FOR PRESIDENT— WILLIAM McKINLEY, of Oblo | ¥OR VICF-PRESIDENT— GARRET A. HOBART, of New Jersey FElection November 3, 1896 Time flies and the Pops with it. The weather cannot dampen enthusi- asm. Come with the people and keep up the shouting. Honest money Democrats! come out of the wilderness. Every day brings Tom Reed nearer and the victory also. Have your decorations ready and don’t forget “Old Glory.” ‘We expect all Central California to come to town on Saturday. The grand rally will be a ratification of returning prosperity. Look out for the campaign canard and don’t let it surprise you. Next Tuesday we sweep Bryanism out of the road and make way for business. The man who advocates the coinage of 8 dishonest dollar will appeal in vain for the suffrages of an honest people. The brightest sign of the times is to be found on a law office in Canton and it bears the name: William McKinley. Illinois will not turn away from the memories of Lincoln, Grant, Logan and Trumbull to vote for Bryan and Altgeld. Bear in mind the importance of the legislative ticket. Californiacannot afford to elect another free-trader to the Senate. Four years ago the people voted for a panic without knowing it, but they won’t vote for one this year with their eyes open. Nothing can stop the people this year— they are determined to put an end to mis- chief-making agitations for a long time to come. The deficit in the treasury is growing all the time, and every day a new increase of debt warns the people of the need of tariff reform. Workingmen know they had good wages under the protective system 1in the past and can count on them under the same system in the future. — Bryar is opposed to protection, opposed to sound money, opposed to the civil sery- jce law, opposed to the Supreme Court and decidedly opposed to common-sense. The election of Bryan the blatherskite would mean the domination of Altgeld the anarchist and the law-abiding people of the country will never submit to that. The hope of the Nation is the restora- tion of Republican rule, for all men can see that the greater portion of our evils has been brought upon us by Demacratic | legislation. L A The car on which Bryan is traveling over the country is called the “Idler,” and it goes without saying that Bryan may take the name for himself after the elec- tion is over. The services of Colonel Taylor on the Board of Supervisors are well known to the people and give assurance of the zeal and ability with which he will administer the office of Mayor. There is no question that the vote of California will be given for McKinley. When loyal Republicans and honest- money Democrats unite for the public good nothing can resist them. +No man who wishes to preserve the pur- chasing power of his wages, of his bank savings, of his insurance, of his pension, or of his income from rents will vote for Bryan and the depreciated dollar. To the glass-workers of Pennsylvania who asked him to vote for protection to their industries Bryan answered: “You are robbers—you are public beggars,” and now he is going round begging working- men for their votes. The big parade of Saturday will be a sight worth seeing, and people from all parts of the State should come to town and ice how California can welcome Tom Reed ind ratify the union of good citizens of all parties in the cause of good government., One of the strange features of the cam- paign is that Senator Teller's speeches aave been very coldly received all through she canvass, and he has not attracted half 15 much attention as Altgeld or Tillman. He teems to be too conservative for the Popocrats, and they do not warm up to aim, TO SAN FRANCISCO REPUBLICANS The Republicans of San Francisco who love their party and hope to be proud of its success in electing a President upon Tuesday next have laid upon them a local duty which complete loyalty to the party requires them to perform. Conceding to the local elector a certain degree of inde- pendence in the selection of strictly local candidates there are certain offices in- volved in this election the regular nomi- nees for which should receive every Re- publican vote. These offices are the Presi- dential electors, the legislative candidates and the nominee for Mayor of the City of San Francisco. 1t is bardly needful to argue that party loyalty requires every Republican to vote for those electors who are in turn to cast their ballots for McKinley. These should be voted for as a body, without any indi- vidoal preference or objection, lest the State of California should by any mis- chance be again committed to the humili- ation of a divided vote in the Electoral College. 1t 1s not likely, however, that the Republieans of California will this year stray far from their duty of voting for each and all of their party electors, and this, with a large accretion of Demo- crats who hold the National honor and safety in higher regard than their party allegiance, will insure California a place among the Republican States when the electoral vote shall be cast. It should be esteemed a no less import- ant duty on the part of honest and loyal Repubiicans to strive to elect a Mayor for San Francisco who is also a Repubtican. The chief magistrate of this great City is something more than a mere petty muni- cipal official. He represents the most populous and important subdivision of the State. He performs duties and wields an influence wider than the boundaries of his civil jurisdiction. He illustrates the strength and the purposes of his party within the metropolis of the State, anc the City over whose affairs he presides is reckoned to be Democratic, Republican or Populist, according to the politics of its Mayor-elect. The regulsr Republican nominee for Mayor of San Francisco is Colonel C. L. Taylor. He represents in every sense the honest purposes of his party for the wel- fare of the City. Against his integrity, his intelligence and his official ability, as measured by the test of experience, no political critic has dared to raise his voice in this campaign. If he shall be elected San Francisco will be known as a Repub- lican City during his administration, and it goes without saying that during his official term this City will have a Mayor of whom the Republican party of Califor- nia may well afford to feel proud, These things being true, it is the duty of every Republican in San Francisco as a8 matter of party loyalty and duty, to vote for Colonel C. L. Taylor, the regular Republi- can nominee for Mayor. There is still another set of officers for whom every Republican within his re- spective district should consider it his duty to cast a vote. These are the regular Republican nominees for the Legislature. It is well understood that by the concur- rent action of the Senate and Assembly of California at its next session a United States Senator is to be chosen. Next to a Repuplican President it is the highest duty which the people of the State owe to their party to select Republican Senators. | When the President and the Senate are Republican the administration is Repub- lican. It is therefore an imperative duty laid upon every individual Republican to assist to the extent of his power and in- fluence in the election of a Republican Legislature. Let no loyal member of the party fail upon next Tuesday to do his full duty 1n this respect. You ean only prosper upon honest prin- ciples, honest purposes, honest laws, public and private honor. Agriculture will be prostrated, commerce will lan- guish, mining will deerease and manu- factures diminish, if to the misery of partial free trade you add the heresy of free silver, which, in this contest, means the violation of existing contracts and the utter disregard of good faith and the absolute repudiation, in whole or in part, of our public and private obliga- tions.—MeKi ley. BANNER DAY, Marcus A. Hanna, chairman of the Re- publican National Committee, has re- quested the State Central Committee to make special efforts for the celebration of flag day on Saiwurday, October 31. It is the desire of the National Committee that all Repubticans should assemble.in the cities and towns nearest their homes and shew their patriotism, devotion to coun- try and to their flag, and their intention to support the party which stands for pro- tection, sound money and good govern- ment by having patriotic speeches and such other exercises as will be appropriate for the occasion, and tend to make the day a general demonstration of the loyalty of the people to National prosperity and National integrity. The address of the National Committee is in harmony with the preparations al- ready made for the great patriotic demon- stration in this City on Saturday next. That day will be for San Francisco and indeed for all California a day of patriotic loyalty and of public manifestation of de- votion to the flag and all tnat it symbol- izes for the American people. It will not be a partisan demonstration in the sense of parties, as they were aligned in former vears. Democrats and independents will join with Republicans in celebrating the day. It will mean the unity of the better elements of the American people against agitators and mischief-makers, and the popular determination to maintain the prosperity of American industry and the soundness of American money. From the time of the nomination of Bryan it has been apparent to the Ameri- can peopie that all conservative citizens would have to unite to check the tendency toward civil disturbance, financial wreck and industrial ruin. When the statesmen of the Democratic party were hooted out of the Chicago convention, and Altgeld, Tiliman and Bryan took control, it was made clear that the long-postponed issne between good government and lawlessness had been forced upon us at last, and that the people would haveto face the elements If under the free coinage of silver our | of discontent excited and augmented by foliars should come to have the present | the bard times of the free-trade depres- ralue of a half-doliar all specific duties on | sion, meet them in the discussion of the loreign imports would be lowsred in value | campaign and overthrow them on elec- io that extent, thus decreasing the rev- | tion day. iuue and at the same time breaking down It is altogether fitting, therefore, that ihe protection now afforded to American | the closing day of the campaign should ndustry. be made & great rally of all those citizens | be filled, who believe in maintaining law and the upholding of the existing order of society. Everything which is represented by the flag of the Nation is to-day represented by McKinley and Hobart. Intelligent Demo- crats recognize this as clearly as do Re- publicans themselves. They have not hesitated to declare themselves opposed to Bryanism, even though that movement masquerades under the old name of D mocracy. They have come forth, as their predecessors did in 1860, to stand for the Union. Thousands of them will be seen marching with Republicans on Sat- uraay, and that great day will be in the fullest sense of the word a banner dsy for San Francisco. Delegations from all interior counties are expected in the City on that day. Central California in particular will be strongly represented. It will be made a demonstration for the whole State. It will have the inspiration of the presence.of Tom Reed. It will appeal to patriots by all that the National banner stands for. It will undoubtedly be the most glorious political demonstration ever made on the Pacific Coast, and will carry to the East the assurance that California stands with her great sister States for the Nation ana its stainless banner. To coerce a voter is a er.me against the laws of the land, and if Messrs. Bryan and Jones knew ot coercion they made themselves accomplices of the criminals by not informing the proper aurhorities and taking steps for prosecu- tion. It has been the policy of the Re- publican party since its organization to Pprotect every cit zen in the execrcise of his elective franchise, and it will still adhere to that policy.—Marecus A, Hanna. THE OUTLOOK The defeat of Bryan by an overwhelm- ing majority of the American people is as well assured as any future event ean be. According to the latest estimates he is not likely to carry more than twelve States in the Union, and even these will be carried, not on nis merits nor on the merits of his platform, bnt solely because local ques- tions mnay determine the people of those States to vote for him, being assnred that their votes will in no wise endanger their prosperity by any chance of electing him. ‘We need not base our estimates of the result of the election upon predictions that are sent out from the Republican headquarters. A sufficient basis for them is found in the mighty forces which are working against Bryanism and for the success of McKinley and Hobart. No man has ever been elected to the Presi- dency of the United States who has not been supported by a large portion of the character, intelligence and business ele- ment of the American people. Mr. Bryan is opposed, not only by the united Repub- lican party, but by almost every sta esman of rank and eminence in his own party. Outside of the extreme Southern States, it is difficult to find any man of National fame who advocates his election, and throuchout the entire Northern and West- ern States almost all the conservative strength of the Democratic party is ac- tively and aggressively opposed to him. The effect of the defection of leading Democrats from the party is felt at the party headquarters, and all reports show that the National managers for the fusion ticket bave virtually abandoned all hope of success. Reporters who visit botn heaaquarters describe Chairman yones of the fusion committee as listless, dreamy and uncertain. There is no sign of vigor or hopefuiness anywhere around the com- mittee rooms. Everything is shiftless and no one seems to have energy to do anything beyond making a boast or utter- ing some claim of carrying disputed States. In the Republican headquarters all is different. Every man employed by the committee is full of vim and vigor. The energy of Mark Hanna is shown everywhere, and from the highest to the lowest among persons employed in the headquarters there is an air of confidence in coming success and of determination to work for it with an unabating aggressive- ness. ‘With this contrast between the elements behind Bryan and the elements support- ing McKinley and Hobart, and the addi- tional contrast between the energy of the Republican managers and the hesitating timidity of the fusion managers, there can be no possible doubt of what the re- sult is to be. Itis not necessary that Mr. Hanpa should send out a pred:ction. Every intelligent man can see for himself. Let the people of San Francisco look around. Let them talk with their neigh- bors, and if from this they cannot learn that the election of McKinley is & cer- tainty they have only to wait and it will be made clear even to the least sanguine by the overwhelming demonstration of Saturday. The moment we go to free silver a premium goes on gold, we lose our gold, the gold disappears from the cur- rency of the country. It is $500,000,- 000 or $600,000,000. That gap must because that will make an immediate and severe contraction. The mint capacity of the United States is $40,000,000 a year, going eight hours a day and running the mints at the full capacity on s'andard silver dollars. At that rate it would take them more than ten years to fill the gap caused by the disappearance of gold.—Senator Lodge. THE BRONZE BACCHANTE. ‘While the country at large has been con- cerned almost wholly with the Presiden- tial campaign the good people of the city of Boston have been engaged in a contest of their own which, while 1t may be called a tempest in 8 teapot, has nevertheless been hot enough to make the water boil. The cause of the heat was the presenta- tion to the Public Library of a bronze Bacchante by Mr. MacMonaies which was altogether too shocking for the good peo- ple of Bostou to gaze upon with serenity of mind. William Jennings Bryan is the bronze Bacchante of American politics. His figure in this campaign has disturbed the orderly good sense of the people generally as much as the bronze extravagance of Mr. MacMonnies disturbed the peovle of Boston. * His canvass has been as alien to American sensibilities as was the statue of the immoral artist. His speeches and harangues have sounded more like mad appeals to European mobs than to well or- dered American citizens. He has gone about the country exaggerating every dis- content, inciting every envy and arousing every prssion which could be affected by the language of a demagozue and has shown himself better fitted to be the leader of a Parisian Commune than of an Ameri- can party. Even those who were not driven out of the Democratic party by the Chicago plat- form have looked with amazement upon the extraordinary course of the Chicago candidate for the Presidency. When he announced early in the canvass that h: was going to New York to begin his cam- paign in the “enemies’ country,” they re- garded this as simply an extravagance of speech. They could hardly believe thata man who sought to be President of the United Sn‘u would speak of any portion of his common country as a land of the en- emy. Mr. Bryan, however, soon showed them that he intended to make a sectional canvass and that he did in all seriousness regurd the East as the enemy of the West. Later on he went further still. Demo- crats who hoped to be able to support the ticket while scorning the platform were shown that Mr. Bryan intended not merely a sectional canvass but a class canvass. He not only regarded New York as the enemy of Nebraska, but he spoke of capi- tel as the enemy of labor and property as the foe of poverty. Never did a Bac- chante in the days of old run greater riot through the woods of Greece than has Bryan run through this campaign. Talk- ing of the strife of classes and the strife of sections with a lighiness which seems to imply a total lack of moral responsibility as well as of political sense, he has made himself the most amazing figure known, to our politics. The American people can accept him as typical of our statecraft no more than Bos- ton can accept the last extravagance of Mr. MacMonnies as typical of what they meant when they erected their great pub- lic library. As Boston rejected the Pari- sian madness of ber gifted artist, so will the American people reject the Chicago madness of Democracy. There isa limit beyond which extravaganc: of any kind cannot be carried in this country, and the bronze Bacchante of politics, as well as that of art, has gone beyond the line and will not be tolerated by the people.

Bryan’s quotation from Washington as to “foreign influences” was not very apt. Wash- ington glediy accepted the millions of French money tendered to the revolting colonies by King Louis. Bryan would have told Louts to mind his own business, and.deciared that the colonies were able to construct their own financial system.—Minneapolis Journal. QUEER E. EC..ON BETS. ONE DALLAS MAN Must WEAR THE OTHER'S GARMENTS. Boston Journal. There are two men in Dallas, Tex, who are as different in their build as they are in their politics. One is a McKinley goid man, and the other is a Bryan silverite. One is short and fat, not more than 5 feet 4 inches in height, slthough he weighs rather more than 250 pounds. The other is as slim as a rail, and could make money 2s & living skeleton in a dime museum, as he is 6 feet 2 inches in height. The two men are great friends, howaver, and one day, while engaged in the luxury of a jointdebate on the issues of the duy, the fat man proposed with the thin man that they make & wager. ‘The terms proposed were that if McKinley won the fat man was to wear a suit of the thin man’s clothes for a month, while, on the other hand, if Bryan were to come out at the top of the poll, tue thin man would wear ilie other’s clothes for the same length of time. The friends are very much interested in tbe outcome of the novel wager, although it is suggested that the thin mun’ has rather the better of the wager, for he will be covered, least as much as the average bicycler exposes, while the fat man could not get into the thin man’s raiment without bursting it.

We are permitted to make the following ex- tract from a private letter written by Joseph Bryan, proprietor of the Richmond Times, dated October 20, 1896.

The letter is as follows: *‘My Dear Colonel: * * * The situation 15 immensely improved in Virginia ard we have £00d hope that the State will actually go for McKinley. 1believe that it would certainly do so if we could get a fair election, but th scoundrels are kicking and squealing; and being in full pos-ession of the machinery and utterly unscrupulous we will have a “hard time. #e .

Sanderson for Superior Judge* FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1896. Letters From the People. MKINLEY OR BRYAN. The Contrast Betwsen the Rival Candi- dates for the Presidenoy. To the Editor of the San Francisco Call—DEAR SIR: Itseems to a non-newspaper man, which the writer is, that since the Bryanite organs haye wholly abandoned legitimate argument, and now confine themselves almost exclusively to vilification of Mr. Hanna and abuse of Major McKinley as*“Hanna’s Man McKinley,” it may not be improper nor unprofitable to compare the nominations of the two candi- dates and thus ascertain which would be the more likely to be influenced in case of an election. It is well known to all intelligent voters that during the past four years no name has been more prominent than that of Major McKinley as the probable candidate of the Republican Natlonal Convention of 1896. His intimate connection with the McKinley tariff law, the successiul operation of that law, the emphatic repudiation of the repeal of that law in the elections of two yeats ago, and the triumphant election of Mr. McKinley as Governor of his own State by an overwhelming majority, all combined to deltil!ltp him as the logical leader of the Republican party in the present coutest for the Presidency. He was notand is not the choice of any one man or of any clique, but the chosen candidate of the great body of the Republican party through their repre- sentatives. Even toe leading Bryan organ of this City predicted his nomination long before the assembling of the St. Louis convention, and previous fo the mention ol Mr. Hanna's name in connection with the nomination or subsequent campaign. The truth is Mr. McKinley is no man’s man and the Bryan organs are well cognizant of this fact. He has ever been independent in his views and fearless in their adyocacy. Ii elected, it will be by the votes of intelligent and pairiotic citizens, and to them ouly will he be accountable, and by their best interests only wiil he be iufiuenced. But how differeut is the case of Mr. Bryan. Prior to the Chicago convention no mention appears ever to have been made of his name as coming before any political con- yeution for Presidential honors. And no one, in the wiidest flights of fancy, co:ld have imagined him as the nominee of the Demo- cratic National Convention. But when the Chicago convention assembled and the wily Aligeld of anarch stic notoriety ib:ained coa- trol of that convention and formulated its rev- olutionsry platform, thus causing all true con- servative ‘Democrats to withdraw, then Mr. Bryan became notonly the probable but the logical candidate of such a conveu.don to stand o such a platiorm. The motley a-sembly of delegates, represent- ing every shade of poiitic:] erankism, unused 1o the e ocution of the scheols and the high- sounding phrases of sophomoric rot, listened to the boy orator and were captured. They became hysterical, avd in a fit of hys- terics deciared that the youth:ul Mr. Bryan should be their leader in the Presidential fizht. And so he is, the hysteric product of sophomoric rot. It must bé rememtbered, how- ever, that the nomination of the boy orator only became possible through tne prior me- nipulations of the crafty Altgeld. Whatever Mr. Bryan now is as a Presidential candidate, and whatever his ciances may be, he is wholly indebted therefor to Altgeld, the anarebist Elrdoner and friend of anarchy. And in the ands of this crafty schemer the susceptible and visionary young oratgr can be but as dough in the hands of the baker. He is Ait- geld’s man or tool, 50 1o speak, and Altgeld is not the man to take his hanas off any tool so long as he ean wield it for the accomplish- ment of his own selfish purposes. Such, briefly stated, arc the facts bearing upon the nomiuaiion of each of the lexding candidates for he Presidency, and, in_view of these facts, who can have any doubt as to which of the caudidates would be the more susceptible to individual influence in case of election. There can be butoueanswer. Mr. Bryan, thou art the man. CHARLES T. BOONE. THE OHIO VOTE. A4 Resident of McKinley’s Distwict Con- tradicts Henry Grorie. October 25, 1896. Mr. Fditor—DEAR SIR: By request of some Cavy readers I have written and send you the inclosed letter for publication, hoping you will fiud space therefor. We are disgusted with the senseless Bryanite twaddle from the text “Hanna's Men McKiuley,” and feel like contributing our mite to check it, even at the eleventh hour. Very respectiully, THe letter inclosed is addressed to R. Arter, a resident of Canton, Ohio, now visiting in this City, and aiter an inquiry as to the situation in California, says: I read carefully the inclosed report of Henry George’s, in which the statement is made thut the v te of Ohio was safe for Bryan.

Others say not less than 75,000. The old Eighteentn, Mec- Kinley’s district, wiil give him 6000 majority ; old Stark ounty will give him over 2000 ma- jority; Columbiana over 2000 majoriiy. She will give over 3600 plurality. Liverpool will give over 1100 majority, and your town has been polled, and you have 126 voters in Hanover and 110 of them are solid for Mc- iinley and 16 for Bryau.

Editor Call: For years prior to the French revolution the nobility and aristocracy of France thought it fashionable to advocate the extreme radical theories of certain French political economists and writers who were ad- vocating a radical change in the political and social system of France, not becuuse they be- lieved in the new school, but because they (the nobility) wanted to show their contempt for their King, as they belleved that the old feudal power which the French nobility ex- erted over their sovereign was siipping from their grasp; so to counteract the growing power of the sovereign the nobility com- menced to advocate the advance theories of the new radical schoot of the eighteenth cen- tury. And what was the resuit? Anarchy, revolution and death. In a year of financial depression, miscry and want the Siates Gen- eral, composed of the different estates (classes), was callod to grant relief. Yet no effective ‘measures were passed granting relief, on ac- count of the attitude of the leaders of the es- tates—the nobility because they thought it was good policy to follow radical views and hamper tne King whenever he offered any measure for the relief of the people.

Some time ago an avswer was given in this department to the effect that astory that had in the past been going round setting forth that Emma Albott, on her last visit in San: Francisco, had sung “The Last Rose of Summer” t0 a young man who was dying of consumption, at his request, Ww: probably a fiction, and the answer was based on the fact that the sanie story had been pub- lished in many of the Eastern papers, each one declaring that it had occurred in_ the city of publication, and in_each instan e it was cred- ited to a different singer. Since then this de- partment has received a communication from & friend, in which 1s made the assertion that the song was sung by Miss Abbott to Philip J. Boost when he was dying, and tbat his brother, J. Boost, now living in this City, on Twenty-fifth street, still has the leaves of the rose torn apart by the prima donna when she sang the sweet words of Tom Moore. Another friend has submitted a copy of a letter written by Boost in San Francisco, December 19, 1890. It was addressed to his father and mother, who were living in the East, and in it he wrote: Do you remember, mother, when you were out bere and I went to the Hush-street Theater 10 see Herman? Emma Abboit occupled one of the boxes that evening. She is now playinz at the Baldwin Theater with her opera company. £ have an old friend. Mys.

She called Lo see mé a few days back, ana as we were talking about _the opera I said I would so much lixe to hear Miss sbbott sing the ‘Last Rose of Summer.” Now, she sald nohing to Miss Abbott, but in a round ‘about way Miss Abboit heard of my remark and sald that if [cou.d notcome to the opera-house 1 should hear the SOng anyway, for she con d come up to my room and sing it for me; and, surc enough, yesterday afierncou she came up and spent half an hour with me. She Dbrou_ht some roses and viole s and sang “The Last Kose o ~ummer.” It must be heard as sung by her to be comprehended. Its beauy and melody I cannot describe. In singing the song she pulied a (0se apart, leaf by le f.and thep let them drop to the floor. ' I send you in ihis Ibtter someof the leaves and some of the violets she guve me. She is a kind, womanly woman, snd treated me like an old iriend and cried because she could do n thing for me. Young Boost died in_this City a short time after Miss Abbott sang the song to him. THE REAL GOLU S:ANDARD. Ex-Secretary Boutwell, A gold standard does not imoly the exclu- sive use of gold, as Bryan and mus followers teach. Our standard is gold, snd the circula- tion in millions is thus divided: Gold, $463,- 000,000; silver, $497,000,000; paper, $577,- 000,000. The duty of a country under a gold standard is performed fully when gold can be had for international transactions and for domestic purposes without the payment of a- premium, 'é‘hu is the condition of the United States to= 8y. HONEST MEN SianD TOGETHER. New York Advertiser. For the last days of the campaign we want honest men everywhere to stand togetner. We want them to vote for good money. We want them to vote againstsilver swindles and repu- diation. A vote for McKinley is a vote for good business and good wages. It is & vote against idleness and starvation. It is a vpte for the enforcement of the law, to uphold our courts and the President of the United States in the preservation of peace. Itis & vote for the glorious old flag, that should never te at- tacked b, our own countrymen! SPEAKS Wl1inOUf AN INSCRIP. TION Chicago Fribune, Iieach American flag that is displayed in Chicago every day represents a Republican voteit is hardly an exaggeration to say Mc- Kinley will carry Chicago. There is scarcely a downtown business block without a flag at every one of its windows, and scarcely a resi- dence that does not put out its flag every morning. Every street intersection in the downtown district has two to four of the symbols of libs erty floating overhesd, and scarcely a vessel passes up or down the Chicago River that does not carry the American flag displayed, as if in defiance to some hidden enemy. A noticeable feature of the display is that very few of the flags carry any sort of political emblem. The siars and stripes tell their own story better than any campaign orator could do it. Theydonotneed the emblem of a gola dollar sewed to them to tell the crowds in the streets that the men who have hung them there are opposed to National dishonesty. FREsH buttercups, 25¢ a pound.
