The San Francisco call., 1896-06-21


WILLIAM MCKINLEY, of Ohio
FOR VICE-PRESIDENT-
GARRETT 4. HOBART, Of New Jersey
ELECTION NOVEMBER 3, 1896.
==-------------
Politics lulis a little.
Everybody is counting on prosperity.
Rest while you can, the campaign is
coming.
Joining Republican clubs has become
the popular fad.
Any old stump Will do as summer re-
sort for the spell binders.
If the Democrats are wise they will
nominate Teller and drop their free-trade
foolishness.
We all know who is to become the next
President of the United States and we are
all satisfied.
HDemocracy can easily overthrow Cleve-
land, but it will have hard time freeing
itself from his bonds.
Patriotism, protection and prosperity is
tune which silver and gold Republicans
can sing in harmony.
Santa Cruz has added new glory to the
fame of Venetian festivals and has a right
to be proud of herself.
OF the senior class of Yale this year 160
are Republicans and only tifty-three Demo-
Gratis. So goes the country.
Have THE CALL sent to you at your sum-
mer home and you will know what is
going on at all the summer resorts.
II you wish all the news of all parties
fairly and impartially reported during the
campaign, you must take THE CALL.
To Boies ard to Bland the silver voice of
Teller in his grandstand play sounded
strangely like the screech of a buzzsaw.
Nobody wishes Chicago to hold con-
vention, but it seems there must always
be something to run against the popular
will.
The ratification meetings were like the
opening of champagne in the way they
sparkled and overfowed in exuberant en-
thusiasm.
There will be an exultant outburst OF
patriotism on the Fourth of July. The
hearts of the people are swelling with rap
turous Americanism this year.
Between now and election day there will
be plenty of time for the silver States to
get back into the Republican ranks and
swell the strong chorus OF protection and
prosperity.
From the appearance of the organized
clubs at the ratification meeting, it is evil
dent the Republicans of this City are al
ready prepared for the campaign and eager
for the fray.
The Eastern>goldbug who said the Gov
eminent OF this country Will never be run
as a Wild West show will please take no.
tice that after this administration is over
it will also never be run as q New York
bunko game.
The thing which Boies has launched
may not be exactly a boom, but it is so
much like one that all other Democratic
Presidential aspirants are trying to pune
ture it with a crowbar.
1t is reported that a group picture has
just been taken of Cleveland and his Cabi-
net, but how the artist ever succeeded in
getting anything more than a negative out
of the gang is not explained.
The Republican party and its candidates
are pledged to promote international BIZ
metallism, and in that pledge the people
will trust far more than in all the wild
promises of Democrats and Populists.
Mckinley has ever been an earnest
champion of womanhood, and, as conse-
quence, his personal popularity is felt not
in politics only, but in every American
home where true woman lives to honor
true manhood.
The great mistake committed by the
people of this country was in not refer
ring the money question to the universe
ties during the commencement season and
getting it settled by the graduates before
the campaign began.
There has been discovered colored poll
tician in the South who has figured out
that the talk about 16 to l on the money
question means SIC for the white man and
81 for the brother in black. He is against
the proposition and wants the existing
standard.
In the West there are only four political
parties in the country, but in the East in
addition to Republicans, Democrats, Pop
ulists and Prohibitionists theres Social
ist party, which is to hold National Con-
vention in New York on the Fourth of
July. 1t is but a small party, but in
closely contested election it may count in
the game.
