Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-05-01

Cabe: I suspect him because he
came into the State Convention
falsely representing himself from
the Typographical Union.
McCabe-I denounce you as
liar.
Kearney-Don't call me liar!
McCabe Shaking his fist in Kear-
ney's face)-You are liar, and
don't you assail me. l know you
are liar, for you have been telling
lies all night here.
Kearney-I protest, Mr.. Char
man, against being called a liar.
McCabe sprang into the floor to-
wards Kearney, who retreated.
McCabe said, reaching for Kearney,
~ call you liar, for you are one"
Kearney replied: 81 suspect all
the men at the head of this move
ment, and will always fight them
as would fight my mother If she
gave me cause. | will now give
way, thanking you for your atten-
ton, submitting to the decision OF
the majority"
McCabe-I regret, Mr.. Chairman,
to say that Mr.. Kearney has fallen
in my estimation to night below
zero. L have heard his veracity
criticised in print. He has made SO
many mistakes this evening that
he has fallen low down. He is be-
coming a man of suspicious and is
growing suspicious of every man
who differs with him in opinion.
One of the members of our Typo
graphical Union (Galvin) called at
tention, in his Club, to the fact of
the Open Letter only paying COM
positOrs forty cents per thousand
| instead of fifty, and for that he was
lampooned and blaekmailed with
skull and crossbones in that id,
Internal, dirty, Matchmaking sheet,
the Open Letter. | say now, as l
said then, that man that does that
is a dirty dog.
Kearney-That is not parliament
tary.
McCabe-When Kearney started
out in those meetings at the sand
lots, his abuse of Stanford and the
Central Pacific Railroad Company
was awful, but Kearney inter-
viewed Mr.. Stanford aud has not
used Stanford's name on the sand
lots since.
Kearney-Ah, yes; l have.
The papers have not reported it
so.
Kearney again took the stand
and John Linehan got the floor
and remarked, Kearney says he
will view me with suspicion"
Kearney-Iill take that back and
saw may.
Linehan-Yous said you would. l
was unanimously elected President
of the Seventh Ward Club. My
countrymen know | am honest,
and I don't care whether Mr.. Kear-
ney thinks l am or not. 1t Is not
in his boots to view me with sus.
picion. My countrymen do not,
and if | cali mass meeting of my
countrymen they will sustain me.
If am to be viewed with suspi-
cion, 1 don't want anything more
to do with the party. / don't care
anything about the suspicion so far
as coming from Mr.. Kearney. /
shall not be dictated to by him.
Last night | advocated the pas
sage of these rules on my own re-
sponsibility, and my name was the
only one that appeared in connec-
ton with the rules, and to-day L
have been assaulted on all sides
with the inquiries, "Has Kearney
sold out, and are you party to
it?n L tell him that if / call a
meeting of my countrymen | can
get a better backing than lie can,
and right here | challenge him to
come before my countrymen.
After good deal of discussion,
| the vote to reconsider was carried,
and motion to refer to the State
Convention was carried by vote
of to G, Kearney voting in the
negative. Before Il conclusion was
arrived at
McCabe said that any man who
denomiuated him as traitor, or
made personal attack on him, he
would hit in the mouth.
Kearney denied having done
anything of the sort.
1t was resolved to publish the
call of the Com mittee.
