MANUEL HAD REASONS.
Rev. Q. II. Hobart's Charges Of Fear OF
. Boycott Denied by the
Coun Gilman.


Boycott Denied by the
Councilman.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL
90S Broadway, March II.
The exchange of courtesies and dis
courtesies between Rev. c. II. Hobart and
Councilman Manuel was increased by an
other chapter to-day.
Mr.. Manuel says that his position is
quite defensibl- and gives three reasons
for acting as he did. He says first that the
ministers were undecided as to whether
they wanted absolute closing or Sunday
closing; secondly. the liquor men seemed
altogether too well satisfied to have both
questions submitted; thirdly, to have two
questions on the ballot would be 80 con-
fusing that the result would mean
nothing. In conclusion Mr.. Manuel says:
"You use the word boycott. 1t is often
sive TO me and originated IN the question
at issue among your own people. 1t has
no meaning so far as / am concerned. If
the whisky men and all their relatives, to-
gether with all the reverend clergy, saw fit
to boycott. me in any business in which l
might be engaged it would not influence
my action or my vote officially one iota.
And wantto say 10 you and to them that

account of threatened boycott t, Iwould be

four years past.
''In conclusion, Mr.. Hobart. Your pedes-
tai of morality may be painted a brighter
hue than mine, but your profession of
teaching men how to live would be better
taught by example than by precept. You

known to you, retractions do not always

sting is left behind to embitter the hearts
of those who might otherwise be induced
to accept legislative Office and be OF great
assistance in the cause of morality and
temperance.
