The San Francisco call., 1896-10-16


yerites,
The fight against Bryan is virtually
over, and now we must push the fight
against Bryanite Congressman with vim
and vigor
One Palmer and Buckner man has
spoken up with an estimate of the vote in
November. He declares his ticket will
carry Alabama.
Whenever Bryan talks of sweeping the
big corporations from this country you
may be sure he always puts the silver
trust on mental reservation.
The National Democrats are developing
an unexpected strengtl in the South, and
it seems now that Bryan cannot claim
sure thing in any State in the Union.
As Robert Ingersoll and Robert Lincoln
are to follow Bryans trail through Min
nesota the boy orator has double reason
for rejoicing that he is out of the State.
With such a muscular mass of tongue
and jaw Bryan, If he had avoided politics,
would have had a chance to make himself
the greatest professional pugilist of the
age.
Making pledge to a convention and
then modifying it afterward to suit the
bosses is the latest trick in politics, and it
is scarcely necessary to say it is Demo
cratic invention.
The revenue of the Nation must be
made equal to the expenditures, and that
is one reason why the people will vote
against the fasco party that enacted a
National deficit.
If the Republican party should be
divided on election day the success of
either Buckley or Rainey would be assured
and municipal reform would be retarded
for long time to come.
The more Bryan talks about the strife
of classes and the war of the poor against
the rich the more the people are per-
suaded that the chief issue before the
country is to shut him up.
The trade which gives Gator the senate
ship and Buckley the municipal govern
ment may suit some Democrats and some
Populists but it will never suit any who
Al pdIty VI ROOQ SOV6In-
ment.
Tom Reeds visit to California will be
more like q triumpha tour than stump
speaking trip. Men of all parties will
unite in doing honor to the great Speaker
who taught the House of presentatives
how to stop wrangnng and do business.
There are increasing evidences that the
Silverltes will make every effort to control
the next Senate so as to block the possi-
bility of restoring the protective tariff
That scheme must be stopped, and Cali
iornia must make certain the election of
Republican to the Senate by erecting
Republican Legislature.
If there are to be Nom Partisan legis-
lators there ought to be Non-Partisan
candidate for the United States Senate
who would pledge himself to dodge the
tariff, straddle the money question, COM
promise on the funding bill and do noth-
ing decidedly except draw his salary. Per-
haps Mr.. Gator would fill the bill.
According to political experts the hard
est fight of the year will be for the control
OF the Senate. Neither party will have
much of majority in that body and every
vote will count. Californians cannot af-
ford to take any risks on that issue. We
must elect Republican to the Senate if
we expect protection to our industries.
The Septemb Der circular of Justice, Bate
man & Co. says: 'It is not strange that
the wool sales during the past month
have been the dul1est on record when it
is remembered that IS per cent of the wool
manufacturing machinery of the United
States either is entirely idle or is running
en- short time" Ii was not that way
VIXEN the Mckinley tariff was in force
and the wool industry was protected.
The visit OF nearly $40 members of the
Early Settlers Society of Cuyahoga
County, Ohio, to Major Mckinley is one
of the notable political events of the week,
as it shows the interest which the old men
of the country are taking in the cam paign
for National prosperity. These veterans
in life remember the great contest of 1860,
and now, as then, they see that the saliva
ton of the Republic depends on the sue
cess of the Republican party.
