tribune has nothing but averse criticism on kearneas rear Kear neya speech at boston it says if anybody pauses to marvel over the mosaic he will merely be puzzled as in some other cases of mosaic to understand how people can be attracted by such an exhibition nevertheless a crazy pers ln properly exhibited can make a sensation in this country in other countries the police suppress such exhibitions of course tue tha burden of the speech was to show that every capitalist is a thief and every bondholder a lecherous thief thiet though why a bondholder should necessarily ba be more lecherous than other capitalists mr kearney did not atop stop to explain the newspapers were denounced as run in the interest of cutthroats cut throats political bilks daylight thieves and midnight assassins 1 1 and all because they report kearneas rear Kear sp speeches beches verbatim and thus make him familiar with their gross ul garity when he tries to talk sense to his hearers ho be finds it

fanny that he should recount how the california workingmen had been deceived in the demagogues and politicians whom they elevated to office for a time and how they had bad only found relief finally by throwing over the political bummers and electing none bat poor obscure arti artl sanol to office all this was exceedingly funny in fr view of the fact that mr kearney a mission to massachusetts Is to help elect ben butler Gc governor vernor of the state a man who to far from being a poor obscure artisan is a bloated capitalist a protected manufacturer er and political bummer what was not so funny

be time enough for them to determine what they would do after they had captured the state from a partisan print point of view Kear rear neya advice in this regard was certainly shrewd though fortunately the advice is more difficult to follow than to give for no factions are more obstinate in their theories and hobbles hobbies than the factions of the so called workingmen in politics 6

ever heard speak he has no facts no statistics and if I 1 can read lead sigus feigns aright a few more victories victorie s like that of monday night will ninish finish his career forever the people were wore tired of him lons ions before be he was done and several left the hall before his speech was ended the impression in assion I 1 came away with was aff iff that t ho he had been looking about him carefully since he came here and that the vast difference between this and the one lie ho glories in representing had been borne on him in a way to take all the starch out of his stock in trade he had found too that nobody wanted his hia indecency and that his hia profanity was not much needed either I 1 confess to a great disappointment I 1 went to the meeting expecting to hear the cause of the workingman and he has a cause set forth by one of hla hia fellows follows who was dead in lla earnest I 1 found a big blustering schoolboy who put me off with bombastic words one long silly utterly pointless story about a crown and an old woman illustrating nothing and never a facca statistic a statement of principle nor an appeal to anything in the intelligence hearts cr souls of his hearers in california his bid great card was chinese here he finds that falls flatland fla tand on monday night he tried to raise some feeling on the subject but could not raise a spark shark he only broko a few moments on this question and seeing that his hearers cared nothing for it he let it drop As soon as he be had ended his speech he left the hall and the interest that lad had come dangerously nigh fl once or twice died away with a faint party cheer butler was not there but his spirit was and kearney and all the crowd present were tools in his hands and will be led to the slaughter by him like silly sheep that they are kearney feels his bis position he is not the man we were promised and we know it and the workingmen of boston know it and will come to think so
