OLD DEMOCRATS RATIFY.
Good Words Spoken for the Nom PARTS al
Ticket.


Ticket.
The Bijou Theater was filed from the
gallery TO the stage-wings and the door
ways with enthusiastic supporters of the
old-line Democracy last night Chris Buck
ley was not there, but not few OF his
lambs were. and they waged war to the
knife on the reorganizers OF the Sullivan
Dwyer type.
A bust of Cleveland had been ferreted
ont among the properties" OF the good old
days of "a, and was paternally patted on
the head and caressed by the speakers
whenever the enthusiasm OF the gallery
waned.
I. j. Flynn was chairman and a. Diieau
secretary.
The chairman, after predicting the cleo
tion Of Cleveland, introduced William Me-
Manu-. 1.-THE next Mayor of San Francisco"
McMann paid his respects to the Young
men who were seeking to disrupt the ola
party in this city, and predicted they would
meet with their Tebnke on the SIN OF
| November. He was applauded for bis den
| milton of the duties of the Mayor; the neces-
sity of keeping entalsappropflatIoHs
| within bounds; and his remarks IN REGARD
to the neglect of old citizens III Inc al
! and City and County Hospital, which IL IS IN
| duty of the Mayor TO visit, were especially
| approved. He declared lt TO be the desire
| of the organizers of the meeting that the
| Legislature which is 10 elect the next
| United States Senator for California shall
be Democratic, and that no one outside OF
the party shall reach that honor
w. T. Craig. candidate for City and
County Attorney, was the next speaker.
| He began well by saying lie believed the
time has come for the downfall OF 6osslsm
| and one-man power in politics. lie ad-
mitted that if the vote WAS TO be on qnes-
| ton OF principle, the choice lay only be-
tween the old Democratic and the Nom
Partisan tickets. But he pointed out 10 his
hearers that as half the men on the Nom
Partisan ticket are Republicans. true Dem
ocrats cannot vote It. He predicted that
the Republican municipal ticket. as pre-
pared by Kelly and Crimmins, will not poll
10 600 votes in the city OF San Francisco :;
and said that nine-tenths of the decent Re-
publicans of the city have deserted that
rotten hulk TO vote the Non Partisan ticket.
Was ever such a ticket as Kelly and Grim
Minis put up? lie referred 10 the fact that
the Republican candidate for Sheriff, after
expanding in two years So. coo more Of
the public money than was necessary to run
the County Clerks Office. is now spending
$4,000 TO obtain position with salary OF
SS000
When Mr. Craig had concluded a voice in
the gallery loudly proposed three cheers for
the NOn-PaTusan ticket.
The chairman gruffiy told the speaker
that the proper place for him was down on
Post street, and the band played Hail Co.
lumbia."
W. Nj Beatty, candidate for District At
torney, eulogZed the old Democratic ticket
and paid q special tribute to Henry ID.
| Scott, "the most aggressively honest man IN
| San Francisco" He spoke of the services
that were being rendered 10 the people
/ by the Wallace Grand Jury when it was
| knocked out by the Southern Pacific Rail-
| road. and said that if Mr.. Scott is elected
| Sheriff there will be fewer juries stuffed in
! the Interests of that corporation.
| Clarence Gray, "the old war horse" was
next called on, and made long. rambling
speech, but full of unintenti0nal bad breaks
and bulls" which caused roars of laughter
at his own expense. He tangled up VIII
liam Lloyd Garrison with jefferson and
jackson as eXemplars Of Democracy, and
said that he had seen Sullivan and Dryer
and others of the crowd standing on their
knees" before Chris Buckley begging for a
nomination.
After a few remarks from Judge G. w.
Fox the meeting broke up.
