We declare our continued adherence to the pollcy by which the Republican party has proved itself in fact, as in thecry, the friend of iabor, and under which our manufactures not only control the home market, but are taking first rank In foreign markets throughout the world. We are in favor of the construction of the Nicaragua canal under Government control and ownership. We fully appreciate the menace to this country, and especially to the Pac!fic Coast, from the continually increas- ing influx of Asiatic labor, and we call upon Congress by appropriate legislation to protect us from this impending danger, We heartily commend the patriotism and valor of our soldiers and sailors who have upheld the honor of our flag and country and emulated the glorious example of the men who preserved the integrity of the Union and won the lasting love and admiration of a grateful people, We heartily Indorse the administration of President McKinley, as exemplifying the highest type of statesman- ehip, and gratifying In every particular the confidence reposed in him by the American people. We declare ourselves In favor of the continuance of the policy of the present administration as essential to the public welfare, and com- mend our President as meriting renomination and trlumphant re-election and hereby instruct our delegates to the National Convention to give him their hearty support. We indorse the fearless and economical administration of State affalrs by Governor Henry T. Gage and express our approval of the faithful manner In which he has discharged the duties of his trust. | s B N = e T | rassment, but its fidelity | that e WWWH‘*‘ Delegates as the votes were registered.

In criticizing the proceedings of this convention The Call, per- haps, is in a position of embar- to the best interests of the Republican | party and its duty to the people of California demand that it tell the true story: of the convention. Californians have demonstrated they will not tolerate corruption in political or public life.

With that knowledge he became a candidate in order that he might register his protest against the corruption of a corporation and place upon record the men who can- not stand under two flags. The proprietor of this paper en- | tered that contest as a Republican and he left it as such, concerned solely in the advancement and advo- cacy of the principles of Republican- | ism, but not of the excrescences of Republicanism. The Call is and will be a Republican newspaper. Its plat- form in the present campaign will be the platform of the National Re- publican Convention. Its policy will be to win success for the Republican party and to lash from public life the rascals who seek to protect them- selves in the folds of the Republican or any other banner. It is with this purpose that The Call exposes this morning the shame- ful machinery of a corrupt corpora- tion which operated the convention which adjourned to-night.
