b Mr. Wright; but the one declaration to whicl my mind reverted with much solicitude will be found at the close of his paper. “the con. clusion of the whole matter,” which is stated in these plain terms: ? “The triumph of the Republican party next November will inaugurate & new era of the most prolonged and the highest type of pros- rity which this country ever witnessed. he triumph of sound money will unlock Euro; vaults of the idie gold revival of industries throughout the United States. Foreign capitalists will wait the outcome of the pendiug general elec- tion with anxious hope. “It the result of the election proclaims that still good, then, if it is better than the bank- ers’ gold in England, even if we have sunk a nation 50 low in our own estimation as to be dependent for money to start the wheels of commerce to revolving with old-time prosper- ity upon the gold which we can borrow of these British bankers if we will vote for the gold standard. Both my paternai and mater- nal ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War in Virginia and the Carolinas, and I was made a Republican in my native State of Iili- nois in my youth by Abraham Lincoln’s con- versation end speeches, so I confess that my indignation buras :as I contemplate Mr. Wright's abject dependence on English gold. Asa Lincolp Republican I scorn his plea. I prefer American indepenaence, although I may have to use full legal tender paper money made by my own Government instead of Brit- ish gold, and «ven if it stays at home and is not “the equal of that to be found anywhere” in Europe. Paper money made the Nation in the war for independence and sayed it under | Lincoln in the late Rebellion. But let me ask this simple question: If our credit is better than British gold, will buy it, and the gold owners prefer it, why not coln it into good Government paper money and use it ai home? If our credit, to put it in an- other way, is 50 good when it is impaired by bearing jnterest payable in gold, why is it not good as a basis for paper money, full legal tender money, when it bears no interest? Perhaps Mr. \\'nfht does not know how much English gold {s now invested in Ameri-/ can securities. The New York World recently gave a list of twenty-two classes of invest- ments, with the amount in each. I have not room jor it here, but the sum total is §3,193,~ 500,000—over three thousand million dollars, every doliar of it drawing a gold tribute in the form of interest from this country, smount- ing at4 per cent to $127,740,000 & year, and yet he pleads with me 1o vote his ticket tobor- Tow more gold and pay more interest. 1 suspect that Mr. Wright did not hope to win any votes for his party, but only to hold as many as he could 1n it. Jos 11 Essex street, San i SILVER FLUCTUATIONS. JorN P. IrisH QUOTES ITS RELATIVE VALUES TO WHEAT IN REPLY TO NELSON. To tne Editor of the San Francisco Call—SIR: Your correspondent, Henry Nelson, says that silver now at 67 cents an ounce will buy as much wheat as when it was $1 29 an ounce. Wheat is quoted in New York at about 67 cents a bushel; so an ounce of silver buys a bushel of wheat. Silver was $1 20 and above per ounce from 1833 to 1873, and wheat during that time fluctuated between 95 cents and $2 46 per bushel. Mr. Nelson asks when was fluctuate in price prior to 18’ In the forty yvears between 1833 and 1873 silver fluctuated in price just thirty-nine times, dodging back and forth between the extremes of $1 29 and $1 36 per ounce.

FREDERICK COURTENAY BARBER, York Journal. —— MR- McKINLEY ACKNOWLEDGES A PROMISE. ~ Cleveland Plain Dealer. PITTSBURG, June 21.—A party ot Pittsburg men, warm friends oi Major McKinley, spent most of last week in Canton. They returned home to-day and tell a story of a meeting be- tv::: ol«‘ll college chums, the revival of a promise given by McKinley when a bo, o ing law at Poland, Ohio. Lk Ameng the first to hasten to congratulate McKinley on his nomination was J ud::‘Arnll of Youngstown. There wasa warm hand-clasp between the two, who h: gethier, and ‘Atroll sala; "0 Deen students to- Bi| do _you remember a promise v made me at Pol; f s '!‘! - '1.‘““2::'!;!" when we were wrestiing ho Presidential candidate laughed snd es; do you come to No. n0t At 1L, That promise wes. amemiaa t, in New long ago. Icame to congratulate you. You can't say that you never prom @ men s job when you got to be President, though. Later the story of the affsir came out. Mec- Kinley and Arrell were students together, and one day Arrell solved a difficult Jegal prob.em for McKinlev, The Canton lad said: ‘“Thanks, old man. When I get to be President I'll make you Chief Justice.” Artrell npever gave the matter another thought until many years had passed and he was a Judge himself and had married a daugh- ter of ex-Governor Tod of Ohio. McKinley was becoming famous, and then frequently in jest, when they would meet, Arrell wouid re- mind McKiniey that he must hurry up and be- come President, as he wanted ihat appoint- ment. ENTERPRISING AND RELIABLE. Translated from the Arauto. My most sincere thanks to THE CALL, one of the most serious and important dailies of San Francisco and the one that, I am told, is the most read by the Poriuguese of this State, especially of Alameda County. Indeed THE CaLL, putting aside its kindness for the Arauto, is the paper that the Porfuguese ought to read, because it is one of the few papers that respect us and give us due con- sideration. Not long ago, in the list of San Francisco napers that tried to insult us, there was not THE CALL. Last week during the two conventions, the St. Louis and Sacramento, THE CALL was the, best informer and it was the first read in Sacramento, taking for that pur- pose a special train. Last week yet the Chron- icle gave us the news of the death of Hintze Ribeiro, which wrs false, while THE CALL ave o l&e sad but tzue news of Thomaz Ribeiro's ea. SILVER QUESIION IN KENTUCKY. Pittsburg Dispatch. The silver question, as it is understood in some parts of Kentucky, is graphically illus- trated by a letter which one of the statesmen at the capital received from a correspondent in that State. It appears from the epistolary evidence that a contrcversy was being waged between a sound-money msn and a silver champion. The gold man thought he had the best of the argument. He asked his adversary why he thought the free coinage of silver would make times better. “8imply because it wonld put more money incirculation,” said the champion of the white metal. “But how will it gut more money in eircula~ tion ?”” demanded the gold man. “How?” asked the silver man, with a smile of contempt at hisopponent. “How? Why, you blamed fool, if you can take one gold dol- lar to the treasury and get sixieen dollars for it, won'c that increase the citculation ?” PARAGRAPHS ABOUT PEOPLE.
