The Youngs Creek Democratic
Club carried this banner and had
220 men there to back it up. The
committee decided this old time club
deserved in point of members to re-
ceive two banners bearing the likeness
of the next president and vice-presi-
dent. Accordingly at 2 O'Clock P.
Fl. Cullen mounted the platform
erected in the Court House yard and
in an eloquent speech presented the
banners to w. Fl. Crawford, presi-
dent of the club, who replied briefly.
Some of the banners carried by
the horsemen bore pictures of Cleve-
land and Stone, while others bore
such sentiments as ga free ballot, +"
"No stove" tVote for Bill Stone" F."
"We never scratch,' - "Vote it from
Cleveland to Constable"
AS soon as the banners were pre-
sented it was announced that Ex-
Congressman F. w. Lehman would
Immediately address the people at
the Opera House, to be followed by
the Hon. Champ Clark. The crowd
could not be packed into the Opera
House, although it seats about l.
800. Mr.. Clark then led the
ones who failed to get into the
Opera House to the Court House
yard and there spoke to them fol
thirty minutes. His audience,
standing in the chilly air, was soor
warmed up into making the air re-
sound with vociferous applause
And he droped from his mouth
homely chunks of fsolid fact. He ther
went to the Opera House and spok,
again.
At night the Hon. Perry Wood
of Rails county, suave and smooth
shaven, spoke at the Opera Hous'
after the torchlight procession.
THE TOWN LOOKED GAY.
Everybody got up early tina
morning to begin the work of decor
ating the business houses. By 9:3'
O'Clock the task was completed in
way that showed a strong spirit o
Democracy. Among the mos
tasteful decorations might be men
toned those of G. L Ferris an,
Blattner & Davis. In the way of tn
adornment of the person small boy
hawked silken badges about th
streets and sold to all who woul,
buy. Some of these contained th
names of Cleveland, Stevenson an,
Stone, while others declared for Cleve
land, Stone and Clark. Even th
horses showed in glowing colors th

Names and tails were gaily bedecke

OPENING THE MEETING.

Chairman Beamish opened the exercises
of the evening by saying
"We are here tonight to give an express
sim IN our interests. There never was

ests more than at the present time. The

rule. aud from the temerity of their conduct,
the bOldness with which they carried out
their schemes and the shamelessness Of
much that they had done, it might well
happen that the people of San Francisco
eventually would be forced to cry aloud to
Buckley for deliverance.
These men had disfranchised citizens who
had been upright advocates OF Democracy
for score of years. They had presumed
to take upon themselves the authority of
defining the principles Of the party and had
read out Of the organization all who had not
rendered humble submission to their die
tates.
Buckley always could bs placed You
knew you were dealing with rogue and
we're ON your guard. But with his sue
cessors 1t was different. They had
mixed hypocrisy with corruption. They
had invited the independent Democrats TO
name their choice for the municipal Offices
The privilege was given them of getting
upon the platform and testlfying their re-
gard for their friends. A show of fairness
was gone through and when the farce was
al an end the slate was called and men
who in an independent convention would
not have received dozen votes were n0m-
mated to the chief offices in the gift Of the
people.
But the bosses of both parties were
doomed 10 a humiliating defeat. The popu-
lar movement that had given rise to the
Non -Partisaus was planted deep In the
affections Of the people, and they would
assert their partially at the polls in a way
that would astound the men of the ma
chimes.
The speaker did not hesitate to say that
within ninety days after the election Of the
Non-Partisans Martin Kelly would be wear

MURPHY AND GREGGAINS.
The Favorite Pugilists Received Good
Benefit the Palo Alto Club.

The Favorite Pugilists Received n Good
Bene at the PaIo Alto Club.
Alexander Greggains and Martin Murphy
had a very good benefit last evening at the
Palo Alto Club, notwithstanding the excite
ment that is now attached to political affairs.
The entertainment was excellent. and
consisted of several very spirited four
round bouts between the leading pugilists
of this city and Australia.
NJ. O'Sulllvan. the popular referee. acted
as master of ceremonies ON this occasion.
The four.round bout between Martin
Murphy and Harry Maynard. the old pro-
lessor of boxing, was the most interesting
event Uf the evening.
Maynard has been for several months en-
gagged in ranching near Red Bluff, and he
surprised his oldtime friends when he en-
tered the ring by presenting magnificent
appearance. He was in fighting trim. and
proved to the large audience that he had
lost none of his oldtime speed.
Murphy was feeling like ay0ung colt that
was let loose in field of clover. The set-to
was well worth seeing, as both contestants
went at each other in most spirited man.
ner and returned blow for blow in good
style.
When Greggains made his inaugural bow
he was greeted with rounds of cheers, and
on being presented with a handsome gold
and silver belt. emblematic of the middle
weight championship of the coast, the cheer
ing was deafening. He thanked his friends
for their kind appreciation and stated that
he would do his utmost to defend his title
against all corners.
He boxed four rounds with Joe King, his
old trainer.
Greggains and his manager, Martin Muir
ply, will leave for New York on Monday
morning. The coast champion is matched
to fight Martin Costello at the Coney
Island Club next month.

Thus for many weary months it remained.
Good citizens des paired of relief: the laws
were paralyZed; justice was expelled from
the forum. Honesty and decency were de-
rided and spurned, while knavery and
seoundrelism went rampaging and inso-
lently defiant throughout the city.
This hdeous condition OF things became
the theme OF comment and criticism where
ever the English tongue was spoken.
Drunken with power the enthrOned boOd-
Ter Of that day became holder and Dolder,
until he finally counted too much upon
American patience. He thought il would
never wear out But that was a dreadful
mistake Without warning without public
premonition, without handwriting on sthe
wall or divinely inspired seer to foreteIl the
impending doom, one act of blOOdshed in
the streets of the city set the alarm-bell
pealing its solemn warning TO the people
that the time had come for the citizens 10
strike one just and final blow for the vindi-
cation OF law liberty and honor

did not your fathers did aud probably par
ticipated In IL. Such superb uprising of
honesty against lawlessness and violence
as the world has scarcely seen. Scoundrels
were hanged, deported, elected; thieves were
driven forth. the government rehabilitated,
offices purified and honest men resumed
again the control of the city.
But men of San Francisco, fragrant and
orazen as was crime in that day, bad and
meretrnious as were the Yankee Sulliyans
ana Billy Mulligans of '56, the lawless
ruffians that now dominate the city are more
defiant and our Crimmiuses and Kellys
and their methods are more destructive of
GOOD government than the desperadoes of
the earlier day.
Now, have Indicated to you the remedy
that the builders OF this city resorted To
thirty-four years ago. And, desperate as il
was. 1t has been in the forum OF Conscience

deeper wrongs. Corruption and ruffianism
are more strongly intrenched within the
citadel Of Or government now than in the
times of '56. But since '56 the world hal
progressed, and the arbitrameDt of arms

Of regeneration have failed.

the will Of the bosses were carried out, 1t
would be placed in the hands of man
who had shown an utter contempt of all
pledges and had made of the county clerk
ship a cesspool OF corruption and extrav-
agance. How did this man compare with
the candidate of the Non-Partisans?
Henry Fl. Scott was known through the
community as man of unblemished integ-
rity and transparent sincerity. When
Judge William j. Wallace had endeav0red
to purge the city of its vicious officials he
had selected him as a man in whom the
people had confidence. who had never been
known to trifle with his word, and who
possessed the unfiinchiDg courage necessary
for aa actor in a great reform movement
and had named him as the elisor of his
position had fully borne ont the estimate Of
his character conceived by the distinguished
jurist. and If elected TO the place of Sheriff
he might be depended upon to follow out,
bravely and without fear of consequence,
the reforms and retrenchments to which
the N0n-Partlsans are pledged.
Turning his attention to the Democratic
party Mr.. Beatty declared that the NUM-
cipal ticket which 1t had presented to the
people in this campaign had been nomi-
mated by the most corrupt methods ever
witnessed IN San Francisco.
The people of the city, maddened at the
unblushiDg effrontery with which Buckley
corrupted their representatives in the Board
of Supervisors, Of Education. on the bench
and in every department OF the government.
had risen as one man and driven him forth
into exile. They had scarcely ceased fellci-
tating themselves on the deliverance when
they were made aware that in getting rid Of
one boss they had cleared the way for two
unprincipled men who had eagerly stepped
into the place of the departed.
1t was a singular thing to see these men,
one of whom had held high judicial office
had Tn all n
judges Of the court of last resort scramb-
ling for the wreckage of that power which
had fallen in the fall Of Buckley.
In short time they had established their

conclusion of Dr. Henry's speech had sub-
sided there were cries from all parts of the
house for "Ellert"
But the nominee for Mayor did not
respond. 1t was explained that the pentle-
man was too ill to attend. The chairman
introduced WA. Beatty, the Nom Partisan
candidate for District Attorney.
Mr. Beatty's speech was short
