Charles A. sumner.
Charles a. Sumner appealed to the hu-
NOR of the crowd when he began his speech
by asking, What's the matter with
Elza?"
The 'elisor,'" he said. "has made two
health resorts on this hemisphere which are
the only places in which it is safe for a San
Francisco boodler to dwell just now-AIon-
treal and Judge Murphy's courtroom"
During the past eight years he said that
every Legislature had teen hut great ma
chine, built to cinch every public interest
and pay tribute to Boss Buckley and the

and the beginning of an apparently honest
investigation into the methods Of Doodle
was at hand
CONTENTIOUS AND DEFIANT.
"When Richard Chute was shut up In
Judge Wallace's court" he said, mot know
ing what was to be asked him or what he
was there for. he was contemptuous and
defiant 1t showed that he knew what the
outcome would be on appeal to Judge Muir
phys court. When public opinion favors
the course Of such Judge as Wallace and
another Judge steps in and overthrows that
course, oyerthrows law, deties the public
opinion and prostitutes the Constitution,
then it is time for public opinion to express
itself in a mass-meetng as it has done here
tonight. otherwise tie work of Eliza will
be for naught.
The history OF the past few DAYS shows
yon what are the facts in regard to the ad-
ministratiOI of justice and the methods of
legislation. If YOU expect justice from a
brave Judge you must support that Judge
with all the weight Of your public senti-
ment.
"When the Grand Jury said to Dick
Chute Come into court and answer whether
you paid money into the Legislature the
people should see that its mandates are
Obeyed.
BEIN EtN BOODLEhSs
"a man said 10 me to-day, Why. this is
only a fight between the boodlers that are
in and the bOOdlers that are out That
only shows the degeneracy of public opinion
in the matter.
"When the Grand Jury turned TO Stephen
T. Gage and asked him, Did you finger any
of the money paid out for corrupt legisa-
tion? ? why didn't lie answer? Why didn't
Chute come into court?
Pm tell you why. There's business be-
hind this. But let me say that il they wont
tell there are others who will, and when it
comes it Will only add another crime to their
already black record and which will finally
send them where no more judicial investiga-
tions will disturb thom-to San Quentin or
Folsom.
FAR-REACHING.
"What's the business behind this? Why,
If this Eliza is only permitted to work 1t
will elicit testimony that viii not stOD until
it has reached Washington and driven from
the Senate men who owe their seats to this
Doodle. II will 60 further, and reach be-
hind the Judges begch-perhapS not Judge
Murphy's--and force them out. Men who
owe their official places to Doodle are in
famous characters and ought to be driven
out"
Mr.. Sumner then entered upon leng thy
commendatiOn Of Judge WallSce's course in
selecting the Grand Jury, and in appoint
ing an elisur to make the selection, instead
Coroner even, whose own official career
might be investigated. or who might them
selves be called into the iury-bOx to answer
questions.
DE YOUNG SCORED.
He saTcasticaly referred to De Young as
that small politician who owns the wood
box projection at the corner of Market,
Geary aud Kearny Streets" as the one man
IN the community who challenged the wis
dom OF Judge Wallace's course, and ''he
employed cheap editor 10 write against it."
If this was slander then De Young has
also been slandered. lie has been charged
with spending thousands in trying to buy a
seat in the Senate.
81 heard that arch representative OF mo-
nop0ly, Greed Raymond, talking to-day
about the liberty Of the people. 1t was an
inspiring sight.
There's no need for eloqueHce or ora
tory. The facts are before you. They are
enough. 1t is for you here tonight to do
your duty. Ii you believe these facts then
II Is 1or you to exert yourself. Bring your
strength to bear to Oust these men from
office and support honest men, men like
Wallace.
