Denis kcarnry has published, an address APP
proving the new Constitution. He saws:
The leading points in the new Constitution.
ne far as they have heen elaborated. meet the
requirements OF the WorkinGmcn's party in a
modified form. The instrument IL not perfect
and your executive department are not so de-
ncicnt in political experience as 10 expect that
any political Constitution can be framed 10y n
constitutional body that would be absolutely
perfect. Tho corrupt system hich the Work
1ngmens party IL attacking has been carefully
elaborated. and If the ougrowth Of Old World
abuses engraited upon the tree OF American
liberty IL cannot be destroyed in n single
campaign. but the party OF reform has already
carried its outworks striking terror to lis lead
ers. and by thorough organization and honest
cooperation the citadel of official corruption
will be captured in the next September election
when the State Of California should bc enamel
pated forever from the rule Of thieves and con-
spirators, who nrc working to overthrow the
Republic 81 Washington and Jefferson.
" Already the wires are laid and the agents OF
every vested interest In fraud aud monopoly in
the State are at work devising means for break
Ing down the new Constitution. They have I'M
limited money Mt their command. nearly all Of

bones by corrupt Rings. and can also count
upon that last resort Of all rotten social and
cnlinstitutions. n corrupt judiciary. Adopt
the new Constitution. and thieves must either
exile themselves or pay the penalty OF their
crimes. They can no longer buy Leg islatures.
for honest men will be elected: they can no
longer count uuun corrupt judiciary. for the
Judiciary Of California will no longer consti-

sttution. They have their attorneys in the
