The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1894-11-04

Amid the bus lie and excitement that
turned San Francisco topsy turvey
last night ODD Fellows Hall was
In the thick of it all. The Nom
Partisan party with its loud demand for
good government was assembled in mass
for a last rally before election day and the
crowds Of honest citizens were there to
ring out the old order, and to ring in the
new. And it was glowing success
The enthusiasm of the city centered
around Market and Seventh streets. The
blazing fires that cracked and sent up
shafts OF lurid light into the night. the red
fires that Illuminated the heavens, the
crash of military music, the cheers Of
eXultant crowds. the coming and going OF
transparency wagons, the passing of indie
pendent parades-all combined to make it
wonderfully significant gathering.
Long before o'clock came crowds from
every Assembly district in San Francisco.
Some came with music, some with banners.
and still others in clubs to join the throDg.
And nowhere else in all San Francisco, as
Barclay Henley truthfully remarked in
his speech, could such respectable gath
ering be seen last night-a gathering of
decent, law-abiding men and women,
grown hearlsick Of municipal rOttenness
and determined TO fight for honest govern
ment. On every face within the hall could
be seen an expression of earnestness,
fxity of purpose, and Joining with the
resolve was apparent the stamp of sin
ceTity, with that enthusiasm which conf
dsnce in ultimate success brings. Every
man and woman there had much at stake
1t was not merely to attend Nom
Partisan meeting and hear what was said
that caused them to sit still for three
solid hours, save when their thoughts
found EXPRESSION in applause. They felt
that their homes are in jeopardy from the
very viclousness permeatiDg boss rule and
reaching out to the little domestic circles
And they showed conelusively by their
moral support and feryent ndorsement of
the speakers that the Non-Partisan cause
Is theirs above all other considerations.
IL was study to look upon the stage
when rows of chairs were filed with ac-
tive workers of the N0n-Partisan party
Mostly old men were they with honored
gray heads, men who have lived in the
community they helped>to build up many
years ago, and who are to-day respected
for their high character.
These leaders represented the best eIe-
ment in every walk of life in San Fran
cisco. They have DO axes to grind. Their
fortunes and reputation are already real
lied, and the only incentive for their inter-
est in Non-Partisan affairs is an all-absorb-
Ing desire to give San Francisco good
government There were many young men
on the Stage, novices in politics but earnest
in intentions for better rule and Tor rule
by the best people instead of by the bosses.
