WHILE nearly everybody is sug-
costing presidential tickets let us
have our put about the matter.
The men we would name are Hon.
VIM. M. Stewart, of Nevada, and
Hon. r. P. Bland, of Missouri.
These men are about the hardest
fighters for free coinage of any
in the country, and besides that
have all of the other requirements
to fit them for the government OF
this great American nation. Such
a ticket ought to suit the West and
South, and the Middle States could
whistle; they will be against the
other two sections of country any
way on all occasions, and ought not
to be given the least consideration
in the matter. Hurrah for Stewart
and Bland and free coinage!

The names of all concerned in
the mint thefts, whether barred by
the statutes of limitation or not
should be given to the public, and
probably will be. -Er.
II there is such a law that will
bar the punishment of theft that
is not found out until some time
after it has been committed, il
should be wiped off the Statutes.
Nobody ever heard of a murderer
being allowed to run at large be-
cause the crime WAS committed
years ago and punishment barred
by the lapse of few years, and
there should be no such thing as
a man being allowed to commit
theft, and if he can keep his action
concealed for length of time, be
free from punishment.

It's a strange thing that a presi-
Dental candidate like Mckinley
cannot state exactly where he
stands when he is asking for the
highest position within gift OF the
people. Some Of bis friends claim
he would be favorable to silver, and
others say he is a gold bug. A
year or more ago he declared he
would not accept the nomination
for presidency if the Republicans
put free coinage plank in the plat
form. He has never contradicted
this statement, and must, therefore,
be classed as an enemy of free coin
age. At any rate, the man who is
not willing to define his attitude on
such an important question as the
financial one, at time when he is
seeking Office, is not fit for the Of
fee Of president, or any other Office.

lulUklGhIly AnCOb5h5tCht POhUiO"A
convention which was ever held in
the State Of California, was that
which held its session recently. If
General Grant were alive and
could have witnessed the proceed
ings of that convention, he would
have apologized to the Democrats,
and his famous aphorism would
now read: "The Republican party
can always be relied upon to do the
wrong thing at the right time"
The committee on credentials,
packed with Spreckels' attorneys
who acted as judges in contested
case in which Spreckels was most
vitality interested, threw out one
delegation in the alleged cause of
"pure politics" and seated another
representing a side which was open
ly proved to have gained its battle
by recourse to every known species
of political fraud and chicanery.
After declaring that the voice of the
primary was the voice of the Re-
publican party in Alameda county,
and then recommending a resolu-
ton, which the convention adopted,
declaring that delegates to all coun-
ty. district and state conventions of
the Republican party should he
elected at primaries or caucuses
regularly called this same creden-
tials committee held that the pri-
mary delegation from Sacramento
county should not be seated, but
that which was N. G. in Alameda
county was o. K. in Sacramento
county.
1t was this wonderfully variegat-
ed and strikingly vagarious report
which caused Taylor of Alameda to
ask: Consistency, where is thy
jewelry?"
A combination had evidently
been made between the railroad
forces and the Spreckels combine,
and the funding bill received the
cold sho ulder in the report of the
committee on platform. Great was
the surprise and evident the chagrin
when Short of Fresno rushed
through a plank, which was tackled
to the platform, protesting against
the funding bill. And then-Oh,
consistency, thy jewelry must still
be in pawnl-then, Grove L. john
son was elected a delegate to St.
Louis, and Col. Chas. F. Croker is
to be put on the ticket as an elector.
After pronouncing for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at
a ratio of Is to /, the convention
pledged its delegates to VIM. Nc
Kinley, already lionized on gold
bug platform in Illidois, and highly
honored by money plank in Ohio,
which steers very cleverly between
the Colorado silver mines and the
Gibraltar of Wall street.
On Monday, John d. Spreckles
issued his ultimatum to the con-
vention that he would never go to
St. Louis pledged; that if the dele
gates to the convention were to be
pledged to Mckinley, he would
leave the convention, return to San
Francisco, and withdraw his finan-
cial support from the Republican
party. On Wednesday afternoon
the same John d. Spreckels, duly
elected a delegate to St. Louis,
mounted the platform at Sacrament
to, and gave his word of honor that
he would obey the instructions and
would vote for VIM. Mckinley at
st. Louis.
