Colonel O'Byrne poured forth his elo-
qrence loyalty. He told that the creden-
tlals committee at Sacramento adopted
the unit rule so as to wholly squelch the
friends they had in the committee.
II would like to know" said Mr.
OByrne, "if the Junta people could mus
ter such gathering as this. There IS
such an intense respectabillty among
many OF the Junta Democrats that they
would shrink from clasping the hard,
horny hands of many men in this body
who are true to their country and who
are ready to sustain their country in peace
or IN war OF such Democrats is this body
posed.
81 have taken stand with this organi-
zatlon and l will be true to the men l
stand with. In unity there is strength.
1he enemy may try to break up this
organization by taking men away in de-
tail, and if that is the policy OF the Junta
L ask you to stand firm and not desert
your friend and neighbor. In ancient
punished with death, and he who
now fails or falls or remains neutral
deserves political death. This is not the
time for oratory. The serred ranks are
not face to face. When that time comes
|, who come from a race that never turned
back to friend or foe, will stand with you,
and If We all stand together the people
shall rule here in this free and glorious
country of ours.'.
There were cries for Dunno, but Peter F.
Dunno was not present and M. J. Donovan
responded to bowling calls. He spoke of
Sacramento, the packed jury, the billings
gate that was successfully opposed to evil
dence, and the lis votes for gold in the
Junta delegation
"Thls committee has done one thing, 4"
continued Donovan. I'VE forced the
Junta to nominate James G. Mcguire for
Congress. This is evidenced by the fact
that less than one-half of the Junta dele
CATION voted to send him to Chicago. We
will keep on until we have not only
elected Mcguire, but municipal ticket
from top TO bottom.'
James III. O'Brien declined to take the
platform when orders to that effect were
howled at him.
"a few months ago." he said, ''at Metro
politan Hall, they said, We will adjourn
this committee sine die and you will never
hear OF them again They said
they adjourned sine die, but they
found us in the ring. Then they
said, We will get the State Committee
to recognize Us and that will be the end Of
them The State Committee recognized
them, and then they said, Well the State
Convention will end all trace of them.
TIE State Convention has been held and
here we are, never having held so large a
meeting as this of tonight.
Il suppose you have heard that I've
been heralded as candidate for Sheriff,
but | am not candidate for Sheriff or
anything else within the gift of the Demo
cratic party. | am satisfied to be a
humble mem Der of this General Commit
tee, which is the Democratic organization
OF San Francisco"
T. E. Treacy said that they represented
three-fourths of the Democratic voters.
He advised going slowly in the interest of
the whole party when great issue was at
stake, and spoke of the absolute necessity
OF uniting the party.
"All we want" he said, lis fair pri-
mary under the auspices of fair election
board, giving every good Democrat
chance 10 cast his ballot and have it
counted once. If that Can be we will have
a solid Democracy"
