The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1891-09-10

OF the duty of recalling the partial power
conferred upon that party, which has been
on the wrong side ever since the days W hen
it championed the extension of human
slavery into the free territory OF the North
west.-At the last election, however, it again
obtained q majority of the Lower House of
Congress. This was accomplished by
campaign of colossal lying and deception.
He pointed with pride to the pure, saga
ci0uS and conservative administration of
President Harrison; to the growing COM
merce of the country under reciprocity with
our American neighbors, induced by the
matchess foresight of Blaine, and to the
navy, already ranking with those of the
other great maritime powers Of the world.
The speaker reviewed the tariff question at
great length, and spoke of the Mckinley
bill. Upon the subject of silver, he said:
pplaud the courageous utterances OF Presi-
dent Harrison in his recent speech at
Albany"
CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION.
This is to be a campaign of education and
not of deception. The Republican party
never fears the investigation of its
principles or its practices. The Democratic
party. like lizard, changes cOlOrs according
to its environs. at the South it stands for
prohibition; in the North for free rum :;
on the Pacific Coast and mountains 1t de-
mands the free coinage of silver; in the
Ohio convention it adopted the lree-cOina ge
plank by bare majority and placed hard
money man upon it; and at the East it de-
mands gold and silver coinage on an equal
basis.
GOVERNOR HILL SCORED.
"We sOrrowfully behold the Governor OF
this great State as he stands, like modern
Colossus, one foot In the Executive Cham
Der at Albany and the other in the Senate
Chamber at Washington, his hands grasp
ing the lever of the Democratic machine,
which he controls by filling public offices
with his subservlent tools, bis eyes greedily
fixed on the Presidential chair. in which he
will never sit; pandering to the liquor in-
terest; playing with the question of honest
money; cheating the laborng man by de-
feating for years the Australian ballot sys-
TEN; obstructing the entire legislation of
the State to prevent an investigation of his
partisan water rats in the canal and rising
to no higher level than a ward politician.
Verify the coming contest is that of HiliSm
grated on to Tammauyism against the
political conscience of the voters of this
commonwealth. and on such an issue we
shall suffer no defeat"
The usual committees were appointed
and recess taken until this afternoon.
THE AFTERNOON SESSION.
When the convention reassembled this
afternoon a permanent organization was ef-
fected, with James NJ. Varnum as Chair
man. He delivered an address Of great
length, the telling points of which were en-
Enthusiastically received. He eulogiZed reci-
procity and the doings of the Republican
party during its existence; spoke highly of
the tariff, and in regard TO finance said he
was confident the convention would not
hefitate to proclaim In the clearest and
most emphatic terms its adherence to the
principles of honest money. so ably and
well expressed by President Harrison. He
trusted, too, that the convention would not
hesitate to place itself on record in favor of
practical and intelligent amendment 10 the
Ballot Reform Bill, so thoroughly emascu-
lated and shorn of its good uses through the
Vaccinations Of David b. Hill; in favor of
some more Intelligent and rational regula-
tion of the tariff and OF the protection of thu
Civil Service Reform laws.
Varnum paid his respects to the great
Democratic octopus, Tammany Hall, which
now holds the city of New York In its
grasp and is preparing to extend Its ten
tacles over the entire State. There was no
room for doubt as TO the relative volume OF
the applause when Varnum referred to the
reciprocity policy of the dministration as
the work of Benjamin Harrison and espe-
cially Secretary Blaine. A generous out
burst greeted Harrison's name. while a
tumult arose when Blaine's name was men,
toned. A cannon. just outside the hall was
fired at the moment TO swell the clamOr.
