ganized and differed and the platform
made and debated in open session by
w. J. Bryan for and David B. Hill
against, and adopted as the true prici-
pies of the Democratic party. A few
men like Belmont took the advice of
Cleveland and went off and formed a
new party, calling themselves ''The Ma
tional Democratic Party" and they
nominated Palmer, of Illinois, for Pres
ident. Mr.. Belmont was one of the
men in the New York delegation who
would not accept the platform of the
convention and vote for Bryan, but
took up the cry of traitor, anarchist
and dishonesty and went forth in aid
of Mckinley and his abettors. We
have no compromise and nothing to
reconcile with these men. They did
all they could to elect Mckinley, and
they did. Now they see that the COM
mon people, whom they deceived, are
determined to set aside this gold stand
ard policy. They see they have struck
a snag and Mckinley and his gold
standard ideas are becoming unpopular
and have seen their day. They see the
fruits of trusts, Imperialism, beef scan
dals and the dregs of the Dingiey
bill all stenching the nostrils of the
people with a stencil that stinks of de-
ception. deceit and vows and promises
betrayed and broken. They see the ris-
ing star of William J. Bryan and the
principles Of free silver, an income tax
and the overthrow of government by

the party; they went or their own Tree
will. No compromise will be offered
those who left, and no excuse will be
accepted from those who betrayed it to
have them return-the issues of 1860
will be the same as shey were in 90.

united Democracy. The Democratic
party is not to-day, nor never has it.,
divided on the issues laid down in the
Chicago platform. We admit there
were few men in that convention who
sulkcd and refused to be bound by the
action of the convention, simply be-
cause they were not Democrats and
only wanted an excuse to go where
they belonged. Cleveland was elected
by the Democratic party in 1892 Presi-
dent. He turned traitor to the prin-
ciples of his party by espousing those
of the Republican party on the money
question. He declared for the single
gold standard and became the tool of
corporations, syndicates and the money
power. They compelled him to refute
the former principles of his party and
to use his power to make gold the sole
unit of value, and the only legal money
for payment of debts. This accom-
plished, they created money syndi-
cate that controlled the gold and green
backs of the nation and compelled the
issue of bonds. In 1896 the Democratic
party seen it was necessary to wash
their hands and clean their domicile of
the great wrongs Cleveland and his fol-
lowers had perpetrated by this deal, so
as to get back to their former place in
the political arena When Jefferson
ian and Jacksonian principles formed
the basis for their actions, the platform
made at Chicago completely ignored

The Sunset Central float was the result
of the desire of the combined lines to as

shades, the stunning designs, the gorgeous
settings, seemed beyond all human com

The line OF march was crowded The
sidewalks along Main street were i'm
passable and traffic on the street was
stopped during the parade. The scene
along the route was brilliant one. Bright
ribbons flew to the breeze and the natty
dresses worn by the pretty girls gave the
scene an animated appearance.
The parade assembled along San Jacinto

a beautifully artistic canopy of Oriental

branches of Wisteria In bloom. and reach

NO SUPERINTENDENT WANTED.
Candidates for School Directors Will
Try to Abolish That Office.

BERKELEY, Feb. 23.-The Republican
Convention which meets In Shattuck Hall
next Saturday evening bids fair to indorse
platform which may result in seriously
compromising the position Of the party
before the voters of the city. 1t is now
definitely understood that the. Central
Committee in preparing its platforms in
tends to make a provision 20 the effect
that the appointive office OF City Superin-
tendent of Schools be entirely abolished.
and it will place in nomination a list of
Directors pledged to carry out that
policy.
AS reason for this line of action its
promoters are urging the ground OF I'M
necessary expense. With the Berkeley
public school system as 1t now is, having
a force of teachers only about fifty
strong, they hold that no occasion exists
for centralizing instruction to such an
extent as to make the work of a City
superintendent necessary. Each principal
of a grammar school, 1t is said, is capable
of managing everything under his charge,
and the work of supervision is only an
uncalled for drain upon the city'ss
treasury. Accordingly from motives OF
economy they will make an effort to do
away with what they claim is a needless
expenditure.
From appearances. however, It IL EVIL
