The San Francisco call., 1898-11-01

whom we might have expected. from his name and race, he would stand for every
 noble?
 His answer was that he could not af-
 ford to turn down these men for having
 voted against this principle, for fear he
 might lose votes, and so he put them on
 his ticket. So, to seal his infamy. he went

 MT. James G. Mcguire (applause). Just wafti Gaughter.) MT. James c. Ma. guiTe9 holds % Is peculiar position before the pie of California. He is engaged now in 8. canvass for the position of Governor of this State. Some years ago MT. Mcguire, bench, so far forgot his judicial impar- tiality as to descend into the arena of re- entitled The Pope and Ireland in which If he did not show knowledge of the sub Ject, he showed at least yirulence that is popularly credited to those who are renegades from their mothers. faith and turncoats; to their fathers principles and people Still, ladies and gentfemen, Mr
 
 wishes to. write a book. no matter. on what subject, in a country In which we are guaranteed liberty. of speech and free dom of religion, he has full liberty to do so. .<'.s
 T have never spoken against the A. P. A g because they were Protestants or be- cause they were opposed to the Pope. have spoken against them, because they deny equal rights to me and mine. There fore, when the cry went out in 1894 that MT. Mcguire was an A. F. A. l did not think that the. mere fact that he diff fered from me in my: opinion about our, Holy Father was sufficient for me to con demn him. I investigated the matter and found: that 1t was a campaign lie and took action publicly and authoritatively to contradict It. On the eve of. the election day of 1894 I remained up all night, per sonalIy sending out circulars contradict Ing this report, because 1 did not believe that liberality, demands injustice in a :champion; do not think that because man differs from me in belief therefore I should oppose him in politics. For. this: ladies and gentlemen. | asked, mo. thanks and I expected no gratitude. But one right to look for. and that was that, after pledging my word for him, Mir. James c. Mcguire would not make liar of me by going over. and doing the very thing, for which the A. P. As were opposed.
 When he began to run for Governor this year 1t became necessary for him to appoint his campaign committee. That J campaign committee is his cabinet. They are appointed personally by him. With them he consults, and they manage his fight. MT. James G. Mcguire, in looking among the citizens of San. Francisco for good Democrats to help in his campaign thought he could not choose any one bet ter than this same pr. C.. A. Clinton, who had by his vote declared that Catho-. lies were not entitled to equal rights In their own city. After he put him on his campaign committee he began to see the consequences of what he had done, and to realize that his action was an approval of most bigoted vote and course.
 ,oi}ftnn Not at my EeqaeSsti eS m but Of his oWn James 1T. Barry of the Star, "a Democrat, and MT. Edward Donnelly of San Fran cisco, a Republican, he came to my office when pr. Clinton was put on the cam paign committee he knew nothing of his action in: I5 the matter of of. which hi have I had placed the facts and figures before | him, that he owed 1t to himself to re- Pudiate the suggestion which his action tee conveyed-that he was indorsing | bigotry. He saw as clearly as you see, | in that position was an approval of his | vote.
 After the matter had. been called in | question in this way, and without any | of 9 politician (applause),. MT. James c. | Mcguire said: 's'I must take him off this 1 list and he pledged fb ns word to do so James G. Mcguire, who speaks SO much | of American liberty and liberality, found | or feared that he would. lose votes If he | took pr. Clinton's name off, and. being afraid of losing votes, C1inton's name to | this moment remains upon his campaign | committee, as a testimony that James c. | Mcguire dare not live up to his principles 1 (Applause)
