14 THE REY. FATHER YORKE DENOUNCES THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1898. CANDIDATES PHELAN AND MAGUIRE Mims the “Hefting” Mayor Stands in the Forefront of Bigatry and Intolerance Both Men Pronounced Moral Cow- ards, Mrald to Fight for Great Principles for Fear of - Los- Ing 2 Few Votss. The Rev. Peter C. Yorke, chancellor of the archdiodgse of San Francisco, lec- tured lest night for the last time in Cali- fornia prior to his departure for Europe in quest of health. The eloquent priest spoke In the great Exposition building in Oakland for the benefit of the Church of | the Immaculate Conception, of which the | venerable Father King is pastor. | The lecturer was introduced by John‘ Lynch, who spoke of him as one dear to the heart of every loyal Catholic and of | every lover of liberty. He prayed that he might return safely, fortified to battle for years to come among the people who love him so dearly. The applause which greeted Father Yorke was continued -for some time after he stepped forward: He created a decided sensation among his auditors by his arraignment of James G. Maguire, Democratic candidate for Governor, and of Mayor James D. Phelan, candldate for re-election in this city. In opening he reviewed the fight against bigotry which had been carried on during the past five years. This, he sald, ‘was not at an end, as so long as men are men the fight must be maintained. He alluded to the bonfires and promises of candidates and satirized their promising everything before election and forgetting after elec tion. He laid down the principles on which the fight was made: “First, we were not seeking privileges, only seeking equal rights; second, never to trust any political party, he had never favored any ‘Darty or candidate except as they Etood for the principle for which he is contending; third, although this religlous fight was made against us not to make: religious fight in return, and, lastly, we do not | respect persons. We do not respect rich | men more than poor. These are our principles.” Father Yorke then went exhaustively | into his controversy with Dr.-C: A. Clin- | tin, the Supervisor, over the management | of the'Sailors’ Home, which he said had | been & sectarian institution for -forty | years. Regarding the part Mayor Phe-| lan played in keeping it sectarian, he | said: “He stands- to-day San Francisco before the people of oving the actien of the men who say public moneys | shall go to sectarian uses. ~ He stands as the representative of the men who: say | that Catholics have no_equal rights in our pubic institutions. He stands ‘as the apologist-of -tne -men who broke every , and the most sacrea pledge of that of - religious liberty; and 'he as. their- apologlst, because he s s afraid of losing { a . i pledg al ““An effart was made to change the sec: tarian character of -the 'home. - When this matter was brought to. the:atténtion of the Mayor, Mr. Phelan, he returnéd the ordinance to-the Supervisors, telling them the-laws should be. fulfilled. - It ‘was. passed again when they had .fulfilled the. law by giving the proper number of ad-: vertisements, and . again it-came ‘before Mr. Phelan. He stated ' then-.that':tha board had encugh votes to"pass-it:-over. his veto, and that, therefore,. it wouldbe little use for him to veto -it.. ‘He :stated that he thought he could get some- con- cessions from this sectarian ‘board:if he signed the ordinance.

So, though the Mayor of the city signed the ordinance, I have never thought it my duty to call him to account Tor it e e_frie of Dr. Clinton -and'.the other Supervis that Phelan was as guilty as they. were, and that I did not dare mention him because he was a rich man. I.did not-mention his name because I thought then he did the Dbest he could, and even if afterward he has done wrong, and grievous.and shame- ful wrong, I did not think that we, who are fighting in the cause of liberality, should deny him. the credit when he <dld Tight After the passing of the ordinance and the slgu(ni thereof the matter rested until it chanced that I became ill and was compelied to go under medical treatment, ave said Mr. ADVERTISEMENTS.

Eloquent Defender of the Catholic YORKE, Valiant and Then the chivalrous and brave ‘Doctor Politiclan’ comes to the Board of Super- visors behind the petticoats of the women who compose the society for the govern- ment of the Sallors’ Home and in their name delivers an attack upon me and upon my motives. me before I was dead. Fortunately other people answered him in the papers, and again and again I went over the ground, showing the wrong he had done and chal- lenging him to explain his vote or to give any reason in the wide world that might justify him; and though he wrote page after page and filled column after column, all he could say was that I was a llar and that he was perfectly right. “Thus things went on until the time came when the Democratic party of San Francisco, or that portion of it which is composed ‘of the Committee of One Hun- dred, began the task of nominating men for office. I received-many messages from { Mr. Phelan in regard to these men who had voted for turning over the Ballors’ Home to the sectarian institution, and who besides had done more. It has al- ways been our principle in -this fight not only to oppose those who have taken the oath of bigotry, but also to. oppose those who have been indorsed by the A. P. A. This seems a hard and a stringent polic but it is a policy which was absolutely | necessary, because so long as a politiclan could profit by A. P. A. votes so long would there be an A. P. A..soclety to sell its votes. Yet this Board of Bupervisors went so_far when the city Treasurership of San Francisco became vacant to elect thereto 'a man who took the A. P."A. in- dorsement when the A. P. A. had plenty of votes—one -Christian Rels, who wen before . the people - of San Franciaco ~as the nominee of that society that _had sworn to deprive Catholics of their daily bread. ““When ‘the ‘time cama: that the com- mittes of -one hundred was. to nominate men -for -office, -Mr. - Phelan sent- to: me and. asked me what was my position cofi- cerning these men. : I sald to him—re- member I am doing & thing ‘that:poll- ticlans ‘hate; I am telllng you:the ‘truth 4nd the.whole truth—I said- to: him that an attempt: had' been made:to represent this trouble: as & -personal quairel .be- tween Dr. Clinton and myself;that :Dr. Clinton’s:friends had been circulating the statement-that I-had- no objection to him whatsoever, exceépt that he had-insulted mie. .~ Ladles - and ' gentlemen,. I""do not think I rieed to.answer the charge. that there. is.any politician of the ‘caliber of Dr.. Clinton” from whom -1 could recéive an insult- (Applause,) - Yet at the same time, a5’ the effort.was made, to make it appear a personal quarrel; I.was extreme- 1y fearful -lest .any -one ‘should think..it €6; and having Jaid it down among our. first. prihciples that We weré not respec- ters-of persons, I ‘would' consider myself a bétrayer of the sacred cause of liberty if I should allow .my Yer,sana] feellugs to draw me into & quarrel with any man and urge vou to turn from any- man simply because of my. persorial sentiments. ““Phis cause I8 too sacred for personality, and may my hand be withered and .iny ‘tonguecledve te the roof of my »mmnK if 1. would drag personality inte a cause where. are. at ‘stake the equal.rights “of my Catholic’ brethren. - (Great applause.) T told him that 8o anxious was I that this | thxnfi should not be considered as a. per- sonal question -that if Dr. Clinton, as the leader of these men, ¢ould give any kind gt an explanation why he voted for that Saflors’ Home management so -that T might be able to say that, If it was an error of judgment it was not a betrayal of our principles; if .Dr.. Clinton - would write any kind of an explanation at al] that ‘I could lay before.the. people and: say. to them, ‘Let this satisfy you,’ that too, would be satisfied. . ‘ +I had to leave the clty during the time the converition was going on;j -but I left word at the Monitor office that any kind of a letter at all that he might. send should be printed and put befire the peo- ple—so anxious was I to end: this coiitro- versy, and to set him right with his own people..- Dr. Clinton refused t¢ give any explanation of his vote. --Dr.. Clinton did not dare to tell the reason ‘why he had voted to turn ‘over municipal ‘property to @ sectarian institution. 3 2 “In. regard to his protestations of in-' dépendence, Dr. Chnton bears: the same relation to J. F..English that Delany, for instance, bears to.Rainey. J. F. English made Dr. Clintén-and put him in polities;. ana Dr. Clinton, worships .his maker: < F. English is in the commission business and - sells - potatoes and oniors and such things. Up to' a few months ago—thls Voting that I have spoken of took place in.the summertime—and on" the 1st _of September I learned from Larzalere & Co. of 320 Davis street that up to a few months before that time they had- sup- lied potatoes and onions to the Sailors’ ome. At that date the superintendent ‘| ot the Sailors’ Home began to drive up to the warehouse of Dr. -Clinton's friend and get his onlons and his potatoes for.the .instititfon. (Laughter and’ applause.) . “‘Of course, one good turn deserves-an- other, and it is an instructive and edifyin, fact. that the vote of Dr. Clinton shouls be rewarded \2’ snnronago for: Dr. Clin- ton’s friend. nd so the honorable ‘Po- tato’ Clinton (laughter) was not able to give a reason why he had voted to turn over the Sailors’ Home to a sectarian soclety, but preferred to remain silent in the absence of any reason.” B “It was stated to the Committee of One Hundred and to Mr. Phelan, who was the mainspring of the committee and nomi- nated the members thereof, with the ex- ception of one or two, that in the absence two of our leading physicians a good trial, but neither of them helped her in the least. 1 purchased CUTICURA SOAP, CUTICURA (ofnt- ment), and CUTICURA RESOLVENT, and com- menced using them as follows: After bath- ing I wiped her with a soft linen cloth, applied CUTICURA (ointment) freely,and gave her the RESOLVENT regularly. She improved at once and is now never troubled, although we have used less than one bottie of RESOLVENT, three boxes of SALVE, and of course CUTIOURA SoAp. The statements I have made are abso- Jutely true and not exaggerated in any way. ‘Would also say you have my permission to publish this, should you wish. March 1, 1898, ROB. A.

A. They had bY their votes taken the stand that Catholles in San Franeisco did not have equal rights with non-Catholics. They had taken the stand.that public roperty should be turned over to sec- arian uses, and they had taken that stand with such a vigorous and such ‘de- termination that they would not conde- scend to ever inform the eofl,'ne why they had taken it. It was told him then that by nominating these men he was approv- ing of their actlon in the matter of the Sallors’ Home, and that he was taking the side of‘the bigots who had fought him two years ago and that he was betraying the men and the women.who had made many a sacrifice to put him in the chair where he then sat. . What was Mr. e- lan’s answer? ‘“What was the answer of the man who Fortunately he kicked | ‘and as clearl, of | list,’ ‘or feared that h was l;lch enough not to fear any poli- ticlan? “What was the answer of the man who findr ?:I;Th:w office on the flood ‘t;l‘dd of 4 Was the answer of the man’ aced J l"‘So.'l.n the same “way, whom we might h: expected, from his name and race, he would stand for every- thing that was good and liberal and 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 down to the city front to take up an in- dorsée of ' the . P. A., one Stewart Menzies, in deflance . of the 1liberal sentiment of S Francisco, deflance of the people who ~had stood by him and who had elected “him. Mr. Phelan stands to-day in the fore- front of the ranks of bigotry and in- tolerance. “Mr. James .G. Maguire_ . (applause). Just wait! (Laughter.) - Mr. James G. Ma. guire holds a peculiar position before the people of San Francisco and before the peo- ple of California. He 15 engaged now in & canvass for the position of Governor of this State. Some years ago Mr. Maguire, when he was a Judge on the Superior bench, so far forgot his judicial impa tiality' as to descend into the arena of re- liglous controversy. He wrote a book entitied “The Pope and Ireland,’ in which {f he did not show knowledge of the sub- | ject, he showed at least a virulence that s popularly -credited to those who are renegades from their mother’s. faith and | turncoats to their father’'s principles and Still, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. | aguire's opinions are fils own: and if he | 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 o so. I have never spoken against the A. P. A's 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 1834 that Mr. ‘Maguire was an A. P."A. I did not think that the mere “fact that he .dif- fered-from me in my:opinion ‘about our Holy :Father was sufficient for me to con- in | taken up the cry against James G. Ma- guire because he wrote a book upon Ire- land and the Pope. r. James G. Ma- gulre is at perfect liberty in his book to | express his preference for the Vicar of Hell over the Vicar of Christ. Mr. James G. Maguire knows his own friends best. (Laughter and applause.) Mr. James G. Maguire may have so far forgotien the judicial impartiality that belonged to his Station as to step down from the bench and gather up ail the calumnies of the supers and the jumpers and the libel- mongers against lreland and, the Pope. | He may have forgotien that neither he nor any man of his name or race could | haVe sit in the position which he occu- | pled were it not for the self-sacrifice of | irish Catholics. i | Mr. James G. Maguire may have been forgetful of the very nhand that helped | him in"his time of need. He was fed | by the Jesuits when as yet he was a | stranger in San Francisco “and knew not | how " profitable gratitude might be+ | come. He betrayed the party that first gave him preferment; turned his light | affections "to another faction, again changed his coat the third time and the | fourth time came back to a party for the sake of office. These matters are beyond my comprehension. “But one thing I will speak about, and I have a right to speak ‘about, and that is, when religious liberty was imperiled-in this _commun was dumb. When bigotry was rampant in the halls of Congress in’ Washington Mr. James G. Maguire's voice was neyer raised in opposition to it. When your Dr. | Dille was able about the 3d of July, 1896, | to claim Mr. Maguire as the Catholic champion of A. P. A.-fsm on this coast, Mr. James G. Maguire never thought i worth his while to put in a diselajmer. Never once, by word or deed, would he put himself on the same side as the people from whom he sprung, and who since he | was able to walk have put the bread in his stomach and the clothes upon his back. (Applause.) | ‘Mr. Maguire Is now lifting u£ hig voice | against his opponent on the Republican ticket as a man who is tied down to cor- orations and who dared not call his soul s own.

I believe that when a corpora- | tion is an opponent of religious liberty | that we should fight the corporation. 1| do not belleve, and you do not believe, | and no man of liberal tendencies believes | that we should betray religious liberty | for the sake of beating a curpurallon.i There are things higher than politics..| There are thlngts g!gher than mere suc- | cess, and one of these thin, 3 ! gess, and gs is religious | “I do not care if Gage were tied down | to ten thousand corromuons. I know this: Four years ago in Los Angeles he stood on the floor of the Republican con- vention when that convention was con- trolled by A. P.

He was hooted off the floor by the beetle-browed and left their com- | pany a man and a hero. (Great applause). | ‘“When the same question came before Mr. James G. Maguire he shuffled and he evaded it, and he stood on one foot, and stood on the other foot (laughter) and tried to dodge, and he tried to shift. At the end, when it was put to him so clearly that he couid not any longer do either, he responded by taking his stand with Dr. Clinton, who is the exponent of the idea, by his vote, that Gatholics are not entitled o, equal rights. (Great applause). “I do not believe in bringing religion into any political fight. I do not beileve in fighting a man because he wrote a book in which he expressed his opinions and they happened to differ from mine. But | 1 do believe in flghlinfi every man and in | fighting every party that says that 1 and my fellow-Catholics have net as much right in this country as men of any other denomination. (Great apglnusa.) “I-reflect upon the fact that Jallbird Price, who since his liberation. from San Quentin has been running an official A. P. A. paper, is hot for Maguire; I. reflect Zpen the fact that every A. P. A. from | Siskiyou to-San Diego. "who recails his | denunciation against them is out against Gage. 1 reflect ‘upon these facts, and I cannot and will . not believe that the eaple of California who two years ‘ago ought and -won the battle for religious freedom will forget that when_this is- sue was -put - before James G. Maguire James G. M?ulre took the side of the man_who said that Catholics ‘'had not as much rights as other men. Ah! James G. Maguire, false to “your mother's creed; false to your father's people, you needed but this crowning-infamy that you should be false to your own plighted word! - *Now, ladfes " and gentlemen, I have triéd to do that of which politicians. are demn him. I investigated the matter and found-that it 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 mgm.‘f T- | sonally sending out circulars contradict- ing this report, because I did niot believe | that "liberality. demands injustice in .a | champlori; I'do not think.that because a | man differs from me ‘in belief thereforé | 1 should oppose him in politics. : For-this, | ladies and gentlemen, 1 asked no thanks and I expected no gratitude. But one thing I did expect, one thing-I had a right to look for, and that was that, after pledging my word for him, Mr. James G. Magufre would not make a liar-of me by going over.and doing the very thing for which the A. P. A.'s weré opposed. ‘““When he bégan to run -for Governor this year it becamie necessary for him.to appoint his campaign committee. - That: campaign committee.is his cabinet.

Frarcisco for good Democrats to help in his campaign thought he could not choose any one bet- ter than this ‘same Dr. C.-A. Clinton, who had by his vote declared that Catho~. lics were. not entifled to-equal rights in their own city. After he put him on his campalgn committee he began to see the consequences of what he had done, and to realize that his action was an approval of o most bigoted vote and course. “Not-at my request, but of his own volition, accompanied by my friend, Mr. James H. Barry of the Star,ja Democrat, an@ Mr. Edward -Donnelly of San -Fran: cisco, a Rep,hlbllcan, he came to my office to explain his action. He told me that when Dr. Clinton was put’on the cam- palgn committee he knew nothing of his acton in.the matter of which 1 have ‘spoken. He acknowledged himself, when T had placed the facts and figures ‘before him, that he ‘owed it to himsélf to re- ?udiflte the suggestion which his action n putting him on. the campalgn commit- tee cunvged—(hax he was ‘indorsing bigotry. He saw as clearly as you see, as 1 see, that putting "him in chlt position was an approval of hig vote. ..

The greatest consternation relgned when Kane and his deputies walked through the alley and proceeded to serve tne women with the formal notice to vacate. They lost no time in notifying the owriers. of the numerous houses, who quickly re- paired to the scene. They held a sort of an indigation meet- | ing and resolved to face Kane with a view to ascertaining the cause of his: action. Kane explained that he considered Ba- con place a menace to public morals and decided to close it. Notwithstanding the protests of the owners, Kane continued tices to vacate.
