FOR PRESIDENT— WILLIAM McKINLEY, of Ohlo ¥OR VICF-PRESIDENT— GARRET A. BOBART, of Rew Jersey Election November 3, 1896, P e oo bl s e Mt s DR Maintain the Republican party. There is always harmony in regularity. Loyal Republicans should read the riot fot to the wrangl Now is the time for bolting Republicans to come back and be forziven. The shadow of Rainey falls on the Phe- lan ticket like a bucketful of tar. The demand of Republicans is for peace in the party and war against the enemy. This is to be a Republican year in San Francisco as well as in the rest of the country. Party government by State central com- mittees is universal in American politics. Why “I am in favor of the American pay- roll,” says McKinley. How is that for a sound-money platiorm? Buckley doubtless thought the tail of the Populist would go with the hide, but Rainey got away with it. The,threat of free silver closed the fac- tories, and a threat of free silver mono- metallism won't open them. 1f the Republican party is to remain a eelf-governing body it must respect the authority which itsel! has constituted. Don’t forget that the men who are most eager to continue the dissensions in the Republican party are Rainey and Buckley. Now that Buckiey and Rainey have fallen out, the peopie have only to unite on Colonel Taylor to make them stay out. The interior may rest satisfied now that Ban® Francisco will do her share toward carrying California for McKinley and Ho- bart. According to the record there are seven Presidential tickets in the field, but ac- cording to the outlook there is only one in it It is conceded that Catoris a conun- drum to the Democrats, but it is not cer tain yet whether they will give him up or try to answer bim. Boston nas a poet whose verses are said to speak volumes, and yet the Herald of that city declares the volumes ought to be suppressed if published. Among the guestions to be answered by every citizen in this campaign are: What did I lose by the McKinley tariff? What did I gain by the Wilson tariff? The Republican ticket is the only local ticket in San Francisco that is straight. It you do not vote that you must go crooked without knowing where you will land. Every Republican can assist in estab- lishing party harmony by putting himself into harmony with the party organization and opposing bolters at every turn of the road. If any one hasever had hopes of the elec- tion of Palmer and Buckner they may as ‘well abandon them now. Tariff-bill Wil- scn is going to take the stump for that ticket. Once more it bas been demonstrated to the people that Republicans know how to unite for great principles, while Demo- crats can only guarrel over the spoils they hope to win. By the nomination of a legisiative ticket non-partisanship has been reduced to) a political sbsurdity. Imagine a legisiator casting a non-partisan vote for Unitea States Senator. It the proposed mew charter is adopted we shall need s man of the stanchest in- . THE ELEVATION OF JOURNALISM When W. R. Hearst emerged from the classic shades of Harvard Collage and the gentle joys of dalliance to engage in jour- nalism there was much hopéful expecta- tion indulged in by those who had lofty ideas of the American newspaper and of its possible elevation. It would have been a high and noble ambition in Mr. Hearst to attempt the realization of these hopes by lifting the paper which had been purchased for him out of the depths of its past unworth nm?lnhcing it upon a pedes- tal of merit, virtue, honor and repute be- yond suspicion and worthy of public con- fidence and praise. Tha young man entered upon his career 2% a journalist with every imaginable ad- vantage. He had wealth, education, a good presence, popularity and an honored name. No man ever had a better oppor- tunity to lift journalism to a higher level and to keep it there without descending to the ignoble poticies, the degrading meth- ods and the slavish expedients which those of Jow instincts and limited means bave too frequently been tempted to em- ploy. He could have repeated and im- proved in San Francisco the career of George W. Childs of Philadelphia or Elliot F. Shepard of New York. | Instead he chose to wallow with In- creasing frequency and desire in the filthiest pools which the bogs and fens of modern journatism afford. He endeavored to build up the power and influence of his paper by methods which would have disgraced the most unconscionable fraud and faker who haunts the entrancetoa country fair. He has been utterly re- gardless of the yesterdays and to-morrows of a iewspaper, and has counted the friendships, the duties and the principles of either as nothing compared with the sensations of to-day. In the same issue, ana even sometimes upon the same page, his paper has paraded its owner’s hypocrisy in mingled praise and biame of vice or virtue, according to the passing whim of the hour. By partnerships in lotteries or worse; by purchased con- nivance at frauds and swindles in public and private service; by paid complacence in the presence of political infamies; by unblushing encouragement and advocacy of all that is false and hollow in daily life, and of every sham anda folly which have for their purpose the pollution of the human mind; by the ridicule of every aspiration and effort for the betterment of society; by daring endeavors at the levy of blackmail upon public officials, and by successful and self-confessed extortion practiced upon private corporations, it has made itself feared as well as hated by every lover of truth, honesty and decency in the land. A man who bas inherited wealth and bas acquired power by such disreputable means sometimes cherishes the aspira- tion to wash up and be a gentleman. The owner of the Examiner has never indulged in this laudable desire and may be ex- cused therefor, since an inspection of the files of his newspaper would impress any sane-mindea person with the utter hope- lessness of the task. It has been left to this willing exponent and organizer of all that is base and ignoble in modern jour- | nalism to amply deserve Macaulay's fa- mous castigation of Barrere, “Whatsoever things are false, whatsoever things are dishonest, whatsoever things are unjust, whatsoever things are impure, whatsoever | things are hateful, whatsoever things are of evil report, if there be any vice, if there be any infamy'’—all of these things are blended in this the most shameless and abandoned bawd and pander among the newspapers of to-day. There was not muchthe matter with this country in 1892, was there? There was not much the matler with this country from 1579 until 1892 either. Did you hear, from 1879 to 1802, anything in regard to the deple- tion of the gold reserve?! "Did you hear any Repubdlican anywhere alleging that we ought to borrow money? What was the matter with the treasury of the United States under the Repubiican administration ending with Ben- jamin Harrison? Nothing whatever.—Honm, J. F. Fort of New Jersey. THE NON-PARTISAN JOKE. There are amusing ents in every political campaign, and some incidents are more amusing than others, but nothing could be more amusing than a Non- Partisan convention taking great care to divide nominations equally between two bitterly opposed parties. A Non-Partisan convention has been in operation for some days in this City and County, and it has made very many nominations. The labors of the convention are now ended, however, and its work is before the peonle. The amusing feature of the affair is that the nominees for the Legisiature were made with the view of having a sharp division on political lines on the question of selecting a United States Senator, and the funniest thing about it is that Demo- crats are invited to vote for Republican legislators who would suffer their rignt arm to be cut off before they would help elect 8 Damocratic United States Senator, and Republicans are asked to vote for Democratic legislators who would rather be fed to the fish in the bay than be the means of letting a Republican go to the Senate. In fact the Non-Partisan legislative ticket is a most intensely partisan ticket, only that the plan is to "have Democrats vote for Republicans and Republicans vote for Democrats. Just what would be gained by such a representation in the Legisiature does not appear, but it is safe to say that should the ticket be elected each legislator would make haste to get into the camp of his awn party. - The next Legislature is bound to be a very partisan body. A United States Senator is to be elected. He will be a protectionist ora free-trader and party lines will be drawn sharp and fine, as they shouid be, and no Republican should have his bhands tied or be committed to be “non-partisan.” California needs to have a good working majority of partisan Republicans in the next Legislatare. R will Be about your homes and fresides that the great national wrong will siop to ex- act il mearures of vengeamce. If by any possidilily the workingmen of this cowniry should ordain that the American doliar be and are trying to keepittrue to itself have | look for new industries of many kinds. for some time been making wry faces at the idea of accepting Cator as their candi- date for Senator. This objection has not been confined to any single section nor to any particular kind of Democrats. 1t has come from the whole body of the party, to whom the very name of Cator has beenan abhorrence for several years. Even the earnest desire of the Bryan element to se- cure the electoral vote of California for the Jatter cannot reconcile them to the idea of surrendering to an ulira-Populist like Cator the highest and most honor- able office within the gift of a State. It is from Southern California, however, fhat the first formally expressed protest has arisen. It comes from the home of Senator White and is voiced by those who have heretotore been his adherents and friends. It calls upon him to abandon the iniquitous bargain between himself and Cator, and demands, if he will not, that the Democratic State Central Committee shall require his resignation, In unmeas- ured terms it denounces Cator as “a Pop- ulist, a sooialist, a nationalist, a revolu- tionist, or anything else to get into the United States Senate,” and charges Sena- tor White with treason to his party in making such an unholy alliance to further his own political ends. The episode which has just ended in the control of the local Populist convention by Buckley should cause the Los Angeles protest to become State-wide in itsadop- tion by the Democratic party. How can its self-respecting members reconcile themselves to the humiliating necessity of concealing from their noses the odor of the sandwich which is being thrust down their throats? SeTe———————— We want no idle men in the United States, and o the end that we may have neither idle mills nor idle men we must do our work in the United States, and not outside the United States. You may disagree with me, but I be- lieve in a protective tariff. I have always so belicved and I have never felt called upon to make any apology to anybody anywhere for having been devoted to the great principle which promotes and encourages American de- velopment and gives employment and good wages to American workingmen.—McKinley. BRYAN'S FALLAOIES. Mr. Bryan assures the people that ‘“‘in case we have free coinage all our citizens may take their silver to the mints and have it coined into dollars,” but he fails to suggest how or whers the people will find silver to have coined into dollsrs. Were he to say those who are lucky enough to own silver mines could, under free coinage, take 53 cents’ worth of the products of their hills to the mints and have it stamped and made a legal tender for 100 cents the people would know what he meant, but the way he put the propo- sition the impression is made that either he thinks the people are fools or he him- self is a trifle daft. Not one quarter of 1 per cent of the peo- ple have silver, and bence less than one quarter of 1 per cent of the people would Dbe benefited directly by iree coinage. Of course Mr. Bryan would say to this that free coinage would make silver dollars plenty because of the.great rush of silver bullion to the mints for coinage, but even 80, how would those who have no silver ouliion get hold of the mints’ output of dollars unless they had something to ex- change for them? Free distribution of dollars is not contemplated, as we under stand Mr. Bryan, hence those who wanted silver dollars woula have to give some- thing that would be their equivalent. Bnt it so happens that all of the people sre employers or employes — that is, payers or payees of wages—and in or- der to put dollars into the pocket of the employe the employer must be able to sell the product of his employe’s labor. For three years there has been no market for the product of American labor because Bryan’s kind of a tariff law has been in force, which enables foreizn labor to sup- ply our markets with its products, As- suming, then, that all the silvle is in dol- lars, would our idle workingmen get them or would the foreign labor that is manu- facturing our goods and wares for us get them? Mr. Bryan should explain this festure of his philosophy. The fact is, no beneiit would accrue to American labor, nor to any other class of people, if silver dollars were piled moun- tain high if they could not be reached throuzh the channels of emvloyment, wage-earning and markets. Admitting that our mints should be thrown open to silver, would that prevent foreigners con- trolling our merchandise markets? And if it did not, how would the doliars thus coined reach our people? Itis an eco- nomic fact that if all the money in the world were piled upon our shores we could get none of it until we made some- thing to exchange for it. Butextend to our industries proper protection, so that they may give labor all the work it wants at good wages, then the people will have plenty of merchantable things, including labor, to exchange for dollars. Mr. Bryan always geis the cart before the horss. We are enemies of all that which shall seek to destroy our credit; we are the enemies of all that which shall seek to rob our people of their savings; we are enemies {o every- thing that will cast disnonor upon the fair name of our country—enemies, indeed, are we in fhis Sense, and enemies with a power and purpose which the promoters of the Chi- cago convention will realize on the day afler election when they come to count the hun- dreds of thousands of voles which we shall cast cgainst them and their doctrines.—Ex- Secretary Fairchild. p 2 ONE MONTH FROM TO-DAY. One month from to-day the people will awake to know that McKiniey and Hobart have been elected. Over the country for four years the heavy clouds of depression and disaster have bung. On the edges of these reireating clouds the Republican victory will shine like & ramnbow of promise overarching the land. There will be a new brightness in the eyes of sil and a gladness in all hearts. The dawn of bet- ter times will be at hand. The welfare of the people solong threatened wili have been redeemed and renewed. We may tosame extent this anticipate the gicdness of that day. This Charies L. Taylor. Bryanism is bardly anything more than an attempt to reduce National politics to sectionalism and to substitute for the uni- wversal voice of the people the voice of one class clamoring against anotuer. Democratic candidates for the - ture shouid be compelied to say whether they intend, if elected, to vote for Cater | 3nd White, in their matual aspiration for for the United States Senate. There should be some way of getting an under standing of the muddle. In retiring from the mayoralty con test jn the interest of parly barmoay Mr. Sonntag bas won the approval of all genuine Republicans. It was a manly, straightforward thing to do, and Mz Sonntag will never have occasion to re- gret it Sara Newilie of New York. OATOR—BUOKLEY—WHITE. This is the political cheese-sandwich presented by the Popocrats of Californiato its honest citizens for digestion on elec- tion day. The collusion between Cator the senatorship, has for its limburger cen- ter the maloderous Buckley, who is ex- pected to give strength o the combination which every one conocedes to have been made, The strength which the presence of Buckley will add is of that doubtful character common to such mixtures and 1t will probaoly cause the people of Cali- fornia %o spew the whole aggregation out of their mouths. Those Democrats who respect their party On every sideare omens favorable for ourselves and our neighbors. Gold is market is improving and in all its thou- sand channels business begins to feel the effects of the incoming tide of & revived The re-establishment of the protective system will afford opportunities for the development of all our resources, and no man can fix the limits of the profits we will derive from them. One month from to-day what is now s hope will have become a realization. The election of McKinley, now assured, will then be a fact. There will be no longer any doubts and hesitations about the un- dertaking of new enterprises, the expan- sion of existing industries. Labor will find employment, trade will find a profit. American energy, freed from the compe- tition of foreign cheap labor, will go for- ward in the work of building up America into that mighty and marvelous common- wealth thatis to be. . All human good, however, 1s dependent on human effort. What we would have we must work for. Labor and capital alike ate subject to that law. If we would real- ize the prosperity we now anticipate we must be earnest in striving for it. We must work together like true patriots dur- ing the campaign. We must help to elect McKinley and Hobart if we would rejoice one month from to-day. " PERSONAL. Judge C. B. Stafford of Eureka is at the Grand. F. M. Lucas of Washington, D. C., is at the [ Palace.

Letters From the People. NOT FOR FREE SILVER. The Correction of a False Report Made by the Examiner. Editor Call: A late number of the Examiner contained a notice that Dr. Hutchins had ad- dressed a club favorabiy on the free coinage of silver. Many of my iriends have demanded of me {11 was iwo-faced. I wish to correct any such sentiment. In my life] have done many, many things for which I bave “kicked” my- self, and when alone have called myself the most unmitigated ass alive; but I have newer been guilty of the lunscy of supporting this sublime fatuity, the free coinage of silver, nor this howling braggart who tramps around the country singing is one-stringed song and im- nes himsell asecond editien of Abreham co!

Smith, ex-president of the New York Stock Exchange gives the following fifteen reasons for opposing 16 to 1: First—Because man is finite. He cannot re- peal natural laws, nor perform miracles, even though ciothed with power to legislate. Second—Because falsehood, though expressed on silver and in raised letters, is falsehood still. Third—Because it would be the instrument of fraud. Those who vote to legalize fraud are the accomplices of those who commit frand. Fourth—Because it would occasion a great and sudden change in all nominal values, and deprive the people of the power to enforce an equitable adjustment of the most ordinary ob- ligations. Fifth—Because it would create such con- fusion in every industry as to materially les- sen opportunity for those who toil, and so in- flict great injury vpon the home market for our products. Most men must earn money be- fore they can buy food or clothing. Sixth—Because we are more in need of ac- tivity in the money we have than we are in need of more money. Money is never made active by lesseutns the employment of labor. The dollar earned and used may reach any a’o‘:keL Hoarded dollars benefit no one. hen ‘‘the money power” is assailed with un- scrupulous vituperation 1t is wellto remem- ber that money has power to become inactive, power to hide. Itseeks refuge in gers of iar less magnitude than those it wouid see in iree colnage. It is not coinage, but confidence, that will make mopey active. Seventh — Because we need good foreign markets for our surplus produets. There may be some 1maginary patriotism in talk about twisting the British lion’s tail, but if we twist it off we will get litile from the British but the tail. We need something of greater value. It is not “‘a new declaration of independence’ that we need, but a continuance and an en- hrfiement of that interdependence that has made England rely upon us for many of our products and us rely upon England for the millions of money she has been sending us yearly in exchange therefor. Eighth—Because it would weaken a chief foundation of national life—the right to pos- sess and to safegnard property. at Tight away and we should be inachsaos of co:\meun( passions, anid no interest would be safe. Ninth—Because many of those who desire to cut 100-cent dollars in two woulid like to do the same with 50-centor 10-cent dollars. They care nothing for silver, but are more than will- ing to take any path that will lead them to- ward that valueless, irredeemable paver money ‘which they have long craved. Tenth—Because the quacks in finance who favor it propose toinject into the body politic more than three hundred times ss mauy silver dollars as it was able 10 absorb when there 'Was no restraint upon their use. An overdose is more likely to aggrave 1han to relieve. Eleventh—Because we need both credit and security. The advocates of free coinage fayor the prohibition of contracts that define the value of the dollars with which debt shall be aid. When men are prohibited from giving ull security they will preveated from get- tng credit. Twelfth—Because its advocates seex for ‘power to injure the most effective instruments we use—the banks that give money wideand safe distribution, and the railroads thatdo our transportation at excessively low rates. It is not the erippled bank that gives the peoplelib- eral accommodation, or the erippled railroad that gives them the most satisfactory service. Thirteenth—Because those who ask for power to debase our money ask also for power to take from our mails and our property in transit the otection of Federallaw. When that is withe awn and mobs £re Dot restrained we shall cease to be a Nation. Fourteenth—Because we need to dwell to- gether in unity. The silver laaders are seek- ing to set against each other capital and labor, Erod\lur and consumer, borrower and lender, oping 10 win power through the hatred they incite; and they are not ham; by common-sense In their efforts to stir up sirife. Although they hope to delude some houest men with their sophisiries, their main reliance is not upon honesty or intelligence, but upon the dishonest, the ignorant, the shiftless and tbe vicious. The best mea in both of the great parties are earnestly in oppo- sition to the Coinage proposed. Fifteentb—Because its adoption would in- delibly inscribe upon the of history & record of dishonor that our descendaats could not read without fee!ings of humiliation and shame, and it would prove our incapacity for self-government. We shail present no sueh proof, we shall make Do such record. Maine aud Vermont have led the way in which the country will go in November, and it will be well for millions of men if it move with such majorities that repudiation will hide its hideous head so com- pletely that agitation will give place to pros- perity and peaces CAMPAIGN ECHOES.

RIGHT AND EXPEDIENCY OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE. The vrineiple of equal rights, the keynote of American civilization, is the pivot on which the whole question of the enfranchisement of women turns. Here our argument is grounded onarock. The Declaration of Independence declares that “ail men are created equal”; equal, not in capaeities, but in rights. It must be conceded by all that the word “men” here includes both sexes. These words of Jefferson but echo the voice of progres- | sive humanity. This equality of rights being once recognized, we have only to inquire what rights man has to & | veoice in government in order to discover i woman’s right to the same. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness have been set forth as the inalienable rights of man. Now, what- ever may be said as to the possibility of in- alienable rights in society, no one will deny that these rights belong equally to both sexes. | If woman has the same right to life, liberty and property that man bas, then she has a right to an equal protection, and tnis is pre- cisely what is meant by the right of suffrage. In consequence of the imperfect state of human society, governments are instituted to secure these rights. Woman, having the | same rights as man, needs the same security. | Government is therefore as necessary for one as for the other. But government derives its | powers from the consent of the governed. Is| this declaration true? To deny it is to deny | the fundamental principle of constitutional | government, If true then our question is fairly and for- ever settled; and it requires no argument to show that itis true, for it is self-evident that government exists by the consent of those with whom it originates. It originated in the neces- sities of both men and woman; it must, there- fore, exist by the consent of both man and woman. Thus is the right of woman to the ballot established in the first principles of our Government. The wrong arising from with- holding suffrage from the women of this State is not only negative but also positive. The simple exclusion is but the mildest phase of the injustice. The sin is more than doubled when with this exclusion taxation is coupled. Your women pay taxes upon millions of dollars worth of real and personal property, yet they are debarred from all representation | in the Government and cannot say howall this | money shall be expended. Thus does this so- called representative Government violate the first principles of its own existence. Suffrage for women is often objected toon the ground of expediency. Asif what is right | is not always expedient. We are told that our | basis of representation is already too ex-| tended, and that to give the elective franchise | to women would ounly aggravate the evir If this be true, then let reasonable qualifications | be required for admission to the ballot; butlet | all parties be subject to the same restrictions. Let no advantage be given tosex. Let nothing | be made a disqualification for the exercise of | the right of suffrage, which will not apply to one party with as much force as to another. ! We are told that the result of the whole | ballot would remain the same, and so nothing | be gained. This objection, if true, does not in any sense whatever affect the question under consideration. Suppose that two men vote | opposite tickets, shall they be disfranchised | because their votes neutralize each other? I so, then may one party cancel amother of equal number, and s0 all be disfranchised to- gether. This objection places no vaineon a vote except as it subserves party interesis and ignores the duty and obligation of all to defend what they believe to be right. “Women may relieve themselves of all | political responsibility by intrusting their in- terests to their husbands, fathers, broth- ers or sons.” This statement involves a moral impossibility, forit assumes that & right orduty ofone msay be performed by another, ‘which is simply impossible. It is the old ap- peal for class power. ‘The majority of the objections urged against | women suffrage only prove the necessitr of the reform. They spring mainly from the con- servative igstincts of humanity, and are ob- jections to those only who seek to know what is expedient before knowing what is right. Conservatism is always shocked at the idea of | reform and shrinks from it. Instead of main- taining the right, with all its consequences, it | is forever tormenting itself with the problem of expediency. Woman suffrage is rightand therefore expedient. EUSAN B.

WHAT THEY STAND FOR. Philadelphia Press. g One. Brran AROUND THE ¢ORRILORS. " Percy L. Shuman, formerly a journalist, then & Chieago lawyer, and since last January owner and operator of .several mines in Cala- veras and Amador counties, is st the Palace, on his way East for s flying business trip. His headquarters are at Happy Valley, near Mokel- umne Hill, Calaveras County, irom which place he manages the North Star mine, & gravel mine with 8 10-stamp mill and employ~ ing thirty men, four quartz mines neer West Point, and a mine near Jackson, Amador County. H “I have just now been inforraed,” said he yesterday, “that Mr. Gleason has made a very rich strike up our way—gravel worth $6 a car- load or about $10 a ton. Gravel-mining is the most profitable in California. Out of $1,500,- 000,000 in gold produced in this Staje up to 1894, the time of the last official report, $716,- 000,000 was taken out of gravel, about $300,000,000 produced from quartz mines,and only about $500,000 washed out by ground sinicingand hydraulic mining. There isa good deal of activity in the mining districts about Mokelumne Hill. That country is the seat of the operations of the Calitornia Exploration Company, which is spending large sums in developing mines thereabouts, and that natur- ally attracts a good deal of other capital. Al mostall the mines are operated by Eastern capital, and all are believed to be good paying properties at present. “There is the Esperanza, a quartz mine with 220-stamp mill in the immediate vicinity of the North Star, and owned by Cleveland (Ohio) men. Three miles away is the Gwin mine, which has just completed & 40-stemp mill. Over in Amador County the miners are looking forward to tne building of a new zailroad near Jackson with electric branches tapping the whole mining country, the power to be sup- plied from the plant of the California Explora- tion Company. Sucha syster will undoubt- edly be of great benefit to the whole district and to the mining industry. “In the last few weeks I have noticed s great change in the political aspect in the mining dfstricts with which I come most in contact. ‘Where only a short time ‘ago there was a pro- nounced sentiment in favor of free silver and Bryan the miners are now very generally favoring McKinley. They say that while they favor the coinage of silyer they are convinced that protection to industry is the greatestis- sue in this campeign, and they are wiiling to wait on the silver question until they can get the Republican party to handle it with proper safegnards. I honestly believe the miners are all coming to realize that protection is t greatest principle before the voters. Of cours up round Angels Camp free silver will have & great many supporters, but it will be largely a personal matter and not a great principle, for Charley Lane, one of the owners of the great Utics mine, is a popular man, and many of the men will vote for siiver because he favors itand perhaps because many of them are in Lane's employ.” BRYAN AND THE YALE MEN. WHAT 4 DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER HaS 70 BAY OF THE INCIDENT. To the Editor of the San Francisco Call—SIR: The mud-throwing sheet engineered by Silver Willie, the boy editor, having devoted consid- erable space to sdverse criticism of the recep- tion given by Windy Willie, the boy talker, by Yale men auring his recent attempt to wave the branches in the City of Elms, it would piease a few old Yale men of this City to haye THE CALL reprint the following ex- tracts from an editorial in the Sur of Sundsy last: We bave read caretully all the reportsof the proceedings of the Yale students which were_published in reputable newspapers New York. They agree in their statements of the main facts, and therefore it may be as- sumed that they are accurate. ‘What did these students really do? On the dsy that Yale University opened iis new col- lege year Brran came to New Haven and pre- pared to address a great crowd at the Green, adjacent to which are the collegze buildings or the center of the university life, in a town of which the university is the great and distin- guishing feature. The students gathered in strong force, as was natural. Practically they were on their own ground. They expressed their feelings against repudiation with the vigor and vociferousness of youth; and they had a righttodo it. They ought to have done {it; and the sentiment to which they gave utterance was bonorable to tnem. The boys made & great noise, cheering for McKinley and velling and jeering at repudistion, so thst Mr. Bryan could not be heard for several minutes. If they had sppisuded him inces | santly for even & full half hour would there have been any complaint of their preventing him from ting out in his sneech? Has not a crowd in the open air as much right 10 hiss as to cheer? At what period in our history 'was that privilege taken from Americans? These dissenting students, the reports agree, did not offer any personal violence to Mr. Bryan or anybody else. They did not throw Totten eggs at him or otherwise assail his dig- nity, but merely shouted their college cry and yelled derisively. They did not like the cause the speakes represented. They de‘ested and despised both it and him; and they made known their feelings noisily. It is said that “the position of a candidate for the Presidency of this great Republic car- ries with it the right to respect from sll eiti- zens, no matter to what party the candidate may belong or what ma political creed.” But it carries with it no such right. No one, candidate for President or anybody else, isentitled to respect uvless he deserves it. Should a candidate on aplatform of rank and frank treason to American freedom be re- celved with honor simply because he is a can- didate? This is arrant nonsense, When Mr. Bryan began his speech he pro- ceeded to insult tbe students by insulting their fathers. Would they not have been con- temptible fellows if theéy had not resented his Fords with all the force of expression in in, such & man with il It would bave been disgraceful to them {f they had kept sflence. Ifhe had a right to talk had they not an equal right to respond? Thers wasno obliga- tion of courtesy preventing them from utter- ing their indignant and derisive dissent. He offered himself for criticism and he has no Teason to complain because he got it. The Yale students did right. They mey have been boisterous berond the measure of necessity, after the fashion of col bors; but the spirit animating them was wholly honorable, wholly commendable, Their ::n:rl have good reason to be proud of suca The Yale students detest repudiation, and all honor to them for the feeling! Whea they come forth'from their little college werld into the id worid of society they will make good citizens. They will fitly sustain the burden of duty to the Republic 'he!lx in the cruel and relentless order of nature, it must be transferred to their shoniders by their fathers. Truly yours, HOWARD K.
