st of cheers. the President said: Fellow
r;tzens-The past political acts of Mr.. Con-
ooss in California are sufficient to Introduce
liz, n YOU without the aid of anything
can say. (Cheers.)
AFR CONFESS said Mr. Chairman, ladies
o,d fellow citizens of San Francisco ap-
near before you this evening for the first
time.
At the Convention, recently held in the
oitv of Sacramento by the Union Democracy
If This State, ! was selected, as you all
Gnow rs candidate for the high office of
Governor of this common wealth. Prior,
however. to the action of that Convention,
for MANY weeks prior to it, the press of your
citv teened with the most bitter and might
saw scandaous, villihcaton of my character
90 a public man. 1t was stated and told you
that had no status in the State amongst its
,,oonle or lis prominent men that had no
s,atus in the State among men of integrity,
or its men laying claim to pride Of character;
that in this city had no friends; that there
was no part of the population here who
would endorse me for that or any other pub
lie station. The result of the Convention re-
Gently held in Sacramento is a sufficient com
ment upon the truth of the statements made
through portion of the public press of your
city, in this connection. Cheers. | will
not spend time to repeat the many charges
that have been Illuminated against me by
that portion of the press to which | refer
If 1.-THE of them were true if there were
any truth in them if either in spirit or sub
stance they deserved the consideration of
honest or honorable men, say most frankly
and freely TO you tonight, would be un-
deserving Of the suffrages of yourselves, or
eff any other portion of my fellow citizens.
GApI,lause1 1t has been represented that /
stand identified with schemers, with men
leagued together for the purpose of plumber
ing this great city, taking away its inheri-
lance and depriving its citizens of their prop
erty and the means of their material wealth.
what truth there are in these accusations,
bear a while with me this evening while |
discuss. | would have been glad, fellow cit
liens, to have given the burden OF my brief
discourse TO you this evening to other topics =;
and before | close | will endeavOr to make
other references than of the class | am now
about to engage in. But it has become nee
essary, not simply for the vindcation OF my
character but for the vindcation of the party
that have generously put me forwprCbas their
candidate for high and distinguished sta
ton, that should at least set myself night,
and, if am blameless IL deed, act or inten-
ton, that it should he knowni and it is par
ticularlv due to them that here, where those
,.;l,rors nrotcbos reside I shoulJ fix the
