phasiZed the fact.
sThree speakers had been regularly billed

W. Mathews presided over the meeting.
When Mr.. Sutro stepped upon the plat
form there came storm of applause.
Chairman Matthews of the Peoples
party County Committee called the meet
ing to order with a speech that was not too
long.
"This meeting" he said. sis the first of
a series Of grand rallies which are TO be
held from now until the end of the cam
paign." He then introduced B. K. Collier,
Populist nominee for Congress in the
Fourth District, who said:
Il expected to find the Republican can
didats who is my opponent at this meet
| ing. Also the Democratic nominee ought
to be mere in order that he might learn sal
walton. Any man who can stand ON the
| Cleveland platform is, In my opinion, very
much IN need of saving.
In all the history of nations there never
| has been one that stood, or could stand
the same to the end of time, because in ma
tons as in individuals there are the germs
of disease and death. Decay is certain to
! come. The nations of ancient Greece and
Rome decayed and died because a few men
had secured control OF all the useful and
necessary resources and utilities
| The speaker then eul0giZed the POpulst
candidate for Governor, j. V. Webster,
| and referred to his humble beginning 10
| life as a rail-spitter and Shing le-maker.
| Adolph Sutro was referred to as the only
man 10 California who had ever fought
! CORPORATION successfully. The names of
| both of these gentlemen were loudly
! cbeered. MIR. Collier said:
| 10 md man OF wealth and power at
| the head OF the labOring mans cause is
! something heretofore unheard of in the
WORLDS history. And yet, AdOlph Sutro
/ Is such man. While we have nominated
him for Mayor of this city tell you that
he is too big for it. He ought to be Presi-
! dent of the United States"
! Tell us what you are going to do when
you go 10 Washington" cried a voice.
whats that?" asked Mr. Collier. Il
was not aware that l came here for that
| purpose l came TO speak of the Peoples
party. The POpulists are simply opposed
| to Democrats and Republicans alike. The
| PODulsts do not want any more bonds or
bondage: They want liberty Tor them
selves, their wives and their children"
| In referring TO the Republican State
| ticket. Mr.. Collier said it was Dan Burns
and Chris Buckley ticket, pure and SIM
! pie. Whatever Burns wanted Buckley
would grant it, and whatever Buckley
| wanted Burns would give freely Burns
nominated the ticket because Buckley said
| thus and so aud Stowe said so aud the
| Southern Pacific OF Kentucky also said
| thus and So.
| The next speaker was AdOlph Sutro,
candidate for Mayor, who said:
| Five weeks from now the people of San Fran.
| cisco Will be called upon 10 decide whether we
shall hereafter be slaves or freemen, whether
we shall elect set OF officials who wear The
collar OF The octopus such men as are
! patriotic citizens who have the welfare of the
common wealth at heart.
Strange does it seem that there should be any
doubt about IL.
Gu the one hand we see aTrayed all the peo-
| pie; on the other set of highwayiuen and
robbers, who defy the people 10 defeat their
candidates There must be something radically
wrong when such question at all arises
| What Is II? Ii there were bur two parties in
tile field and but one issue The battle would be
won Def0re the election. Nlne.lenths of the
people would be found arraye0 on one side
while the other side would make such a miser.
able showing that they would become the
laughing stock of the public
How then, say, Is 1t possible that there
should be any doubt about the result of the
election? grave doubt exists. how ever, for
the managers OF The octopus the bosses, have
so arranged as 10 divide the people. while they
represent solid phalanX under one general
with perfect unity OF action. In battle, when
two armies meet face TO face, it has ALWAYS
been considered good genefalsbip to make a
felnt attack In front and then attack IN force IN
his ranks In twain. That's what our opponents
propose TO do with US. We are divided into
half dozen parties. while tie enemy has but
one solid body, with but single object in view
They manage 10 divide the people into Demo-
Gratis, Republicans Popultsts Non Partsans
ODonneilltes and Prohibitionists, and when
election day comes they will concentrate all
their forces upon one ticket, and throw all the
rest overheard.
Why should the people allow themselves TO
be thus defeated? AS matters stand lie Sou h.
ern iacitc of Kentucky Will carry the day ex-
cept you, the people. Will give up allegiance to
| the old parties and all unite upon one set of
Candidates opposed TO the octopus first, last ana
all The time. Tie bosses control both the Dem
! ocraic and Republican parties On election
you will ind that they viii desert one party and
concentrate all their efforts on the other and
that Will be the Republican party. The Demo-
Gratis Will be SOLD out 10 insure victory for the
octopus.
! II all opposing elements could be concen-
| trated on one ticket victory would be insured
but, union tunalely, the Non Partisans divide
! the peoples strength with the POpusts Let
last effort be made TO favor a fusion of the
! TWO parties and present but one ticket so far as
tie municipal election is concerned. That
! would unite the people against the common en-
envy ana good. honest, upright local govern
ment would in all probability be secured. Drop
petty jealouses and riyalries- Let your patriot
Ism rise above private interests aud The good 10
! the country Will be the result.
Many people say they and their fathers nave
| always voted the Democratic or Republican
tickets, ana they are going 10 vote IL this time.
Such men do not reflect. Both these parties
are simply used Dv the common enemy as Stool.

what have the national principles TO do with
our local Government? The question TO be de-
cided Is, Are we TO be slaves or free men?
Are we 10 be robbed or have good honest
Government? Those ale the questions which
affect our welfare and our very existence.
