The San Francisco call., 1899-11-06
THE ELECTION TOMORROW.


\A| gatherings OF Saturday night, the arguments
and appeals OF the municipal contest closed.
To-day will be given to the work OF preparation for
the election and tomorrow the votes will be cast and
the issues decided according to the will OF the ma
iorty.
On the Republican side there has been conducted
campaign clean and clear The efforts made by
Phelan and his organs to divert attention from the
real issues at stake by setting spies to watch Repub
can candidates by day and by night by resorting to
vile carcatures and by charging with treason every
man who opposes Pheans reelection have failed OF
their purpose The interests at stake in the contest
remain distinct and unmistakable and it will be upon
their conceptions OF what will best serve these inter
ests that the intelligent voters OF the city will cast
their ballots
Men who believe in free silver and the other dec
larations OF the Chicago platform who sincerely
think that the uphoding OF the cause represented by
Bryan is essential to the good OF the community.
will OF course vote for the ticket headed by C. D.
Cleveland for that is the only ticket that represents
and stands for the principles adopted by the Demo
cratic and Populist fusion in 1896
Voters who care more for the Democratic name
than for Democratic principles. who would sooner
follow the McNab committee OF one hundred than the
Chicago platform, will vote for Phean, who in this
fight wears the livery OF Democracy and whose success
will be accounted throughout the Union as a
Democratic victory Strong Democratic partisans
will desire their party to have the prestige OF tr-
umph OF the Pacific Coast and WILL therefore be in
cIined to count municipal interests as OF secondary
importance to the election OF the Democratic ticker
The great mass OF intelligent voters will on the
other hand consider the interests OF the municipality
and OF the country rather than those OF parties They
are aware that the prevailing prosperity of the people
Is due to the policies advocated, adopted and main
tained by the Republican party Having to choose
between the party OF prosperity and the party OF
calamity they will vote for prosperity. On general
principles therefore, the vote OF business men, tax
payers workingnen will be given for the Republican
roinees in order that may be understood through
out the Union that San Francisco is on the side OF
protection, sound money, honest finance profitable
industry and good wages.
There are, moreover, many special reasons why the
independent voters as we'll as Republicans should
vote for the Republican ticket 1t is in every resnect
the strongest ticket presented to the people OF
San Francisco in a municipal contest The detectives
sent by the Phelan organs to track and trace the
Republican candidates to find out where they dine
and where they spend the nights discovered nothing
which the skill OF the takers could by nisrepresenta
ton distor into offense against either public or
private morality.
The Republican ticket is clean It stands for the
party OF prosperity in the nation and in the city It
made up OF men who represent the best elements oi
people 1t stands for progress and for economy
It has made no demagogic promises What it has
pledged that will II do It is the ticket for which all
loyal Republicans will vote and for which all inteli
gent citizens ought to vote for ii the ticket which
will best the interests OF all in the adninistra
ton OF municipal affairs.
