THE PURISTS MAKE HISTORY “INDEPENDENT REPUBLICANS” ARE A PUZZLE. Frank Jordan Very Carefully Con- tributed a Chapter to the Novelty of the Interesting Situation. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Oct. 2. As usual, there is a tendency to turn the fall campaign In this county into one of personality rather than party. Individ- uals and not party principles are coming to the front rapidly, and the ballot which the voter will ha to study will contain names than we: ever presented to electorate on this side of the bay. There have already been nine conventions ch of which has put up a whole part of a ticket. These nine are the Non-Fusion Popu- blicans, Socialist s, Prohibitionists, Populists, ns. In addition to these are nu- independent can and be- all it {s a Chinese puzzle to le issue between the city and of th one between one branch the old American Protective Association and another branch; an issue between friends of Hilborn and Metcalf; an issue b e slaters and non-slaters; e be- tween the young men and the veteran ele- ments; an Issue betwen stalwa 1 Te- rs and purists; jssue between ssful candidates and soreheads; and se apply with 1 force to each iltitude e 1 is more than the people are 100k~ old party 1 1 vain for th ines. * innova in the methods of g and con g a political conven- rn uight.

To a certaln extent such a belicf is true, but it can be truthfully sald with- out possible fear of contradiction that no such methods as were adopted to call d carry on i G all will ever appeal to the intellig confldence of the mass of the voters. Whoever drew up the Independent plat- form was a genius. The kaleidoscopic platform 1Is a truthful reflection of the convention. Its first paragraph reaffirms the principles of the Republican party. - purity of elections is extolled. Mr. Young was condemned—the Southern w and the American justly lauded. s scored and soldier were sident McKinley's gacity, wisdom | and statesma were kindly reviewed and of course the body “insisted” that Il wave foréver in any place been planted. ,.Some objection has been ralsed to the plant of the flag, this term gener- ally being considered as meaning the put- ting away of g where it exer- cises no more inf nce on the world above, and surely the convention did not mean that. Republicans refer to the raising of the flag Funny is no word to use in connection with the following paragraph, reviewed in the light of the personnel of the con- vention: “We stand for the honor, integrity and perpetuity of the Republican party in this county, and shall oppose to the uttermost any attempt of corrupt wire-pullers, po- | fitieal bosses and corporations to control its primaries or conventions.’” This is a beautiful sentimen of the Maguire vice presidents, the late rabid Populists, one of whom—a Mr. Thompson—was nominated for a con- stable somewhere, and others of the Surists” who were present as delegates Fhen came & section referring to “equal rights to all,”” etc., ‘a government of, by, and for,” etc., and while a debate on this resolution was in progress the chairman applied gag law to a Second Ward dele- gate, who was so incensed that he picked up his hat and bolted the whole works. And while President McKinley's ‘‘states- manship” was endorsed civil service was most generously condemned. There is no doubt whatever that the local Republican party is beset with dan- gers. Blind indeed is the man who can- not see that much dissatisfaction followed the San Leandro conventlon, and that un- less this dissatisfaction be healed before November 8, there will be some sore dis- appointments. The same is true of ‘the so-called fusion ticket. Members of all three parties that helped to frame that ticket are dissatisfled and are preparing to battle agalnst opposing factions at the polis. There never has been a time when a stable, independent movement in which the public could be induced to place con- fidence, faced such an opportunity to be successful, but it has now passed. There are enough dissatisfled voters to were | kewige. Religious interference in | t, but think | turn the tide of any ticket or candidate that has been nominated, and it should be the duty of the Republican party to make such a campaign as will unite these | forces. It is not to be done under the | leadership of a handful of sorehead candi- | dates who know no principle other than self. It is not to be done by such a gath- ering as was witnessed at Germania Hall | last Friday night. It can only be ac- complished under the guldance of strong, able party men above suspicion and who | have the confidence of the public. There are scores of such men in this county. | At a general election they are always in | evidence, but with that remarkable diffi- dence, the exhibition of which has so hurt the Republican party they prefer to keep | their hands. off matter: y local. this element of the party declines to take |a hand in this campaign and to work | during the coming five weeks as they | worked prior to the election of McKinley, | then Alameda County may as well com- mence at once packing up the State ban- | ner ready to go to some other county. | Frank Jordan ought to win.

Now, if | Frank knows anything—and he knows a | great desi—he was well aware that, bis [ ends among the hundred delegates that attended that convention were not partic- ularly numerous. This, however, did not deter Jorden from taking advantage of a recess to treat his political enemies. “Hello, Ward, old boy," sald Frank, ad | dressing the chairman, *“take a cigar. | “Hello, old boy,” “Hello, old boy”—a | dozen times was uttered by Frank, and a | minute later the flower and elite of the | convention were smoking Frank Jordan's [’{R"fl.llfl.fii. while Frank was laughing, nod- ding, shaking hands and being most royal- | ly entertained in the house of his enemies. | The result of the ballot on County Clerk failed to show that Frank had a single friend in the house, but 1 would scorn to think that all those jolly good fellows, from Chairman Ward down to the rear of the hall, will fall to remember the | genfal and ageressive Frank, and espe- | clally his cigars, when they ‘stand with their God and a ballot in the secrecy of | the voting,booths_in November. i STUART W. BOOTH. THE COMPLIMENT RETURNED. Berkeley Provides the Flags for the New Ferry-Boat Named After the College Town. BERKELEY, Oct. 2—The university town has not been slow to appreciate the action of the Southern Pacific Company in calling its new ferry steamer the Berkeley. When it was generally known that the finest boat ever buiit to ply between San Francisco and Oakland was to be named after this city, its residents, responding to the call of President J. W. Richards of the Board of Trustees, decided to return the compliment in the most appropriate way possible. This they have done in the purchase of a set of three flags which will be presented to the Southern Pacific Company to be used on the steamer. lags are made of the very best material purchased with funds collected by public subscription. Subscriptions were limit- ed $1 each and the collectors met with a liberal response on all sides. The railway company has notified the Board of Trustees that the new boat will be launched at the Union Iron Works in San Fran 0 on the 18th of this month. v Fathers have been invited to at- a body, and there, on behalf of Berkeley's residents, they will make a formal presentation of the colors for the ferry steamer. —_—e————— Oakland Church Services.
