OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, |


One remark OF Macaulay's, referring to
, Voltaire, sums up as no other words could
do the Bryan campaign in this county.
"Voltaire could not build" said Macau-
ley; "he could only pull down"
Now the intelligent people are wonder
Ing what are the principles of Organism.
They have gone to the Tabernacle night
after night, and have heard every Repub-
lIcan doctrine trampled under foot; they
have heard every Republican sneered at;
they have seen every prominent man
in the country ridiculed and pilloried; I;
they have seen a few men march on
Broadway, bearing badges on which was
printed Police Gazette carIcature that
the caption said was intended for Mark
Hanna; they have heard the men who
four years ago shouted themselves red in
the face for Cleveland and gold declare
that they were as wrong then as they de-
clare the followers of Mckinley are to-
day; they have been witnesses to all this
for three months, and now all is over, and
not single truth or principle has been
brought forward as a substitute for all
these great evils as seen through ever
chan ging eyes.
The men who have led the campaign of
Popocracy in this county are men who
have been repudiated at the polls time
and time again. Many of them are Cleve.
land ice-holders and are employed at
the Mint, the Custom-house or in post
offices. There has been no alliance be-
tween the Democrats and Popuists in
this county; the alliance has been between
Cleveland office holders who are anxious
TO succeed themselves and Bryanites.
Many votes were lost by the excess of
last nights indecencies. Thomas B. Reed
of Maine is a man who enjoys the respect
OF State of Maine associations wherever
he goes, and an insult to Reed is an insult
to his State. Many honest Maine people
saw with shame the paltrY efforts last
night to cast odium on the great states
man because he is honest and true to his
convictions.
"Reed, the slave of Huntington" is
surely a very consistent motto to haul
in a parade behind Warren B. Englis b,
DR.. Woolsey and G. w. Baker. a Southern
Pacific attorney. 1t must have inspired
disgust in intelligent people VINO saw it.
The incident was not lost to the people
from Name, who still have some of that
respect which is an element of New Eng
land life.
Another edifying spectacle was a revolt
ing impersonation of the Police Gazette
idea of Mark Hanna in gold -colored suit

White, Postmaster Ole Vincent of Berke-
ley, Surveyor of Port English, whose res

fitzgerald, Daggetts Alameda County
lieutenant, and several other employees OF
the Mint and Custom-house were leading
lights. Such are a few of the facts con-
nected with the campaign of Organism
just closed in this county.
In strange contrast with the programme
OF ridicule just referred to is the campaign
of those who are in favor of protection.
sound money and decency. Not single
transparency has heen seen on the street
that could be even willfully construed
into personality rejecting on their DO.
litieal opponents. Probably in no other
county in the State has Republican cam
paign ever been conducted with more
decorum and freedom from trivialities.
This'has not been a necessity forced on
the managers of the campaign because of
the inviolabIe consistency of their oppo-
nentA Had ever legitimate sarcasm been
sought the material was at hand.
Senator Stewards golo mortgages on
record in this county and some of his ut
terances regarding the gold mortgages
held by other people; the peculiarities of
Cleveland Office holders hitching their fu
ture ambitions TO the tail of Bryan's kite:
the utterances of such leading Bryanites
as T. III. B. Rosenberg, ]. w. Dutton, t.
v. Gator and ]. A. Jones; all these, had
the shoe been on the other foot, would
have been eagerly grasped and made sub
jects of ridicule, and possibly with good
effect. But not one of them has been
taken up by the Republican managers.
They have not prosecuted Voltairean
camraign of pulling down. Theirs has
been a process of building. No disap-
pointed railroad employees have been
hired to air their grievances and work off
personal grudges under the shadows OF
Organism. No wreck marks the track of
the Republican campaign, but instead
there has been built up in Alamedy
County structure of principle and in
tegrity and intelligence and decency such
as was never seen here before.
If any proof of the respectability and
solidity of the Republican campaign Is
needed, glance at the formation OF the
great parade tomorrow might well supply
it. No caricature of Bryan, Teller. Jones
or Altgeld no attempt at wrecking; no
'Noltairism; no adoption of caricature to
conceal the utter absence of legitimacy.
The grea1 pulses of industry and COM
merce will throb in tomorrow nights
/, parade. Serious men, to whom the clank
OF the anvil or the thud of the hammer is
I the sweetest of music, because every
Asound is connecting link between home
aud happiness, will be in line. Men who
nave worked their way to the topmost
rung OF the ladder of success by industry
and thrift will be there also. Among The
latter are Johnny Britton, who shove!ed
cllnkers out OF the gas company's boiler
hres twenty years ago and who is now
