Is it not a campaign consisting of an
appeal to ignorance Is it not CAM
paign of an appeal to falsehood? Is 1t
not appealing to dishonor and dis
honesty, and, finally, a campaign resting
on an appeal to hatred, envy, malice,
and all uncharitabieness This, gentIe-
men, is what distin guishes this cam
psign broadly aud sharply from any
other political campaign which any of
us have any knowledge of. 1t is this
that makes it a fight which puts at
hazard and imperils the found alton
Of society itself 1t is this copsIdera-
tion which makes 1t in a high de gree
proper that we should all forget our
former party alliances and connections
and unite together, earnestly, sincerely
and enthusiastically In one effort to
finally get rid of such a pestiIentiaI
heresy as that which Bryan il endeav-
oring to propagate.-Hon. James G. Car

NO BLANK CARTRIDGES.
Uhy Erery sound Money democrat
ShoULd Cast His Tote for
Mex iRIeY.

The argument on free silver at l6 to / is
closed and there is not shred of fact or reason
left 10 justify popular support Of deprecated
currency. l am and have been since his noni-
nation opposed to the election Of W. J. Bryan
First, as an American, and second, as Demo-
crat recognize the grievances and the just
demands of the people. oppose personalities
and believe party methods require reconstruct
ton. But this hss been the campaign of the
non-sequitur as made by the advocates of free
silver. Many OF the promises are sound, but
they are wholly disconnected from the con clu-
sion. The money power has been aggressive
and successful, but lis victories over the peo-
pie are not attributable TO any iegis la A)n or
trend OF judicial decision affecting the cur
rency.
Here is where the non-sequitur comes In.
From my point of view the Chicago platform
is not Democratic but most radically opposed
to true Democracy. The Indianapolis plat
money is in the election of Mckinney, and in
this State especially, in my opinion, every
vote cast for Palmer and Buckner is in effect q
vote against Mckinley.
Bryan is said TO have won his nomination by
declaring in substance that e crown of thorns
should not be pressed upon the brow of labor
and that humanity should not be crueifed
upon cross OF gold. These figures, though
Immediately effective, were not original 1t
may well be suggested that, at this day, and in
this land, the crucihxion of humanity
is not possible, but ii it were, q cross OF gold
would be preferable 10 a cross of silver. The
deeper thought, however, is that neither the
crown of thoFns, nor the cross would have
passed into history, had it not been for the
Isoariot, who sold his Lord and master for
thirty pieces OF silver. This prototype of mod
ern repudiationists, being pricked with his
conscience, appropriately hanged himself, and
his thirty pieces of silver were used as legal
tender for the purchase of Aceldama or the
Held OF blood. HENRY E. HIGHToN.

THE NEXT SENATE.

Among the Senators whose terms of Office
expire on the 4th of next March are
thirteen Republicans Political experts
concede the certainty that all Of these will
be returned or that Republican successors
will be elected for them except in the case
OF the Senators from North Carolina and
California. 1t is to be regretted that even
the least sanguine of experts should have
any doubt concerning this State. The in
dustries of California require protection
and it shows most perverse state OF pub
lie opinion that there should be any ques-
tion as to whether or no the California
Legislature will send stanch protection
Ist to the Senate next year.
The only danger that lies in the way of
electing a Republican Senator is the fusion
which has been brought about between
the Populists and the Democrats of the
State. There are abundant evidences that
the fusion managers have prepared to sac
rihcs Bryan to gain the next Senator.
They see no hope of the election of free
silver President, but they believe that they
can control the Senate and thus, by pre-
venting the passage of protective tariff
bill which would restore the prosperity of
the country, keep alive the present discon-
tent and give themselves chance for be t
ter success four years from now.
The real fight of the campaign, there.
fore, Is for the Senate. Bryan is defeated.
The free-silver candidates for the Senate
however, still have hopes of success. In
every State where there is possibility of
eiecting one OF them the fusion managers
will direct every effort to that end. 1t is
against these efforts that Republicans
must now be on their guard.
The likelihood OF the success Of the fusion
managers in California has been largely
diminished by the character OF the man
whom they have put in the forefront of
the contest as their candidate for the Sem
ate. Mr.. Gator represents no interest in
California and no strong sentiment among
its people. He does not reprg sent the
Populist rank and file, though he is the
choice of the convention of that party,
and he is in no sense OF the word the rep
resentative of Democracy. He has been
put upon Democrats by trade for which
they are not responsible and which the
better element among them will hardly
support.
Nevertheless the danger must not be
overlooked. Among the features of the
campaign to which close attention must
be given by Republicans and honest
money Democrats is that of the election
OF Republican legislative ticket. Let

VOTE FOR COLONEL TAYLOR.

Charles L. Taylor should receive the
vote of every believer in good municipal
government in San Francisco. He is the
nominee of the regular Republican party
of this City and stands for all that the
party represents. He is entitled to every
loyal Republican vote, on the score of the
re u,arity OF his nomination, and is enti-
tied also to the vote OF every independent
citizen on the score of his character and
his eminent services to the people while a
member of the Board Of Supervisors.
Vote for Charles L. Taylor. Make his
majority one that the City can be proud
of. Make it an evidence that the people
have at last arisen against boss rule in
politics and dishonesty in municipal gov
ernment. Vote for him because he is q
sound Republican. Vote for him because
he is good citizen. Vote for him because
he was faithful, honest and upright Su-

TO-DAY's DUTY.

The duty of Republicans to-day is to
arrange to bring out the full vote of the
party tomorrow. Every Repu blican
should resolve to attend to this duty for
himself and see to it that such of his
neighbors as may be Indifferent or careless
do not neglect to go to the polls and vote
for Mckinley and Hobart and the whole
ticket.
There are always men who permit some
trif1ing call of the day to lead them to
overlook the high privilege of voting for
the m en- who are to administer the affairs
of the Nation, the State and the City.
These men should be made aware of the
responsibility that rests upon them. The
business and the industry of every man is
concerned in the outcome of this election.
There is hardly man in California who
could not better afford to close up his
business altogether on Tuesday than to
lose the chance of casting vote for pros
perity.
This then is the duty of the day. Talk
to your friends and neighbors. Remind
them of the great issues at stake. Impress
upon them the responsibility of citizen
ship. Urge upon them the demands of
patriotism. Obtain from them promise
that under no circumstances will ey
fail to go to the polls tomorrow and vote
right.
The argument of the campaign has re-
suited in Republican triumph, but the
final test will be the votes on election dsy.
1t will matter little il man thinks right
If he does not vote right. 1t was good to
work for Mckinley during the campaign,
1t was excellent to march in the grand
procession of Saturday. but that which is
best remains to be done. Every citizen
must vote. Every patriot must vote for
sound money, protection, prosperity and
National honor. Resolve in your own
mind that you will not fail in this duty
and resolve also that you will do all in
your power to get others to be equally
faithful to the welfare of the Nation.

DEFEAT MAGUIRE.

1t is the clear, logical and patriotic duty
OF the Republicans of the Fourth Con-
gressional District 20 defeat James G. Ma
guire and to elect Republican to Con-
gress in his place. This is duty to party
and 10 principle. without reference to the
merits of individual men. Mr.. Mcguire is
a Democrat and free trader of the most
extreme type. He has never cast his vote
in Congress for the protection OF an
American industry and he never will. If
the Republican National ticket shall pre-
vail and il Mr. Mcguire should be re-
elected he will be found opposing every
effort of the administration TO restore
prosperity by means of protection and
fighting the battle of free trade whenever
and wherever the issue is joined. Let the
Republicans OF his district remember this
fact upon election DAY, and when they
cast their ballot for Mex inley and protec-
ton let them not stultify themselves by
voting for NJ aguire and free trade.
The career of Mr.. Mcguire in Congress
durin, the past two terms has not JUS
titled his return. When asked by his con-
stituents what he has done for his district
he is unable to point TO the pages of the
Congressional Record which contain a
satisfactory reply. The people of San
Francisco expected much from Mr..
Mcguire in the way of accelerating tn e
procurement of our new Postoffice build
ing, but their expectations have not been
realized. The time which he might have
wei spent IN urging the authorities at
Washington to action in this matter
he preferred to occupy in making
speeches down in Delaware upon
the subject of the single tax. T g
influence which he might have welded
with the administration in securing needed
appropriations for the improvement of the
harbor must have been otherwise en-
ployed. In short, the utility of Mr.. Ma
guire as Congressman is not discernible
to the people of San Francisco, nor is there
any reason which can be assigned why his
reelection should be made possible by Re-
publican votes. The plain duty of the Re-
publicans OF his district is to cast their
ballots for Thomas B. OBrien on next
Tuesday, and thus insure the election of a
Republican Congressman from the Fourth
Congressional District, who may be counted
upon to sustain every effort of Republi-
can administration to enact such protec-
tive legislation as will restore prosperity
to the land

NEWS OF FOREIGN NAvIES

Inc naval arsenal at Fooehow is again to be
reorganized. 1t was started on the European
plan IN the early sixties, with French officers
and number OF foreign engineers and me-
chanics for staff engaged to build ships, en-
glnes ana guns. After q few years the foreign
ers were dispensed with and the Chinese con-
tlnued the work begun, but made no progress.
as they simply duplicated ships built years
ago. The recent war with Japan has opened
the eyes OF the Emperor's advisers, and Gen.
erai u Lu has been placed in charge OF the
Foochow arsenal. After consultation with a
French naval officer it has been decided 10 en-
gage another corps of French naval ship
virgins, engineers and other mechanics, with
three superlntendents, each of whom are to be
pald SloOO month. Seven professors at
monthly salary OF 1920 each are to come out
from England to take charge of the naval
school located at Foochow.
The experiment of building engines and
boilers in the dockyards has proved success
In the British navy. 1t was the practice, until
SIX years ago, TO give all the engines and boil
ers to private firms, but the good and econom-
1cal work done on the Cleaner has proved
that the dockyard force can turn out as good
machinery at reasonable cost as they can
build ships. The advantages of having all parts
OF vessel built at one place are apparent-the
costly plants are utilized and the Government
becomes less dependent on outside private
firms.
Inc British Admiralty is introducing water
tube boilers of different patterns in several
ships, with view of actically testing their
merits. The Babcock and Wilcox is being
htted In the Sheldrake, the Salamander has
the Thornycroft, the Belleville was put in the
sharpshooter some time go, and the Niclause
as well as the Du Temple boilers will be placed
In two other vessels of the same class as those
above mentioned, which all gunboats of
735 tons and 4500 horsepower.
Spain has ordered cruiser from an Italian
firm. The vessel will be similar to the Carl
baldi. built in Italy and sold to the Argentine
Republic. She will be 6S40 tons and is to de-
with $4,000 horsepower.
Messrs. Krupp OF Essen have purchased the
Germania Ship-Building Works at Kiel and
Germania Marine-Engine Works at Tegel, near
Berlin. They have also purchased ground at
Wilhelmshafen, where they building
works and docks suitable for repairing iron
clads and placing engines on board. 1t is
understood the Krupps have taken this step
on the suggestion Of the Emperor there is
difficulty OF securing the requisite money from
parliament for the extension of ship-building.
The purchase will enable the Krupp firm TO
supply ships-of-war complete with armament
ready for service.

ment agreeing to build battleship of IL 900

Brooklyn tagle
1t Is because We believe that what he has
said SO plainly and simply would come up to
torment him In the White House that we
are convinced that defeat would be the best
thing that could happen to him. He has
told the farmers that they would get twice
as much for their crops IL he were elected,
and he has also told the workingmen that
their wages would buy just as much with
free coinage as they do now. He has made
this so clear that no one can mistake him.
Many farmers and workingmen will vote
ior MIN because they believe what he tells
them But the things which he promises he
cannot fulfill.
Mr. Bryan needs to learn that whatever the
experience OF the civilized world has found 10
be the best policy under given circumstances
cannot easily be proved 10 be the worst 1t
may not be ideal, but 1t has been adopted be-
cause 1t was better than that which preceded
IT. Ii ne should happen to ee elected he will
wish before the end of his term that he had
been defeated. and II he is defeated he will
thank Providence that he was not called upon
to lace the disasters which would have fol-
lowed the free coinage of silver.

take every occasion also to declare tn at

tentative is for the Government to stop.
