ELECTION NOVEMBER 3. 1896.
AT last all the tickets are in the field and
still Tom Watson hasn't found his place.
The Indianapolis convention succeeded
in finding two generals to lead the way,
but where are the rank and file?
Bryan talks so much that his title ''the
boy orator" has been changed to that of
"wearisome Willie" and the end is not
yet
Bryan has not yet completely upset the
Democratic band wagon, but he has
spilled out a great many of the old horn
blowers.
To every home the protection of the
home industry is certainly the chief issue
of politics as long as that industry is
assailed.
Buckner made an unconditional surren-
der to Grant at Fort Donelson, but the
old hero has too much backbone to sur

Palmer and Buckner. would be strong

country will respond to it.
The indianapolis platform will be raft
of refuge for old Democratic politicians
who can't take to the swim and are afraid
OF the tidal wave, but the great mass OF

see Democracy take to the woods and leave
the field to the Populists.
Some conservative Democrats NAV find
satisfaction in voting for tie Indian apolis
ticket, but ii they have good business

Organism but cast a straight vote for
Mckinley and prosperity.
When Ii Hung Chang was asked what
impressed him most at his reception in
New York the interpreter replied: "The
Niceroy says he knows something but
will keep 1t to himself" So it seems we
are not to know what he thought of
Grover.
Ii Hung Chang expressed surprise that
our Government should exclude cheap
labor while admitting cheap goods, and it
must be conceded his surprise was well
founded. It takes q Democratic word
juggler to justify free trade and Chinese
exclusion in the same platform.

The campaign of education has no
better object lesson in the need of protec-
ton to California industry than is afforded
by the exhibit of home products at the
Mechanics Pavilion. Every citizen should
see it and particularly should it be
studied by those who are inclined to free
trade.
On the newly appointed Democratic
National Committee the only persons of
National repute are Senator Jones, Senator
German and Senator Tillman, and it win
be seen from this that the combination is
about as smooth on one side and as rough
on the other as any board that can be
found.
The Grand Army of the Republic is not
a partisan organization and yet in the
grand parade, 10000 strong, at st. Paul on
Wednesday we are told There was fire.
auent cheering for Mckinley by veterans
and spectators all along the line" The
army boys know their old comrade of the
war and are with him to a man.
The issue of the campaign is now made
clear: Conservative Democracy stands
for gold monometallism, Populist Democ-
racy for silver monometaliism, and the
Republican party for bimetallism; SO
every man has an opnortunitv TO vote for
