SAN FRANCISCO, May THE
Workingmen's club of the Thlrt
Precinct, Twelfth Ward, a week age
passed q resolution supporting the
County Committees contest with
Kearney. Last night the club re-
considered the vote by which that
resolution was adopted, whereupon
all the officers resigned and left,
taking with them their adherents.
They were followed shortly by
most of the club, who began to re-
greet their action. An attempt was
made by the remainder to elect
new officers, but by the time they
got down to balloting only four
men were left in the room, who ad.
journed sine die. The club was
practically broken up by the con.
fiicting interests.
The Second Ward club met at
Scalley's Hall last night. This
club at its last meeting also passed
a resolution supporting the County
Committee. Last night Kearney
invaded the meeting with about
one hundred of his followers, took
charge of the proceedings, rescind.
ed by show of hands the former
action of the club, and demanded
the recall of members to the County
Committee. The whole proceed
ing was of the most higll-handed
and outrageous character.
The Executive Committee of the
State Central Committee of the
Workingmen's party met last eve-
ming and formally deposed Kearney
from his position as chairman.
They will tomorrow issue an ad.
dress reciting their action and stat.
ing that Kearney, though still a
member Of the party, has no right
to assume any authority whatever.
Frank Rooney was elected to the
position of chairman of the Com.
mittee. Wellock, who was present,
attempted to bull-doze the Commit.
tee, but signally failed.
Charges Against Kear npy.
SAN FRANCISCO, May It'll.
During tile meeting of the Work
ingmen's Executive Committee
last evening, w. A. Helm stated
that he had proofs that Kearney,
Wellock and Redstone put up the
ticket OH which Senator Bones was
elected; also that Kearney had re-
ceived or was to receive $4,000
from Flood & O'Brien, and further
that Kearney had offered a man a
salary to solicit subscriptions for
the Workingmen's Temple Fund
as it was absolutely necessary that
he should obtain funds. He want.
ed the statement made public SO
that Kearney might bring suit
against him If he liked.

SAN FRANCISCO, May THE
State Central Committee of the
Workingmen's party of California,
to the officers aud members of the
party, and to all others whom it
may concern:
Friends and Eello,O. Citizens
At last, under imperative necessity,
this committee has deposed Dennis
Kearney from the position of Pres
ident of this party and chairman
of this committee. HenceforIh he
is no more than a member of this
committee, and neither honored
nor trusted even in that capacity.
We have been impelled to this
course by the following consider.
atoms: 1st. Because said
Dennis Kearney has, from
the first, assumed the role
of q dictator who would
brook no opposition to his will, sus.
pecting everybody of treason who
dared to differ with him in opinion.
I'd, Because, without specifying a
single fact to support his accusa-
tons, lie has charged all the officers
of the party with being wire
pullers, political trlcksters, traitors
and thieves. Sd, because, failing
to carry out his despotic designs
within the constitution and laws OF
the party, he has undertaken TIC set
them aside, and, Of his own will,
aided by promiscuous meeting at
the sand lots, to revolutionizs the
party, make himself its dictator
and take supreme control of its
affairs. 4th, because he is more
than suspected Of selling out to the
enemy. Grave charges have been
made against him and are now
under Investigation, which, il
proven, place the mark of
Cain on his own brow
which he is so ready to bestow OIL
others. 5th, because of late he has
displayed a lack of truthfulness
and honor which unfit him for the
high position of Chairman of this
Committee or President of this
party. 9Th, because his language
and his manners show him to have
no regard for the rights of others,
for the decencies of civilized life
AMI the inalienable rights OF
American citizens. 9TH, be.
cause we doubt his perfect
sanity. Such conduct a. his, In de-
