thos that reached the core of all hearts

thos that reached the core of all hearts
in the audience.
Always fair and courteous in his treat
ment of those who held divergent views,
there was an utter absence of the ad
captandum style of stump oratory about
Mr.. saddresswhich, could not help
but win admiration from all fair minds.
In this respect it was model which all
speakers on political topics might imi-
tate with great advantage.
All this is a good deal to say Of a
speech, but it is all true, and all the
truth has not yet been told about it.
Perfectly as the sentences were mould
ed, beautiful as the diction was, telling
as were the anecdotes and pat the IL
Illustrations, though the logic was keen
and the craftsmanship displayed pro-
found, there is another element about
Mr. Bryan's style of address that out
weighs all these. He is cold as Damas-
Gus blade in his logical analysis of
principles, he is always PROFOUNDLY
thoughtful in his treatment of his topics.
He Is scarcely poetical in speech, nor
fervid in his manner. But he is sincere
through and through. To his soul he
believes what he says. He is magnetic,
not because he lifts his hearers to the
blue empyrean of thought by flights of
impassioned rhetoric, but he is magnetic
because he stays with the every day
subjects of thought on which hinge the
prosperity and happiness Of the plain
people, and he impresses them with
feeling of heartfelt sympathy, with e
feeling that he means every word he
says and believes in every principle he
advocates.
William Jennings Bryan has spent one
day in Los Angeles. He goes away and
leaves behind him the impression of a
man of most statesmanlike faculties, of
deep popular sympathies and of most
thoroughly honest conviction in the
course he advocates. The impression he
leaves behind him is that of one of the
greatest men our country has produced,
the impression Of a man great in intel
lect and heart. He leaves with us a
memory whose fragrance will not wane
between today and that day in 1900 when
Los Angeles city and county in the state
of California will roll up majority of
startling magnitude, which, with like
majorities in other states will land him
at the helm of the ship of state, one of the
deepest human sympathies who has
been elevated to this exalted position to-
rank with Washington, Jefferson, Jack
son and Lincoln as one of the great

would have been in Washington today
instead of on the Pacific coast.
1t was publicly declared and believed
that Major Mckinley was favorable to
bimetallism. His speeches in congress
warranted that belief. The platform
placed him squarely on the international
bimetallic basis-no matter what his pri-
vate opinions might have been. He
practically said to the people of the
United States that if they would elect
him president he would give them an
administration based on that platform,
which would strive honestly to bring
about concert of nations in favor of
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
Major Mckinley made promises that
President Mckinley has never at
tempted to redeem in good faith. 1t is
true that he appointed a commission
to visit European nations and secure
their endorsement of a proposition to
open the mints of the world again to
silver. This was carrying out the letter
of the platform to promote" inter-
national bimetallism, but not the spirit
of that document. His administration
is like the tramp hunting for job, but
hoping that he will not find it. AS evil
dence Of this, one of his first acts as
president of the United States was the
appointm of recognized single gold
standard banker Mr.. Gage, as secretary
of the treasury. With such an advisor
in such a position no one could expect
his administration to honestly favor the
double Observation-Disclosures with the con-
sent or without the consent of other
nations. In making that appointment,
President Mckinley declared to the
world-and it was so understood-that
his administration would be conducted
on the single standard gold basis, and
in taking this course he was not only
honoring another draft from the banks
of the country for money advanced for
campaign expenses, but he was acting
dishonesty with the great army of
international bimetallists who voted for
him last November.
The Republican party is therefore
guilty of getting votes under false pre-
tenees, which is as much of a crime as
getting money in the same way. They
promised to work for interna tional BIZ
metallism when they intended to adopt
the single gold standard policy and
force it upon the nation against the
wishes Of large majority of the people
of the United States. There is no other
solution Of this question

Hawaii Not a Source Of Strength

A st. Petersburg newspaper advises
Europe not to let us annex Hawaii and
Cuba, lest the strength of the United
States in the New World become dam
gerously great. The Russians needn't
worry. If the course to which they OBJ
ject were followed, its effect would be
the reverse of strengthening and the
talk about it ought, therefore, to re-
move the apprehension of the dear Mus
covites, not add to them.-New York

CALIFORNIA OPINION
The EARLY Morning Service

The Los Angeles morning papers were
on the streets of this city early this
morning and shortly after 6 o'clock they
were speeding across the waters in that
good little boat La Paloma to serve the
summer guests at Avalon with the lat
est news from the seat Of war, and the
latest morsel of putrefaction dished out
by the Bradbury-Ward fast set." The
Hermosa and La Paloma met abou-
midway between this port and the island
and the little boat slowed down long
enough to throw the papers aboard the
incoming steamer. The service is great
ly appreciated by the public all along
the line.-San Pedro American.
