Denis Kearney wears a prison uniform in this broadside titled, "The Tables Turned : You Sabe Him? Kealney Must Go!" It was published by San Francisco book producer Isadore Nathan Choynski, and dates from late 1877 or early 1878, when Kearney had been jailed for inciting a riot. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors had passed an emergency ordinance banning incendiary speech following some of Kearney's fiery speeches. [Virtual Museum of San Francisco] Measures 14" x 11."
