The San Francisco call., 1896-10-03

Bear In mind tnat now is the time 10 get
rid of Buckley, Rainey and the whole
gang. Work for Colonel Taylor and make
a clean sweep.
What do good Democrats think of the
combination with Gator? What do good
Populists think OF Gators combination
with Buckley?
Republicans! uphold the State Central
Committee; recognize its authority; ac-
quiesce in its decision, and under one flag
60 forward to victory.
Workingmen of San Francisco, do you
wish any more free trade? Do you wish
to be represented in Congress by men who
will vote Tor free trade?
Mr.. Phelan-Dear sir: Do you know
why Rainey nominated you? Do you
think he intends to use you for anything
more than a decoy duck?
Have the Non-Partisans agreed that
their candidate for Mayor shall connu-
biate with Rainey, or have they over
looked the circumstance?
1t is now in order for Professor Ross to
explain that his famous letter was a gen.
tie university joke all the same as Presi-
dent Jordan's cat picture.
All the sto ries from the East give us
new reasons for rejoicing that we live in
California. We have here neither the
Bryan tour nor the hurricanes.
The fusion leaders may be fooling Gator.
but do not let them fool you. Elect none
but Republican legislators and make sure
of Republican United States Senator.
The announcement that Chauncey De-
pew will answer Bryan raises great expec-
tations of fun to come. The answer will
undoubtedly add to the gayety of nations.
In the present close division of parties
in the United States Senate every vote is
important. California can afford to take
no risks this year with Democratic or
Populist legislators.
Several platforms have given way dur
ing Bryan's tour, and now one has fallen
under Vice President Stevenson. 1t seems
that Democracy cannot find good plat
form anywhere this year.
Does any Republican believe it possible
to elect any Republican ticket in this City
except that headed by Charles L. Taylor2
Does any Republican doubt that Colonel
Taylor can be elected if the party unites in
his support?
A poll made by the Chicago Tribune
through the medium of secret ballots
shows that 90 per cent of the skilled labor
of Illinois is for Mckinley, and it is fair
assumption that the wcrkingmen of the
rest OF the country will vote about the
same way.

THE NORFOLK ART LEAGUE.
Something About tho IntcreNiing Tx.
hIbIttOn Now GOing On There.

One of the most interesting and ponu-
lar points In the city is the studio of
the Norfolk Art League. which Is at
present the scene of the second annual
exhibition OF that organization. All day
yesterday the bcaut fully decorated
rooms. hung with brilliant works of art,
were thronEed with critical. but pleased
spectators, who were shown through the
exhibition by the charming ladies. to
whom the duties of receiving have been
relellted
One of Mr.. Lucien Powell's cleverest
pictures. Blossom Time" was sold yes
terday Mrs Fred Killam being the
fortunate purchaser The work of this
well-known artist is refreshlngly broad
ana original, impressing one ut once
with the idea of strength and depth
OF conception. He has been extremely
successful, both at home and abroad,
ana Is considered one Of the leading
water colorists of the country
The clever work of Miss Adele Will
lamS vas already been noticed and is
attracting much favorable comment. 1t
shows great talent and remarkable fin
ish.
The collection of Smillic pictures. as
has been stated, is much larger than
That OF the other artists represented
and comprise some very beautiful and
clcverly executed scenes.
Mr.. Smillic Is essentially an American
painter of American scenery, and while
he has carefully and approximately
studied the works of the best French
painters. his most cherished aim Is to
preserve his individuality and TO main
tain delicacy and refinement of treat
ment as far as compatible with the
preservation OF strength and breadth
of style.
Several CT the pictures now presented
have been painted directly from nature
In the neighborhood of Ridgefield, Conn
u place which Is full of quiet, restful
beauty. where Mr.. Smile has his sum-
mer home and studio.
He has also beautiful pictures OF the
rocky coasts of Massachusetts and
Maine. The truthfulness of these pic
lures, with the wonderful preservation
of textures in his rocks atmosphere and
water. Is very wonderful and interest
ing to study. Perhaps the Long Island
Sands at Evening is most suggestive
and poetic in the collection The quiet
gray of evening pervadcs both earth and
sky. the long, lonely stretch of sands
Is almost devoid of color There is a
broken. half-burned boat thrown up
against bank. Stiffness and calm per-
wade the whole picture
The Seal Harbor Cliffs is a picture
of beautiful contrasts OF sunlit rocks
against cool, quiet water and sky The
scraggy pines and many boats in the
distance lend life and variety.
Mrs. n. S. j. Smillie is member of
the American Water Color Society. and
was pupil of the late j. O. Eaton and
James ID. Smile. and is celebrated for
her roses and flowers. 1t Is great ad-
vantage TO the Norfolk public TO be able
to study pictures of so high an artistic
value. and certainly the first opportunity
that has been offered to do so here.
The hours of the exhibition, which
will continue through the present week
are from 10 a. m. to p. M. and from
p. m. to p. IN.
