TH E SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, (819 BER 9, 1900. _— FORMER DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR OF BRYAN BREAKING. T is evident that Bryan is going into the air before l he rgaches the backstretch and will not get on his feet again during the race. His acceptance speech at Indianapolis had in it some meager evidences of an attempt to think out an issue, but it was injured by the appearance of his chronic tendency to overstats. His spirit of exaggeration outruns all discretion. Since that speech was made he has to accept the Pop- ulist nomination and campaign in those States where Populism is not yet dead, but sick, though promising | to be able to leave its bed long enough to vote for TUESDAY.... )CTORER o9, 100 = JOHN D.

The writer says it is common in other wine coun- tries, and adds: “It is done in Germany particularly with an unquestioned fraudulent purpose.” Conse- quently he holds that the French ruling is right, and that we have no good reason to object to it. The same view has been taken by others. Lee J Vance, editor of the American Wine Press and Min- eral Water News, is quoted as saying American wines are fine enough to stand on their own merits, and do not need any French name to make them sell. He admits it will be necessary to keep the names of French wine districts to describe different kinds of® wine which are made in this country, because these names have come to be almost generic in the public mind, but he advocates their use on the labels in such a way that there can be no mistake as to the place »f crigin of the wine. Thus he says if a winemaker would use the label “California Sauterne” it would be entirely fair and unobjectionable to the French or any one else. That the public is rapidly coming round to that view of the subject is no longer to be doubted. Call has supported it in this State and several. of the best authorities in the wine industry have approved it In fact, right labeling is in the interest of the State. There is no reason why California should not be as renowned for its wine as for its fruit, and if our wine- makers digplay the name of the State conspicuously on their wine they will soon make it so. The ! taught at Paris ought to be accepted in good faith and not scouted at as an example of French unfairness or jealousy.

D THE GERMAN VOTE URING the early days of the campaign, while orators, organs, boomers and rootzsrs had a They claimed it as their own, and boasted a lead pipe | cinch on it. borhood as theirs. They put down all the States where there is any considerable number of Germans as sure for Bryan. Ohio, Illincis, Wisconsin and Michigan were announced as certain to give their | electoral votes to the champion of free siiver and | anti-imperialism. It is fortunate for the boasters that they took their | rejoicing ‘early in the game, for otherwise they would not have had it at all. German voters are not given to early shouting. Some of them wished the admin- istration had done more for the Boers, some are op- posed, like Senator Hoar, to the annexation of the Philippines, but none of them had any adv Bryan. They waited for the campaign to shape it- self so they might learn exactly what is to be ex- | pected of the two parties. They have now seen and heard; they have made up their min nouncing a determination to remain steadfast in sup- port of the party of prosperity and good government. One of the most influential Germahs in the coun- try, Oswald Ottendorfer, editor of the New York | Staats Zeitung, has brought his paper squarely into line for McKinley. In an editorial repeating his ob- jection to the Philippine policy of the administration he says: “In spite of all this we consider a Repub- lican victory less dangerous for the welfare of the na- tion than the eclection of William J. Bryan. He has shown in his formal letter of acceptance and in nu- | merous speeches delivered since then that he has not learned, cannot and will not learn, anything in regard | that his ignorance and lack to the financial question: of perception in this direction are incurable. | must be considered the greater immediate danger. is election would undoubtedly produce widespread urbance of present economic conditions, from ch hardly anybody would escape, and which would subject a large part of the American people to severs suffering.” That statement shows that the German point of view is exactly that of all other conservative elements in American life. In fact. it shows that there is no such thing as a German vote distinct from American votes. Our German fellow citizens are Americans, like the rest of us, and have common interests to pro- tect and a common patriotism to animate them. The | conclusions of Mr. Ottendorfer are exactly the same or of whatever former party differences. Eminent Democrats as well as eminent Republicans have re- peatedly announced them. Just before his death the ., late General John M. Palmer said: “Imperialism is a false alarm. The country is not, nor are McKinley and his followers, believers in imperialism. Mr. Bryan is the high priest of Populism, a faction that is already strong enough to menace the "best interests of a safe government. Between McKinley and Bryan there is but one course —to vote for McKinley ” Following the same lines and drawing the same conclusions from the same facts, Abram S. Hewitt, one of the foremost Democrats in New York, 1e- | cently said: “I do not see how a Democrat who 1s | true to the interests of Democracy can in the present ! exigency take any other course than to vote for the | Republican ticket. I propose myself so to vote, and I do this because I am a Democrat who feels that Bryanism and all that it stands for is diametrically op- posed to the principles of the Democratic party as | they were enunciated by Jefferson and as they have been construed by all the great men who have led the | Democratic party up to the time of the holding of | the unhappy convention of 1896, when the old organi- | zation was broken up.” These are straightiorward words. Whether they | come from a man of German descent or any other de- | scent they represent true Americanism. They show | how foolish has been the boasting of the Bryanites that they could separate the German element from other elements of the people and lure them into the folly of voting for Bryan by any sort of appeals they might make to them. There may be some objection- able features in the policy of the administration, but were they tenfold worse they would not be so bad as the evils of Bryanism. On that point all intelligent i | t | | men are agreed. The prosperity of the colintry de- | | pends upon the election of McKinley, and German- | Americans as well as other Americans fully under: | stand the fact. The innocent old gentleman of New York who paid $s00 for 2 hug frém a lady whom he had never met before has probably some very serious thoughts on the expense of living in the metropolis.

GRANT, elected Gov- ernor of Colorado in 1882 on the LJ Democratic ticket, president of the Grant Smelting and Refining Com- pany, and a life-long Democrat, has de- clared strongly in favor of the re-elec- {tion of President McKinley. He gives his reasons in the following statement: Editor 11: T am go- ing to support the Republican ticket | this year because I think it is the only sane man can support.
