When Dennis Kearney, the San Fran
cisco agltatcr, arrived at the Sherman
House in Boston yesterday morning a
great crowd gathered OUTSIDE, cheering
and calling for him. 1t was suggested to
him thar, If it were possible, he had
better say few words to the people,
when they would quietly disperse. He
acceded to the request, and, without
waiting to don his vest and coat, was
escorted to a front window In the ladies'
parlor. He was dressed in a dark print
SHIRT and navy blue pantaloons. and in a
rather Involvement position spoke
through the open window to the audience
below. His remarks, though brief, were
suffic cient TO show that the man is a
natural orator with ready use of words,
forciable utterance, aud speaking deli ber-
ately and with effect, sending every
word home He spoke as folio ws:-

"Our wat is death to monopoly, death
to deLased capital, death TO Mongollan

slavery, and death upon death to politi-
Cal plunderes-b -bloodsuckers of all parties.

Will make this fight by the Dallot-that
power which in the hands of free people
is welded more potentially than the
sword of monarchies. (Cheers.)
"Friends, i have been misrepresented.
The Associated Press news gatherers,
working in the interest of unscrupulous
thieves and depraved press, have dis
torted my sayings in their insane and
hellish attempt lto fasten on free people
the shackles of a slavery worse than
death. The San Francisco Chronicle has
a special representative here to telegraph
back events in the interest of truth and
honesty. We propose to do in the East
what we did in the West. Meet capital
with labor in fair fight and crown la
Dor king" Great applause.)
After the Sherman House reception

to Brighton, where a small delegation
met MEM Mrs Kearney rushed out,
and embracing her son, exclaimed
"Dennis, my boy did Fever expect to
see you again?"
She had not seen him for fourteen
years. During the afternoon delegations
of the various Labor and Greenback or
ganizations called and paid their re-
Spects.
