CALLING ON GORMAN.

Divided, demoralized and disgusted, the
mem bers of the Democratic National
Committee would be glad to turn the
whole business of their party over to any
body who could be induced to accept 1t
and the responsibility that goes with it.
Chairman Jones has muddled the business
until he has fuddled the committee. They
are more than willing to quit, and Cor
man, who but short time ago was de-
nounced as traitor to the party, can now
have the whole outfit if he wishes it.
Was ever any political deal more stu
pidly bungled than the attempted CO.
alition of Democrats and Populists
Going to st. Louis as chairman of the
Democratic National Committee to ar
range by bargain with Bryanized Popu-
lists for an Endorsement of the Chicago
ticket by the Populist convention, the
whole thing was fumbled into snarl that
nobody understands and no one seems
able to untangle. What of Sewall? What
of Watson? What of straight Demo
Gratis? What of midde-of- the-road Popu-
lists? Here is a four-horse team, one
down on his knees. one with two legs over
the traces, one rearing UP in front and the
other kicking up behind.
It is not strange there is call for Cor
man. There will be even call for Cleve-
land before long. Sewall comes up claim
ing his honors, aud behind him is Tom
Watson shaking an angry fist. Populists
from all parts of the country are demand
ing of the bewildered committee what
are you going to do about it?" Jones
cannot answer. Can Gorman2 That

ably find some hole through which he can

Committee through? Can he get Sewall
and Watson through or will he be forced

The San Francisco call., 1896-08-13
THE PEOPLE, M'KINLEY, BRYAN,

Thirty thousand stalwart supporters of
Major McKin ley attended the Republican n
State Convention at Topeka, Kans., last
Thursday, and there was enthusiasm
enough to make the Bryanites wonder
what they are on earth for. After the
convention got down to work it was quick
TO declare that Bryan's kind of bimetal-
Iism m cans silver monometalllsm, debased
currency and the destruction of the Ma
tional credit, and that the kind promised
by Major Mckinley is the only kind that
would give the country a circulating
money medium of equal debt paying
and purchasing power.
The Popocrats have been boas+ing that
the Republican party in Kansa, was COM
pIetely demoralized and that Bryan would
have an easy walk-over, but 1t would seem
that there are few Republicans left in
that State. Instead of being demoralized
or lukewarm. there never was as large an
attendance of partisans upon State Con-
Yention in the history of any political
party as gathered at Topeka to open the
Republican campaign in Kansas for pro-
lection and prosperity. But what is even
more significant is the perfect harmony
that prevails throughout the rank and file
of the Republican party in PETERS State.
No doubt it is all very annoying to Mrs.
Lease and company, but she should know
Kansans well enough to know that when
it comes to degrading or elevating the
country's standard of honesty, they would
be found on the side of right and justice.
In this connection it is well to call at
~
the kind of enthusiasm exhibited by
crowds that call upon Mr.. Mckinley and
crowds that turn out to see Bryan and his
travelling show. Those who call upon Mr..
Mckinley are thoughtful workingmen
and managers of great and small business
enterprises. They address Mr.. Mckinley
as they would one to whom they looked
to guide them away from hreatenipg g
danger, and Mr.. Mckinley replies in
words of wisdom. There is enthusiasm in
plenty, but OF the deep, earnest and sim
cere kind.
The crowds rush to Bryan, too, but it is
to satisfy curiosity and to be amused, and
they go away satisfied with one demon
stration. They hear Mr.. Bryan talk flip
PANTY about grave questions, and they
see him parade himself as boy with his
first pair of red-top boots would. Bryan
pleases the people for the moment, but
when the show is over there is an end of
enthusiasm. When Mr.. Mckinley talks
the people go to their homes to think
The one fills the people with rhetorical
rubbish and the other stirs their patriotism
and impresses them with their response
bility as sovereigns of the greatest nation
in the world. When they leave Mr.. Nc
Kinley they think of patriotism and pros
perity, and when they leave Mr.. Bryan
they wonder what he is trying to do with
the country. Thirty thousand true-blue
Republicans IN State convention in Kan
sas tells the story of the whole country.
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-13

some of the strongest silver men in the shops
have Joined the Mckinley Club. There's q
barber in town who has been one OF the
leading spirits of the silver faction. asked
him the other day what he was making such
fool of himself about. and how free silver
would benefit him, and he said, why, with
free silver, instead OF getting 10 cents Tor
shave Pll get 25 cents But l said. 'ac-
cording to your theory of more money do you
believe that you will actually make more tnat
your shop rent will remain at its present
figure, that your living and home expenses
will not advance proportionately, and are you
sure that your increased income Will
even keep pace with the advanced
prices you will have to payT We'll,
he replied, 4 never thought of that. You see,
am new at this silver question, but I'm glad
you brought up that point Why, when
Bryan was in Moline the other day." con-
tinued Mr.. webber, ''the telegraphic dispatch
said there was great crowd present to hear
him speak at the station. Twas there. Perhaps
there were 400 persons gathered about the end
of the car. How big q crowd do you suppose
would turn out TO welcome Mckinley? Why
that whole town would get there if it could"

the food supply centers of Europe. In
order to establish such trade relations, the
Mississippi Valley country would make it
impossible for industrial plants of any
kind to exist so that its European Gus
toners for its breadstuffs and provisions
would find no competition for the product
OF their industries. That is to say, the
purpose of the Chicago platform is to es-
tablish reciprocal trade relations between
the Mississippi Valley and the industrial
centers OF Europe on the basis of free i'm
ports OF foreign goods and wares in
America and free imports of grain and
provisions in foreign countries.
While there is no likelib ood of the con-
summation of such sectional scheme the
fact that great political party would ad-
vocate such proposition should be alarm
ing enough to awaken the people OF Cali
fornia to an appreciation of the selfish
purposes of the Bryans and the Altgelds
of the country. The interests of Califor-
MIA are as Numerically opposed to free
tree as are the interests of Pennsylvania
or New England. True, the agricultural
possibilities of California are very great,
but the fact remains that the growth OF the
State must necessarily be on manufacture
ing lines. Scarcely an industry could be
mentioned that would not flourish here
under reasonable protection, and were
mills and factories to be established wher-
ever the raw material was easily obtained
the population of the State would so in
crease that the agricultural districts would
find plenty of buyers for their produce
right at home. 1t would be well for Cali
fornla to make careful study of the Chi
cago platform. There is much indicated
between the lines that does not appear at
the first glance.
