FOR PRESIDENT— WILLIAH McKINLEY, of Oblo ¥OR VICF-PRESIDENT— . GARRET A. HOBART, of Rew Jersey Election November 3, 1896 The shouting is over. It was a great day for patriots. Reed’s speech was an inspiration. The next big thing is the balloting. California will be on the right side. Banner day surpassed all expectation. 01d Glory rouses the people every time. Victory is ready to light on her favorite perch. It is a sure thing for McKinley and Hobart. Evervbody says “I never saw anything lige it.” It looked as if all California had come to town. ‘Well done, Mr, Hanna. glorious. The idea was | It was truly the gala day of returning ‘prosperity. The classes and the masses are together on this issue. | | There was fervor in the shouting as well as enthusiasm. | We know now what San Francisco will do on Tuesday. Free trade we were willing to try, but repudiation never. | | Recreate yourself to-day. for you to-morrow. There is work We can rest with satisfaction to-day— the country is safe. This will be a morning of congratulation among good citizens. The vast procession looked like a holi- day, but it meant business. American workingmen will never vote to discount their own dollars. Remind your friends to-day that to- morrow is a good time to work for Colonel Taylor. Popocrats may begin babbling again this morning, but they were dumfounded yesterday. | Itis very evident now that McKinley’s appeals to patriotism have touched the popular heart. | " After the display of yesterday any far- ther talk of coercion will sound like the babble of a lunatic. The one thing to be done now is to make sure of getting out every vote for the right men on election day. We are nearly through with Bryanism and Clevelandism won’t last long. The hard times are about over. For a long time to come people will talg of the great procession, and those who missed it will be sorry for themselves. Labor and capital are not foes, but friends. They will vote together for a chance to work together for the benefit of both. Even those who doubted once are san- guine now. San Francisco will give Mo- Kinley a majority that her people can be proud of, The long-expected Bryanite canard may be turned loose this morning, but don’t let it disturb your day of rest. It cannot hurt anything. American labor and American capital have a mutual pride in the greatness of the Republic, and nothing can divide them in patriotism. The enthnsiasm of yesterday will sur- vive until Tuesday, and all citizens will go to the volls resolute to make the vie- tory a Waterloo for Bryanism. Honest-money Democrats who marched in the parade yesterday found themselves in such congenial company they can be counted on to stay with it hereafter. All over the Union the people were pa- rading yesterday in honor of McKinley and Hobart. It was a National uprising for patriotism, protection and prosperity. The voice ot the people nominated Mc- Kinley, the strength of the people sup- ported him in the campaign and the votes of an overwhelming majority will elect bim on Tuesday. - The utter fatuity of the Bryanite ap- peals to prejudice and passion in this ecampaign proves the intelligence of the American people and attests their scorn of agitators and mischief-makers. This country never saw a better cam- paign manager than Mark Hanna. He has urged the work with Vim und vigor irom the start and wound up the fight with the biggest flourish on record, THE' PARADE. The Republican parade of yesterday was beyond all question the greatest political demonstration which California has ever made or which, in any State west of the Mississippi River, has ever béen seen. In numbers, in order, in enthusiasm, in diversity ana in significance it outrivals all previous efforts of any political party in making a display of its hold upon the popular mind. No amount of eulogy could magnify its importance, and no at- tempt at detraciion could minify its im- mense significance as a forecast of the eleciion and of the way that people of California will vote thereat. The parade was & gratifying surprise to those who planned it, but it was an astounding revelation to those who, pre- vious to its occurrence, attempted to de- cry it. The vast company of marching men who made up its divisions mani- fested the faith of the voters of California, of every occupation and of every station in the Republican party. There were to be seen employers and employes, manu- facturers and wage-earners, bankers and bank depositors, rich men and poor men, old men and young men, marching, cheering and shouting, side by side. In the presence of the enthusiasm which they displayed at every point along the line of march the silly sug- gestion of coercion was put to shame, to- gether with every hope of those who have expressed it, that the paraders would vote on next Tuesday otherwise than as they marched in the parade. B The significance of this great demons- tration is evident to every one who beheld it. As the sun of noonday dispelled the clouds of morning that it might be a com- plete success so has the parade dispelled every cloud of doubt as to the result of the election. It has demonstrated beyond further question that the City of San | Francisco will roll up an unprecedented vote for the Republican electors on Tues- day next. When' the social torces, the organized industries, the learned profes- sions, the various elements and agencies of industry and order in the community all unite to openly aisplay their adherence to the principles and the candidates of a political party it does not require much reasoning to reach a conclusion as to the success of that party. The grand assembly which attended the address of Speaker Reed in the evening fitly closed the demonstration of the day. The great orator was given a welcome which amply proved the regard of Cali- fornians for his charscter, his services and his leadership. The very enthusiasm of the audience, aroused to a true fervor by the grand parade, had in it an element of difficalty for the orator. Few men could rise above the level of that mighty tide of vopular sentiment and lead it higher still, as the moon leads the waves. Speaker Reed did it. He was equal to the great- ness of the occasion, and by the eloquence and wisdom of his words lifted the minds of his listeners as by inspiration, and sent them to their homes with hearts throbbing with the earnestnessof devoted patriotism. The City of Ban Francisco thus gave ample demonstration yesterday as to which way the great masses of its bgst citizens will cast their votes. The election-day wiil not make more certain than the parade has done the fact that California will go Republican by a large majority upon Tuesday next. The Republican leaders who planned and brought to perfection this mighty demonstration of popular favor for the Republican party are en- titled to praise for the entire success of the great day, A stable currency, one that has a fixed value, that is worth the same to-day and to-morrow, is the best currency for | men in all conditions of life, and is the only one with which men in all condi- tions will be satisfied; and if there is any class of men in the world who have a deeper intorest than others in having currency which is the same from month tomonth and from year to year, ¢ is the poorman, the laboring man, the men who are most liable to be deceived by those who have better opportunities of in- formation in regard to matters of finance.—Benjamin Harrison. THE ISSUES AT STAKE. Yesterday we closed the campaign. The time which remains before election day will be fully occupied in arranging for bringing out the full vote of the re- spective parties. It is welb, therefore, for every citizen to recall the issues which are at stake, and by meditating upon theirim- portance arrive at a determination to vote and to vote right. Four years ago, deceived by agitators and the false promises of free-traders, the people put into power a party which at once set about the destruction of the pro- tective system. Since that time we have bad nothing but annual deficits in the National revenue, increase of the National debt and disasters in every trade and in- dustry. Knowing that to make a cam- paign on these issues would mean an overwhelming defeat, the désperate and reckless politiciang who have control of the Democratic organization entered into an alliance with Populism and have sought to obtzin a chance of success by raising a mew issue before the country. The issue thus raised would be even more dangerous and disastrous than free trade. It would mean the beginningin the American Government of the first steps toward a regime of socialism which ‘would entirely revolutionize the structure of our Government and convert it.into a despotism under tae form of a Republic. It might prove even worse than that, for as the men who are in the lead of the new movement are utterly incapable or de- vising or carrying out a scheme of orderly socialism, their blunders and folly, their passions and their hate might easily awaken such aiscord and disturbances in the country as would bring us to the verge of anarchy. The experience of the past four years is sufficient to convince every man that the welfare of his industry and the comforis of his home depend in a large measure upon legisiation at Washington. He has felt the direful results of Clevelandism. In the Ifght of that experience let him consider what would be the result of Bryanism. Let bim consider what would come from a Government presided over by & reckless and fanatical orstor, and domi- nated by Altgeld and Tiliman. Let him reflect upon what wou!d follow the depre- ciation of our carrency from its present value to that of silver bullion. Let him try to”estimate the cost to all who have savings in the banks, insurance policies, pensions, and debts due them. Lethim reflect upon the effect that would be pro- THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SENDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1896. duced upon trade and industry by the in. troduction of a fifty-cent dotlar. i It will need in him no great intelligence to see that such a change in our monetary system, even if Bryanism meant nothing else, would be destructive of the welfare of 21l When to the folly of free silver and the dishonor of repudiation is added the mad« ness involved in the attack upon the Supreme Court and in the denial to the General Government of the right to enforce its laws, it will be seen that the Chicago platform means nothing less than revolu- tion. Patricts can have no choice in such an issue as is presented to them in this contest. A vote for Bryan is a vote for rain, while a vote for McKinley is a vote for every promise that aawns for us in the streaks of morning light that rad iate on our National flag and for every hope that shines for us in the glory of its eternal stars, We want that confijence that will lead the bu.iness man to trust in the future and make plans for the year's work. We want that confidence that will induce the mea of capital to put their money out, having faith that it will be paid back to them in as good coin as they loan, principal and inter- est, wnd until you get that you will have no permanent prosperity or busi- s activity. —McKinley. PATRIOTISM AGAINST PASSION. This campaign has been, on the side of Republicans and honest-money Demo- crats, an appeal to patriotism against the Bryanite appeals to passion and prejudice. Tie aim of all who uphold the cause of McKinley and Hobart has been to remind all classes of the people that they are citi- zens of the same country, that tneir in- terests are one and that they have a mu- tual welfare as well as a mutual loyalty. As Major McKinley himself has said: “This is not a partisan campaign. It rises altogether above that. Itisa cam- paign for the United States. Its honor, its ¥redit, its currency, and its welfare.” | None can question the truth of these statements, nor will there be any gues- tion of the importance of his invocation to the people that on election day “we may all be inspired by the same blessed spirit of patriotism that moved the grand | and great men who founded our Govern- ment.” Mr. McKinley’s appeals to patriotism have been supvorted by every orater and every newspaper which has advocated his election. Not one single appeal to pas- | sion, prejudice, envy or hzte has been uttered or printed py any advocate of the cause for which ¢he Republican party stands. Everything bas been said to allay any possible feeling or animosity that might exist between any classes of the peo- ple or any sections of the Union, and againand again has 1t been shown that what the grand old party seéks in this campaign is the prosperity of the Nation and the comfort, welfare and happiness of all its people. We urge every citizen to-day to reflect upon this contrast between the manner in which the campaign has been conducted by the rival leaders and their rival sup- poriers. We ask every voter to weigh well the difference between the speeches of the Republican orators and those of the Bryanites and to consider seriously what that difference means for the Union. Are we to have a people united and sections harmonious or are we to have a disordered veople, wrangling sections and discord | in every portion of our country ? On this day of rest and leisure we can- notdo better than to invite the people to refi:ct seriously upon the solemn and welghty words of Benjamin Harrison: I preach this doctrine that here under that good flag, the symbol of freedom, under this arching sky, where any young man msy set his aspirations as high as the stars if he | wishes; that we should have a kindly feeltng between men; that every man should rejoice 1n every other man’s prosperity; thet all are united and that we should all work together— not rend men asunder, not embitter men with prejudice, but put these sweet influences of prosperity into every home and the sweet in- fluence of charity 4nd love into every heart. It is the duty of every true patriot to act in the spirit of those words when he goes to the polls on election day. Ii we vote for the unity of the people, for kindly feel- ing between man and man, for a pros- verity which will be mutual between all citizens and between all sections of the Union, we shall cast the ballot of a pa- triot. Buch a ballot every good citizen must aspire to vote, and he has been but a dull observer of the course of the cam- paign if he does not see thatsuch a vote must be 1n this campaign for the Republi- can candidates, MeKinley and Hobart. l Look at it in whatsoever way you please and it will be found that the true interests of the employe are in- separable from those of the employer, It is therefore the duty of every one to strive to harmonize these two great interests, and he. who tries to arraign one against the other is a public en- emy.—Marcus A. Hanna. VIOTORY - ASSURED. ‘The Sunday preceding a Presidential election has been always a day of specula- tion concerning the probable outcome of the campaign. It has been a day when the American people have reviewed the course of the-contest, weighed the argu- ments on both sides, estimated the com- parative strength of the opposing ele- ments and endeavored to determine not only how they should vote but what would in all likelihood be the vote of the majority of the American people. Thnere will be no speculation of that kind this morning. This campaign, in many respects different from any in our hisfory, has shown such a combination of the better elements of the people on one side that there can be no doubt of the re- sult nor any doubt how intelligent men will vote. i ‘What workingman will vote to reduce the purchasing power of his wages 50 per cent? ‘What man wBo has savings in the bank, an insurance policy, a pension or a fixed income from any source will vote to reduce the revenue which enables him to support his family? What busi- ness man will vote for a commercial cri- sis? What man engaged in industry will vote for the ruin of his trade? These questions answer themselves. The Ameri- can people are united as never before in their history and the election of Mr. Mc- Kinley 1s as certain as the coming of elec- tion day. One of the good results of the campaign will be the breaking up of the Solid South. States that have been counted in former elections as sure for the Democratic ticket are now either doubtful or well assured for McKinley. We can count among these Southern BStates Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and West Virginia as reason- ably sure for sound money, and there are chances of carrying Louisiana, Tennessee and Virginia for protection. The Solid South ceases to exist as a factor in pali- tics, and whatever issues may arise before our people in the years to come it is not likely they will ever again be sectional. ‘We congratulate good citizens this morning on the outlook, The grand pa- rades which marched through every great city of the Union yesterday and the uni- versal flying of the National flag in cities towns and villages all over the Union have clearly atiested the patriotism of the peo- ple. We are about to enter upon a new era of prosperity. Cleveiandism will be overthrown and Bryanism repudiated. We can look forward now to a degree of National welfare which we have not known for years, The dark clouds of de- pression and disester which have o long overcast the land are departing and, look- Jing upward, we can see along the ragged edges of these receding clonds the rising sun of prosperity reflected from them in a ralnbow of glory overarching the Republic from the Atiantic to the Pacific. st b S Sl aimat ‘We do not propose to commence now, after 120 years’ glorious history, of glorious life and glorious achievements, to repudiate our obligitions, public or private. We do not propose to attempt to ever do business with a dollar 1 cent short of 100 cents. We do not propose to accept our financial standard from either Mexioco or China.—McKinlay. FREE VOTERS. The tenor of various articles in the Ez- aminer of yesterday makes it evident that the tactics of the fusion managers in the closing days of the campaign is to raise the cry of coercion andto frighten the workingmen of the country as far as pos- sible into the belief that the resolute de- termination of the business elements of the country to elect McKinley means an attempt to coerce workingmen. Thiscry of coercion will no doubt be raised this mgrning and to-morrow to the extentof a great howl. We warn the people not to be deccived by it. It is a foul black lie, and the men who assert it know it to be such, Wevcall the attentlon of - the working- men of San Francisco to the appeal to them published in THE CALL of yesterdsy by the employes of the Southern Pacific Company. The second paragraph of that appeal said: Weare the employes of the Southern Pacific Company. It has been asserted, not ones but many times, that in advocating the cause of honest money in this campaign we are being “‘coerced” and “intimidated” by our superior officers. It has been charged that weare guided in our political actions by subservience to the company’s interests and fear of official dis- pleasure. This is not only, totally false,but it is & gross and gratuitous insult to our manhood and intelligence. We are men, not cowards. We are citizens, not slaves. We resent the in- sult which is offered to us and propose to show our resentment at the polls. _These words have the ring of true man- hood. They need no backing on our part or on the part of anybody. They speak for themselves. They express the just in- dignation of American workingmen st the foul and false charges which the Bryanites are making. Thousands of workingmen will indorse them. It is hardly possible that any American voter can be so false to himself or the proud traditions of his citizenship to be less indignant in expre: ing his anger at these assaults upon his manhood than were the workingmen who issued the appeal. America is the land of free voters, Our Republic was founded by iree men and is | maintained by free men. There has never been coercion anywhere in politics except in the South, and even there it was never exerted except over tne poor and ignorant negroes, whom' long years of servitude had rendered incapable of combining together to withstand the tyranny of Bourbon Democrats. Employers in the Northern States in the great majority of cases have them- selves been workingmen. They haverisen from theranks, They honor labor because they have themselves been laborers. They are true to the great principles of Ameri- can liberty, because it has been through those principles they have been enabled to rise from poverty -to comfort. They neither seek nor desire to coerce any workingmen. Every employe is lett free 1o vote as he pleases. None the less, however, do the business men and the industrious workingmen of this country intend to make it certain that Bryanism cannot flounish in the United States, that the honor of the Republic shovld be maintained, that its laws shall be enforced, that its prosperity shall be restored, and that the enemies of our social organism shall be swept from the fieid of politics by an overwheiming vote of an indignant mopl_e. “ME AND LINCOLN”—A Study in Brass and Bronze.

As the political situation stanas to-day Mr. Bryan will not get 100 electoral votes, while more than 300 are assured to Major McKinley. But because they will win 50 great a victory Republicans should not relax their efforts. The issue of free silver must be wiped out, and the way to wipe it out is to beat the life out of Mr. Bryan. At the very extreme Mr. Bryan should not carry more than Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Colorado, Louisians, Mississippi, Montans, Nevada, South Carolins, Texas, Missouri and Virginia. Of these States Missourl, Virginia and Louisiana, with perhaps Texas,could be teken away from hlm?l there was a fair count on election night. In Missouri and Virginia it is more than likely that te sound-money Demoerats will be able tocompelan honest count. If they do the “Solid South” will be broken into fragments. Major McKinley's victory will not be sec- tional. He will carry States in the South and the extreme West, as well as a1l the Middle West und_ the whole East. Keep up the work for MeKinley, so that Bryan’s vote may be held down to Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgis, Floride, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, South Carolina and Utah. Keep up the work to the last] Bury Bryan and repudiation! 3 —_— THE ENEMY'S COUNTRY. New York Sun (Dem.). When Bryan left Nebraska in August for his ridiculous expedition to the Madison-square Garden he said that he was coming to ‘‘the enemy’s country.” Mr. Bryan is now in Illinois, speaking as in. dufitriously and fruitlessly as he spoke in New York.' The East is stili the enemy’s country, The West has become the ememy’s country. Tllinois is the enemy’s country. 80 is Wiscon- sin. "So is Minnesota. So Io! So is 0. So is Indiana. 8o, it is said, is On the Pacific Slope there seems to ge area of the enemy’s countrv. One th of the Dakotas are thought to be the enemy's country. Kentucky and West Virgltnh have the look of being the enemy's country. Bryan finds the enemy’s country much en- larged tince he read his speech of acceptance.

A. Sanderson for Superior Judge® VOTE FOR SUFFRAGE. An Appeal to Workingmen for the Sixih Amendment. There is no class of men in California who should be so interested in giving the ballot to women as the wage-earners. There are said to be 20,000 women in the City of San Francisco alone who are earning their own living out- side of domestic service. All of these women, of course, are disfranchised and so long as this s the case they will be at a disadvantage, and the men with whom they compete also will be sufferers. What would be the cgnulflon of fhe workingman without the franchise? Where would be his powet? Every party, every candidate to-day makes his s trongest and high- est bid for the laborvote, Without this a can- didate cannot be elected, nor & party hope to be put into power. Parties and candidates are willing to promise anvthiug, everything, fn exchange for the votes of the workingmen, and if these promises are not kept the wage- earners can iuflict the deserved punishment at the next election. Take away their vote and there would be butoune way for them to enforce their demands, a method which need never be resorted to in this country. The vote is the safety-valve that preventsan explosion, It is the weapon With which the oppressed may deiend themselves and it is the only one permitted by the 1;:" of our country. Since this is so essential to the workingman why is it not equally necessary to the working- woman? Their interests are ideutical, what- ever one needs the other needs. In the present campeaign one party tries to prove that Mark ; Hanna pays insufficlent wages 10 the men in his employ; the other party charges that Sewall's employes ure under paid, and these are given as sufficient reasons jor aefeat. Now, if it were true that in either case the men were paid the very lowest wages, which it 1s charged they are getting, they would be | far higher than tens of thousandsof women are recelving in all parts of the country. The official statistics show that many of these women receive from 12l to 15 cents for a long day’s labor, often oi fourteen to sixteen hours. »: How can workingmen stand by and see this terrible injustice ? It is idle to say that the ballot wouid not partially, at least, remedy these conditions. It willdo for the working woman all it does for the working man. If every woman who is now compelled 10 work for 15 or 50 cents a day heid in her hand a ballot there would be legislative inguiry, and the lawmakersand the candidates and the politicians all would interest themselves iu the emancipation of these woman slaves. In helping these women, the workingmen will help themselves. Their own wages must be dragged down by the competition of this de- grlX:d, disfranchised labor, an underbidding which, God knows, these unfortunate women are not responsible for. The necessity for the enfranchisement of women is recognized by all the joremost leaders of the labor movement, Powderly, Gompers, Arthur, Sargent, Debs, all of them pronounced advocates of woman suffrage. At the great National convention of the Federa- tion of Laborin Atlanta, the strongest possible resolution was adopted declaring for the en- franchisement of women. At the National convention of the Knights of Labor in Wash- ington, D. C., a resolution was carried without debate and by & rising vote, demanding the franchise for all citizens without regard to sex. At the National Trades Union Congress, which met in Denver, & resolution was adopted by uuanimous consent uemumf in favor of abso- lute political and industrial equality for the women of the United Siates. In New York City organizatious representing over 100.000 men wage-earners have signed petitions asking suffrage for women. The central labor unions of all the large cities have repeatedly put themselves on record as fayorabie to woman suffrage. There is grohnbly not & newspaper in_the country published in the interest of Bar that does not stand for political rights for women. By voting for the sixth amendment on No- vember 3 the labor organizations of Calitornia more than double their strength, They secure not only the votes of the women of working- men’s families, but those of all the wage-earn- ing women of the State. THese women can be depended upon to stand solid for the interests of labor, and to these may be added the votes of many more women whose sympathie: whose work in the charities and reforms has brought them in touch with the working peo- e. P 3ore than all other mén shonld the wage- earners feel a vital interest in giving the bal- 1ot to women, since, much as they would love to do so, they cannot keep the women of their ‘families in v.‘n ease and comfort which sur- round those’ of the wealthy, and therefore they should give them every opportunity to strengthen and protect themselyes. The daughters of these men who toil will in their turn have to become breadwinners, and the fathers and the brothers should grant them every protection which it is in their power to tow, and the greatest of all isthe franchise, the right which will enable them to protect all other rights. In voting “yi upon thissixth amendment the workinfmsn does something more than justice to all women—he directly }wn;flumd protects the women of his own amily. Let not the workingmen of .California be stampeded by the cry of the enemy raised at the last moment to_defeat this measure—t] the ballot in the hands of women meanss reign of sumptuary laws. Thisscheme was at- tempted in Colorado, and the voters replied with a majority of nearly 7000 in favor of wo- man suffrage. This has been tried for three vedrs in that State, and the testimony of State officials, of newspapers and of prominent men ofall parties is that it has worked for the best interests of the State, has proved an unquali- fied success and that there is no wish on the E‘“ of any one to have it repealed. Women ave voted for twenty-five years in Engiand, &nd in this country in Wyoming, and there has been no attempt to interfere with business interests or introduce sumptuary laws. The; have insisted only upon respectable candi- dates and the maintenance of law and order as far as possible. Nolh(nf could be more ab- rd than to suppose that if universal suftrage granted in California the women will ever array themselves upon one side and the men upon the other of any question. When they are eniranchised the women will divide up into the different existing political parties, and work and vote with them justas men do. The women of the State have made a ciean, honest campaign against heavy odds. There have been great National issues atstake which have overghadowed all others in interest; been hard to obtsin; political parties have been so disrapted by dissensions impossible for them to give any considerable atientlon or assistance to the cam; n for suffrage. But, in spite of ail discouragements, the women have uietly and bravely continued their work, and it has peen harder and more exacting t! any pen cal describe. They have been *“in politics” more than they ever will have to be again if the suf- {rage is grantea to them, for hereafter hey can work within their own parties, where the: will be welcome and respected and protected, instead of having to force & somewhat unwill: ing recognition irom all rnuu; and the vast majority of women will take no prominent public lplrt. but will do_ their weork through that silent power which lies in the ballot. Now they rest their case. On November 3 it the jury of tne men of California. If lou is adverse then all the hard work t seven months will have to be done ain, for the women of the State ure so thoroughly aroused upon this guestion that they never will cease their efforts till they have obtained the franchise. We believe the men will not ask us to make another cam- 'i?:l'a".':tu U of peign, but will give to us_ their votes on next Tuesday, so that hereeiter we may give to them our votes to help their efforts jor wise legislation and good government.
