Mr. Chairman and gentlemen: In the course

Things incident to a discussion of the platforms
OF the various parties. 1t has been our pur-

Of this city but one issue, namely. the business

cipal government is business, not politics" We
have pointed to our record during the past
TWO years and as a guarantee of future
actions we stand upon our platform fortified
as it is by the record that we have made.
After all, gentlemen. to men who pay taxes
and live in San Francisco the question of city
government presents nothing else than the So
luton of the question: How shall our money
best be expended, in whose hands shall 1t be
administered the most honestly and to whom
shall We look for cleanliness and independence
pa1gn from different standpoints.s The stand
point of the nominee upon the Republican
ticket, as it has been well expressed in one
OF the daily papers, is the standpoint apparent
ly Of locality and refreshment. We have pre-
sented to you our views; have stated to
you distinctly and accurately principles
and what we believe to be the proper munich
pal policy of San Francisco upon every Ques-
tion that has been presented to US. We have
shirked nothing; we have refused to answer
nothing. We have stated accurately, distinct
ly, upon the stump from end of San Fran
cisco to the other what we conceive to be the
principles involved and what conceive to
be the proper answer to the issues presented
time we can do no more. l feel that behind
me will be found every man who is interested
in making the city Of San Francisco clean,
wholesome and uvable. 1 feel that behind
me November will be found every prac-
tical, honest, business-like citizen Of San Fran
cisco who wishes the city to advance, who
feels that the prosperity Of the city Is his
prosperity, who feels that municipal govern
ment Is business, not politics, and who feels,
know that the Democratic party during the
last two years has given honest, clean, de-
cent, elevating administration of city govern
