teract the policies which he inaugural
ed This is the question for the voter
to consider when he casts his ballot.
The complexion of the next congress Is
q matter of far reaching importance 10
the country. So far as the .Recoro ID
concerned it's ideas in the matteE are
too well known to need reiteration he:e.
Those voters who believe IN the pom
cies of Republicanism and Mckinney,
the protection of American INDUSTRIES

ing on of internal improvements
through national aid, the annexation Vi

the maintaining of our natlonaI lhtes
rity and honor among the nations oi

enhancement of the republic will vote
for Frank D. Ryan for Congress.
FUSION AND FAILURE.
Oakland Tribune: California Is nn-
doubtedly witnessing her last fusion
campaign, for the defeat this time OF
tbe coalition will mean that the eie-
n,ents comprising it will realize that
such a movement is not popular Tlln
the masses of the people OF the stare.
In the first place, it is apparant 10
every reasoning individual that there
must be something radically wrong IN
q political system that permits FUSION.
IF the Democrats, Populists and Silver
Republicans are all of one faith why 90
they not all join together in one party
for all purposes and be done with 1t?
But no, Every one knows that IN
nd
are as unlike as are Democracy ana
Republicanism, while as tor the silver
Republicans. the mere distinguishing
name of the latter half of their title
shows that they have no place In the
Democratic ranks. 1t is not nara
though to find the reason why they are
all under one banner. They, or rather
their party organizations, have been
brought together by the professional Of
flee seekers of their respective faiths
These individuals, realizing that they
had no other way TO reach the pie coun-
ter, made mutual arrangement where
by this man was to take that place,
that man this one and so on.
THE ELECTIONS AND SPAIN.
Fresno Republican,: There are more
people interested in the result of the
coming election than will vote at IT..
Across the water eager eyes await the
cable message whose headlines will be
"Ihe President Sustained or 1.-THE
Administration Rebuked." Whatever
we may intend by our votes, the wcrid
will give them one or the other of these
meanings and will act on it's interpre-
taticn. The Spanish Commissioners in
Paris are playing for delay, not that a
few weeks, more or less, is of vital i'm
portance to them, but that they hope
the elections will go Democratic, that
they may embarrass the Administra
ton with the threat of European COM
plications and secure better terms by
claiming that the American people have
JUST registered vote of want of con-
fidence in the Government.
No American wants to play directly
into the hands of the Spanish Commits
sioners and no American who realizes
the situation will do so, but there will
be some who do not realize. 1t is for
each one to decide whether or not he
will be Of this number
IL the elections everywhere go over
whelmingly Republican the American
Commissioners will have such prestige
behind them that they can insist per-
emrtorlly on such terms as they
please and get them accepted
