IT Is FIT.

@A-@A -fAA1a AllHGn D. y u
thony was almost unanimouslg ac-
corded an opportunity to present for the
consideration Of the Convention the dis
abilities under which women reside in
the Republic, the only person who OBJ
jected to hearing her being California's
greatest curse and deepest shame, the
blatant blatherskite who leads the sand
lot rabble, Denis Kearney.
1t is fit thatthis criminal, who was too
shiftless to earn a living in his native
land, should object to allowing a wom-
an, who was born in this country Of
honorable people and reared by faithful
supporters Of the Government, TO pre-
sent her reasons for desiring a change in
the political status OF womankind.
Il is fit that this worthless alien cur,
whose disgusting barking would put
him behind bars ,and keep him therel
if be were in his own country, should
set himself in opposition to the grandest
reform OF the age, antagonizing the
wishes Of the leaders and representatives,
Of the Greenback party, which is COM
posed almost exclusively of Americans.
It is fit that this offseouring Of the
scum Of San Francisco should raise his
foul breath against abolishing
form Of human slavery which in many
instances places women in worse posi-
tiOns than were formerly occupied by
the poor Africans.
Il is fit that this representative OF
Western hOodlumism should attempt to
defeat the will OF the delegates from the
East and prevent their championing the
cause Of women, who are forced to ad-
init the political superiority Of Kear-
ney's following OF corner lOafers, mid
night ruflians, sand-bag garroters, fan-
nel-mouthed bog-trOtters and adulterous
political preachers.
It is fit that this swapping fee, who
has with crude demagoguery snarled
about the burdens and small privileges
Of the working classes, should exhibit
the character OF the dog in the manger,
and rail against blessings to any class
until his lawless vagabonds and foreign
outcasts are given control Of the govern
mental affairs OF the country.
It is fit that this trucking coward,
who deserted his post when mate Of a
gale-tossed vessel on the California
coast, but begged for reinstatement
when she had wealhered the storm, and
was kicked by Captain Carroll around
the deck like a dog, should display his
bravery and chivalry by an attempt to
insult a noble and intelligent woman
and the Greenback Convention.
It is fit that this mountebank on The
beer money Of the Golden City's rough
and tough elements should wish to en-
force silence on a woman who speaks for
a class that is now and ever will be op-
posed to the liquor traffic, and who will
yet help eonsign his beer-soaking and
whisky-drinkiug herd of scrawny cattle
to the oblivion or confinement they so
justly merit.
It lie fit that this brazen braggart, who
so tempestuously threatened to wade
knee-deep in gore in Boston IL Butler
we're defeated for Governor Of Massa-
chusetts, and who repeatedly swore that
the streets Of san Francisco should run
with blood il certain "hell-bOrn Villains
were elected TO Office, but who quietly
crawled into his hole every time, should
be so utterly insensible TO fear as to vote
against the Conventions unanimous de-
sire TO listen to a lady's remarks on a
most important subject.
1t is fit that this convict, who, through
q technicality Of the law, is allowed his
freedom, should consider it his privilege
to deny the purest and best citizens the
right to liberty and the pursuit OF hap
piness.
Further, it is fit that the party which
was founded by this ignorant slum on
the "anti- Chinese" and Oppression
cry, and which, while loud in its de-
mands for freedom and reform, yet in
solently and arbitrarily Iefused to dis
cuss the wrongs OF one-half the commu-
nifty, should be broken and scattered as
was the so-called Workingmen's party
in California.
Again, it is fit that Denis Kearney,
who came to the surface with the scum
that floated from the slums Of Barbary
Coast, Tar Flat and Bernal Heights,
should be cleared away with the rest oi
the foul gathering which has sloughed
over san Francisco.
And, finally, much as the necessity
for an American party is to be deplored,
II the California blight can be destroyed
in no other way, it is fit that a party ol
the native-b born spring into existence to
! resent the insolence OF the alien hordes.
And every good aud true forelgn-born
citizen endorses the idea OF a party an
tagonistic to foreign insolence.
