FOR PRESIDENT— WILLIAM McKINLEY, of Obfo FOR VICF-PRESIDENT— GARRET A. HOBART, of New Jersey OVEMBER 3, 1896. Bryan is not so much a dark horse as an off-colored colt. The issue of the campaign is toturn down the fools. Now then register at once and get ready for the campaign. Bryan will get no congratulations signed Grover Cleveland. And the lone fisherman of Buzzards Bay—what of him? The people will vote for statesmen and not for blatherskites. Conservative Democrats will find room for them in Republican ranks, What will it profit Democracy to gain Nebraska and lose New York? There are some Democrats left in spots, but there is no National party of them an: more. N Frisid i < TR, Democracy will have nothing to ratify but wind, and it ought to be able to unite on that. —_— ‘Whitney, Pattison, Russell and Hill will find a Europvean trip very pleasant this summer. The Democratic donkey can say with truth: “‘The convention was ruled by my brothers.” Now then we shall see whether any boy orator can lead the Populists into a fool movement. Charles A, Danais a Democrat, but he is no fool, and is not following the party flock this year, The Democratic Presidential candidate is better than his party, inasmuch as his rceord is shorter. Bryan’s oratory will go through the Democratic platform like a windstorm through a fogbank. The Democratic ticket makes Republican victory sure, so get into the procession and help to whoop it up. A promise of free silver is buta poor giiding for such a bitter pill as a free-trade tariff and ruined industries. The only thing in New York that Democracy csn ‘claim is Tammany Hall, and they are welcome to that. After the meddling and muddling of this administration who can trust the Demo- cratic party on any platform ? The country was never more in need of a strictly business administration;, and Democracy offers it a windb Silver Dick Bland and Farmer Boies can sympathize with one another in mourning the ingratitude of Democracit The Chicago platform is weal, but it may be strong enough for the light-weight ticket that has been placed on it. We said this would be a campaign of business against flapdoodle, and Bryan's nomination fulfills the prophecy. Turning down Cleveldnd at Chicago this year shows & repentant spirit for having elected him, but It doesn’t atone for it. ’ The result may have ;n due solely to Bryan’s cyclonic oratory, and then, again, there may have been a dicker with Alt- geld. ‘We will be much obliged if the Demo- cratic party will circulate the speeches of Altgeld and Tillman as campaign docu- ments.’ Bryan may possibly carry Nebraska, but we take notice he did not do it when he was a candidate for Senator agamst Thurston. LA The trans-Mississippi section of the Union has at Jast a Presidential candidave, but he is only a little one and won’t be in the count. There are almost enough conservitive Democrats in this country to elect McKin- ley, and they are declaring for him all over the Union. It will be noted that the Chicago plat- form gives nothing but a snub to those who wish work and wages and a home market for home goods. SRR The deficit party remains true to {he de- ficit tariff and gives the country another proof of its incapacity to learn anything even from experience. ‘We can gauge the capacity of the Chi- cago convention by the fact that so shal- low a rhetorician as the boy orator of Platte could intoxicate it with the uberance of his verbosity and send it reel- ing off its fect, : CONSERVATIVE DEMOORATS. As the campaign progresses it will be seen that the protest uttered in the Chi- cago convention by Whituey, Russell, Hilland Vilas gave expression to & senti- ment which is not confined to a few lead- ing politicians disappointed in their aspirations for office. It expressed the earnest convictions of conservative Demo- crats ail over the country. In San Fran- cisco, as well as in New York and all along the Pacitic Coast, as well as along the At- lantic, that protest is being repeated and reassertea. Business men who believed in the prin- ciples of Democracy will not tollow blindiy the lead of Altgeald, Tillman and Bryan. They know thata Government by these men would be disastrous to every interest and every industry of the people. It would fill the country with disturbance, arraying one class of people against an- other, and be productive of evils which, in the aggregate, wonld be hardly les disastrous than civil war. That cléar-headed, patriotic Democrats perceive the danger ahead is beyond ques- tion. We have published in Tue CaLL in- terviews with many of them in this City, and the prevailing sentiment among them is unmistakable. They will not vote the Democratic ticket so long as the Demo- cratic party is controlled by agitators, demagogues and men utterly incompetent either to lead or fullow wisely., Thousands of men who would glaaly have supported ‘Whitney or Pattison will not support Bryan. They will not lend their assistance to men who are trying to raise class issues and sectional issues in this country. They are business men and they wish business to be on a gafe basis. They are patriots and they wish the Repubiic to be free from disorders afid dangers. They will vote this year for McKinley because he stands for protection that means pros- perity in business, and because he has a record of patriotism that means a devo- tion to the welfare of the whole people and the whole Union. The wruth is Democracy is an utterly discredited party. It was never so weakly or so viciously led as now. Never did it bave in Congress so many men each aspir- ing to dictatorship and eager to rule or ruin the Republic. Cleveland could not control these men. They made his admin- istration a fiasco. They gave the country a deficit tariff. They forced the President to borrow momney and tben denounced him for doingit. They broke every pledge made 1o the people or to one another. They filled both halls of Congress with bitter denunciations of esch other until their open, loud and shameless quarrels became a public scandal. Such leaders will not find support in America. If there were not Republicans enough to baffle such schemes and such Catalines there would be enough conservative Democrats to do it. The voice of protest at Chicago rings through the land like an alarm bell, and all good citizens will rally to confront the danger. W.LLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN. ‘While standing there upon the hall plat- form, all ready to declare the eternal ad- journment of the convention and ihe everlasting burial of the Demogcracy, Chairman White might have looked down into his party’s grave, and said with Hamlet as the Dane stood beside the grave of Yorick, “To what base uses we may return!” There were giant ‘minds in the convention. There were men there who stand well to the top of America’s long list of great political economists and masters of the science of government, but, like Gulliver, they were tied to a stake by Lilliputians, But then as Dean Swift says: So, naturalists observe, & flea Has smialler fleas that on bim prey; And these have smaller still to bite ‘em; And 5o proceed ad infinitum, Itishard to understand how the conven- tion finally settled upon William Jennings Bryan, the 36 vears old Nebraska orator. If, just before plungmng into the abyss from whose depths of deeper political damnation the Democratic party will never return, the convention thought it would perpetnate a huge joke wherewith to round out its blundering and perfidious life, the nomination of & man who sold out his party body and sou!l for one chance in a million to draw the epaulets of a United States Senator is easily explained. Bryan’s nomination is a joke. Mr. Bryan is not & Democrat, nor is he a Populist, but he gravitates from one to the other. He might becalled a political Don Quixote, unattended bv 2 common- sense, unimaginative Sancho Panza. He does not mean to be ungrateful, but he does not think it ingratitude when favors are bestowed upon him to turn and rend the bestower of them, if 10 'do otherwise would hinder him in satisfying his ambi- tion. He coqueti with the Louisiana delegation, yet he looks upon the payment of a bounty to the sugar-growers of that State as someihing rather worse than highway robbery. b2 Two years ago the Democracy of Ne- braska conferred upon Mr. Bryan the dis- tingunished honor of ‘“‘orator” of the State nominating convention. He delivered one of his “tornado” speeches and carried the majority of the convention into & trap which he bad previously set, and before many delegates knew what they were doing they had indorsed the nominees, platform and all, of the Populist Conven- tion which had been held a week or two previous. The price of the sellout was the support of what was counted upon to be a Populist Legislature for United States Senator. He got less than one-fifth of the vote of the Legislature. His candidacy for member of the Fifty- third Congress was steep uphill work until a deal was made with certain Popu- lists to throw the vote of that party to Mr, Bryan. Near the close of the campaign money was needed to “consummate’’ cer- tain trades. The Democrats who put up the required sum were in the delegation to the Chicago convention that Mr. Bryan had declared ‘‘irregular,”” so that himself his followers might be seated. Im. mediately after his defeat for the Senate by John M. Thurston, Mr. Bryan started upon a lecturing tour of the country, deliv- ering everywhere the one lecture, “The Free and Unlimited Coinage of Siiver at the Ratio of 16 to 1 Without Waiting for the Consent of Any Other Nation on Earth.” The expense of the tour, includ- ing Mr. Bryan’s salary, was provided for, it was saig, and it has never been denied, by an organization composed wholly of silver miners who were anxious to see the products of their hills and mountains doubled in price by Mr. Bryan’s plan of bimetallism, In point of understanding of the science and philosophy of government, he stands some distance below the foot of the long g.t of aspirants for the Chicago nomina- ion. Mr. Bryan has “talked silver” so long, and so much to the exclusion of all other economic questions, he hes aimost per- suaded himsel! that there is\no ailmentto which the body physical or body politic is heir that doses of silver will not cure. In fact, he is almost a silver monomaniac. Av least he pretends to believe the re- monetization of silver is all under the shining sun that s needed to make pros- perity so superabundant that the people would cry for a streak of hard times just to break the horrible monotony of raking in profits, On the tariff question Mr. Bryan is for free trade, pure and simple. He is very pronounced in the belief that the Govern- ment should be maintained from income taxes, and to that end he is in favor of re- vamping the Supreme Court of the United States so that it will reverse the present court’s decision, which was that an income taxlaw would be unconstitutional. These are only & few of the more leading “‘quali- fications’ of William Jennings Bryan for theoffice of President of the United States. And the once great Democratic party has come to this! > A TEW TARIFF FAOTS, The Chicago convention’s platform was constructed, it would appear, under the impression that the supporters -of _the Democratic ticket do not or cannot read. How far that may be trve the leaders of that party ought to know, but when they condemn the Republican tariff act of 1890 ‘““because it restricted trade and deprived the producers of the great American sta- ples of access to their natural markets,” they rely rather too much on the credulity of their following. Let us see how the McKinley act *‘ruined’’ the country. The returns of the bank clearing-houses in the United States in the year 1892 amounted to $36,602,469,202. In 1895 the returns show the clearings to have been $29,841,795,922. This indicates a shrink- age in domestic business of $6,820,673,280 for 1895 under the operation of the Demo- eratic tariff as compared with the volume of trade in 1892 under the McKinley tariff. These tigures represent the transactions of banks, and then only those situated in cities large enough to maintain a clearing- bouse, and it is estimated that bank clear- ings represent not more than 50 per cent of the total domestic business of the country. In 1892, when our tobacco growers were protected, there were 1mported 3,073,175 pounds of leaf and wrapper tobacco. In 1895, after the tariff had been greatly re- auced, the cheap-labor tobacco growers of other countries shipped to this ecountry 5,680,252 pounds, thus forcing an increase in imports and a corresponding hurtful competition, which is represented in the difference between the above totals, which ‘was 2,607,077 pounds. Our wheat exporis in 1895 amounted to $40,598,547 under the Wilson-Gorman act, and to $161,393,132 under the McKinley law in 1892. In trying to capture the mar- kets of the world, the Democratic tariff cost our farmers $120,500,585 in 1895, as compared with what they received in 1892, 5 The Democratic tariff reduced the im- port tax on rice, which increased imports from 77,622,464 pounds in 1892, to 136,106, 809 pounds in 1895, thus throwing 58,484,- 345 pounds upon our markets in direct and hurtful competition with American rice- growers. The commodity item of potatoes makes an important showing. On January 1, 1892, under protection, one barrel of potatoes would buy twenty-eight pounds of sugar. On January 1, 1896, one barrel of potatoes would buy fourteen pounds of sugar. In view of these facts, and the same may be said of the entire list of merchantable commodities, the chances are that the more the people think what the Chicago platform proposes to do for them the more convinced they will be that the tariff act of 1890 is about the thing they want. NEW YORK “SUN" FOR M'KINLEY. The New York Sun, altogether the ablest and most influential of the Democratic newspapers of the country, did not wait until the nominations had been made, but upon the adoption of the platform an- nounced its repudiation of the Chicago convention, its methods, its men and its measures. The Sun will support Wiiliam McKinley, not that it accepts the St. Louis platform as wholly reflecting the prin. ciples of government as advocated by that journal, but because the time has come when it behooves the patriots of the com- monwealth to lay aside party differences and go forward as one man to defend the Nation against the assaults of men gone wild ia their chase after economic vagaries and who boast of their purpose to over- throw and overturn the basic principles of the Republic. Charles A. Dana does not turn the bat- teries of his great newspaper upon his own political dwelling-place with pride or exultation. No doubt it is done at the ex- pense of more than one heart string. No one could be more sincere in devotion to party vrinciples nor could one do more to promote his party’s welfare than Editor Dana has done in the years of its struggles for supremacy; but wheu the alternative was thrust upon him to leave his political home or join with its worst elementin conspiracies against the life of the Nation, it did not take Charles A. Dana long to decide. Those who know how the New York Sun has labored in the past to hold the Democratic party to the broad, com- prehensive and patriotic principles of Thomas Jefferson will know that the Chi- cago convention must have abandoned all the traditions and all for which the party has stood three-quarters of a century, which it did. 1t needs no prophet to foretell what the Sun’s repudiation of the Chicago conven. tion will lead other Democratic news- papers to do. It may safely be said that before the month is out there will be found very few of the old newspaper wheel horses of the party pulling the Chicago load. A newspaper is strictly a business enterprise, and it could no more afford to advocate the employment of rash and threatening methods in the conduct of its affairs than a farmer, s manufac- turer, a merchant or a banker could in his. Nearly every one of the leading Demo- cratic newspapers of the country has been urging and entreating the rank and file to turn a deaf ear to the insigious whisper of the Tilimans and the Altgelds of the party, but the power of these political serpents to charm and destroy was greater, it ap- pears, than the power of words of wisdora to inform and save, and’ the once proud and defiant rank and file—the majority— of the old Democratic party are now in the coil of the snakes of their political bar- vest field. i "T'n SUNDAY CALL.” To-morrow’s issue of TuE CALL will be replete with entertaining and interesting reading matter, aside from its most com- plete and comprehensive presentation of all the news of the world, the Nation, the State and the City. There are many particularly bright features, all of which are handsomely illustrated. Tme Suspay Caryn is not made to please the eye alone, but rather assumes that the reading public of this City and State have the intelligence and ®ood taste to appreciate the very best and highest class of modern journalism. By this, as readers of Tz CALL well know, isnot meant a dry or spiritless journal, but one that reaches the heart and mind of all classes and kinds of men and women, because it abounds with 'an eve human interest. That is the key- note of modern journalism — buman interest. Realism without vulgarity is another definition for the same thing. 'We have passed the stage when sllegories and fairy tales flatter the dawning intel- lect, and the public to-day want to read of real men and women and of the actual romances and wonders and conditions of eryday life that is far more fascinat- ing and poetic than life ever was before. It is ratber upon these lines than upon sensa- tionalism and “freakism’ THE Cary seeks to interest its readers, and if circulation figures mean anything the reading public appreciates these efforts. And to find the poetry; the romance, the wonderful and the human interest in real life one need not seek far and wide for them—they are ever before our eyes, as one can readily see by scanning briefly thigpartial list of features that will be contained in to-mor- roW’s issue of T CALL: “The Man Who Was a Prince for a Day in San Francisco on Two Bits." ‘“The Interpenetration of Solids," a wonderful scientific . possibility - already foresbadowed by the X ray. - *Three Smail Picture Shows in London Town’* and some of Whistler’s portraits. “Women’s Rights That Are Very Doubt- ful Rights,” being the reflections of an ob- servant San Francisco woman. “The White Rats of the Water Front” and how they secure edible dainties. ‘A Vanished Dream,” being the history of 8 man who had money to throw away. ‘“‘Bobemian Jinks, Past and Present,” and one deligh tful peep into the heart of Bo- hemia. “The Wonders of a Terra Incognita,” discovered by a party ot San Franciscans in the Olympian Mountains. ‘“SBaved by a Mountain Lion,” & thrilling tale that is true.

On the body of & notorious brigand recently killed in Turkey were found £4000 and & note- book which showed that he had murdered 102 men. Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria is. & scientist, & musieis speaks half & dozen languages fluently, and does ail sorts of other things equally well.

Dieu—Patrie—Liberte.” It is interesting to note that, had it not been for the act of settlement, the English crown, by hereditary descent, would have gone to the family of the daugnter of Charles I, and would now be vested in Mary Theresa of Modena. This lady ean trace her descent in a direct line to Henrietta Maria, the youngest daughter of Charles I, who married Philip, Duke of Orleans, Count Tolstol thus describes his recent project of starting a newspaper: “I have buriea myself lately with plans for founding a newspaper. I wished a newspaper to spread abroad my ideas. I thought I should like a newspaper in London, which would give space to the opinions of my opponents as well as myself, and be managed by a committes in ‘which these opponents would have representa- uyes. This committee would have to decide on the articles to be published; the crucial test in each case would be the sincerity of the au- thor. That was my idea, but I have changed my mind a little now.” LADY'S TUCKED WAIST. A chermingly simple model for wash fabries isshown here. The waist has a fitted lining which may be omitted.

Black, who laughingly remarked yesterday that he is convincing Keyes of the error of his Democratic ways, has him already on the run and really believes that he will vote for McKinley, though he will not yet acknowledge it. Professor Keyes is a tall, distinguished look- ing young man, with hair and mustache of & silvery gray that adds considerably to his ap- pearance. “The Throop Polytechnie Institute,” said he, “has been in existenuce five years, and two classes have been graduated—-twenty-four students in all. One of the graduates is at. the head of the sloyd department of the Los Angeles school. Another is at the head of the sloyd department of a private school in Los Angeles. Another is in the Sloyd depafrtment in the Riverside school. One.is in the National BunkatLos Angeles. Another is bookkeeper in & large mereantile establishment. Another is instructor in mathematics and mechanical drawing in Throop.

He also endowed the in- stitution with $60,000, none of which, how- ever, is yet available, because of the unsettled condition of the estate. Tuitions are the prin- ecipal source of support, each pupil paying $100 a year. There are 313 students between the ages of 14and 25. A little over two-thirds of them are boys. The students board in pri- vate families in Pasadensa. The seven south- ern countles furnish the majority of the stu- dents, although a number come from Western and Mississippi Valley States, “There are twenty-one teachers in all—four of them women—and, by the way, two of the de- partments are in charge of Stanford graduates —L.

We exempt no student from elementary English and cer- tain fundamental work, mathematics and physics. Even the mechanical work is elec- tive, but of the 313 students 280 elected to do it “The mechanical work consists of an hour and a half spent each day in the shop and one to two hours in the draughting-room.
