The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1895-01-28

only those who were in attendance, but of
the many who could not find room in the
hall, were discussed on all sides, and the
almost unanimous opinion expressed was
that they voiced the feeling of the people
on the subject that has of late engrossed
the attention of so many.
There appeared to be but one sentiment,
and that was that the Reilly funding bill
should not pass.
These officials at Sacramento, who, in
the manner described by A. J. Bledsoe, the
Assemblyman from Humboldt, diverted
the resolutions adopted in the Assembly in
| opposition to the bill to refund the debt of
the Central Pacific, evidently with a pur-
! pose of preventing them from reaching the
Senate came in for good share of con-
domination and many expressed the
opinion that while the Legislature is seri-
ously thinking of investigating this, that
and something else, it might be well to
| appoint committee to investigate those
OF their own body who tempered with the
resolutions.
"Mayor Sutro, when seen at his resi-
dence at Sutro Heights yesterday, said,
"Since last night there is not much new
about the. Reilly bill, except that at 10
O'Clock this morning, [ received dis
patch from Washington which says: The
| resolutions adopted last night received
here at IL o'clock this morning. The lobby
is increasing
YES said the Mayor when asked if he
had read the expressions of Senators and
Congressman from California on the re-
funding BILL which were published in THE
CALL yesterday, II noticed what they said
but" he added with considerable signifi-
canoe in his tone, "they have not voted
yet.
'sAssemblyman Bledsoe was at lunch
here few hours since and gave his prom
Use to do all in his power to have the SEN
ate place itself on the right side of the rec
ord in this matter"
Are you still of the opinion that the
bill will passP"
| to prevent it. Now, know enough about
national legislation to know that six Sena-
tors can, if they want, prevent the passage
of any bill. They can talk, and there is
no limit to talking-yes," continued the
speaker, warming up uutil a little red
speck appeared above each cheek bone,
''they can talk and talk and talk and talk
a bill to death. That's what can be done
with this Reilly bill"
Turning from the Reilly bin to another
matter which occupied the attention of the
big meeting on the previous evening Mr..
Sutro said:
"The resolutions in regard to securing
work for deserving workingmen at this
time is one that will occupy the attention
OF the Legislature very shortly. How 1t
is not yet definitely settled; but several at
torneys have had the subject in hand for
several days. 1t is not unlikely that it will
take the shape of bill to suspend the one
twelfth act for time, so as to enable the
municipality to levy special tax to create
fund with which to pay men who are de-
serving for work that should be done. The
class of men l refer to are those who each
have a wife and children to support, who
h114 HI +or oh aiy1
any. There are times when it becomes the
duty of the Government to provide work
for those who need 1t. If they do not get
it bad results are sure to follow, and that is
what ought to be averted."
