FOR PRESIDENT— WILLIAM McKINLEY, of Oblo FOR VICE-PREBIDENT— GARRET A, HOBART, of New Jersey TION NOVEMBER 3, 1896. EL At last all the tickets are in the field and still Tom Watson hasn’t found his place. The Indianapolis conyention succeeded in finding two generafs to lead the way, but where are the rank and file? | Bryan talks so much that his title “‘the y orator’’ bas been changed to that of | earisome Willie,” and the end is no!l yet. Bryan has not yet completely upset the Democratic band wagon, but he has| spilled out a great many of the old horn- blowers. To every home the protection of the home industry is certainly the chief issue of politics as long as ‘that industry is assailed. Buckner made an unconditional surren- der to Grant at Fort Donelson, but the old hero has too much backbone to sur- render to Bryanism. Palmer and Buckner would be a strong ticket if the Democrdtic party were be- hind it, but unfortunately for the ticket it is behind the part Bryan’s objection to the use of hickory as an emblem of the gold Democrats isnot the first time that noisy boys have been heard complaining of hickory in the handa of the old man. “‘Hard wheat, hard money and McKin- ley” wasthe cry of a North Dakota vet. eran in-the Grand Army parade at St. Paul, and the whole wheat-producing country will respond to it The Indianapolis platform will be a raft of refuge for old Democratic politicians who can’t take to the swim and are afraid of the tidal wave, but the great mass of | the people will join the Republicans in | the ark of prosperity. Before long the people will get tired of listening to Bryan's platitudes about money and will begin to ask him ques- tions about the tariff, and then we shall see Democracy take to the woods and leave the field to the Populists, Some conservative Democrats may find satisfaction in voting for tke Indianapolis ticket, but it they have good business sense they will take no chances with Bryanism but cast a straight vote for McKinley and prosperity. When Li Hung Chang was asked what impressed him most at his reception in New York the interpreter replied: “The! Viceroy says he knows something but will keep it to himself.”’ So it seems we are not to know what he thought of Grover. Li Hung Chang expressed surprise that our Government should exclude cheap labor while admitting eheap goods, and it must be conceded his surprise was well founded. It takes a Democratic word juggler to justify free trade and Chinese exclusion in the same platform. The campaign of education has no better object lesson in the need of protec- tion to California industry than is afforded,| by the exhibit of home products at the Mechanics’ Pavilion. Every citizen should see it and particularly should it be studied by those who are inclined to free trade. 2 et g On the newly appointed Democratic National Committee the only persons of National repute are Senator Jones, Senator Gorman and Senator Tillman, ana it will be seen from this that the combination is about as smooth on one side and as rough on the other s any board that can be found. The Grand Army of the Republic is not | arms with no thought of compensation for | of camp life is telling upon them, and | { the Union OUR VETERAN SOLDIERS: The velerans of the Union armies deserve and should recewe fair treatment and gener- ous recognition. Whenever practicable they should be given the preference in the matter of employment, and they are entitled to the en- actment of such laws as are best caloulated to | secure the fulfillment of the pledges made to | them in the dark days of the country’s peril. We denounce the practice of the Pension Bureau, so recklessly and unjustly carried on by the present administration, of reducing pensions and arbitrarily dropping names Jrom the volls, as deserving the severest con- demnation of the American people.—Repub- lican National Platform. Tt is notaltogether sentiment that makes the people of the United States solicitous about the welfare of the veterans of the War of the Rebellion. To be sure there is always a feeling of admiration for the sublime heroism of our veteran soldiers, and we like to hear them tell of battles, sieges and “hair-breadth ’scapes,” but underlying it all there is a duty which confronts the Nation—a duty that should be measured by tke worth of the Nation’s life, which the soldiers of the war of 1861-65 saved. Itisnot expected that the veterans of | our armies should have more than fair | treatment st the hands of the-Govern- ment, nor do they ask for more, but that much they should have given® to them, and cheerfully given. They are not paupers nor are tbey mendicants that the Government should extend ma te- rial essistance, but they served their coun- try faithfully and well at a time when they were needed to save the Nation from destruction, and they answered the call to the present nor of reward in the future. The Nation had to be saved from de- struction, and to save it was enough. That was years ago, when they were in tho vigor and prime of early manhood, but now the exposure and the hardaship they have not that physical strength they would have had their early years all been spent in the pursuits of peace, and hence the Narion owes them a debt that cannot | be paid in sentiment and gratitnde alone. There should, there must be, assured to them substantial recognition of their im- portance to the country at a time when the whole weight of the people’s civil lib- erties and business enterprises was put | upon their shoulders to be carried through the storm that raged so long and so fu- riously. It is their right, and it isthe| Nation’s duty. Itisa debtof honor that the Nation owes, and the Nation is in| honor bound to pay it in full. | The pension question is not one of pali- tics. Itisa question of right. The Demo- cratic party does not appreciate as highly as it should the relation the veterans of | armies sustain to the life | of the Nation, and hence it is not | disposed to accord them all the rights/ which are theirs under the unwritten laws | of gratitude. The Democratic party does | not take that lofty view of the Nation's | duty to its saviors it should, nor is it 1 the business of veteran soldiers to ask why it does not. On the other hand, the Re- vpublican party is free toadmit that the | Nation owes a debt to the preservers of its life, and that it would be dishonorable to shave it or discountita farthing. It should follow therefore, it would seem, that the veterans of the war of the Union armies | would not have 10 be asked to give their moral support and vote to one who is not only an old comrade, but to one who is pledged to see that the Government gives | them all that is their due, which is all they ask. The Chicago platform has the stamp of our party and claims its allegiance, but it is a | mere simulacrum, -a form without the suls stance of Democracy, and no Democrat is | bound by it, mor is it ‘entitled to his fealty. | It is the Ishmael of platforms. It raises | its hand against some of the principles of both parties- and nearly all the principles of | the Democratic party. It is begotten of the | unhallowed wnion between so-called Democ- | racy, Populism and anarchy, and that the | Scriptures may be fulfilled **it will be a fugi- | tive and a wanderer on the face of the carth.” | —Senator Caffery. e BRYAN'S IGNORANCE, No aoubt this is a campaign of educa- tion, but it is very clear that Mr. Bryan is not being greatly benefited. He told some Ohio farmers the other day that ‘‘the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to1 will maintain the parity between gold and silver.” Of course what he was trying to prove was that the free and uunlimited coinage of silver would advance the price of bullion to the coin value, and to clinch | the argument he said: ‘‘If any person in your community would stand ready to | take all the wheat brought to his office at a dollar a bushel nobody in this commu- | nity would sell for less than a dollar a| bushel.” Either Mr. Bryan believes the farmers of Ohio to be too thick-headed to under- stand a plain business proposition or he is himself devoia of reasoning faculties, and it is the latter most Jikely. Hitherto Mr. Bryan bas insisted that it was not a ques- tion of value of silver as a commodity, but merely a question of declaring by legisla- tive enactment that 50 or any Gther num- ber of cents’ worth of silver is the equiva- lent of 100 cents’ worth of gold to main- tain the parity between the metals, but now his position is that of the ultra gold- bug, though he probably does not know it. Admitting that it would be necessary to advance the market price of silver he takes the bullion in the gold dollar as the unit as well as the standard of value by which to determine how much silver shall ad- vance to establish parity between them. That is what he told the farmers of Ohio really means, but he did not mean that it should be taken that way, although he stated a fact. However, the word “parity”’ is not to be found in the Chicago'platform, and hence Mr. Bryan has no right to em- ploy it when referring to the coinage ques- tion. The declaration of his party means silver monometallism and the expulsion of gold from all American channels of business. % 8 partisan organization and yet in the grand parade, 16,000 strong, at St. Paul on Wednesday we are told “There was fre- quent cheering for McKinley by veterans and spectators all along the line.” The army boys know their old comrade of the war and are with him to a man. —_——— The issue of the campaign.is now male clear: Conservative Democracy stands for gold monometzllism, Populist Democ- racy for silver monometallism, and tke Republican party for bimetallism; ‘so every man has an opportunity to vote for the exact financial policy he believes to be best and the result will show clearly what the people wish. “We cannot make bedfellows of our life-long antagonists even in a night of furious storm and thick darkness,” said Chairman Caffery to the Indianapolis convention; and of course if he and his friends haven’t sense enough to come in out of the wet there is no reason why Re- publicans should complain. We would have taken them in only out of charity, anyhow, When Mr. Bryan asks if any person would sell wheat at less than a dollar when some one stood ready to pay a dol- lar, be is exposing his own ignorance or is trying to misl He gives the impres- sion that free coinage means that the Goy- ernment would becorhe a buyer of silver bullion, whereas the Government would not buy the metal at all. It would simply convert it into disks and. put its stamp upon them. The Government’srelation to the transaction would correspond to that of a public inspector and weightmaster of commodities who certified to the qual- ity and quantity of the thing inspected and weighed, and the Government’s stamp upon silver disks or dollars would no more fix their parchasing power than would the inspector and weightmaster’s certificate fix the value of the commodity he handled. If Mr. Bryan knows this to be true he deliborately misrepresented an economic fact to the Ohio farmers, and if he does not kuow it to be true he should retire to an economic kindergarten. Every schoolboy knows that the Gov- ernment could not declare anything a legal tender except for debts where no mention is made for payment in & specific thing. Gold nor silver nor paper money could be made a legal tender in current transactions. Mr. Bryan appears to under- stand, 1if he tells the truth, that under free coinage the Government would have to take all offerings of silver on the basis of parity between silver and gold as to their purchasing and redemption value, but nothing of the kind would or could obtain. The only way under the shining sun by which silver can be put into the operations of commerce on a parity with gold in cur- rent transactions is for tnose who conduct commerce to agree that it shall be done, and that is what the Republican party proposes to do. You can lead a horse to the river, but you cannot make him drink, any more than you can make a California farmer accept money that he does not want for his products. , It isnot an increase in the volume of money which is the need of the. time, but an increase in the volume of business. Not an dherease of coin, but an increase of confidence. Not more coinage, but a more active use of the money coined. Not open | mints for the wunlimited coinage of the silver of the world, but open mills for the full and unrestricted labor.of American laboringmen. —McKinley, ADMISSION DAY. With the campaign, the State Fair at Sacramento and the home-industry ex- hibitat Mechanics’ Pavilion, Californians, it wounld seem, have about as much as they can attend to with any marked degree of interest or energy. There is, however, another call upon their attention aund activities, Admission day is near at band, Stockton is preparing a festival that will eclivse all celebrations of the kind and native sons and daughters are getting ready to lay aside party spirit fora !,ime to rejoice in the exultation of a mutual patriotism and Californian pride. With each recurricg celebration of Ad- mission day the native youth of the State finds itself more and more potent ana in- fluential in all depgrtments of California life. Business, society, politics, art and literature are all passiug more or less into the control of young men and women who were born in California and naturally feel for it a devotion even more intense than that of pioneers and argonauts, who love it for the services they have rendered it and the rewards it has given. With the growing power of the children of her soil, California will of course find an iucrease of civic and State patriotism among her people. There will be a lessening of the comparative influence of those who come to the State simply to make a tortune for themselves aund an increasing influence of those who seek the welfare of the whole commonwealth and desire to make it the foremost State in the Union. When we consider the rapid growth of | the native element in our population it must be accounted a most fortunate thing that the young men and women who are 80 soon to manage the affairs of the State are not growing up in ignorance of 1its wide variety of soil and climate and re- sources. The annual celebrations of the Native Sons and Native Daughters lead them to vi all parts of the State. They | see the north, the center and the south; the mountains, the interior valleys and the seashore; they learn by direct obser- vation more or less about all sections of California, and come into contact and in- tercourse with the people of all sections. Through these meetings they learn to know their State, 10 know one auother and to know how to act together. Thus they acquire an intelligence befitting their devotion, and when in the natural order of things the management of California | affairs passes almost wholly into their hands there can be no question but it will be conducted with a greater knowledge of what is best as well as with a more patri- otic desire to do what is best. ‘We have said before it is a fortunate thing the celebration this year is to be held at Stockton. Ina certain sense we have reached what may be called the era of new development in the San Joaguin Valley. That wide region, of which Stockton is one of the foremost industrial and commercial centers, promises to go forward in the next few years with a more rapid and more wide-spreading movement than any similar area in the State, or per- haps in the Union. It is well thatthe Native Sons and Daughters should go there and study the conditions on the spot. There will bea profit for them in all they learn, if they apply it well. 1t is not an increase in the volume of money which is the need of the time, buk an increase in the volume of business; not an increase of coin, but an increase of confidence; mot more coinage, but a more active use of the money coined; mot open mints for the wnlimited coinage of silver, but open mills for the full and unrestricted labor of American working- men. The employment of our mints for the coinage of silver would not bring the necessa- ries and comjforts of life back to our people.— McKinley. THE INDIANAPOLIS CONVENTION The work of the Chicago conventicn must be nauseating beyond all endurance when Democrats turn away from it. How- ever, the platform, aside from the money question and the attack upon the kederal judiciary, is fully in accord with Demo- cratic principles and traditions, and hence it must be the convention so overloaded the ticket with Altgeldism that the old wheelhorses of the party refuse to pull. But, anyway, the single gold standard members of the party held a convention at Indianapolis, Ind., yesterday and nom- inated a ticket to their liking, and now they are going belore the country to ask for votes—and they will get a few. Had they been less partisan and more patriotic they would have indorsed the nomination of Major McKinley, which they could have done very consistently, for according to their own utterances it should be the chief end of every lover of American institutions to pre- vent Bryan’s election. They say his election would be a National calamity. and they admit. that Major McKinley would at least give the country an honest and safe admimstration. But they are so intensely partisan that they will listen to nothing that does not begin and end with **Democrat.” % The nominees, Senator Palmer of Illi. nois and ex-Governor Buckner of Ken- tucky, are undoubtedly men of high char- acter and imbued with a spirit of patriot- ism that cannot be questioned, but they are faulty in judement. No one who is disposed to put the safety of the country ove party politics wiil dispute with the ‘National Democratic party’” when it de- clares that Bryan’s election wouid be a terrible misfortune to the country, but that is all the more a good reason why the en- tire opposition to Altgeldism should con- centrate upon Major McKinley. The mistake the promoters of the Indianapolis convention make is in mis- apprehending the real needs of the coun- try. Itisnot now so much a question of a monetary system as it is a question of putting the industries and other business enterprises of country in shape to require the employment of money. The masses are not complaining about onr' forms of money. It is because they have no opportunity to earn money that they complain. Capital is not compiaining be- cause of any inherent or acquired weak- ness, but it complains that it has no oppor- tunity to engage in business .with safety. Home capital does not feel like going to work in competition with capital of coun- tries whose wage schedules enable them to bring their products to America and control our markets, Our farmers are not bother- ing their heads over financial problems. They want our industries in operation and giving employment to our hun- dreds of thousands of working people so that they may have money to buy farm products. It is only the Bry-niu_- who are howling for a radical change in our form of money. The couniry's fluzin'ass enterprises need protection against foreign competitors who have the advantage of pauper and other cheap labor. Our banks want a revival of business so they may lind customers for their idle money. Wage-earners are demanding work and not new 'styles and shapes of money. These are the things the people of the United States want, and hud the Indian-|. apolis convention been more patriotic and less partisan it wonld bave indorsed the Presidential candidate who can and will give the people what they desire. e We cannot help labor by reducing the valus of the money in which labor s paid. ' The way to help labor is to provide it with steady work and good wages always paid in good money—money as sound as the Gw_emmmt and as unsullied as the flag.— William M- Kinley. DUTY OF REPUBLICANS. Although the belief prevails everywhere that Major McKinley will have fully three- fourths of the elecioral votes, it is the fact, nevertheless, that Bryan's wild and reckless threats are disturbing business very seriously. The Edgar Thomson Steel Works closed down yesterday, not so much because there is really any danger of Bryan ever having an opportunity to put his theories in practical operation as because of a disposition which runs all through the business world to prepare for | the worst. It is unfortunate that this is 80, but it woutd be foolish to try to make ourselves believe that the situation is other than what itis. Capital is always umid when threatened, and while Bryan’s attacks upon the country’s industries and commerce will fall harmless, the fact re- mains that they are doing immense harm just now. The industries of the country could not afford to be caught with a large stock of either raw material or finished product when November comes if the election returns should show that Bryan was elected, and bence it is only business prudence to keep near the shore. There isno doubt, however, that if all who are opposed to the revolutionist would organ- ize themselves into clubs and thus show an enthusiastic determination to give Bryanism its deathblow at the polls there would be a speedy revival in all lines of busiress, for then commerce and trade would know for sare that the people un- derstood the dangers that threaten and were prepared to meet them CAMPAIGN HUMOR. “What do they mean by parity?” “On! it means that one kind of dollar is justas hard to get as the othez.’—Puck.

One group shows a tight sleeve with draped puffs and s leg-o-mutton tight and wrinkled below the elbow. Smaller sleeves are no longer a mere rumor, they have materinlized in the fall gowns, and though they are stylish, pretty and becoming, they _ will not completely rout the larger shapes. For tne full sleeve is too comfortable S to be discarded entirely. But the woman who wishes to keep abreast or ahead rather of the fashions will have at leastone psir in ber best gown probably. The close, fitted sleeve, with full but short @raped puff is the finest model. It is made of one or two fabrics. One seen was of green and blue Dresden silk with the puff of blue canvas cloth matching the waist and skirt. Anotuer was entirely of the silk of which the gown was made. Sleeves with a close lining over which tne fabric is wrinkled below the elbow are & favorite style for this fall. -Thin fabrics look best treated in this manner, but taffetas and the thinner woolen fabrics are made after this x,‘:del. The lining is a small leg-o’-mutton shape. PARAGRAPHS AEOUT FPEOPLE ‘There would be very few windows broken if they waited for the man wiihout sin to cast the first stone.—New Orleans Picayune.
