THE IMPEACHMENT OF KALI
LOCH.

/ that lie be impeached. They present
the case thus:
/ In our opinion, Isaac 5. Kalloch,
Mayor, has been and is ambitious Of
ascendency, and burning for revenge,
apparently INSCRIPTIONS and unprin-
ciplcd; and that he has, by insidious
and insincere language, endeavored
to incite the vicious and eyil-disposed
and to stir up their dormant passions
to accomplish his objects at the ex-
pense, loss and disgrace Of this com
munity. which it was his sworn duty
to protect and defend; although inge-
niously asserting for his own purpose
that he had both the power and the in
cinaiion to restrain those whom his
language had arrayed against the law
| fully constituted authorities and the
best interests Of the people. In our
opinion, Isaac S. Kalloch, Mayor,
| is lacking in sincerity and public spir-
| it, although protesting it; is devoid Of
fidelity and integrity to the public in
terests IN the discharge Of his duties /;
is faithless to the interests Of good
government, yet is learned in plati-
tudes which his facile brain and tongue
clothes in language convincing to the
susceptible and unthinking Aud that
wholly regardless Of his duties, he ex-
ercises his dangerous proclivities to
excite the masses, warily qualifying
his incendiary language as far as pos
sible, and that while pandering to the
unrnly and evil disposed, he appears
to have cndeavored to save himself
from the consequences of his acts, if
the results he aimed at were not at
| tanned, whatever their effects might
be upon others.
Disastrous as the acts of Isaac S.
Kalloch have been to San Francisco,
| by her fair fame being smirched at
home and abroad, her people thwarted
and insulted by his disregard aud vio-
lation OF his duties, the period has ar
rived when, in our opinion, it devolves
upon this Board to stamp upon them
upon behalf of an outraged commune
ty their disapproval and condemna-
ton Of these pernicous and unprinci-
Piled acts. This community has awak-
ened from its dangerous apathy and
demands, in our opinion, that the hon
or, credit, and fair fame of the munich
patty be indicated by judicial in,
curry and decision, in the manner pre-
sclibcd by law, as to whether or not
the acts of tile said Mayor Isaac S.
4 halluch should cause his removal from
that high aud honorable position.
/ Your committee believe, considering
| the premises, and do not hesitate to
say that Isaac S. kalIoch has proven
worthy and unfit for the Mayoralty,
aud that it is the duty Of this Board to
call for this action and for prompt and
SPEEDY justice on behafof the city and
county of San Francisco
/ At the conclusion Of the reading Of
the report before the Board of Super
visors, the ayes and noes aud were
called for, which resulted in the unan-
imous adoption Of the report.
The following resolution was also
adopted By them.
