KEPUBLIC'S FAITHFUL SERVANTS The republic never is in default of men to serve 1t worthily when the chief of the state is honest and able; when he has the eye and the will to choose the best men and will be satisfied Wwith no less. So in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines we got the best we had. Wood, Allen and Hunt and Taft have each in his place wrought a great work and gained & rightecus fame. Cuba and Porto Rico are free and enjoying—the one under her own banver, the other T the and Stripes—a degree of prosperity and happiness never known before in all their troubled story. As to the Philippines, the work dome there by Judge Taft and his associates will rank among the highest achievements of colonial administration recorded in history, Never | since thelr discovery has there been such general peace and order; so thorough & pro. tection of the peaceable and restraint of evil doers; 50 wide a diffusion of education; so compiete a guaranty to industry of the fruit of its labors. -And when they seo this energetic and efficient ‘government carried on, free from the venality and bribery which formerly seemed to them a necessity of existesce, then, indeed, they are like them that dream. The prln('ipnl evil from which they still 'uflerl s origin here. Some well-meaning peo- | yle~ #0 well meaning—are con- stantly persuading them that they are op-‘ pressed and that they will be given their | iiberty, as they choose to call it, as soon as | the Republican party is thrown in mu! country. These are the true enemies of the | Fliipinos and not the men who are striving | with whole-hearted energy and with consum- | mate success to ameliorate their condition and | to make them fit for self-government and all | its attendant advantages. The so-called anti- | imperialists confound in their dally speeches | and writings two absolutely unrelated ideas- the lberty, the civil rights, the self-govern- ment which we have given the Filipinos and the independence which the best of them do mot want and know they are unable to main- tain. To abandon them now, to cast them adrify at the mercy of accident, would be an | ot of cowardice and treachery which would | galn us the scorn and reproach of civilization. ] PATRIOTIC DEMOCRATS. Our opponents sometimes say we have no right to claim the credit of the great deeds of the last hal? ceatury—that we could not have sccomplished them without the aid of Demo- crats. Nothing 4ruer was ever sald; and it is one of the chief glories of our annals and it forms the eurest foundation of our hopes for | the future. The principles upon’ which our party is built are so sound, they have so irre- | sistible an attraction to patriotic and falr minded men, that whenever a time of crisis comes when the naticnal welfare is clearly at stake, when vo'ers must decide whether they shall foliow their prejudices or their con- sciences, we draw from other parties their best men by thousands. Bright among the brightest of those who ded our party shine the names of Demo- crats. and when the war came on. the picked 1! | men of that party rallied to the colors. | las, shortly before he died, declared his unfal- tering sypport of Lincoln. The sun would go Sown belore T could bame the Democrats who ght like heroes for the country. Grant, rman, Sheridan, Dix Sickles, Logan—in an innumerable host, Democrats all, into the field and thereafter fought and worked with the Republicans while life lasted. And that vast majority of Lincoln's in 1884 2 have becn impossible had not myriads | of Democrats, casting their life-long associa- tions to the win listened to the inward monitor which “hoose ye this day whem ye will serve.” As it was then, so it has been in after years. When the attempt was made to repudiate, in whole or in part, the national debt; or to abolish the system of protection to American industries, founded by Washington and Hamiiton and approved by the expericnce of a hundred years; or to de- grade our currency at the demand oOf mere ig- norance and greed—in all thess cases we saw the proof of the homely adage that you may lead @ horse to the water but may not make drink. In spite of organizations and plat- n spite of the frantic adjurations of gifted orators, hosts of patriotic Democrats walked quietly to the polls and voted as their consciences dictated, in the Interests of the public welfare rather than of a party. GOOD MEN IN ALL PARTIES. Even in so0 lefty and restricted an arena as our Senate we have seen the ablest and most adroit organizer of his party fail in the most energetic effort of his life to induce his party to reject great national benefit because it was offered by Republican hands. Half the Democratic Senators said this was no question for pertifogging politics and voted for an American canal across the isthmus. We are not claimipg that we monopolize ’\h‘ virtue or the patriotism of the country. There are good men in all parties. I know far better men than 1 am who are Democrats. But we are surely allowed, in a love feast like this. to talk of what has been done in the brag little of the Democrats who have helped us. We get their votes for one Teason only—because we started right and in the main have kept right. We invite accessions from the ranks of our Patri- otic opponents and we shall get them in the future, as we have in the past, Whenever wi deserve them. We shall get them this year, because this year we do desrrve them. We come before the country in a position which cannot be successfully attacked in front, or flank, or rear. What we have done, what we are doing and what we intend to do—on all three we confidently challenge the verdict of the American people. The record of fifty years will show whether as & party we are fit to govern; the state of odr domestic and for- | eign affairs will show whether as a party we have fallen off; amd both t wili show whether we can be trusted for a while longer. Gur platiorm is before the country. Perhaps it is lacking in noveity. There is certainly nothing sensational about it. It is substan- tial the platform on which we won two great Vietories in the name of McKinley, and it is etill sound and serviceable. Its principles have been tested by eight vears of splendid success and have recelved the approval of the | country. It is in line with all our platforms of the past, except where prophecy and promise in those days have become history in these. We stand by the ancient ways which have proved good. , ILLOGICAL ADVERSARIES. It would take a wizard to guess what a dainty dish our adversaries will set before the | sovereign people to-morfow. Thelr State conven- | tions have given them a rich variety to choose from. As to money, they range all the way from Bedlam to Belmont; as to tariff, the one wing in Maryland is almost eane, the other wants raving free grade and dynamite for the custom-houses. Whe they discuss our island possessions, some want to scuttle away and abandon them out of hand; other agree | with that sensible Southerner who sald: “What's the use of talking ebout expansion? Great Scott! we've doue expanded!”’ One thing is reasonably sure: They will get as near to | our platform s they possibly can, and they Will by implication approve everything Mo- Kinley and Roosevelt have done in the last four years. They will favor sound finance and 2ianft which will Dot lsturb business; rigid honesty in administration and prompt punish- ment of the dishonest: the -nd an isthmian canal. To be logical they ught 1o go on and vominate the Hepublican Candigates; who are pledged to all these laud- able policies. But they will not be logical. They do mot care to oppose our policy; they merely deny our sincerity in avowing it. They cannot deny the ness of our principles; they pretend themselves to hold them. But the function of an opposition is to oppose, and as they are otherwise destitute of an issue they | seek to make & few by attributing to us princi. | ples we have never of holding and | policies which are A e SR trusting the effect of these maneuvers in ad- vance, they announce their plan of campdfign to be mot pro-anything, but uu-WelL This 1s & mere counsel of desperation, and the Republicans will gladly accept the issue. Even on this ow issue they will dodge most of the detalls. Ask them, Has the Pres- ident been & good citizen, & good soldler, a | €004 man in all personal relations? 1Is he a man of intelligence, of education? Does he | know his country well?

But wha THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JULY KNIGHT WANTS GOLDEN JUBILEE |VOTERS SLOW 'PARTY HISTORY ELOQUENTLY - (5 11904, 10 WEAR TOGA| OF REPUBLICANS Prominent Attnmey Will Enter Contest to Secure High Office of Senator MUCH SUPPORT PLEDGED Anti-Bard Men Urging Can- didacy Because Oxnard Is Thought to Lack Strength The contest for United States Senator to succeed Thomas R. Bard is to be enlivened by the introduction of a new candidate in the person of George A. Knight of San Francisco. It is com- mon gossip in political State Senators W. C. Ralston of Cala- veras and Frank W, Leavitt of Ala- meda are ready to give Knight their |earnest support. It is expected that Thomas H. Selvage of Humboldt, who is slated for another term in the upper house of the State Legislature, will join the Knight forces. Reports are coming from the south to the effect that Bard Is making con- siderable progress as a candidate for re-election. The belief is entertained | by several of the northern statesmen that Oxnard cannot cope with Bard, hence the agitation in favor of Knight. ‘When the suggestionl of entering the | contest was presented to Knight he remarked that he would not allow his name to go before the Legislature if { his candidacy was not entirely accept- able to the senior United States Sen- ator, George C. Perkins. It was pos- itively stated yesterday by a State Senator from the interior that Perkins would not interpose the slightest ob- stacle to Knight’s candidacy. Such a date. He ls prompt and eneretic, takes infinite paing to et at the facts before he acts. In all the crises iu which he has been accused of undue haste, his action has been the result of lonz meditation and well-re conviction. If he thinks rapidly, fault; he thinks thoroughly, and’ that essential. When he- made peace between the miners and operators, it was no sudden caprice but the fruit of serious reflection, act of mingled philanthropy and common sense was justified by a great practical resuit. When Le proclaimed anew the Moproe doctrine in the Venezuela case his action was followed by the most explicit acceptance of that saving policy which has ever come to us from over- seas. He acted very swittly, it is true, In Mississippi, when the best citizens of & town threatened the life of a postmistress for no fault but her color. He simply sald. ‘‘Very well, gentlemen: you may get your letters somewhere else for a while.”" MERGER SUITS. And as to the merger suits, now that have come to their senses they see that hi ple ac- circles that | ‘ | { | i | | | PO ARSI SR A 1 Continued From Page 11, Column 7. with remarks complimentary to the ladies and naturally got a big volley of applause at the outset. He referred to Old Dolly Adams, who, at an after- noon tea party with patriotic dames, resolved that they would wear home- spuns and that they would make them themselves. This was a cue for the Republican party. It showed them that the women of the country were with them, and that was a big indorsement of the issues at stake. SIS RECEIVES GRAND OVATION. Knight Speaks as Citizen of California for Good of State. George A. Knight, as he stepped up to the rostrum, was received with a thunderous ovation. He said in par “’Mid pleasures and palaces though Wwe may roam, Be it ever so humble, there is no place | like home. “I speak to you not as a representa- tive of the Republican party, but as a citizen of California; a citizen who | speaks in behalf of the best interests | !and for the greatest welfare of this State.

The President had made a | treaty with Colombia at her own soliciation, which was infinitely to her advantage, the benefit of the world. He walted with end- less patience while Bogota delayed and trified | with the matter, and finally rejected it, and suggested new negotiations for a larger sum. Panama, outraged by this climax of the wrongs she had already suffered, declared and estab- lished her independence.

SAN BERNARDINO, July 6.—There was a pitched battle at Needles to-day between ten strikers and nine strike breakers.
