the enmity of the candidates they are not sup
porting, and when they finally see their man
cannot get in, and compelled to go into
another camp they do so with a feeling that
they are OF very little consequence, and are
usually treated accordingly
We have good, honest, upright men in the
Republican party in this State, who can be in
trusted to work for our interests. They are
personally interested in the welfare of the
State, and are familiar with all the principles
which are essential to the prosperity of the
country and to California. We don't want to
select these men and then tell them that we
cannot trust them or rely upon them to do
what is right, but we must lay out a pro-
gramme which they must follow regardless of
consequences. The press of this State has
spoken for an unpIedged delegation, and
when the press makes a fight for anything
they usually get it, SO we believe we are abso-
lutely safe in predicting that California's dele
cation will go to st. Louis free to do as they in
their judgment believe is for the best interest

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

In his letter to Irving w. How bert,
chairman of the Republican State Com
mittee of Colorado, Senator Wolcott lays
down a rule of conduct that seems ad-
mirably to meet the difficulties presented
by divergence of views on the silver
question. Although written as a sugges-
tion to the Repu ublicans of Colorado, who
are unanimous for free silver, it applies
equally well to all other silver Republi-
cans. He says:
When the Republican State Convention
meets on May IA ii may decline to be repre-
sented at ST. Louis or it may select delegates
II the latter, the duty of the delegation, in
my opinion, VIII be 10 attend the convention
make the best fight possible for bimetallism
in the committee on resolutions and on the
floor OF the convention, if there shall be an
opportunity for discussion before the whole
convention, and after having insisted by every
proper method upon the duty of the con.
vention 10 declare in favor of the restoration
OF silver as measure OF value equally with
gold, to accept the will of the majority of the
convention and endeavor to secure the nomi-
nation of the candidate most friendly TO West
ern interests.
There is no sacrifice would not make to Sc.
cure the reconciliation of silver both because
us until bimetallism at the former ratio is re-
established and because the approaching
value OF gold and the shrinkage OF the values
which necessarily follow this appreciation
must bring only disaster and poverty and
suffering to all the people of this country who
are not lenders OF money. To secure the un-
limited coinage of silver, would count party
ties as nothing. At this moment, however the
situation which confronts US is this: Both of
the two great parties are apparently opposed
to free coinage by the United States. The
Populist party favors free coinage, but only as
means TO secure more currency and as
stepping-stone to unlimited paper money, and
1t unites with its free coinage advocacy social
istic and paternalistic doctrines which are
dangerous in tendency and which would be, if
adopted, destructive of free institutions.
This exhibits a true party spirit and
means that the comprehensive aims of the
Republican party are too great and of too
vital interest to the welfare of the country
to be destroyed by factionaI dissension.
At the same time, astute as Senator VOL
cott is known to be, there is chance of
error on his part when he assumes that
'the two great parties are apparently op-
posed to free coinage by the United
States" In any event it is the duty Of
free-silver Republicans to make as hard
and persistent fight as is POSSIBLE with
out disrupting the party, trusting to time
and to the pressure of their influence
within the ranks of the party to win
peaceful victory in the end.

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

one OF the best known men OF the Northwest
IS ex-Mayor j. It. Ronald of Seattle, who ar
rived here yesterday and is at the Grand.
Ex-Mayor Ronald is a Democrat OF pro-
nounced type. He is also a lawyer. The gen.
tleman came from Missouri in 1875 and settled
at Lincoln, near Sacramento. In 1882, i'm
pelled by the boom in Washington growing
out OF the building OF the Northern Pacific
road, he moved TO Seattle, then as now the

HEARTILY INDORSED.
Iakennrf. Bee

THE CALL is agitating the sending of an un-
pledged delegation to the Republican Nation
al Convention at st. Louis. 1t claims that it
would have more weight and might possibly
dictate who would be the standard bearer
that is, If the contest is close, and they have
the balance of power. They would then be in
position TO make terms and could at least get
Cabinet office for this State. Heretofore
this coast has been ignored at Washington all
because we had 10 pull with the powers that
be. 1t would not necessarily interfere with
any candidates chances for nomination. We
heartily indorse the proposition and hope the
California delegation will be uninstructed.
