kearney's COmmunISm.
BOSTON, August 6 The following
resolutions were adopted at the Kear,
ney meeting last night:
/ WHEREAS, This republic, instituted
for the avowed purpose of advancing
and conserving the interests of the
mass, has been reduced to plutocrscy
that employs the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties in the perfdious work
of establishing thleving monopolies
and class privileges that sap the blood
of national industries so that it can be
Tapped by the vampires of capital.
Whereas, ALI laws enacted that are
not in the direct and open interest of
the producing and labor classes are
crimes against the spirit and prosperity
of this republic, for which Legislators
should be branded with infamy of
criminal imprisonment.
Whereas, An infamous, if not a
criminal class, of legislation has been
heaped upon the industries of the ma
ton by political parties until the bur
den has become torture of the mass
from which there is no escape except
by uniting the material interests of the
producing and laboring people of all
classes in such political action as will
give them their rlghtful control of
State and national legislation, a privi-
lege of which they have been plum
dered, and thereby restore this govern
ment to the just and lofty purposes for
which it was instituted by our fathers !;
therefore,
ResOlUed, By the citizens of Boston,
in Fanueil Hall assembled, that it is
in the highest and trusst interest of
all industrial classes in New England,
that they should extead p. hearty, cor
dial and united support to Den
mis- Kesrney, the great and efficient
apostle of the laboring classes of
California, VINO comes among them
for the noble purpose of uniting
them as he united their brothers
in his own State in that political &C
ton which Is necessary to restore this
government to the just and human
principles for which it was instituted,
so that the prosperity of this people
may be recalled and firmly established.
KearneY in his hsrangue last night
used much of his vocabulary to vilify
the Associated Press, reading from a
San Francisco Chronicle dispatch. He
attributed it to the Associated Press.
No SUCH dispatch was sent from this
office. The only dispatch we have
sent, besides the simple announcement
of his arrival and the programme for
the meeting last night, was report of
he hat
Kearney, furnished by Kearney's pri-
vate secretary, and afterwards peddled
out to Boston morning papers for S.
each by the secretary.
