TOR." i A No Very Flatterlns Portrait Drawn - by a Fellow' Labor Reformer. ; The Herald of Saturday publishes an interview with Mr. R. L. Knight, the secretary of the Kearney organization-for California, in which an ac-! count of tho so-called "great agifc.iv tor" appears. Kearney, his associates in San Francisco say, really ruined the "Kearney movement" out there. He gathered about him only the rude and ignorant; he repelled, decent and intellectual people. "The more cul tivated demanded that Kearney should take a back seat," says his as sociate,' Mr.' Knight. "But he put ignorance, barbarism and mob rule on top, and the intelligent and self-respecting fled away from him, and de cent, law-abiding people looked on with horror. Meantime, Kearney sought only to be the god of the sand never intended violence, they only desired by the ballot-box to get rid of the Chinese, land and other mo- nopolies. by legislation. Knight says Kearney has gone East with the repu- tation of being the lion of the Work- infvmarrfl nartv in Trnain TT ;a ingmarrs party in California. He is rather the donket than the lion.. His shallow bombast about purity and honesty is the merest sham. He is as base a counterfeit as aW nailed to a counter.
