Frank McCoppin, the newly elected
Mayor Of San Francisco, lisa man about
10 years of age; a noble hearted man,
as fond of a joke as a frolicsome boy Of
IL. He is a ~son-in-law of Van Ness,
ex-Mayor of San Francisco, and author
of the celebrated Van Ness Ordinance.
Personally, he is eminently fit to be the
chief dignitsry Of the Metropolis Of the
Pacific. The Bulletin has abused him
ever since he was elected Supervisor
from the Eleventh Ward, seven or eight
years ago, aud he has proportionately
enjoyed the confidence and esteem of
his fellow citizens.
