City Can Be Redeemed.
eff l have no greater difficulty in getting
10 Congress than into this wagon,' began
Thomas V. Gator, as he mounted the porta-
BILE platform of the Reform Democrats on
Eddy street, near Powell, last night, 6 l will
get there
In speaking of the effort to redeem the
city FROM the ignominy into which it has
fallen owing to the corrupt machine rule of
the past he said: why can not the Re-
publicanS and Reform Democrats unite?
Are we not all members of one common
municipal family? What class of people is
it who insist upon upholding ii corrupt set
| of bosses? They are men who sell out and
trade in what belongs to others-a class who
| sell out whenever it is money in their
| pockets. Let us no longer be towards and
| slaves, but override the corruptiDg machines
| in national, State and city politics. Let us
| shake off the shackles of corruptionists and
| then there will be prosperity in every direc-
| ton"
Mr. Gator called attention to the mass
meeting to be held in front If the San Fran
| cisco stock Exchange at 1915 O'clock this
| afternoon, when" he said, 1.-The merchants
| and the people in general will show that
| they are aroused aud are determined to
| shake off boSsism, machines, fat monOpOlistS
and despntisms, which are the author of
| machines"

| which he scored BOSS" Buckley and his lieu
tenants in unstinted terms. He said voters
would soon see through their despair and
| desperate methods to regain ground in a
| forlorn cause. While commenting on Buck
ley's methods, Mr.. Roberts referred
| to the notorious trial of the Widow
| Wright against the Geary-street Rail-
road Company. ASK Dick Creighton and
Frank Northey." he continued, about the
corrupt methods of the boss. Northey is
now clerk at San Quentin because the
| boss would not allow such distinguished
Lamb to soil his hands. You are contin-
ually being dishonored by being governed
| by men who are not honorable and who
care nothing for the laws. The reign of the
boss must cease. We must put Buckley
ism to an end, and now is as good Il time as
| any,"
Dr.C, d. Cleveland, the Reform candidate
| for Coroner, also had something to say about
| Buckley and corruption. The truth will
prevail" he said, and as sure as there is a
| heaven BuckleylSm must 60 down. In this
| city there is no such thing as division OF
| the Democracy. Is it Democracy for Buck
ley to take possession of $40 precinetsP nv, 1t
| is not Democratic to rob by force. The
! government of San Francisco has been
baked for ten years by one continual
stream of filth. corruption and bossism.
1t is reeking mass of putreiac-
| ton. We are asserting the good
matter from this rotten, purified mass,
| known heretofore as the city Democracy.
! There is no such thing as a division. We
had to remain with this mass of corruption,
| or go out in the field and tight. We chose
| the latter VIII the voters support this revo-
! luton i'll favor of pure administration
rather than the opulent bosses and corrupt
| ing corporations who eXtort money and rob
| the people of their subsistence? Cast your
| ballots against bOssiSm and raScality, and on
November 4th the city will be redeemed"
