The CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.

The CALL SPEAKS FOX ALL.
Now for the convention.
Things begin to move to-day.
They now call him Hanna the Great.
There will be no prolonged agony at St.
Louis.
You will get all the news from all sides
in THE CALL.
We might as we'll be getting Mckinley
banners ready for the ratification meet
ings.
Whether ii be Gould or not Gould it will
be a very small potato for party to fight
over.
The Sacramento convention would con-
fer favor on its party if it would name
favorite.
1t is now agreed on all sides that Mark
Hanna is man who knows how to attend
TO business.
When Republican prosperity comes the
Democrats will get their share OF 1t, so
they needn't kick.
We shall get from st. Louis the harmony
of thought and from Sacramento the
sound of chin music.
Budd may possibly squeeze out an in
dorsement from the convention, but Cleye-
land has lost his cinch.
The Buckleyites at Sacramento will stick
to straight liquor, but the Daggett men
viii call for mint iuleps.
1t is hard to tell what Daggett thinks he
is doing and still harder 10 tell what he
thinks he is doing it for.
The only thing in which ST. Louis ana
Sacramento will resemble each other will
be the heat of the weather
The Democrats concede their party is in
hole, but they seem to think they can
get it out by fighting it out.
Sacramento may call her show con-
vention out of politeness, but she is look
ing forward to q circus time.
Platt is no quitter. He will quit neither
the fight for Morton nor the fight for pro-
lection if Morton is defeated.
No matter how few or how many ballots
may be taken at st. LOUIS the nomination
will be made by acclamation in the end.
The only thing on which any two Demo-
Gratis can agree at this juncture is some-
thing that can be opened with corkscrew.
There is no longer any talk of a strad-
die at st. Louis, but it is agreed the
money plank shall be automatically ex-
pressed
The Yice-Presidency is the only thing
left to interest the betting men and the fel-
lows who like TO talk about what they
don't know.
The Russians may be pretty good at
coronation festivals, but we would like to
see them try to hold a convention to
nominate Czar.
The Federal brigade at the Democratic
convention will be recognized by the
newly minted coin they will fash up when
they cross the bar.
Now is the time for Republicans to lay
aside all their differences and dissensions.
1t must be made campaign of harmony
from the beginning.
It looks as if California Democrats
would have so much fighting during the
convention they will not feel like making
any during the campaign.
The sublime and the ridiculous of
American party politics can be seen in the
contrast between the convention at st.
Louis and that at Sacramento.
1t seems the support of the favorites
was intended not so much as an opposi-
ton to Mckinley as a compliment TO the
other fellows and their friends.
As soon as the Republican convention
has named its candidate for the Presi-
dency, Grover Cleveland will cease TO be
the biggest man in this country.
Patriotism, protection and prosperity
are already household words and with the
return to power of the Republican party
they will soon be household facts.
<--
II Senator Teller is wise he will stay in
the camp. The only way to restore silver
to the position of a money metal is
through the medium of the Republican
party.
The Democrats at Sacramento might as
well give White boom for the Presidency.
Ii won't hurt anything and will have the
advantage of enabling all factions to make
a showing as white men.
Our reports of the deliberations at st.
Louis and of the fracas at Sacramento
will be full. fair, impartial, accurate and
thoroughly comprehensive of every feature
of the proceedings of both events.
