The San Francisco call., 1899-07-27
MORE EXAMINER MENDAClTY.

7 N its issue OF yesterday the Examiner charges The
| Call with having assumed the attitude OF cham
pion Of Christopher A Buckley and with aiding
William F. Herrn the representative of the Hunting
ton monopoly in the work of meeting its v1trlollc
Nominations against that resuscitated boss. 1t also
repeats its accusation OF subserviency by The Call
to Kelly and Crimmins.
All these assertions the Examiner absolutely knows
to be false. It's campaign, under boss influences, IN
favor of Mayor Phean and Assessor Dodge is per
haps the lowest and most contemplate in Our munich
pal history. Condoning extenuating the crimes
against public decency for which Boss Rainey is re-
sponsbe initiated its present struggle for the mu-
ncipal spos by series of fasehoods, which it has
now reiterated and by repubshing its own particu-
lar version of Boss Buckleys record That represen-
tative of uncean politics retorted in kind, but more
acuely and with direct and conclusive evidence that
the Examiner deep in the mud as he had been
in the mire The opportunity furnished by this sud
den quarrel between ancient allies too good to be
lost Without taking sides, in the interest of good
citizenship as we'll as OF its own party The Call pub
shed Christopher A Buckley's version of the former
relations between the Examiner and himself, and at
the time offered to print any rejoinder that
might be furnished 1t thus rendered a valuable pub
lie service, and is be observed that while Boss
Buckley and the Examiner confront other with
lowering brows and with eyes gtterng with rage,
no answer to Boss Buckleys specific explanation OF
former intimacy in the realm of municipal corruption
has even been attempted.
The revelations both sides disgusting and
vivdy delneate before the people the true and
the veracious history of the combinations that de-
graded San Francisco until during this present year
the Republican party, aided by The Call, determined
introduce sweeping and lasting reforms into polt
ical management The Examiner is probably the
most arrant hypocrite in the United States. Its
venomous falsehoods render it personally nnocuous.
But that with record dripping with filth, in which
both the past and the present involved it should
impudently assume the attitude of public censor, IS
phenomenon that defes imitation.
The organ Of the fusion Democracy with Sam
Raney behind it pretends to advocate decency within
the ranks of its party, and claims that, through
the manipulation of William F. Herrn, indorsed by
The Call the Republican organization is under the
control of Kelly and Crimmins. These are deliberate
and palpable alsehoods that will be detected and
appreciated by every respectable voter in San Fran
cisco. Within the Republican party to all appear
ances, the boss system has been utterly and finally
overthrown Daniel NJ. Burns was defeated for the
Federal Senate and in every effort to dominate the
State and the municipality William F. Herrin, and
all the influences he represents, have only been
confronted but ANONYMOUSLY beaten. They have
utterly failed in the attempt control the preliminary
Republican organization for the approaching munich
pal campaign, and have thus been thwarted down to
the present date in the conspiracy to deliver Caor
MIA to the fusion Democracy next year to which the
Examiner has lent all the assistance in its power.
There is nothing bad in party management for
which the Examiner and its shadowed Philistnes do
not stand. But the Republicans OF the State have
controlled the unclean elements within their
ranks, have achieved brilliant victories monopo-
listc usurpaon, degrading bosism and all classes OF
corruptonists, and have supplied guarantees for
nicpal officers who will gain success upon their
merits and not through ilegitimate combinations.
The Examiner has inaugurated low and sour
rous canvass but when the election takes place. it
will probably discover its inability to swing the or
to project the spear This will be Republican year
