On taking the chair Col PeytOn ssid
FELLow.CIrIzEss-The object Of this meeting has
| been announced to you by the chairman OF the Com
uitee On the evening Of the 10Th inst. preliminary
meeting was held at the auction rooms OF Mr. Mid e.
ton at which resolutions were adopted ndorsing tue
action of the Vigilance Committee, ana a&skihg ask tne
| Governor to withdraw his proclamation. The object
Of this Getting is to ndose those resolutions and get
expression of the public will upon the matters NO
occupying public attention. am s.ad see .t
the call Las been promptly responded to, and the
meeting 60 largely attt ded. We here to consioer
principles of the tirt magnitude, and which may result
ID the sLeddng of much innocent blood. One OF the
objects Of this meeting is 10 prevent so cre caoty'
and your action to day may do much toward securing
| this iesult-one which we all desire The vigilance
| Committee must be sustained or must be put down.
II they put down, 1t must be at the point OF the
bay onet The question: then, is whether we shall ap-
peal to the Governor to put them down IN this way,
or whether we shal ask him to withdraw his oppo-
| sition to body Of citizens who represent the
r;oIa nf he
| known and familiar 10 you all. The little band who
oppose the Conn tee claim that there is no necessity
for tn organization or for revolution OF the gov
| eminent | am frank to cay that ! take issue with
them; and now declare that there no other rem
ecy to redress wrongs which we have suffered tor
years until the fountain of government had become
corrupt by the frauds and impOstiors practced upon
the ballotbOx In this country, and under govern
ment like Ours, each man is sovereign, and the peO
ple are the sove eiens of all law each OF whom have
an equal right to cay who shal be their rulers. ssk
you then fellow citizens, if we in San Francisco has
ever bad government based upon the free popular
will of the legal voters 7 Many voices-No, no. mol
Those who have made our laws have done so without
| authority; and those who have executed them Were
aho unauthorized by the will Of their constituents. Tney
they have acted with forged ones-and in this manner
foirted themselves and their obnoxious lava upon U.s.
Every citizen has right to go to the polls and there,
by hs vote express his viii freely to who shall rule
| US. But what chance has q man IN San tranci.co
against this Internal patent box which they have
brought into use Homes. people may go and vote,
but Muilgan neutraize all their votes by
| single touch of this complicated machinery. You
might well 60 into harvest field with an DID, com
moD rusty, primitive reappg sickle, against of
McCOimick's double hoise, patent improved reaping
machines, and expect TO compete with 1t, a. to get
fairness when these fellows use these boxes. With
the partners Of the candidates TO watch over and
range the ballot bo1es ard set of buies and rufans
to knock down boneet people, what chance have you
