THE MAYOR DECLARES HIMSELF.
Mayor Kallocll, who was received with
prolonged cheering, said that the Work
ingmen's party was tho natural offspring
of q condition of affairs that existed in
this State from causes which the older
parties hail failed to remedy, such as
Chinese immigration, land monopoly,
and tho power Of corporations, which
hung OIL tho nccks of our civilization
and threatened to drown u.s. The party
started in to redress those evils, and so
long as it remained true to original OBJ
jects it prospercd, but success turned the
heads Of some people, and the dream OF
agrcat national party ensured, ut the
expense of local issues. 1t was prcma,
turo to make a national party out of the
W.P.C. He had hoped that in this
election evely man wouldhaye been left
free to vote for whOmsocyer be pleased
without invalilatins his position in the
party. For himself he could vote for nc
ono elso than tho gallant soldier and
spotless statesman, General Winfield
Scott Hancock. Crrcmendons cheering,
tho vast audience rising and waving
their hats.) lie was impelled to do So
owing to tho outspoken anti-Chincse
plank in tho Democratic platform, which
was plain as the grand old slogan of oul
party, "rhe Chinese must CO." (Rc'
Moved applausc.) Aside from this the
Democratic party had always been thci'
natural ally against the Chinese. A
Democratic Congress had passed a bill
for our relief anda
REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT HAD VETOED IT,
And tho Republican candidate for Pres
idcnt had fought against us on this
question. A Democratic Board of Health
had found a remedy, but the Republican
Supervisors had squclchcd it. (HowIs
and groans. Hc honestly believed
that the Republicans had stolcl
the election from Tiltcn. He
then reviewed the dismissal of Kaplal
in bitter terms, and alleged that the
scheme to capture tho electoral votes Of
California by fraud had been conCoCtcJ
months ago. He traced the course
through the last Legislature, and claim
ed that tho Debris Tax bill had beer
passed in that interest, and alluded tt
his own impeachment as u part Of til.
plan. The election commissioners, how
ever, would stand solid against attcmp
oil fraud. Loud cheers. The tint
was about to arrive when the machin,
Republican party, from Conkling, Came
ron and Logan down to Barnes, Mcclure
tho Chronicle and the supervisors, woull
be buried in tho lowest depths, beyond
resurrection. [Cheers.] Our opponcnt'
want no mud i'll this campaign, but they
will have it, There is too much to b,
