The morning call., 1892-11-08
PRICE FIVE CENTS.

But what could be expected of these
human leeches-thIs trio of tricky poltroons
who have resorted to every known species
OF fraud to promote their selfish ends.
Men have been bartered and sold before
IN tns same political junkshop on PhirI
street. and it is well that the business is
about to be closed ous.
There is said to be honor among thieves.
but it seems to have failed utterly In tb,.
instance.
| Convict cutthroats and murderers hsvs
been known to stand by each other, but the
| souls of such peddlers as the KeIIy-Crim-
mins-De Young crowd are dead to every
thing save the dollar.
Each would cheerfully sell the other could
a price be fixed.
Mr.. Easton went into the fight In good
faith. He differed from Others In his
politics. which was his privilege, but even
his political enemies will regret the great
| injustice done him at the hands OF his So
called friends.
But he has only himself to blame. 1t was
mistake for gentleman and man OF
| business to identify himself with party
Iod hu
unconvicted felons.
They made playthIng Of him. cleaned
out his purse and then threw him over for
for another candidate, In whom they see
faint shadow of hope, should they be able
| to elect him.
Such is politics as practiced by the Third
street harpies. the vultures who havs
thrved for years in :her Infamous traffic
Of buying and selling that which constl-
tutes the first principles of government.
Can any honest man vote the Republican
ticket after this sample of machine pelitics.
Are Kelly ana Crmmins to continue In
power2 For years they have bought and
sold and robbed the people collectively, and
it was only the fear of the law that pre-
vented them from going about with sand
bags. They have robbed and knitted Easton
politically.
For lesser crimes men have been sent 70
prison and the deed Of these thugs Is far
more heinous than if they had gsrroted
their man. for they first won his confidence
and then. Judas like. sold out to the enemy.
The honorable. decent Republicans of
San Francisco are now face to face with a
plain proposition.
1t is this:
| Shall L. r. Ellert, who has proved him
| self an honest official, good citizen and
an honorable business man, be Mayor Of
San francisco, CT shall O'Donnel, with his
criminal record. his boasts of being an ex-
Confederate soldier and his demagoguery.
be put ct the head Of thel municipal goy-
eminent?
Decent, honest Republicans. decent hon.
est Democrats and decent, honest, honorable
citizens of every party shudder at the
thought of man like ODonnell taking tns
reins OF government in this city.
Well may they tremble for the fate of San
Francisco if O'Donnell is at the helm.
1t is a plain proposition for the voters.
and in the hours between and 10 o'clock
last night the Non-P artisan ticket gained
thousands Of votes.
The labOring men are not fools OK
fanatics, and when they realize that O'Don-
nell readily accepted the Kelly Crimmins
vote. stultifying himself and giving the lie
to his every "anti-boss" utterance mads
during this campaign they said: 'No O'Don-
nell for u.s."
The safety of this city is in the hands of
the voters to-day Every man who has
home. wife. child. and every man who
hopes to have home will vote against the
fanatic O'Donnell. who wears the Kelly
and CrmmiDs collar, and vote for the one
man who has let his record as a public
official and citizen speak for him.
