The San Francisco call., 1896-06-10

and l know that each of them is
pledged to carry out the wishes of the Re-
publicans of California as expressed in our
recent State platform. That platform en-
joined upon US the duty of voting and
working and doing everything in honor to
bring about the nomination of Mckinley.
And every delegate will do all that is in
his power to compass that result"
1--WE were next enjoined to advance the
cause of silver, and this we shall do to the
utmost of our ability. Next, the Repub-
licans of California think the time has
come when the Pacific Coast should have
a place in the Cabinet, and naturally we
think that California should furnish the
man for the place. We ask the Repub-
icans of New England, of the great East
and perhaps OF the greater Mississippi
Valley to concede the justice and propriety
of California's desire in this matter. So
the California delegation is here to ask at
the hands of the Republican nominee,
who in my judgment will be the next
President, this recognition.
81 am sure that at present the money
question is absorbing public attention,
perhaps to the exclusion of the tariff, but
speaking for myself believe the tariff is
and will be the great, paramount and con-
trolling issue of the campaign. This is a
question that goes directly to the homes
and firesides of the whole American peo-
pie, East and West, North and South.
1--WE CalIfornians believe that protection
walks hand in hand with patriotism and
prosperity. What the PROSTATE and almost
helplessly ruined industries of this coun-
try want is the return of the Republican
party to power and the restoration of a
genuine American protective tariff, and it
is because Californians look upon McKin-
ley as the personihcation of protection,
and it is because of his close Identification
with the protective tariff, that California is
for Major Mckinley for President"
NJ. H. de Young of California had this to
say:
''The delegates from the silver States
are very determined in their desire to adj
vance the interests of silver. They want
the right to have free coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1. Some of them are very
radical and talk about leaving the conven-
ton in case they fail to have their views
adopted. This action will not be general.
at is generally known that Colorado,
under the leadership of Teller, proposes to
walk out of the convention The silver
men, especially Colo rado, Montana and
other States where silver is an important
factor, think that if Teller would be nom
mated by the Democratic party in Chicago
there would be no questio of his indorse-
ment by the two conventions that meet in
St. Louis on July %. That is, the silver
party convention and the Populist party.
In fact it is an understanding already
made and agreed to that both of these
conventions will indorse the nomination
of Teller think if Teller leaves the con-
vention Montana and Idaho will promptly
follow. Utah as a whole will not"
A. c. Cleveland, National Com mittee-
man from Nevada, was one of the arrivals
this afternoon.
I'VE are bere,' he said. "to fight to the
bitter end for silver. We expect defeat,
but we shall fight just the same If the
party does nothing for Us, they must ex-
pect defeat in Nevada. The Nevada dele
CATION, [ feel sure, will remain in the con-
vention. There is nothing to be gained
by starting a third party. If the gold
standard is adopted here and free silver
men win at Chicago, the result will be an
overwhelming victory for the Democrats
in Nevada"
P. H. Lannan, publisher of the Salt
Lake Tribune, is guest of the Southern,
and, while not delegate, is much inter
ested in the convention.
ave are for free silver first, last and all
the time,' said Mr.. Lannan ;his evening.
"The people here in the East have much
mistaken idea OF us out there in the West.
They regard our silver ideas as selfish
ones, but l assure you they are not. 1t
costs about $12 ton to mine and treat
silver, whereas it costs only 81 so to do the
same for gold. Let US pass the free coin
age OF silver measure and business will
revive all over the country, idle labor will
be employed and hard times will be a
thing OF the past. This does not apply
only to Utah, Colorado, California and
other Pacific Coast States, but to every
State in the Union"
