San Francisco Political Corruption

The Grand Jury has been doing some wholesome work in San Francisco. The Mayor, Auditor, Sheriff, and ex-Registrar have felt its heavy hand upon them. "Holy Issac," as the Mayor is called, in one of his "preludes" to a Sunday evening discourse at the Metropolitan Temple in return indicted the Grand Jury. As described by a local paper, "It was a shameful display of hate, defiance, and threats. It was the yelping of the cur at merited punishment. It is probable and to be hoped that the people of San Francisco will learn political wisdom from past experience."
