TUESDAY MAY 8, 1895
The CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.
Free silver is the cry.
Put California to the front.
We are for measures and not men.
Protection is safe. We must now save
silver.
All the music in the air will end in har-
mony.
To-day the convention meets the oppor-
tunity.
Great principles are the first thing in
politics.
The one pledge should be fidelity to free
silver coinage.
Better have cabinet pudding any day
than cold soup.
Hippodrome politics makes a great deal
of noise but it never wins.
California at st. Louis should stand for
measures more than for men.
There are conventions, congresses and
festivals all around the horizon.
The California grizzly should not be sent
to st. Louis with his head In bag.
Now is the time for the Republican party
to dump Martin Kelly into the dust bin.
The woman's suffrage movement should
march with the Republican campaign to
victory.
California Republicanism is too big to
be tied to the tail ofany candidates Presi-
Dental kite.
California Republicans should be guilty
of no favoritism among the great leaders
of the party.
1t will be poor politics to sacrifice the
interests of California in order to obtain
Cabinet Office for Oregon.
Read all the proceedings of the woman's
Congress. Every step to be taken there

The man for California to support at st.
Louis is the man who will do most to sup
port the interest of California.
The Sacramento convention could hardly
get better money plank than that pro-
posed by the Sacramento Bee.
California holds to-day a winning posi-
tion among the States and the Sacramento
convention must not give it away.
The idea OF pledging delegation to a
particular man is localism that should
have no place in National politics.
Democrats who are eager to see the Re-
publican convention take a leap in the
dark are going to be disappointed again.
On the broad principle of loyalty to all
and hostility to none, California will merit
the favor of every candidate at st. Louis.
There will be no cut and dried nomina-
tion at st. Louis, and there should be no
cut and dried Endorsement at Sacramento.
Claiming everything in sight will be
good politics when counting chickens be-
fore they are Matched becomes good busi-
ness.
Asa State we are interested in advancing
California to place OF power in the Union
and not in the political fortunes of any
favorite son.
There is much interest in the Sacramento
convention, but no anxiety, as the people
know that Republican conventions always
do the proper thing.
No loyal Republican ought at this iunc-
ture to countenance any cause that implies
antagonism to any of the great leaders of
the Republican party.
The financial plank of the convention
should declare explicitly for free coinage
and the delegates sent to st. Louis should
be pledged to sustain it.
The intelligent people of this State
learned too much from boom methods of
doing business to take any stock in boom
methods of doing politics.
By the exercise OF political common
sense the Sacramento convention can as
sure the cause of bimetallism and obtain
Cabinet office for California.
The st. Louis convention will be delib-
erative body and the California delegation
should be free to act for the welfare of the
Pacific Coast in all issues that arise.
The State convention at Sacramento, the
Woman's Congress in this City and the
rose carnival in San Jose will keep every
thing on the jump to the END of the week.
Whatever candidate is nominated at
st. Louis will carry California. and there
