John Utz and his two associates,
Scouten and Grim are trembling III
their boots, they foresee the result
of two weeks from next Tuesday.
They are useing every means possible
to get the substantial leaders in
line for Mr.. Utz. they decline how
ever, saying that Utz is not Il Demo
crat and they are under no ohliga-
tions to give him their political
strength and vote. Mr.. utzis quite
put out about the treatment he is
receiving at the hands of The boys
but cannot consistently say that he
does not merit it, brought about by
his unprin"iple actions forthe Demo
cratic party. He fought Ionkin,
Mcdonald, Collins, Kalns and
Meyers, all good Democrats and
we're the nominees of the Demo
cratic conventions.

The Republican Vigilance Com
mittee in each precinct should look
after the stay-at-home-voters and see
that full vote is polled at this cleo
tlcn. Each committeeman should
take pride in doing something for
the principles which he represents
at the near approaching election.
The Dushore papers are pounding
one another. Newell claims that he
can't hit Streby on the head because
he has none. Streby says, notwith-
standing the head racket, that he has
knife to grind and it is in the
shape of a paper cutter and will do

the Iecieao. The controversy be-
gan about a paper cutter.

SIR CHARLES RUSSELDS PLEA.
TRACING THE HISTORY OF THE AGITATION
IN IRELAND.
WAY IMPLICATED IN CRINiE-SIR CHARLES
TO SPEAK TWO MORE DLYs

London, April lO-Sir Charles Russell contin-
ued his argument for the Parnellites before the
Parnell Commission to-day. He expects to finish
his speech on Friday, when the Commission will
adjourn until April 80. Upon the reasSembling of
the Commission Mr.. Parncll will be called to the
witneSS-box.
In his speech to-day Sir Charles Russell re-
codnted the story of enforced Irish emigration to
America, of the growth of Fsniansm in that coun-
try, and of its development into movement to
obtain justice for Ireland by means of legal agita-
tion. He said it was the justifable boast of Par
nell and Davitt that they had taught Irish-Amer- r
leans to combine and assist them in their efforts
within the law. He traced the history of the Ma
tional League in America, and declared that it
proved conclusively that the organization was in
no way implicated in crime The National League,
he said, had been founded to maintain the right
of the Irish people TO make, in their
own National Assembly, laws relating to
Ireland. This was not o novel clain
There was no period in the history of Ireand in
which the people Of the Irish race in that greater
Ireland beyond the were not willing TO accept
the natural right of SelfgOVenment and 1--we in
amlty with the rest of the Empire. He declared
that Mr.. Parnell had never been associated with
q secret society, had never met Patrick Ford,
and had never been implicated, directly indi-
rectlv, with any conspiracy whatever. Mr. Davitt,
although friend of Ford's, had repeatedly re-
monStrated against the adoption Of q policy Of
violence, and had never failed to denounce out.
RACES and the melting of the people to commit
such crimes.

much surprise, she fired shot directly at Us,

then gave Chase but failed overtake us, with
good strong breeze soon distanced her. After
following hours, she gave the chase, and
putting about, steamed toward land She was a low.

The opinion in shipping circles here is that the

others purchased here, recently driven out of
SANTANA Bay, because the Dominican Government
would no longer continue It's alliance with General

VIEWING TILE CAREER OF HIS PARTY

San Francisco April o." Tho Chronicle will
print tomorrow full-pagc exposure OF the blind
Democratic boss, Christopher F. Buckley, BY
Jeremiah Lynch president Of the San Francisco
Stock Exchange an cX-Statc Senator a stanch
Democrat, and a man Of independent wealth
Lynch has made war on Buckley ever since he
was in tho State Legislature and discovered the
shameless corruption of the Democratic boss
His exposure is the more extraordinary, as no ono
here has dared TO tell the truth about Buckley
and his henchmcn, who for ten years have con-
trolled both State and city politics, for fear that
Buckley would have the author Of such an expos
urc asSasSinated Lynch will start in few days
for Paris, and he prints his attack in pamphlet
and signs it. It will appear tomorrow both in
pamphlet and in THE Chronicle" and is sure
to create a great sensation in California
Lynch reviews Bucklcy's career from the time
he left Ncw-Yo7l came to PallcIo and opened a
saloon, down to the present time when he dictates
appointments to Democratic leaders and makes
the states for State and local elections. He shows
that Bucllcy's blindness was due to intemporance
and dcbauchery. When the man found that liquOr
had robbed him Of sight, he became total alb.
staincr. The gradual growth of his power in
tins city is graphically slletched Lynch shows
how Buckley mastered law as we'll as politics,
50 that he is more than match for his shrewdest
opponents. Despite his wholesale bribery, he has
never been brought within the pale Of the law,
though scores OF his creatures have been sent to
San Quentin. His guide around San Francisco
is an eX-convict, whose pardon Buckley secured.
and his associates political strikers, thieves
and gamblers. When Buckley was last in New.
York, Inspector ByInes warned hlm he would vet
come to grief if he consorted NTH eX.convcts and
crooks, but Buckley laughed at his predictions.
For ten years Buckley has gathered the most
interruptions politicians in the city around him.
and by their aid has practically controlled the
chief city Offices lie has levied baclInal on
water and gas companies and On scores OF other
corporations, until he las amassed large fortune
Nr. Lynch reviews the whole record of cOrrup-
ton, and his sketches Of judges ds'ri"t-attorneys,
mayors. liye-mar5halS ard other officials who have
done Buckcys bidding furnish lively reading
tie shows that Buckley who is known 10 the Chi
ncsc rs the Blind White Devil, has rivHed Tweed
in the bOldncSs Of his operations and in his Gym
ic"l contempt for law and courts There is grow
ing feeling among the better class of Democrats
against Buckley chiefly due to the shama less su-
pcrysors now in Office and this exposure of his
methods may hasten the downfall of the man who
has done more than any other TO corrupt California
politics.
