THE REPUTATION OF GATOR.

The San Francisco Examiner, which in
the present campaign is nothing if it is
not the representative OF the Popocratic
wing of the Democratic party, has an
nounced editorially the repudiation of Ca
tor as candidate for Senator by the DEM
ocratic end of Popocracy.
Commenting upon the statement OF
Judge Campbell of San Bernardino County
that Mr.. Gator has been indulging in
rather anarchistic views, the Examiner an
nounced that 'ff Gator seriously expressed
such sentiments as those attributed 10 him
he is ms snifestly unfit for the senatorship.

CONSERVATIVES DEMOCRATS.

The capture of the Chicago convention
by the radical wing of the Democratic
party afforded conservative Democrats
an opportunity to make manifest TO
the people the quality and the nature OF
their patriotism, and most nobly have
they met it. The American people can
regard with no little satisfaction the atti-
tude of many a man who has long been
considered Bourbon partisan. but who
in this crisis has proven himself to be
worthy of his American citizenship and
capable of openly renouncing his party
when it menaces the welfare of the Re-
public and its honor as nation.
In every section of the Union, Demo-
Gratis of high and low degree have shown
in the clearest manner that they set pa
triotism above party. North and South.
East and West and each particular State
has furnished examples of true Demo-
Gratis who in this campaign have made it
sure that they stand for country first,
country last and country with stainless
honor all the time"
The names of great Democratic leaders
such as Clev land, Carlisle, Wilson, Whit
ney. Hill ana all that goodly company
which met in convention at Indianapolis
and nominated Palmer and Buckner in
order that the flag of Democracy might
be carried by loyal hands through the
contest will long be remembered in the
annals of American history, and they
shall never be without honor among the
people.
1t is not these leaders only, however, to
whom honor is due. Many a man not
widely known and whose name has per-
haps never been published even in his
local paper has in this crisis come forth to
show to the world what true American
citizenship is. Every county and eyerv
village has its sterling Democrats who
have refused to follow Bryan. These men
not known to fame should receive from
their neighbors the honor which the press
cannot give them. 1t should be made
known to them by thousand testimonials
of personal respect and esteem how much
the community values their citizenship
and how truly their services in the cause
of good government are recognized by all
who know them.
These conservative Democrats whether
they follow the banner of Palmer and
Buckner or whether with more resolute
determination TO redeem their party from
tie taint of Organism they have openly
announced themselves as supporters of
Mckinley and Hobart are men OF that
breed and character which constitutes the
vital element of the American people. So
long as men set the welfare of the country
above the success of their party so long as
in all the walks of life from the highest to
lowest there can be found stalwart parti-
sans who put into practice the principle,
HE serves his party best who serves his
country BEST" so long will the American
Republic be safe from any danger of civil
disturbances resulting from party strife,
The action of these Democrats. there
fore, may we'll be regarded as a matter
upon which the people of the country can
congratulate themselves. 1t is another
evidence to confirm the faith that a
government of the people by the people
and for the people shall not perish from
the face of the EARTH.

a NATIONAL LOSS.

The death of ex Speaker Crisp of
Georgia Is a loss to the whole American
people. The foremost statesman of the
South. he ranked among the most emil
nent leaders of the Nation. Firm and in
tense in his partisan hip, he was never
theless one of those wise leaders OF parties
who know and practice the principle that
he serves his party best who serves his
country best.
His loyalty to the party to which he be-
longed was most strikingly proven by his
refusal of an appointment to the United
States Senate, when to have accepted it
would have deprived the Democratic
party of bis services in the House. Mr.
Crisp, like ali other American statesmen,
had long cherished an ambition to enter
the Senate. His health had been weak
ened and his strength broken by his
ar6uous service to mis- party, and an ac-
cession to the quieter arena of the Senate
would have been to him not merely the
qualification of an ambition but a relief
from labor that might have prolonged his
life. New rtheless, when on the death of
Senator CoIquitt the appointment was
offered him by the Governor OF Georgia he
declined it, because the Democrats of the
House of Representatives requested him
to do so in order that he might continue
to guide ana direct them in the hard fight
then being made for the passage of the
Wilson tariff bill.
There are abundant evidences that since
the war he has been as loyal to the Nation
as to his party. A man of broad mind
wide reading and large experience he was
an influence in the House of Representa-
tives that counted much for the dignity
and effectiveness OF that body. The only
Democrat in the House who was In any
way match for Tom Reed, his adership
of the Democratic party raised the debates
in Congress TO degree OF learning and
eloquence which made them instructive to
the people. We have had few men at
Washington more skilled in parliamentary
law. and he never needed to resort TO
wrangling and merely obstructive tactics
in order to maintain any cause which was
entrusted to him.
His loss will be greatly felt by the Dem
ocrats when Congress meets again. 1t
will then be seen how large a place he
filled in Congressional life and how vaiu-
able his services were to his party and to
the Republic. In the sadness occasioned
by the announcement of his death the
people of the United States will overlook
his faults and remember only his genius,
his craftsmanship and his patriotism.
Georgia will have the sympathy of her
sister States in this loss of her greatest
leader, and the mourning of Nation will
show itself in the solemn symbols OF
remembrance sent to his funeral from all
parts of the Union.
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-25
THE GRAND PARADE.

The action taken at the citizens meet
| ing yesterday makes it certain that the
parade TO be held on Saturday will be
something more than partisan demon
stration. 1t will be a manifestation of the
fact that conservative Democrats as well
as loyal Republicans will vote on election
day for Mckinley and Hobart as the
champions not only of protection and
prosperity, but OF the maintenance of the
dignity of American law and the integrity
of American honor.
In such a denomination every good
citizen should take part. As many as
possible should join the parade. Those
who cannot should decorate their business
houses along the line of march with an
ners declaring their devotion to the great
cause and with the stars and stripes the
emblem of National unity and inde-
pendence. No citizen of San Francisco
should shirk his duty on that day. Poll
tics in this contest means not only busi-
ness but patriotism. and San Francisco
should show by every evidence that her
voice and her vote will b. on the side OF
honesty, prosperity and good citizenship.
The march OF the American people has
been always onward and upward. 1t will
take no backward step now. Great Dem
ocraJs unite with great Republicans in
rallying the people to contest with Bry-
anism. Supporters OF genuine Democracy
find in the main issues of this campaign
that the vital principles of their party are
essentially the same as the fundamental
principles of Republioanism. Leaders
like ex-Minister Phelps, and many an
other stalwart Democrat have not hesi-
tated to declare that in this contest they
Will not waste their votes on Palmer ana
Buckner, but will vote and work for the
Republican ticket.
In this unity of sentiment there is an
inspiration for every citizen. Since the
greatleaders OF the Nation are united why
should not the people unite? The decora-
tions along the lines OF march next Satur-
day ought to be so continuous from house
to house as to form an unbroken display
of civic patriotism. 1t should appear as
nigh unanimous. 1t should have it in
every proof OF a spontaneous outburst of
popular enthusiasm.
On this day OF rest and leisure every cit
izen has an opportunity to think over the
importance of the issues at stake and
what he shall do during the coming week.
To this thou ht, therefore, should he di-
rect his mind. Let him consider what he
can do most effectively to maintain the
greatness of the Republic, to evInce the
patriotism of the people and to promote
Its welfare. Let him plan the banners and
decorations which shall display his con-
Yiction and let him resolve to take an ac-
tive part in welcoming Tom Reed to San
Francisco, and assuring the vote of Cali
fornia for Mckinley and Hobart.

difference to the party whether he be
revolutionist or not"
This express reputation of Mr.. Gator
comes little early, it is true, but it is
none the less a strict fulfillment of proph-
ecy. From the earliest announcement of
the fusion scheme for electing Popuiist
Assemblymen and Democratic Senators
throughout the State, which was the re-
suit of an understanding between Mr.. Ca
tor and Senator White, THE CALL has re-
peatedly declared that the Populists were
being bunkoed and that their candidate
for United States Senator would be undone
by the Democrats. There has been abun-
dant evidence, as the campaign has pro-
ceeded, that such would be the case and
that wherever Republican candidates for
the Legislature were defeated by the aid of
Populist votes the winner would either be
Democrat or Populist who had been
Democrat before and was only waiting for
election to Office to go back into the fold.
The "feolish and incendiary remarks"
OF Mr.. Gator have evoked a rather prema-
ture announcement of the Democratic
purpose. If the Populists OF California
have had any lingering doubts as to what
that purpose is they are now removed in a
most unmistakable way. Mr.. Gator is not
the Democratic candidate for the senator
ship. He will not, therefore, re ceive the
support of such Democrats as the Populist
vote may succeed in electing to either
branch OF the Legislature. He IS thus
robbed of his last hope of election and
ought to advise his party that the bargain
between himself and Mr.. White is off, and
that for whatever support they may give
to Democratic aspirants for the Legisla-
ture they may expect nothing in return.
The situation of the Populist party OF
California with reference to this matter is
in no sense unique. 1t is nothing more
nor less than a sample of the game of
bunko which is being played at the ex-
pense of the Populists all over the coun-
try. When the campaign is over and our
prophecy with reference to the undoing of
Mr.. Gator has found its full and final vim
dication he will not be alone in the reali-
cation of the outrage of which he is the
victim. With Mr.. Watson and the other
leaders of his party who, at St. Louis,
were beguiled into deserting the middle
of the road. Mr.. Gator will be united in
grief. When the period OF mourning is
over they will find it not at all easy to
extricate the Populist party from the
ditch of disaster and defsat into which it
has fallen through the over-anxiety of its
leaders for Office at any cost.
