Springfield Republican: One member of
the Philadelphia city council makes oath
that he has reason to believe that dis
honor and corrupt methods were employ
ed TO secure the lease of the public gas
works to the private syndicate now oper-

theiesS, votes almost unanimously against
an investigation. This must be regarded
as in the nature of contirmatory evidence

Dissatisfaction with the existing condi-

the hall filled with the very best element OF
California citizenship that ever assembled
in any state convention In our great COM
monwealth. These delegates, coming from
all over the state, represented the morality,
intelligence and principle OF the true Re
publican party prior to 1896. and Waters
and his associates are renegades ana tufE-
coats, running campaign on misrepreseh-
tat.on and fa!sehood. All candid men must
concede tina. most Of the coalition party Is
composed of men of brains and moral In
|tegrity, who are actuated by pure motives,
prompted by an adherence to principle,
while the rank and file OF the so-called Re-
publican party are there because they have
more devotion to party than love OF prin-
c;ple or country. If the st. Louis conven-
tion had adopted the free silver and god
plank adopted by our renegade Republicans
at Sacramento two years ago, every moth
er's son of them from Mexico to Oregon, all
up and down this long coast, would today be
shouting for bmetall.sm, instead Of fer
gold monometallism.
And such a leader as they have in Mark
Hanna! No thinking man doubts that he
used the millions Of money contributed by
corporations to corrupt the people and de-
feat their will in the election of 1896. and
then bribed his way into the United States
senate. Mark Hanna ought to be in the
pcnitentiary. or else in the s0p bucket of
