JOE KELLY'S ROAST.
Will Turn the Tables on the Exam inc
TO-MorrOw Night.


Will Turn the Tables on the Examiner
To-Morrow Night.
One of the joyous features of this COM
plicated campaign will be Joseph P.
Kelly's own mass-meeting at Metropolitan
Temple tomorrow night.
Kelly, the regular Democratic candidate
for Congress in the Fifth District, has
tired somewhat Of the Misrepresentation
and the uncalled-for partisan abuse which
the Examiner has been showering upon
him in the progress of its fight for the un-
known Populist fusion candidate, and he
has hired Metropolitan hall for to-mor-
row evening for the express purpose of
taxing newspaper, and to Mr.. Hearst as q
man and journalist of much unworth.
Mr.. Kelly, it is understood, will say
some highly in interesting things in his an
swer to the Examiner and some of the
people who run it. He has some mat
ters of history to present, and it is vaguely
limited by some of Kelly's friends that he
may talk about Mr.. Hearst in fully as per-
sonal way as Mr.. Hearst has talked about
him.
John D. Grady, late of Fresno, its poll
tics and its McWhirter case, will also
speak from the stage; and Mr.. Grady, it
is said. will have some things of consid-
cradle interest and force to say.
Altogether, the big anti-Examiner meet
ing at Metropolitan Hall tomorrow night
promises to be one of the most interesting
mass-meetings of this present campaign,
ana the big hall will probably be crowded
as densely as it ever has been in its cam
paign history.
Mr.. Kelly s experience is also very fair
illustration of the degree of political IN
f1uence exercised by the Examiner, the
,Go ~ "A s,A
by the Democrats, which is making the
candidate of the Democrats of the Fifth
District the subject of daily roast. while
it tries to boost into Congress good
natured Populist health inspector named
Kinne, who was nomited by Gator and
Wardell instead of the people of the dis
trict.
Five small politicians controlled by q
small clique turned down Kelly after he
was selected by the people in the Demo-
cratic way by regular convention. This
little political job has been warmly backed
by the Examiner. but it is daily more ap-
parent that the Job and the Examiner are
being repudiated by the Democrats of the
district who do not relish being sold out.
On last Saturday the Democratic County
Committee OF San Mateo County held a
meeting at which all the sixteen members
were present. The following resolutions
were adopted by a heartily unanimous
vote:
WHEREAS, The Hon. Joseph P. Kelly is the
regular nominee for Congress in the Fifth
Congressional District, in whose nomina ton
the State representatives OF the Democracy OF
this county favorably participated; therefore,
be it
ResolUed. That in justice to the sentiments of
the Democracy of San Mateo County, as voiced
in the action of It's representatives, Joseph P.
Kelly be recommended to the Democra tic
citizens of this county for their recognition
and support.
This is an interesting indication of the
successful progress of the fusion deal and
Of the influence of the party organ" Mr..
Kelly is receiving similarly hearty sup
port in Santa Clara County and in San
Francisco from Democrats generally who
understand that the Examiner has mo-
tives OF its own and that it is dumping"
the party this year as 1t has generally
done before.
