IAN francisco, Dec. IL, l696.-To
,bs b,metaIIsts Of the United Statei:
The contest OF 1896, which for some
months has engaged public attention,
vas determined at the ballot box upon
,bs third ult. for the Republican cin-
didate.
While the supporters OF Mr.. Bryan
and the great principles which he
,,poused have no reason to regret the
,sor, made In his behalf and which he
viii renew when occasion requires, II
IA only the part OF wisdom to accept
with The utmost good faith the decl.
Zion of the American people upon this
or any other question submitted 10
tbeir deliberate Judgment, which lie
always sure In the END ito be correctly
dscIed by that tribunal.
The struggle was one Of great inn
mort to the material Interest OF the con.
lending parties. II was from the very
outset one OF marked inequality III

We'll be considered, as 1t has many
times been Justly denominatsd, a con-
lest OF might against right, OF the COM
bined in fllence of wealth against the
UNPROTECTED interests Of the common
people, and the reault OF the issue,
considering the inequality Of condi-
tons, was Aucn us ~ chEllence
The admiration OF every patriotic citi-
zen.
The csuse OF bimetalism, which was
the wstcnword Of the anti.Republican
fofces, hiss not been abandoned by its
friends and advocates, nor are we dis.
hesrtened or dismayed by this tenn.
porsry defeat. We are as firmly con-
WINGED now OF lis ultimate triumph In
the United Slater as that the American
flag 10 the emblem OF constitutional
liberty, and while Inc principle mny
for time be overshadowed by sophts-
Try anu truth obscured by the screen
Of deception or Intrigue, they will
finally rise above the darksneJ horizon
and sssume their rightfui position az
the guiding star OF popular govern
ment.
Our position was met and antngou.
lied by the combined wealth OF two
costinents. 1t was sought to be OBJ
,cufed by feigned issues, opprobrlous
fpiihefs, dishonest methods and pMrti.
TAO zeal. Every intrigue which
wealth could inspire or Ingenuity rug
gssi was brought into requisitiUn. Tho
debtor class was threatened by ils
creditors, the laboring class by iIs EN-.
poyers and the patrons OF savings
banks and insurance companies were
made the victims Of unscrupulous
demsgogues who declared that their

These methods of political warfare

Advantage gained is fleeing ana des-

success secured by misrepresen tation
can have more than q temporary
lodgement In the hearts of q generous
anu right thinking people and the re-
suit OF this election will prove in the
cad more signal victory for those
who went down in apparent defeat
man Tor those who are now flushed
with apparent victory.
The safety OF q government like ours
must depend upon the free and un-
uammeiied exercise of the elective
lianchise, where each Citizen snail
have the right 10 exercise his choice,
Wnnout fear Or favor, according to his
