FIGHTING FOR SENATORS.

A bulletin issued by the Republican
National managers declares that from now
on the Democratic National Committee
will in effect abandon the attempt to
elect Bryan and devote the rest of the
campaign to the election of Legislatures
in States where United States Senators are
to be chosen. Their plan is to try to re-
tain the free silver control in the Senate
by electing enough silver Senators to hold
the balance of power and prevent the
passage of tariff bill.
One of the States in which it is the hope
of the fusion TO bring about the election
OF a Senator opposed to protection is Calf
fornia. To achieve that result the fusion
managers have set aside the ablest and
worthiest leaders of the Democratic party,
and will combine with the Populists to
bring about the election of Mr.. Gator. 1t
behooves the people of California to be on
their guard against this trick of the
enemies of the industries of the State.
Califo rnia is already misrepresented by
one free-trader in the United States Sem
ate, and we cannot afford to run the risk
of another.
1t is not likely that any more will be
required than to call the attention OF the
people to this danger. The fight from now
on will be for Congressmen and members
of the Legislature. Bryan himself is
virtually defeated. His party is abso-
lutely demoralized. Not one single man
of eminence Is supporting him in the
campaign. The issue is to secure the con-
troll OF Congress. Fusion in this fight can
be defeated as easily as fusion in the
Presidential fight. Let the people be on
their guard. No man should be elected to
Congress who is not in favor of protection,
and no man should be elected to the State
Legislature who will not vote for stanch,
stalwart Republican for the United States
Senate.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

INSTITUTION.
To the Editor of the San Francisco Cdtt-SlE'
At the present time the public are in a guam
dary as to the exact location OF the San Fran
cisco main Postoffice.. Some three weeks ago
all the carriers and the ma ajority OF the clerks
were ostensibiy transferred from the old main
Postoffiee, at the corner of Washington ana
Battery Streets to the newly erected red log
cabin situated at the foot OF Market street.
now known as "Station D'' Poslotice. Alter
making several "fooI's errand" trips on Sun
days TO the old Office the regular Sunday
callers were finally impressed with the lact
that hereafter they would be Obliged to call at
"Station D." for their nail on Sundays anu
holidays, as all business pertaining to the CITY
distribution, as well as to the outside dis
paiches would be transacted only at that
office, and that only the money-order, stamp,
general delivery aud registry divisions would
do business at the old stand.
Callers whose mail was formerly delivered
from the old main office, after calling AT "Sta-
ton D'' on Sunday and Monday las labor
day. were informed that their mail would be
delivered TO them at the old Office again, as II
was found necessary to move the carriers
back on the day before. IL is very annoying
to the pubic to be kept running around in
this manner after their Letters, hrst 10 one
Office and then to another, without any appar-
ent certainty as to wheEe they should really
apply.
Advance
the Posloffce officials before any new move is
made for the guidance OF the public, and this
mysterious shifting OF the carrier division
from one place TO another is not al all in keep
ing with the working OF that branch OF the
Government service.
Another matter which 1 would like to
SUNDAYS. holidays and weekdays, after 3
O'clock in the afternoon. it is impossible to
purchase stamps or postalcards in the Yicin-
ity OF the main Office. Yesterday, LeDor osy,
/ stepped into stationery-store near the old
Postoffice and asked TO be accommodated
with small quantity of postage-stamPs, but
the clerk pontely informed me that Wltn1n
couple of hours in the forenoon he had sold
nearly $50 worth of stamps ana did not have
one left. He said that since the carriers de.
partment OF the old main Office had moved
no stamps could be purchased outside OF the
regular weekday stamp-office hours. The pub
lie support the Postofice Department., and why
should not the public be served In proper
manner, FRO BONO fUBLlCo.

ABSURD ON THE FACE OF IT.

The report that Mr.. Hanna despairs of
the election OF Mckinley was effectus lly
refuted by the vote in Connecticut on the
day it was made public. How can any
man who is at all well informed be doubt
FIJI of Republican success in year when
every election shows Republican gains? !?
There was an increase of the Republican
vote even in Arkansas last month, and
now the town elections in Connecticut
prove that the great Republican majorities
of two years ago are to be exceeded in that
State in November.
Mr.. Hanna when asked about the re-
port said: at is absurd on the face of it.
l have never at any time said anything
capable of such construction. / have
never conceded the election of Mr.. Bryan
and l certainly cannot concede it now
when the tide is flowing so strongly and
Enthusiastically in the direction of Repub-
lican success" 1t hardly needed this de-
NAL to confirm the public Judgment on
the report which was flashed up so con-
spicuously by the Examiner yesterday.
AS Mr.. Hanna says, absurdity was ION the
face OF il" and in no possible form could
that absurdlty have been made more
prominent and protuberant an in the
particular shape the Examiner gave it.
The report in itself was matter of but
little Importance. 1t derives interest only
from the fact that it is another evidence
of the foolish, ridiculous and almost silly
way in which the campaign is being con-
Quoted by the Popocrat managers and
organs. No story is too evidently false
for the managers to set afloat or for the
organs to publish with display headlines.
The leaders of the Democratic party who
have scorned the Bryan platform seem to
have taken all the brains of the party
with them. The managers or misman-
ayers In charge of the fusion are making a
campaign which is nothing more than
political farce. The whole programme is
absurd on the face of it."
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-07

vote for Hobart elector. In fact, Wat
sons position with reference to the true
status of the Populist ticket before the
country has been right all the time.
Watson very properly holds that the st.
Louis convention was a legally consti-
tuted Populist convention, and that no
provisions were made for the nomination
of any but Populists for President and
Vice President. It follows, therefore.
Watson contends, that Bryan was NOM
mated because the convention not only
believed him to be a Populist, but the
most available member of the Populist
party for Presidential candidate, as Wat
son was for Vice Presidential candidate;
that no one has the right to undo the
work of the convention by substituting
another for either one of the nominees,
and that fusion or com bination that con-
templates making the National ticket read
Bryan and Sewall, ''t"Bryan and Hobart"
or Bryan and any one other than Watson
would be an illegal proceeding. In that,
however. the Georgian is playing bluff, for
electors are not bound except by their
honor to vote for any particular man for
President. Mckinley electors could vote
for Bryan if they wanted TO, just as BRYAN
electors could vote for Palmer or McKin-
ley, or for some one whose name had
never been mentioned in connection with
the Presidency.
But Watson is clearly right when he
says the Populist party las no official
knowledge of such ticket as bryan and
Sewali, and therefore no Populist could
vote for such candidates. Watson admits
that the Bryan and Watson ticket could
combine with the Bryan and Sewail ticket
and with the Mckinley and Hobart ticket
for mutual advantage in local affairs, but
says no combination could be made by
which the standing and rights of a Presi-
Dental or Vice Presidential candidate
would be ieopardized, for that would be an
nulling the work of the nominating con-
yention, which could not be done except
by the party in convention.
While admitting the right of the Demo-
cratic party to nominate Bryan and
Sewa electors, Watson insists that it is
an act of false pretenses to call such q
ticket the Populist ticket, and that it is
equally dishonorable to combine on
Bryan and divide on Sewall and Watson
III nominating electors. OF course Wat
son could say nothing that would change
the programme, for the bosses have
already deter mined what their course
shall be. but he has the satisfaction of
showing the country that he is not the
chump the Bryanites have been taking
him for.
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-07
SAN FRAEoIsGo's OPPORTUNITY.

Never have the people of San francisco
had better opportunity to provide good
municipal administration than IN this
campaign. The division of the Demo
cratic party, the fusion of the Buckley
wing with the Populists and OF the Ralney
wing with the Nom Partisans, opens way
for the election of Colonel Taylor if only
the Repu blican party unites in his sup
port and receives the votes which 1t may
reasonably expect from the better element
of our citizens.
Colonel Taylor's official record is known
to every citizen who reads the newspapers
and has paid any attention to the con-
duct of City affairs. On every issue aris-
ing before the Board of Supervisors in
volving the welfare of tbe people and the
interests of the City, he has acted uni
formly for the public good. OF this there
can be no dispute. The record was made
openly. 1t is to be found in the public
accounts of the proceedings of the Super
vlsors, and no man can point to single
Objectionable feature in it.
While Colonel Taylor in this way repre-
sents the best interests of the City and the
highest honesty in official service, it is
known that those who are opposing him
are to greater or less extent representa-
tives OF all that is meant by Buckleyism
and Raineyism in municipal politics. To
vote against Colonel Taylor is to cast q
vote on the side of those personal infiu-
ences which have been so corrupting in
times past and which, it is hardly neces-
sary to say, will be equally corrupting in
the future. This being so, there ought TO
be most cordial support given to Colonel
Taylor by every Republican in the City
and by all members of other parties who
are willing 10 unite with Republicans for
good government, clean politics and an
honest business-like administration of
municipal affair
