Kenrney Did Not Break ~ Up.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 9-Much
interest was centered i'm the meet
ing of Workingmen called by the
County Committee at Horticul-
tural Hall last evening, as it was
believed it would be test whether
such meeting could be held with
out being broken up by Kearney
and his crowd. Kearney had vir.
tually given notice that he would
be on hand and run matters in his
own way. At half past o'clock
the crowd began to assemble, and,
by 8 O'Clock the spacious hall was
filled. Everything was quiet until
the meeting was opened. Nj. w.
Willis, the well known band
master, was called to the chair
without opposition, and he intro
duced as the first speaker A. Cans,
who was expelled from the Elev-
enth Ward Club last night for his
opposition to Kearney.
Before he commenced Police Ser
great Harmon believed himself of a
brief and pithy speech, to the effect
that the first man who created a
disturbance would be arrested by
the police, about fifty of whom
lined the sides of the hall.
Mr.. Cans began by reading the
call of the County Committee for a
meeting of all opposed to one-man
rule in the party. At the cOnclu.
sion of the reading, the Kearney
party, who formed strong major
ity of those present, at once set up
a chorus of coughing, catcalls, etc.
In the instant, the police muzzled
one of the most prominent disturb
ers and hustled him out of the hall.
Cans then reviewed the history of
the movement for the last few
months, including the schism Great
ed by Kearney and the Open Let.
ter. He was frequently interrupted
by applause from his own party
and occasional groans and cheers for
Kearney, but the prompt action of
the police at the outset tended to
keep that faction quiet.
H. l.. Knight was the next speak
err and was received with a chorus
Of cheers and groans. He made a
sensible, moderate speech, dwelling
upon the purpose Of the party and
the discussions that had arisen in
its ranks on account of Kearney's
domineering spirit. He also was
occasionally interrupted by cries of
the opposing factions, but nothing
thai could be considered n disturb
ance arose, though it was evident
that the speaker was the principal
target for the spite of the Kearney-
ties.
Mr.. Mills next made u speech,
mainly directed against what he
termed concentrated capitalists.
While he was speaking Kearney,
who had not made his appearance
in the hall, opened a street meeting
outside, and perhaps five hundred
of those prese mt In the hall joined
him. This left his remaining ad-
herents in the hall with but little
backing, and, during the remain
der Of the meeting, almost perfect
order reigned.
Judge q. b. Ladd was the next
speaker and received most quiet
and respectful hearing, devoting
his attention to what he deemed
necessary reforms to be considered
in the coming Constitutional Con-
vention, including the recrganiza-
ton of the Executive, Legislative
and Judicial branches of the Gov
eminent and the imposition of tax
alton on land alone.
Edward Fair next addressed the
meeting briefly, and was followed by
Frank Rooney, the newly elected
Chairman of the Executive Com.
mittee. His appearance was the
signal for some expressions of
disapprobation from q few of those
present, but the meeting was evil
IDENTIFY with him and he spoke his
piece without hindrance.
P. D. Moore addressed the meet
ing in O few rousing remarks
which were we'll received and the
Chairman, after thanking those
present for their attention, declared
the meeting adjourned.
After the hall had been cleared
and closed, the police formed line
in the street and addressed them
selves to the task of dispensing the
Kearney crowd, which was effected
without active resistance but at
tended with considerable hooting
from the Kearneyites.
The result may be considered as
proof that very large and, by far,
the most respectable portion Of the
Workingmen's party in this city
has seeded from Kearneyism, pure
and simple, and pronounced in favor
of lawful mode of procedure.
There were probably three or four
thousand persons in the hall, OF
whom, apparently, not more than
one.third were partisans of Kear-
ney, although he had made great
efforts to muster his forces for the
purpose of capturing the meeting.
| Taking this as an Indication of the
| general feeling in the ranks of the
party, it may be considered that the
dictator finds himself with q minor.
ity of the party at his back and
with all its best elements arraigned
against him.
