The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1890-10-25

conversation, admit the truth Of every word
| utter tonight. And yet the strange spec
tacle is presented to watching Suite OF
many Democratic orators travelling and
speaking over its several counties, ''whooping
up" the grand old party, aided by brass
bands and blazing fires, and yet not one,
outside of this reform organization, that l
have heard of, has had tho courage and the
conscience to tell the truth about the politi-
cal crimes tolerated here by the so-called
followers OF Jefferson. jackson and Tllden.
II these three statesmen could come down
from celestial glories how long do YOU sup
pose they would be willing to reside here
before the brO0mS OF decency would be in
their hands trying to wipe out our foul
political nest, which has given shield and
shelter to the birds of ill-omen who follow
Buckley and Rainey, and like vultureS scent
carrion in every breeze. The Democratic
party here is going to decay under existing
conditions, and so far as L am personally
concerned, ratheS than see it flourish by vile
means and gain corrupt victory over OPP
posing elements, would prefer to see 1t SINK
forever in this city in the oblivion of star
less eternal night without one hope OF day.
BUCKLEY RUMoRs.
That Buckley means to knife Mr.. Pond |
have not the slightest doubt, for several
days ago in a salocn on Market street, not
far from O'Farrel!, he was heard to say:
Damn Pond, let him take care OF himself,
or words to that effect
This is vouched for by several men of
veracity, who heard 1t direct, so l am in
formed, from the lips of the saloon keeper
himself. Upon this platform now there are
several quite cogniZant of the facts. A fine
leader this of the champions of true
Democratic principles.
Another rumor afloat is that the legislative
ticket will be sold out to our Repub lean
neighbors. Are the records and characters
OF all his nominees for the Legislature such
fInrN
l simply ask The question. The Whole thing
will bear close Watching
That there are some men on the Buckley
ticket whose splendor of character would
adorn any community is most trne. But
they are III bad company, and every man
who accepts nomination from him indOrSeS
and supports him silently, Tut none the less
eloQueutly.
He is forced to put these men upon his
ticket, TO give it a tone Of responsibility, but
rest assured it is poison coated pill.
Forgive me, my fellow citizens, for detain-
ing you so long. The subject is serious, and
demanded earnest and serious treatment.
And surely for the public veal one can spare
an hour or two from the comforts of home.
And when You leave this hall and give
thought to what has been said of this arch
devil of political debauchery, who has never
had one single heart-thrOb of sympathy
with any lofty ideal of public life, and whose
reinforcement every yirtuouS mother ajd
manly father must desire, remember those
stirring wo4dS of the great Roman Cicero,
when he referred to his country's enemy,
and let them nerve you to action, and let the
traitors fate fill you with hope: "Quousque
tandem abutere Catiline, nostra patientia
Quamdiu, iSte tue Juror, nos eludet."
How long, o Catiline, Will you abuse our
patience? How long will your viilainy
eluoe us? ?"
THREE CHEERS FOR TAYLOR.
Ao, f,ilN, l, i
citizen, | call for three cheers for Colonel
Stuart Taylor, said Mr.. Deuprey, when the
Colonel had terminated one of the most
scathlng speeches against Buckley and cor
ruption ever delivered in this city. The
cheers rang out with enthusiasm, ending
with tiger.
The introduction of James Fl. Barry
evoked storm of applause. He expressed
surprise at receiving an ovation, being an
''.ex-convict." After passing judgment upon
the irregularities practiced in electing
I'm ntsd states Senators ana declaring that
members are elected by direct vote
Of the people, lie turned his
attention TO ulunicipal politics and
said: We're not splitting the Democratic
party. 1t is Buckley and Ferral who have
caused the split" Before ending his speech
he characterized most of the Buckley nomi-
nees as of the same material as one who
would have been driven to the State Prison
in disgrace If Buckley had not used his cor
rupt power to prevent it.
L. V. Gator addressed the assembly with
the intention of indicating his character
after the attack made upon it in the edi-
tOrlal columns of a Buckley organ yesterday
morning. lie narrated his career in the New
Jersey Legislature, and then facetiouSly
remarked that although lie knew that he
was giving more publicity to the attack
upon his character in the Buckley organ by
referring to il at this meeting than the circu-
lation OF that journal would, yet he always
wished to correct malicious and untruthful
publications against himself"
The meeting dispersed with three cheers
for the Reform Democratic ticket.
