THE woRxINGMESs, REVOLUTION.

-
workingmsn was held in Horticultural
Hall. San Francisco. II was called by
tho lesders OF the genuine laboring men,.
and lis avowed object was to repudiate
Dennis Kearnsy and the gang Of hood.
lums and cut throats who follow him.
A month ago such a meeting would have
been au impossibility. The blatant hum
bug would have rallied his band Of ruf-
fans. captured the hall. and turned the
meeting into . demonstration against
Law. order and dscency. He did that
once at Platt's Hall. and he tried to do
il again at Horticultural Hall last night.
His gang was there in force. but his
prestige had gone. As President Of the
workingmens' Party Of California. he
was all powerful ; ~ depossd leader.
he is as weak as any other BLACKBOARD
who depends upon the torch and the
rope for arguments. Last night he acted
as Dennis Ksarnsy. the voluntary outlaw.
not ~ the representative Of q great and
powerful element OF the community.
That element had r~epudiatsd him. the
s~neaking time servers on the police force
trimmed their sails To catch the new
breeze. and the hoodlums who attempted
to break up the meeting at his command.
were promptly suppressed.
Hsncsforth this screeching dema-
Agogus will no longer be able to create
any alarm in the minds Of the honest
law-abiding citizens Of San Francisco.
II will be easy now to deal with him
and the thieving element OF society
which huddles around him. He can no
longer appeal tn lawlessness in the
name OF the workingmen. His appeal
now must be to tho hooJlums and the
rabble OF the Barbary Coast. The little
ssmblanoe OF power which attached to
him for a time Is tho representative Of
the lsboring classes Of the great State OF
California. has been taken away. The
true workingmen. the men who have u
claim to sympathy and consideration ut
the hands Of the community. have re.
pudiated him. branded him as he de-
serves, as n traitor, n natural coward. aud
IN agitator with no respect for God or
man. lie is degraded and stunned by
oil decent men, and II he persists in his
Leadership OF the lawlsss classes OF the
Bay City. he will -oon lind himself
where he should have been long ago,
within the walls Of San Quentin. where
no will find plenty Of his " stripe to
mingls with and instruct in his peculiar
principles Of communism.
The action OF tho workingmsn Of
California in deposing this arrogant
knAvs from his self-assumed leadership.
and pursing their organization Of his
psrnicious presence cannot be too heart
ily approved by the general public.
They have purified themselves by de-
~nouncing communism in all its terrible
forms. and making their appeal to that
sense Of justice and fair play which is
so prevalent an element Of the Amer
lean character. They will receive JUS.
tics now: they will meet with fair play.
They have raised their party to a posi-.
ton from which it can command the
unqualified respect Of all fair.minded
men. Friends and sympathizers will
dock around them from all classes OF
society. Their demands will be re-
ceived with respect, discussed in a spirit
Of fairness. and 10 just and reasonable.

the right to appeal. Now that kearney

up for tho workingmen's Party OF Cal.

proper respect for the laws Of tho land
will most assuredly secure to tho work.

titled as q citizen OF this glorious Re.
public.
II Is but simple justice to give the
credit for this grand revolution which
has possibly saved the City Of San
Francisco from the torch. to those who
have been mainly instrumental in its
accomplishment. During the entire
reign Of terror which has disgraeed the
manhood Of the Bay City. the Alta has
never been silent. II has denounced
kearney and his hoodlums. first. last
and all the time. II has appealed to the
manhood Of the taxpayers. and to the
reason OF the laboring classes. and to
its strong. sensible editorials. more than
to any other Cause. Is due the awaken.
ing Of the true workingmen to a reali.
zation Of the fact that they were stand.
ing upon tho brink Of a precipiec. and
the deposition and population OF
the human fiend who stood ready to
hurl them over. All honor TO the Alta
and its management. 1t has proved.
indeed. tho savior OF the Golden City.
