SACRAMENTO REcoRD-UNIoN, TUESDAY NAY T. 1896

that they do not desire his presence in
the convention.
THE PLACE OF ALL OTHERS.
Napa Register: Next week Sacra-
mento will be the scene of another State
Convention. The Populists will meet
to choose delegates, electors, etc. Right
here is good place to say that Sacra-
mento, since it has become new" can
not be improved upon as the meeting
place OF large assemblies Her Pa
vilion, her Capitol, her improved hotel
accommodations, and, most important
of all, her public-spirted citizens. con-
tribute to make temporary stav in
the Capital City, no matter how large
the crowd, pleasant one.
IMPUDENCE.
Alameda Argus: The impudence of
the Examiner in sending TELEGRAM
to William Mckinley demanding that
he reply to catch-phrase question as
10 his silver views and then seeking 10
make capital out of the fact that its
stand d-deliver conundrum was ig
nored was thoroughly characteristic of
that newspaper. But it cuts no Repub-
lican ice
CALIFORNIA FOR M'KINLEY.
Haywards Journal: The Republican
State Convention showed it's loyalty to
the Republican sentiment of California
by sending a solid delegation to ST
Louis for Major Mckinley for Presi-
dent. They simply voiced the senti-
D1ent of the people, and as California
is near the top of the column it's solid
vote for Mckinley will start the STAN
pede for the invincible champion of
protection from Ohio. No more popu-
lar candidate for standard bearer than
Mckinley could be found
THE CHANGE IN PUBLIC SENTI-
MENT
Los Angeles Express: Every one who
keeps track of public sentiment in this
community must be convinced that if
has changed very decidedly toward the
double harbor appropriations, and that
people are asking to-day why they
should "cut off their noses to spite their
faces or rather to please a few inter-
ested persons who for reasons of their
own would prefer that the whole COM
nIunity should suffer if they cannot be
personally benefited by what Congress
does.
If the friends of Santa Monica were
wise they would procure and circulate
in this community just as many copies
of the report of the hearing before the
Senate Committee on Commerce as DOS
sible, for no impartial person can read
that document without being convinced
that Santa Monica affords the best To-
cation for deep sea harbor
MINING REVIVAL.
Calaveras Prospect: The mining
Boom which is now being felt in this
vicinity is plainly not an imaginary
one, nor does it exist merely on paper.
Hardly a day passes that good hard
ccin is not paid over here in town either.
as a bonus on bond or for an outright
deed for mining property, and the work
of developing is being vigorously
pushed. When men are ready and
willing to put up money for a mine it
means business and not mere talk.
Thousands of dollars have been thus
put up in this district for mining prop
critics within the past month, and
large number of mines have changed
hands.
THE COMING NOMINEE.
Los Gatos News: Mckinley is gain
ing and he seems to be assuredly the
coming nominee of the ST. Louis Con-
vention, and hence the chief execu-
tive, for if signs can be relied upon that
convention will name the successful
man.
A PROTEST.
Pasadena Star: 1t is about time the
San Francisco press got some artists
who can make portraits. Their efforts
are libelous. Pasadena did not send up
there any such crowd Of idiots or hood
lums as their pictures represent.
THE PROPER CONDUCT.
Oakland Enquirer: The Examiner"
following the precedent set by certain
Eastern newspapers, telegraphed to
Mckinley for a statement of his finan-
cial views, and as he did not see fit to
reply, it has since been taunting him as
dodger. This is silly A Presidential
candidate cannot be expected to take
notice of all the newspapers which want
to advertise themselves; common sense.
dignity and ordinary sagacity forbid
such a thing. No Presidential candi-
date ever treated such requests in any
other way than as Mckinley is treat
ing them. When Thomas Jefferson was
running for President he was asked to
define his Views on certain things, and
although the request came in way to
make it much more worthy of atten-
ton than newspaper telegram, he re-
piled simply that the record of his pub
lie life was open, and that his future
should be judged by his past.
A MATTER OF UNITY.
San Diego Union: The outcome of
the Sacramento Convention will have
the effect to unite the Republicans of
California. Lack of harmony, it is
true, has never been a chara cteristic of
the party in this State, but it is especi-
ally desirable owing to the vital i'm
portance of the coming election that
there should be perfect accord among
California Republicans. This result has
been attained by the convention. There
will always be honest differences among
the members of every party. But op-
posing views on matters of policy need
not become dissensions and should not
lie so regarded And now that the Sac
ramento Convention is a thing of the
past, it's outcome indicates that what
ever divergence of opinion there may
have been, there was no dissension and
will be none. In spite of some spirited
passages, the general sentiment was
enc of conciliation.
A BLOCK DEMAND.
Tulare Register: 1t is worthy of note
that lying in the heart OF the Union is
block of States representing nearly
one-half the electoral college that are
almost a unit in demanding the nomi-
nation of the Ohio man. 1t is a force
that cannot be overcome to the we'll be-
ing of the Republican party.
NOT BRIGHT TO ORDER.
