said Evening Post has taken upon itself to con

wise Republicans TO vote for one of his Buckley

whereas, the said Evening Post pleads as excuse

OF his alleged age and infiImties and his uureas-
enable prejudice and tenner aud pleads As the
same for opposing tile election OF John D. Sebe
that Mr.. SteDe bOlted the Republican ticket in
1882 and 1886, and makes charges against his
standing as a citizen and business man. therefore

ResolUed That we believe that good advice
should be given at home; that tie Evening Post

THE POST AGAIN REGULATED.
An enthusiastic rally Of Republicans was
held on the 30th ult., at 1892 McAllister
street, in the hail of the Loud Club. a large
crowd filled every seat in the place, and
there was not sufficient room for the audi
ence W. A. 5. Nicholson presided and
George W. Smith acted as Secretary. L. z.
Barrett Sheriff Laumelster. John L. Davies,
J. e. Palmer, A. Ruef J. E. Field and A. C.
Dithmar addressed the meeting and ere
ated great enthusiasm by their speeches.
The drift of their remarks was the certain
Republican victory i'll State and city at the
election next Tuesday.
The following resolutions were unani-
m0usly adopted amid wild applause:
WHEREAS, A certain daily newspaper known
as the Daily Evening Post, Claiming 10 be Re-
publican III lis principles, has seen b to support
one Thomas j. Clunie, who boasts OF his opposi-
ti0n TO the Mckinley bill aud protection TO
American labor; and whereas, still further show
ing its inconsistency, said newspaper has seen
that sterling Rel ublican and upright citizen,
Hon. John ID. SIebe, Republican nominee for
Assessor; theI ei0Te, be IL
Rescued, hat this club utterly repudiates
such newspaper, as said newspaper repudiates
our candidates, and that We VIII do all in our
power 10 elect The Hon. L. +. Loud for Congress
and the Hon. j. ID. Siebe for Assessor.
The meeting then adjourned with three
cheers for Loud and the whole ticket
A CLEAR CASE.
c. j. HTsch business manager and one Of
the pr0prietors Of the Evening Post, stands
before the community in a very unenviable
light. Several days ago Frederick c. Sebe
asserted that Hiisch had demanded $1,000 10
secure the influence Of the Post in support
ing John ID. Siebe, who is running for City
and County Assessor on the Republican
ticket. On the 3Gth uitimO Hirsch published
a sworn statement, in which lie said: 1.-THE
statement that any words were used which
could in any way be contorted into a de-
mand for money is malicious falsehood,
and the statement that anything of the kind
took place is also a malicious falsehoOd."
In answer to Mr.. HirSch the following
affidavits were on the same day sworn to:
State OF California. City and County OF San Fran
Frederick c. Siebe, being duly sworn deposes
and says:

answer was. g 1000 and not a cent less.n told
him that | would consider The matter. On The
second day thereafter, MIR. Hirsch again called
and asked me IL | had considered the
matter, SAYING, Yon had better be

were inclined 10 spend; that we were no million
aires, and asked him II lie could not reduce Tie
sum. His answer was: No. sir; that Is The
price, and nothing less" i thereupon told him
