Immediately on his return from Illinois.
When asked IL he intended going to
Chicago soon, he replied that he had not
determined whether he would attend the
convention or not. During Governor
Boies' absence the interview with Mr..
Whitney was published and on his re.
turn his attention was called to a tele-
gram from the New York Herald ask
Ing his opinion In regard to the asser-
lions made in 1t. He wired his reply to-
night as follows:
Mr. Whitney is entirely right in his con-
ciusion that there Is no disposition on the
part or those who will represent the silver
sentiment OF the south and west In ,he
Chicago convention to further discuss tho
matter at issue with men whose views
are diametrically opposed to their own

correct In his conclusion thu. it Is not
too late to accomplish any practical re-
suits by discussion of that character.
Mr.. Whitney is entirely wrong in assum-
ing that free silver Democrats are forsak-
Ing the fundamental principles of DEM.
ocracy or that what he terms Sound
money Democrats" are defending these
principles in their endeavor to commit
their party to gold monometallsm. Until
the Republican party met In st. Louis
few days ago there was never a line writ
ten in national platform of either of
the great parties that justified the claim
that the one or the other Of these parties
were committed to that doctrine. To as

IGNORES A GREAT TRUTH.

When Mr.. Whitney says the mainte-
nance Of our present gold standard Is es-
sential to the preservation of our ma
tional credit and redemption of our pub
lie pledges he ignores a great truth of
which he cannot be ignorant. He knows
that there is not single obligation of
this nation outstanding today that by its
terms is payable in gold alone, and he
knows that right upon the face of the
great bulk Of the bonds of the government

that they are payable in coin Of the Unit

to so pay them. To talk about a viola

at the intersection of Van Ness avenue

CHICAGO, ILL, July 4.-Tnere may or
may not be some significance in the fact
that with the arrival of Senator Hill and
ex-senator Whitney of New York Teller
stock went up few points and his name
was industriously buzzed by convention
spoilers around the lobbies and in the diff
ferent headquarters. 1t may be that the
gold men, finding that their fight is ire
trievably lost, have determined to boom
Republican for the first place on the DEM
ocratic ticket in order that the stanch
Democracy of the country may be alb
solved from any ties of allegiance to the
party, the heading OF the ticket with the
name of a lifelong Republican being equiv
alent in their estimation to a surrender to
all party principles.
There is one memorable instance on
record in which the National Democracy
went outside of its own party and selected
q candidate for the Presidency. That can
didate was man of unblemished reputa-
ton, and one in whom the masses of the
people could be well supposed to place i'm
plicit confidence. But the members of the
party who had been sucked with the milk
of Democracy on the breasts of Democratic
mothers could not stomach so violent a
departure from political usages, such as
that was, and they repudiated Horace
Greeley at the polls. They felt that it
was an insinuation that within the ranks
of the party at that time no man could be
found sufficiently pure, sufficiently able,
sufficiently great or sufficiently~popula to
carry the standard of Democracy through
the smoke and turmoil of a heated cam

plauded, and particularly so on Kearny
street.
The parade moved at 1o:35. and it took
an hour for it to pass given point. 1t
was about two and half miles long.
All the floats attracted admiration.
Many hats went off to the queens,
Goddess of Liberty, "California'' and
others.
The model of the battle-ship Oregon, in
miniat ture, on a float, with brindle dog
for a mascot, was greatly admired. In
terest was intensified when it was seen
to belch fire, smoke and the noise of war
from genuine little guns, which pro-
truded from the turrets just as the big
guns do on the real Oregon down in the
bay getting her finishing touches. The
guns were elevated at an angle above the
crowds of people in the streets, and on
this account, though the charges were
strong enough to make plenty of noise,
only one man was hurt. But this was
not owing to any fault in the guns or
gunner.
standing on the corner of Market and
Montgomery streets watching the parade.
A fash from one OF the miniature guns of
the model of the battle-ship Oregon set
fire to one of the flags on the float. Vim
cent sprang forward to tear down the
burning flag, when another gun went off
and the wadding penetrated his right arm,
'inficting an ugly wound. He was taken
to the Receiving Hospital, where his
wounded arm was attended to.
People began to crane their necks when
the waving red, white and blue pampas
plumes of the hundreds of members of the
Junior Order of United American Me-
chanics came into sight. They were fol-
lowed by that weIl-known emblem of pa
triotism, sthe little red schooIhouse, I"
and both were frequently and enthusias-
tically applauded along the line of march.
The members of the japanese battalion,
with their unique uniforms, their how
itzer and carrying the beautiful cherry
blossoms, afforded one of the most pleas
ing sights of the parade. They were
much admired. In fact, on picturesque
ness, they divided the honors with any
other section OF the procession. The
Fujiyamas stepped with precision and
bore themselves with dignity. When the
howitzer was elevated, with its yawning
mouth threatening the heavens, and 1T
went off, and there was a spectacle of a
man frantically waving his arms in mid
air, the people wondered.
The co1ntermarch on Van Ness avenue
with the hill and clouds for a background,
and all the colors and streamers flying in
the breeze, and the scores of bands play
ing was most beautiful sight.
The procession was happily free from
any serious accidents or disturbances, and
the spectators spontaneously manifested
their appreciation of the parade as it
moved majestically along the line of march.
The small boy dotting in thousands the
brown pavement of the avenue and elud-
ing the vigilant policeman was very much
in evidence here, as along the entire line

The present year yields an ex-

IA ceIlent illustration of the earnest
patriotism of our people. All
citizens join lady in paying homage
to the anniversary of the Nations birth
day. Thus has it been since the founda-
ton of this magnificent metropolis.
Thus will it continue while the City
stands. The legend on our municipal
escutcheon is truly and nobly embIemstic.
In peace, we have gold tor our beloved
country. In war, we have steel for her
foes.
The people of the Golden Gate never do
anything by halves. The celebration of
the Fourth OF July of 1896 was no excep-
ton to this characteristic. 1t was COM
plete and enthusiastic. 1t had more flags
and tri-colored bunting and cheers and
red fire than ever before.
The parade was as spectacular as any
Fourth of July parade that has marched
with fife and drum and bugle and become
silent in the years gone by.
Market street presented a canopy of
futtering flags, tri-colored bunting, bril-
liant lanterns and pictures of Presidents
and patriots upheld by wires. The store
fronts we're, in many instances, almost
covered by National colors.
The principal streets and resorts were
packed with people all day long and far
into the night During the parade the
crowd was so dense that passage along the
streets and sidewalks was almost impossi-
bic except for those in the parade. The
decorations extended from the loot of
Market street almost up to Van Ness ave-
nue. on Kearny street almost down to Clay,
and on Geary, 0'Farrell, Grant avenue.
Post, Sutter and other streets for blocks
away from Market. Streaming proudly
through it all the flag of one nation only
was visib.e-the stars and stripes. The
tunes that the bands played oftenest were
the "Star-spangIed Banner Yankee
Doodle" Hail Columbia" and ssAmer-
ica." The patriotism displayed was for
one flag and one country.
The chief interest in the days events
was manifested by tae mass of the people
in the parade. 1t was little slow in be-
ginning to move, but when it finally got
under way it moved majestically. His
was a dry heart, indeed which did not
swell at the spectacle. Up Market street
it marched, an army carrying waving
plumes and futtering flags.
Above the spectators in the streets the
windows and roofs of the tall building
were filled with faces. Nobody seemed to
care very much if a cannon-cracker
dropped by the ubiquitous small boy went
OF under his feet. The greatest good
humor prevailed.
The chief marshals were resplendent in
their uniforms and sashes. Chief of Po-
lice Crowley made dienihed and fine APP
pearance in uniform.
Mayor Sutro was enthusiastically
cheered. He occasionally bowed his ac-
knowledgments from carriage adorned
with roses and wreaths.
