SATURDAY EVENING, JULY II, 1896.
As MAINE was once hell-bent on Gov.
Kent, why shouldn't she be equally SO
now on q better man-Arthur Sewall?

THE national democratic party, by
more than two-third's majority OF its
highest representative body, has an
nounced its platform and nominated its
capdidates for President and Vice Pres
ident. Its platform declares for an in
creased amount of the existing silver
money, for a tariff that will reduce the
cost of the necessaries of life, for tax
on surplus incomes that will compel
those whose wealth the government
protects to pay a smallashare of the
expenses of that protection, and for
the personal liberty of all citizens, poor
as well as rich. No true democrat can
object to any one of these declarations,
except the former, and to that, the
cause of objection is in great part imagi-
nary. The bolt ofafew gold standard So
called democrats and democratic news
papers, because the overwhelming ma
ioritv of the democratic party refused
to submit to their dictation and threats
and repudiate the cardinal prin-
ciple of democracy, the rule Of the
majority, is without the slightest justi-
fable cause, is desertion in the face OF
the enemy, and deserves the severest
condemnation of all true democrats,
and is appreciated at only it real value
by republicans. Suchpeople never could
have been democrats from conscientious
convictions, for no man with such convic-
tons would renounce all the principles
of his faith and favor high tariff, the
force bill and all the other articles Of
republican belief, simply because his
own party's opinions on the subject of
the currency, which is not a legitimate
political question, do not agree with
his own. True democrats do not hold
10 the higher law" idea, do not think
they are better than their party, nor
that they are Solomons, while all the
rest of their party are fools or rascals.
Their bolt, instead of hurting the dem
ocratic party, will do it good, by ins
ducing men not interested in politics to
support its nominees.

As SOON as Mr.. Bryan was informed
of his nomination he wrote the follow
ing, and sent it off to the press of the
country:
"I'o the american People,
"In order that l may have no am
bition but to discharge faithfully the
duties of the Office, I desire to announce
that if elected President, / shall, under
no circumstances, be candidate for re-
election. W. j. BRYAN"
This dispatch will tend greatly to in
crease his majority. If Mr.. Cleveland
had written similar dispatch after his
third nomination, his party would not
have allowed him to sink into oblivion
without word of regret.

THOUGH THE South-hating republi-
cans all through the North are waving
the bloody shirt, crashing their teeth
and denouncing the "rebels'' for their
alleged control of the Chicago conven-
zion, there are so-called democrats in
the South, precious few of them, how
ever, who say they will now desert the
democratic party and vote the republi-
can ticket, because the republicans are
for gold. For every such democrat
there will be ten Southern men, not at
ali interested in politics, and who 9TH
erwise would probably not so to the
polls, who will vote for Bryan.

IT Is bad enough for Northern demo-
Gratis to desert the Southern men who
have always stood by them and sup
piled them with their only really eff
fective power, in this their hour of
need and join their enemies, who de-
sire to afflict them with all the
evils of the force bill, but when South
ern democrats do SO, words are in
capable of expressing the feelings they
incite.

Ex.Gov. Flower said to-day that he would
remain in Chicago until the convention ended
He thought he would leave for New York TO-
morrow afternoon. Mr.. Flower was asked if
any statement or announcement would be Is

he knew nothing of such an intention.
Minneapolis went wild last night over the
nomination Of VIM J. Bryan. An impromptu
ratification meeting was held in the opeu air,
and over 10000 people listened to speeches
by democrats, republicans, populists and pIo-
hibitionists. A Bryan club was formed, and
in two hours SIS names were enlisted.

THE poPULIsTs, the silverites and
the members of the farmers alliance
will all endorse the democratic Presi-
Dental ticket. They would not do SO
probably except for the bolt OF the few
rich democrats of the North and their
self-interested organs.

TWO BAD PLANKS
He Flatly Refuses to Stump
the State for
Bryan.
REASONS FOR DECLINING
Cannot Indorse the Anarchistic
Platform of the Rump
Democracy.
REPUBLICANS IN SOLID LINE,
The Democratic Party in California
Demora lied "A Tidal Wave
of Home Rule.

AS surely as the tides in the bay ebb
and flow, so surely is the tide of protection
rising all over California, and it will con-
tinue to rise until it reaches its flood on
the Sd of next November.
The Democratic forces are already demor-
allied beyond repair. Every day comes the
news OF some well-known lifelong Demo-
crat breaking away from the party of
anarchy and free trade, and demanding
that the languishing industries of the Pa
ciic Coast be rehaDilitated. The scouts
sent out through the community by the
Democratic leaders have returned with
discouraging reports, to the effect that
citizens generally decline to trust the
aft airs of the country into the hands of
the Democracy for another four years.
The latest gap in the front rank is the
passive detection of ex-Congressman
Thomas j.. Geary of the First District.
Mr.. Geary was requested by the Demo
cratic State Central Committee to stump
the State for Bryan and free trade. and
politely declined. When asked for lis
reasons, he replied that he was neither q
gold Democrat nor silver Democrat, but
Democrat of the old school, and he could
not by public appearance on the stump
during the present campaign lend his
assent to the plank in the Chicago plat
form denouncing the Supreme Court OF
the United States-a plank which had TOO
much OF Jack Cade flavor to be indorsed
by any conservative, law-abiding citizen.
1t taught contempt of the hig est legal
tribunal in the land, the overthrow OF
which would be a fatal blow al the
Liberties of the people.
Mr.. Geary also refused to support the
plank condemning President Cleveland
for calling out the United States troops to
remove the distractions to the forward
ing OF the United States mails.
Mr.. Geary declares himself out of poll
tics during this campaign. He will be a
locker on, and there is a suspicion ahoat
that ne will not weep when Major McKin-
ley shall have been declared duly elected
PRESIDENT of the United States.

DR. BROW Ms SUCCESSOR
Rev. DR.. Adams of st. Louis to
Be Called as Temporary
Supply.
Apparent Unanim ty of Action by
the Divided Membership of the
First Church.

Deacon Morse has at last been check
mated. Those members of the First Con-
gregational Society known during the
Brown trial as the Opposition" have
made their demand that the church build
ing be opened and that demand has been
needed.
Last night the prayer-meeting of the
society was held in the church building.
Mr.. Morse, as senior deacon, presided.
The usual hymns and testimonies were
given, after which the business meeting
convened.
Deacon Morse opened the proceedings
by reading quantity of correspondence
having reference to the supplying of the
First Congregational pulpit. The first let
ter was from Edward Kimball, formerly
memb ber of the First Congregational
Church of this City, but now of st. Louis.
He said he had heard of the present sad
state OF affairs in the church lately under
the pastoral charge of DR.. Charles O.
Brown, and recommended that the Rev.
DIR. Geor.e G. Adams of st. Louis be asked
to supply the pulpit for the time being.
Some other correspondence was read
and at length letter from DIR. Adams was
repeated to the assem- bly,. The reverend
gentleman said his present salary was
pCOoO y cur anu nt WOulQ Expect at least
an equivalent should he come to this City.
seeing that he had occupied the pulpit of
the Com pton Congregational Church in
st. Louis for the past fifteen years at that
salary.
Rev. Mr.. Warren said he had heard Mr..
Adams preach, and regarded him as
most desirable man for the place.
Deacon Barnard agreed with Mr..
Warren. He SAID DR.. Adams had built up
powerful church in st. Louis, and would
be just the man tor the place.
Other speakers followed in the same
strain, after which Mr.. Warren moved
that DR.. Adams be called to supply the
pulpit. The motion being seconded by
Attorney Charles G. Nagle was put to q
vote and carried unanimously.
1t is expected that the Rev. DR.. Adams
will arrive here within fortnight. Mean
while members of the church are anxi-
ously awaiting the action of the Bay Con-
ference at its meeting in December.

business men have had their eyes opened
Ia he GRE at necassitu TOR nrntectinn

business men have had their eyes opened
to the great necessity tor protection.
Italian, French, German, Scandinavian
and Spanish newspapers published in this
City and read by constituency number
ing $4,000, have hoisted the banner of Nc
Kinley and protection and are doing good
work every day with hammer and tongs
for the cause. Already q Germen McKin,
ley club has been organized with an active
subscribing membership of 1900, and nat
uraliZed citizens of the other nationalities,
notably the Spanish and Italian, have
formed themselves voluntarily into clubs
in order to push on the good work.
The latest example of growing strength
is the organization in this City few even
ings ago of club composed almost excl1-
sively of Democrats who have repudiated
Bryan and free trade and who have volun-
tarily pledged themselves to make the
fight for protection to nome products.
They are tired of the competition of Eng
Iish pauper labor.
Ed ward Baker of Los Angeles visited
the rooms of the Republican State Central
Committee Yesterday afternoon and made
a good report of the feeling in that county.
The Democrats were very noisy down
there, but the Republicans were quietly
doing much effective work.
w. w. Scudder OF Petaluma reports that
around the best poultry center in the
State the majority of the farmers, labor
ers and business men are for protection
and will render good account of them
selves on election day.
James ]. Dolan of Coulterville, formerly
g hotbed of free trade and Democracy,
finds an entirely different condition oi
affairs in that vicinity now. The wool
raisers and others have had an object les
son as to the beauties OF the Democratic
system of tariff for revenue only, and
they have been hit so hard in the pocket
by it that they will not soon forget the
experience. The demand for the protec-
tion of home products and home rule for
America regardless of the interests OF
British manufacturers is growing stronger
and more persistent every day.
Hart Downer, editor of the Croc kett
Record, sturdy Repu blican, has a good
word to say about the loyalty of his part
Of the State. Republicanism is all right
in Crockett.
What's the matter with Crockett?
O'Bryan and Sewall can't knockit
Nor can the Democracy stock it:
And that's what's the matter with Crockett

From the same source 1t Is learned
that the new tariff bill will strongly ap-
