The San Francisco call., 1898-09-23
GEMS FROM DE YOUNG'S ALBUM
 OF THOUGHT.

has experienced a new birth The remade De
 Young retains enough of the old to show the process has not been complete. Neither has the 1 operation been an improvement. There seems to have been hitch, and he came out of the transfor nation worse than he went in This IS demonstrated by glance at the files of his esteemed paper as it essayed to mold opinion during tho Senatorial campaign of 1886 That series of issues constitutes veritable Album of Thought, and De Young would bury its gems and forget that he created them. Marvellous change; and all in dozen brief years.
 The Call has no personal fight to make upon De Young It realizes that he is not fit to be Senator that 1n selecting him for this high position the Re publicans would assume burden greater than they could bear that the people of California will not tol crate De Young and that bosses attempting to foist him upon the party will send the legislative ticket down to certain defeat and weaken the ticket from end to end. Therefore The Call thinks the present the proper time in which to express its vews which, to this matter in hand, are the views of the Repub lican hosts For years De Young has yearned for the office. He near 1t, and the exposure of his present tactics prevents him from being it now He is trying to make "still' hunt. We are interfering merely by projecting into the situation little wholesome noise. This is for the public good and not for the purpose of annoying.
 Despite the fact that quotations from De Young's own journal were freely given yesterday morning, some of them are so appropriate, so timely and breathe such sincere conviction, that they we'll worth presenting again. Here are few:
 September l5-Sareent can help in this matter If he wishes to. Let him ask the nominees who are favorable to his election to openly declare themselves.
 September l6-Why not demand of every man who wants to go to the Legislature what he intends to do when the time comes to vote for Senator? Nine-tenths of the men who will shortly be up for election win have to show their hands, and in this way the people of California may have Senator who is their very own choice.
 September 2O-Thin9s have come to a pretty pass-have they not? when a candi- date for the Legislature presumes to keep his intentions to the Senatorship secret from his constituents.
 October IS-Sareent had better throw off the mask and play a bold game.
 October 2I-The election of Sargent to the Senate would mean the defeat of the Repub- licans in this State in 1888.
 October 3O-Isn't 1t a farce that all this elaborate machinery should be put in motion to carry into the United States Senate a man whom the people, If they could cast direct vote in the matter, would retire to private life? There IS much more of the tenor. We coun- se Mr. de Young to read al substitute his name wherever that of Sargent appears and then he will understand the popular feeling. De Young is trying to do just what he accused Sargent of trying to do and should he succeed the effect will be precisely that outlined by himself twelve years ago. He has no chance Of realizing his ambition, and he is the only man, perhaps. Tn the State whom this fact has failed to impress If his political record were not enough to kill him, the editorials from his Album of Thought furnish the weapon with which he commits hara -kir
