Vallejo Chronicle: If California Re-
publicans want Mckinley for President
the thing to do is to elect Mckinley men
as delegates. 1t will not then be neces-
sary to pledge the delegates who are
sent to the National Convention. Ihat
is the best politics.
TICKLE.
Caliistogan: 1t is to be observed that
the alleged determination to beat Nc
kinley' exists only in the Democratic
mind, and the Democratic mind is q
tickle, feeble thing. few weeks ago
nothing but the candidacy OF the ONO
man would please that same mind
Democracy would seem to be dl1flcult
to please-in the light of which 1t is as
well that this year it is not for De-
mocracy to choose.
ANNA SHAW'S UNAMERICANISM.
Fresno Expositor: I'VE started out
in America with monarchy. We don
want that now. If we did, everyone OF
us would be bowling at the name OF
Queen Victoria. But 1 stand here to
say that she would be much better for
US than the man we've got in this coun-
try now
The above extract is from the address
of Miss Anna Shaw, delivered t, a
packed house Wednesday evening a.
Armory Hall in this city.
When it is remembered that the re-
nowned and eminent speaker is lady
of English birth, it is not to be Won
dered at that she exhibits such de-
gree of partiality for British royalty
as is manifest in the foregoing utter
ance, for it is said, and we dare say it
is true, that 'once an Englishman, al
ways an Englishman." Once an Eng
Hshwoman, always an EngliShwonan.
Miss Shaw commenced her address by
deploring the fact that in this country
all women are in condition of bond
age; that they are not free, ct cetera
Were anything lacking to disprove this
statement, it is to be found in the fart
that an English-bo woman is priv
ileged thus to assail the Chief Exec
utive of this republic without incurring
the risk of being hooted from the plat
form. Nothing but the proverbial gal
lantry Of Americans saved her such
rebuke so justly merited.
GOOD STREETS.
Oakland Echoes: Macadam makes
dusty, dirty streets in summer, and
entirely in a few years.
Bituminous rock was the favorite for
awhile, but is has received a very black
eye, either from the poor material used,
or bad laying, and the people are look
ing for a material that will be lasting,
unaffected by heat or cold, hard, smooth,
durable and reasonable.
The cities of Paris and Washington
heA ait
The material used is asphaltum, and it
is not equaled for paving by anything
yet discovered.
MKINLEY
Marysville Democrat; While we do
not favor ironclad instructions at any
time, it does seem to be due to the men
who do the voting to give voice to their
choice in convention. The rank and file
of the party undoubtedly expect the del
egates to the State Convention to adopt
resolutions to the effect that the Repub-
licans Of Ohio admire the gallant man
of Ohio. and favor him as their first
choice for President. We agree with
Ex-Governor Markham that the ques-
tion Of silver coinage Is a matter that
can safely be intrusted to a Republican
Congress, and that it should not be
thrust into the convention where only
a President and Vice President are to be
chosen. Let this matter be settled in
the local conventions when nominating
Congressman, as that is the only place
where it properly belongs The people
expect the tariff to be the living, leading
issue in the campaign and they want
Mckinley because they believe he more
clearly represents that principle
