The CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.
.-----a.--~-z----s----a---
The trouble with life at present is it is
too conventional
There never was boom in the world
without a sag in it somewhere.
There is a big strain in the Republican
camp, but it is a strain of harmony.
Whatever the financial plank at St.
Louis is it must not be deal board.
Whenever you find place that isn't a
convention center it is a summer resort.
The rest they get in St. Louis to-day
will be only little more of the same
thing.
Those who said all is over in st. Louis
but the shouting evidently forgot the
platform.
1t will be hot in Sacramento this week if
she intends to temper her weather to the
shorn lambs.
The Santa Cruz festival will be some
thing of a convention where all parties will
be in the swim.
Before long the air OF Sacramento will
be full enough of fur and feathers TO be
used as q bed lounge
This is the only State in the Union
where festivals are mixed with politics
and verybody has good time.
Whether we have single standard or
double standard is of less Importance than
to have work, wages and prosperity.
Democrats will figure largely at the
summer resorts this season. The whole
party seems to be taking to the woods.
The name given to the Santa Cruz fes-
tival Is only Venetian blind. There will
be a real California frolic on the inside.
There is no use fretting over the Repub-
lican convention. 1t is sure to give US
prosperity candidate on prosperity plat.
form.
What perplexes society girls this season
Is to hear so many fellows calling them
selves good party men when they can't
dance.
AS the Sutro administration is to leave
the City in darkness for two weeks it cam
not be said to even hold q candle to its
pledges.
The Democratic party is not half so
much troubled by lack of leaders as the
Democratic leaders are troubled by the
lack of a party.
Democracy could straddle the money
question easy enough. 1t is the attempt
to straddle Clevelandism that splits it
clear up to the neck.
AS a matter of fact this Democratic swap
from Buckley to Daggett is about the noisi-
est and worse transfer nuisance we have
ever known in this town.
tits strange there should be any dispute
over the platform to be adopted at St.
Louis. What is the matter with the Re-
publican record as platform?
After all the real issue before the people
is to turn the Democratic fools and
faction fighters out of Office and restore to
power the party of statesmen and patriots.
return to protection will revive the
industries of the country and put money
into circulation, and that will be as good
as gold and ought to satisfy any goldbug.
Bear in mind, THE CALL is the only
morning paper in this City that publishes
the United Press dispatches, AID if you
wish to keep posted you must get THE
CALL.
The British are no longer talk ing of any
manifest destiny to annex the Transvaal.
They are now looking round for some
kind of special providence that will enable
them to let go.
tits all well enough for Flower of New
York to talk of the Chicago convention
drafting some good man to make the
race" but suppose the good man insists
on his right to hire a substituted
short time ago the political experts
prophesied the contest at st. Louis would
be mainly over the candidate and at Chi
cago mainly over the platform, but at
present they are exporting it the other
way.
There is no reason why silver Repub.
licans should bolt the st. Louis ticket, even
if tse platform declares for. gold. Let us
re-establish the industries of the country
this year and we can settle TIE financial
questions later on.
Congress being off his hanas and his
family at Buzzards Bay Cleveland has
ample time to decide whether he will deal
with the Cuban question, try 10 boss the
Chicago convention or just go fishing and
let the world take its course.
The Governor of Maine is accused OF
having misquoted Moore line into "Shout
