The San Francisco call., 1896-06-17

we are QTSL al CdCIdluSnlO.
There are no fakes in our dispatches.
The Nation hangs on the telegraph
wires.
The CALL speaks for all and speaks
promptly.
The whole country will listen to-day to
hear from st. Louis.
Sacramento convention news is hot stuff
and we serve it warm.
There is no question that Tom Platt
knows how to hold his own.
Next to seeing the conventions, the best
thing is to read of them in THE CALL.
This will be a great week for oratory,
and possibly there will be some eloquence
in it.
Join Republican club at once and be
ready to take part in the great ratification
rally.
There was once a Democratic conven-
ton at Stockton-but why pursue the
theme.
The Federal brigade will not ask an in
dorsement Tor Grover. They have sucked
him dry.
The Buckleyltes left San Francisco as
lambs but are showing up in Sacramento
se tigers.
The Buckleyite is not particular about
getting a convention seat in a conven-
ti0nal way.
1t begins to look as if after this campaign
there would be hardly enough Democrats
left for seed.
The first session of the st. Louis conven-
tion was short, and it goes without saying
it was sweet.
The Republican candidate will be first in
the field, first IN the canvass and first on
election day
One thing at time is a good rule in
politics, ana protection has the right of
way this year.
Those who win at Sacramento will lose
on election day and the country viii have
its consultations.
After the sweat of the convention Sac
ramento had hetter go to Santa Cruz and
get in the swim.
Daggett was once read out of the Demo-
cratic party and now he seems to have the
party in his pocket.
If you wish fair, accurate and reliable
reports of what is going on, and no lakes,
you must read THE CALL.
The gold standard, with work and
wages, is better than free silver with a
tariff that destroys wages.
There is no doubt the affair at Sacra-
mento is going to be carried on in very
Democratic party manner.
1t seems the Vice-Presidency is the one
Office in this country that has to seek the
man, and seek him far and wide.
Nobody will object to the golden ring in
the tone of the platform that demands a
return to protection and prosperity.
1t will be pleasant at the close of this
week to turn from conventions to the
freshness and beauty of Santa Cruz.
The Republican party will occupy the
middle of the road, and Others will have
to sit on the fence or take to the woods.
AS a sideshow to the great National
convention at st. Louis the gathering at
Sacramento is a pretty good menagerie.
Other issues may do in other States, but
Delaware seems preparing to make her
hottest fight on the single-tax proposition.
The hay crop in France is reported to be
failure, and the man who goes to grass
in this country this year may find money
in il.
There seems to be a very degenerate
breed of Democrats at this convention, for
while few take it straight most of them
take mint in theirs.
Even the earliest delegate among the
Democrats at Sacramento gets his MORN
ING CALL before breakfast, and reads the
news as an appetizer.
1t is asserted the only European mon
arch whose life is not insured is the Gar
and probably he hasn't revenues enough
to pay the premium on his risk.
There is no need to get alarmed over the
noise that comes from Sacramento. A
Democratic fight is hardly ever anything
more than picnic for the boys.
The vigor with which the friends of Alli-
son, Morton and Reed have supported
their favorites for the nomination is an
evidence of the vigor with which they will
support the nominee when the campaign
begins. There is no weakness anywhere
n the grand old party this year.
