FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT.
Enthus iastic Crowds Gather i'm Mass
Meeting.

Stewart MenZies, in calling the meeting
to order, said: "We are embled here
this evening for the purpose of aiding the
election of those parties we have nomi-
mated for Office in this city. At the present
time there is a moral reform movement in
this city calling for retrenchment in NUM-
cipal government. A moral revolution is
going on at present. and, if it is not ade-
Quate to give US reform In municipal
affairs, l am very much afraid we will
have to resort to ply steal force, as we did
in 1856. | was one Of the Vigilants who,
In 1856, brought about reform in nun icipal

with the votes of their henchmen in en-
deavorlng to carry on their corrupt
methods. we may be successful. and we
may be able to send the bosses and stuff
fers across that river over which there is
no return-never."
Loud applause greeted the chairman as
he concluded. 1t was the approval of the
thr0ng.
The quartet gave an interesting chorus
to the tune of Don't your hear them
BELLS" The subject of the refrain was a
call on the people to vote for all the pron:i-
nent Non-Partlsan candidates. Its con-
clusion rang:
Don't We hear them bells. don't ye hear them
bells;
They are ringing out for Estee and Millard
Enthusiastic applause greeted this song
and an encore followed, commencing,
''Wbo shall he be? Ellert the man." and
in conclusion, as in the foregoing quartet,
came the challenge, "Who shall we have
to govern the State? Estee's the man."

Then the speaker got after the bosses.
He spoke of Buckley, driven out of the
town, as he was by the Grand Jury over
which ne, The speaker, presided, returning
after some years to associate with another
such scOundrel as himself, Sam Rainey, to
control the party as before, and when Mr.
buckley came to town was he not always
to be found at Fourth and Townsend
streets, haYlng an easy-going chat with
the magnates there? And why was he
placed on the payroll there, with salary
OF $4,000 year, and as much more as he
could get hold Of?
Who was IL said that the people owed

Henley then told romantic story of a

The wonder will be, said the speaker,

The trouble arose during The speech of
DR.. York, campaign orator. He had
specially enjoined his audience to keep
quiet white he talked, but three young
men at the size of the hall persisted in
whispering, TO which the speaker seri-
onsiy objected. as it disturbed him.
Finally one of the trio called for
three cheers for Sutro, whereupon DIR.
York threatened to put them out, and
after lively discussion between the
orator and the trio they left the hall.
After this the speaker resumed his dis
cussiOn of the national issues and arragn-
ment of the old parties.
Adolph SutrO spoke briefly during the
evening. Among the others heard were:

Market street rarely has presented a
more animated appearance than it did last
night. A conglomeration of political pro-
cessions passed along the broad thorough
fare and at times 1t was blocked from wall
to wall.
The parade in honor of NJ. NJ. Estee at
tracted much attention. No attempJ had
been made TO make 1t an extensive affair.
The Alliance Club of Oakland and the
Union League Club of San Francisco
escorted the candidate from the Palace
Hotel out to Woodward's Garden, and,
preceded by a band, made gallant ap-
pearance.
The Alliance men were IN uniform and

The next speaker was James McNab,
Non-Partissn nominee for Sheriff, and
when his pane was called he was unable
to get hearing for several minutes. His
popularity was evidently immense ana he
was compelled TO stand for quite a long
time, while the assemblage cheered itself
hoarse. Finally McNab got hearing and
started in by saying he was very glad to
be there.
The Non-Partisan movement, said Ne
Nab, seemed to be all-absorbed. and there
was no doubt in the speakers mind that it
would be the leading ticket at the COMING
