TRANSLATION
We are this year In the presence OF three priu.
cipal parties That affect our municipal politics
the Republican party. that OF Kelly and Grim
Minis; the Democratic party, that Of Sullivan
and Dwyer, and the Nom Partisan party, that Of
the honest people.
We have named this club the Independent
Club Of members speaking the French language.
In constituting ourselves an INDEPENDENT club
Notwithstanding that We are all fervent Republi-
cans from a national point of view-we have,
acted with complete knowledge of the cause
for so doing; we have acted IN the capacity OF
good citizens who have our interests aud well
fare at heart and the general welfare of the
public at large.
We kuew-the fact is uncontroverible-that
the Republican party and the Democratic party
so far as local politics was concerned, was
routed The first named was divided into two
factions. one faction belonging body and soul TO
Kelly and Cfimmns. and the other faction com.
posed of honest Republicans who are immovably
opposed TO domination by those two political
bandits that have just named.
There were three camps in the Democratic
party-tne Sullivan camp the new Buckley with
honorable aurements; the camp OF Buckley's
sub-lIeutenants and the camp Of the Reform
Democrats.
The faction of honest republicans and the
faction of Reform Democrats mel upon the
plane of community OF interests and Of ideas.
They came to an understanding, and rs IL of one
accord broke away from all political leaders.
whose unique ambition Is to enrich themselves
at The public treasury.
These two elements. composed OF all that Is
most honest and most respectable among Re-
pubicans and Democrats, succeeded In forming
combination, highly lsudabe, to put an end 10
The Ubiquitous abuses OF professional politicians
which have been carried on for SO many years In
San francisco 10 its prejudice.
Out OF this combination grew the Non Partisan
party, party which already causes terror in
the Republican and the Democratic ranks,
which on one side are In tow OF Kelly aud Grim
minis aud on the other OF Sullivan and Dwyer
These are doing all they can In the hope OF
staying the onward triumphal march OF the Non
Partisan party.
They are dsbursiDg money with lavish hand.
They are lavish with the gold OF the proprietor
OF the Chronicle. and that OF the railroad and
distribute it here and there with q view TO de-
feat the Non Partisan party, a party against
which is arrayed the Chronicle, the Examiner.
the railroad, all that is low and obi Gus, all the
lowest and most corrupt among the professional
politicians Such a party, say, deserves well
OF the public, 1t is worthy of the publlcs con.
Hdence, and has q right TO demand moral sup
port and the suffrage OF all respectable electors
Irrespective Of party.
i challenge any one to demonstrate that the
legislative and municipal ticker OF the Non.Par.
usan party Is not one hundred times better, one
hundred times more recommendabe than any
other presented for our suffrage.
Take It all In all 1t is the best ticket that we
have had since the beautiful days OF the
Vigilance Committee OF 1856, 1t Is the honest
peoples ticket, It Is the ticket OF those who pay
taxes, it Is the merchants ticket 1t Is the ticket
that propose 0 vote in It's entirety.
Ii is for these reasons that proposed that we
unanimousl y indorse the candidates of the Non
Partisan party. / Will vote In favor Of such a
proposition aud / have every reason to believe
that those have the honor Of addressing will do
likewise.
The speakers sentiments were loudly
and frequently applauded and the PROPOSE
ton to indorse the candidates carried by
unanimous vote.
