Bitter Attacks.
Mike dc Young's Campaign Of Lies Falls
Flat, as His Own Men Will Not
Support Him.
THEY WILL HELP TO ELECT him.

A long and bitter campaign of falsehood
will be closed by the Chronicle to-day.
In order to boost brazen Mike de Young
into the United States Senate that sheet has
made lying an especial feature Of its politi-
cal literature.
1t has lied about Mr.. Ellert from start to
finish.
1t has declared that the Anti-Dive League
was against him, when its members were
the most enthusiastic Of Non-Partisans and
the strongest of his supporters.
1t has declared that the clergy was against
him, when the exact reverse of that state
ment was true, the great majority OF our
leading diyinss being with him, and only
few weaklings, controlled by the Chronl-
Gle. being foolish enough to oppose the
great reform movement that he represents.
1t has declared Mr.. Elert to be bad
inancier. when he is one Of the BEST if not
the best we ever had in the Board of Super
| yis0rs.
1t has declared that Mr.. Ellert's true name
was Levi Rothsehild Ellert. thus seek
| ing 10 gain votes among the enemies OF the
Hebrews, although it knew that his name
| was Richard and not "Rothsehild." But
| this lie gained many more votes for the
Non-Partisan candidate than il lost him,
| as both Jew and Christian resent the in
| tended insult to our reputable Hebrew ele-
| ment.
1t has declared that the old soldiers and
sailors of the League were against Mr.. ELL
| ert, when they had unanimously indorsed
| his candidacy and will support him to man.
| This lie has acted as another boomerang, as
| such lies always do.
Ii has even gone so far as to assert that
the Salvation Army had been prosecuted by
| Mr.. Ellert, when the leaders Of the army
are strong in their declarations that by no
word nor deed has that gentleman ever op-
posed them.
