REFORM DEMOCRATS.
Rattle alton Of the Ticket at Odd
Fellows Hall.

The Regular Reform Democratic party
held a ratification meeting at Odd Fellows
Hall last night. The meeting was well at
tended and the various speakers were greeted
with frequent applause whenever antiBCck-
ley sentiments were avowed.
The assemblage was called to order by
Eugene n. Deuprey, who said that the Demo-
cratic Convention had put in nomination a
man for Mayor who had always been at the
elbow of Buckley. 1t would be the same
with other candidates. The Irving Hail Con-
yention on the other hand had placed a
ticket in the field the nominees of which
could not be bought. They represent the
principle that the patronage of an Office shall
belong to HIM who is elected to the position
and not TO the Bosses
This sentiment was received with wild
cheering, and Mr.. Deuprey then introduced
Stuart NJ. Taylor to be Chairman of the
evening.
Mr.. Taylor on taking the chair said he was
glad to preside over meeting which had fer
its object the dethrOnement of Buckleyism
and Raneyism, and then read the following

tackled Frank McCoppip, Democratic candi-
date for Mayor, in regard to his panhandle
scheme, and read as follows:
This Buckley. McCOppin. solid-nine panhan-
die, public plumber scheme is without parallel.
1t must be consigned back the ghostly soil ude
OF its own originality, and take with It The author
Of the infany. II this panhandle scheme could
be consummated, Buckley aud his g4ng would
be astonished at their own moderation in the
millions that they could add through It's vast op-
portunties to their already i'll gotten gains.
When the resolutions were put to vote
there was one oDjector in the audience, who
rose and sad that Frank McCoppin was
not dishonest"
Charles A Sumner, Reform Democratic
candidate for District Attorney, was the
first speaker introduced by the Chairman
/ and was greeted with considerable enthusi-
asm. He delivered very scathing denun-
citation of Buckley and bossism, whom he
called the Infamous master of infamous
creatures" lie entered into the system
which Buckley pursued in manipulating pol
itics and showed how the strings were
pulled, the boss always coming out ahead
He asked his hearers not to consider the
Irving Hall nominations side show, but
to vote them on the score of pure politics.
In the course of his remarks Mr.. Sumner
also gave the Fire Department severe
tongue-Iashing for its corrupt assistance of
Buckley in politics.
t. V. GATORS ADDRESS.
Thomas Y. Gators name was the occasion
of long outburSt of applause, and on ap-
peariug three cheers were given in his honor,
He spoke at great length, Endorsing the plat
form of the Irving Hall Convention, and
said that the political corruption in the
Democratic party is worthy Of the despot-
ism of Russia itself. True Americans could
| not live under such tyranny. The out
break against this corruption is in the form
of u revolution, which he believed would be
successful on election day. He spoke
against MeCoppin, and claimed that he is
the representative of the Spring Valley
Water Company, and that he is one of a
set OF c0nSpiratorS to prevent the people
from obtaining cheap water.
The connection of McCoppin with this
conspiracy is shown by his panhandle scheme.
McCoppin wanted the city to get into DEBT
in improving the park, and then, when
the time comes for the city to own its
waier-works. it would be impossible for
the people to consent to go any further
into debt. After attacking all monopolies
in general, and the Southern Pacific Rail
road in particular. Mr. Gator stated that he
is in favor of the Nicaragua Canal and op-
posed to the Southern Pacific Company
having an extension Of time on its bonded
Indebtedness.
Chairman Taylor brought the meeting to
close by entering into detailed account
of how Boss Buckley had acquired his
riches.
Three cheers were given for the Reform
Democratic ticket and the meeting adj
