The Junta pressed the button and Gould
did the rest.
All that Daggett feels the need of now is
larger hat.
When it is called Gould victory the
Federal brigade smiles.
tits evident that Manager Hanna doesn't
believe in railroading things.
The Buckleyites won't bolt, because
they can't. They are cornered.
BuckIev's retirement from politics has
now something compulsory about it.
Thurston's speech touched the right
chord and awoke q responsive harmony.
CIeveland's letter was evidently intended
merely as an expression of his tired feel
ing.
The memory of the famous Stockton
convention will be invoked by Democrats
no more.
Now that the Buckleyites are in a hole
the thing that grinds them most is that
Daggett dug it.
AS the populous East is not yet ready for
the money question we of the West must
perforce let it wait.
The Buckleyites found to their sorrow
that those who take front seats early are

and McNab to give the razzle dazzle by
way of a ratification.
After the political fretting of the week

to recreate the State.
No one can complain that the St Louis
convention did not give time and oppor-
tunity for full hearing.
Protection will establish itself this year,
and then will come the campaign of edu-
cation on the money question.
There is even some talk of Texas going
Republican this year just to show fellow
feeling with the rest of the Union.
There are some things which can be
learned from words, but the glory of Santa
Cruz in her festal array must be seen.

There may be some people with leisure
enough to read the Sacramento platform,
but those who do will regard it merely as
killing time.
The eloquence of to-day at st. Louis

up the record of THE CALL, and that was
what it was designed to do.
The early morning service of THE CALL
