Last Night.

Castro, was denseIy packed last night on
the occasion of meeting of the citizens of
the Thirty-siXth Assembly District in sup
port of the Nom Partisan ticket.
In calling the meeting to order Z. Dennis
made a spirited address, in which he re-
minded his hearers that their homes and
property in Eureka Valley were in danger
of cOnGscalion unless the Non Partisan
ticket was voted on election day from top to
bottom. This reference to the existing
corruption in municipal government was
greeted With prolonged applause.
d. II. Wilson Jr.. upon taking the chair,
referred to the fact that all the Non-Parti-
san nominations had been made by honest
and representative business men in a
straightforward manner and without the
use Of money or a resort TO any pernicious
political methods. He contrasted Mr.. Ebert
with Mr. Easton as candidates for Mayor.
Mr.. Ebert had shown himself worthy Of the
highest trust. His business was that Ell
aleviatlng the ills of humanity, while
EaSton stood out at noon every day when
honest men were passing his place and dis
playing his red flag, rang bis bell and lured
them into his office to sell them outside
lands. He was nothing but land speeula-
tor He was a supporter of the Market
street extension and all other street Jobs
conceived to rob the small property-owners.
Such a man could never receive the votes OF
the citizens of the Thirty sixth Assembly
District
The first speaker was ID. j. Mahoney.
He said that l.. II. Ebert commanded the
respect of the whole community. Ii elected
no was certain be would carry out the Will
of the people faithfully, and there would be
no further ring rule in San Francisco.
Going over the entire list OF the Non PRrti-
san nominees Mr.. Mahoney spoke flatter-
ing word for each. OF Edward Short the
nominee for AsSemblyman from the Thirty
sixth District. he said Mr.. Short had been
resident OF the city since he was years OF
age, and he was thoroughly acquainted
with the needs of the district and OF the
city and State. In him they would have an
honest and capable representative.
Ex-senator j. S. Enos spoke next. He
SAID The causes that had produced the pres
ent uprising Of the people were apparent 10
everybody. Corruption in Office was an
swerab!e for it, Who had not heard of the
last TWO Legislatures, and the scandals
growing out of them? They had all heard
with shame Of the waste-basket scandal
They had all heard OF the powers of the
railroad, and OF the eXactions Of the water
and gas corporations.
Regarding municipal legislation, Mr..
Enos referred to the school board and its
responsibilities. Would his hearers go TO
Kelly and CrimmiHs, he asked, Tor School
ests of this vast population? Voices, mo!
Now]
Take another branch of the city govern
ment-the Board OF Supervisors. They put
up jobs to extend streets TO make places for
their henchmen. This has been the history
of the last two Boards OF Supervisors.
There was not Judge nominated on the
Republican ticket to-day but who was put
on it az the dictation Of Kelly and Grim
Minis"
AS American citizens he asked his hearers
to consider seriously the influences that had
brought into existence the Non-Partsan
ticket, and closed with an earnest and elo-
Quent lea for its support by every citizen
who desired the publication Of local politics
c. j. Swift followed Mr.. Evans with
short and earnest address. He advised his
hearers 20 vote the NOn-Partlsan ticket
straight, and spoke particularly OF the need
of a man of the highest integrity filling the
responsible Office of Sheriff, and referred to
Mr.. Scott as man without reproach and
without fear, and especially fitted tor that
Office. His election would be guarantee
of the publication of the iury-box. The
true principle that should control every
| voter on election day was Infinitely more
matter OF manhood than it was of property.
The question with the people was whether
they desired to put men or slaves In office.
William A. Beatty, the Non-Partisan
nominee for District Attorney, said that he
had attended great many meetings IN TINS
campaign thus far. and be had found that
The meetings of the N0B-Partisans were
better attended and there was more respect
full attention paid TO the speeches at these
meetings than 10 those of any oil the old
parties. Mr.. Beatty spoke in high terms Of
the Non-Partlsan candidates for Tax Col
lector and Surveyor, and pledged that he
would, If elected. treat all citizens. rich or
poor, with equal impartiality in the dis
charge of bic duties.
