The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1892-10-15

ton as to the theory and principles upon
which the Government il founded. They
should be taught to respect duly constituted
authority and TO venerate the law, and that
in the fullness of time, when they reach
maturity of intellect, it should be their
most honorable aspiration to participate in
public affairs; to address their fellow
citizens from the hustiDgs, and thus to
achieve honor and distinction. Those ideas
are such as we would seek to iucul-
Ing youth of the country, but IL
pledge you my word that while l
have a son who / hope may some day be
qualified to take respectable position
among his fellow-cltlZens, my advice to him
will be il this state of affairs is to continue,
by all means to avoid political life in Cali
fornia as being productive of bad results
aud fruitful source of Generalization and
dishonor; that no man can hope In Califor-
MIA to permanently succeed in public life
without making terms with the railroad
corporation that are alike disgraceful to his
man hood and dsloyal to his country's best
interests. Then, fellow-citizens, it is for us
to grid up our loins and to remember the
tremendous issues that are at stake. II
we do not succeed this time these
bosses will become emboldenei by
our defeat and their success and the
suspended will be resumed with fresh ardor
| feel as confident OF success as | do tn at
to-mOrrOw's sun will rise. | can see the
determined resolve in the face OF every
honest man TO wind this business up at this
election. Bosssm must perish, corruption
must be throttled, hurled from its high po-
stion down to the everlasting depths of in
fanny and shame and honesty and purity
must once more walk these streets with an
"erect port and elevated CREST; and it is
coming. These men Will be swept from
power. The tide is rising; it is coming with
thae 10 CT dom
only be likened to the great ocean when it
hits itself beneath the darkened sky and
the rolling thunder with an elementary
force and fury that defes the expedients of
carping man."
Then | adjure, and beseech you, close up
your ranks; forget all antecedent enmities
fuse yourselves into one brotherhood, fight
ing against a common foe, with q common
end in view, and then when we meet the
enemy it Will be with shields locked, and
will answer for tie rest.
You have money against you.
You have those Juggling devils of Third
street against you.
You have all the Internal enginery OF
bossism and all the powers Of diabolism it
self against you. But the God of Justice and
the prayers of good men and women are for
you. and upon the ldes Of November you
will meet the cohorts Of corruption and
scatter them like autumnal leaves before an
angry wind.
And then there shall ascend to the clouds
a h0sannah of JOY, and in our good city there
shall be such day Of thanksgiving as your
children shall dwell on as lustrums and
decades shall roll on. That will be Sau
Francisco's brightest day.
Blest and thrice blest the Roman
Who sees ROme's brightest day,
Who sees that long victorious pomp
Wind down the Sacred Way,
And through the believing Forum
And round the Supplants' Grove.
Up to the everlasting gates
OF CspitoliaD Joye
