	Denis Kearney Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Denis Kearney (1847-1907), Irish-born American labor agitator, became the leader of unemployed workingmen of San Francisco during the 1870s.
		Denis Kearney was born in County Cork on Feb. 1, 1847.
		Although he had no coherent ideology, Kearney seemed to attribute the distress of the working class to their shiftlessness; and on one occasion, at least, he stated that white workers should emulate the thrift and industry of the many Chinese on the West Coast.

		Kearney wanted desperately to lead, to play a role in the world, and he groped toward that goal with the ursine clumsiness of a sporadic autodidact, speaking over-loud in a thick b,rogue he never lost.
		Sensing this, Kearney allied himself with the Greenback Labor movement and was elected to the national executive committee in Chicago.
		A decade earlier, Kearney had entered public life comically, as a bumbling lyceum orator, and now he exited it in the same style, as the proprietor of a coffee and donut stand in a squatters' village, Mooneysville, at Ocean Beach.

	"Kearney Agitation in California," by Henry George - 1880
		For the genesis of Kearneyism, or rather for the shock that set in motion forces that social and political discontent had been generating, we must look to Pittsburgh and to the great railroad strikes of 1877.
		[Denis] Kearney, a man of strict temperance in all except speech, had built up a good business in draying for mercantile houses, and accumulated, besides his horses and drays, a comfortable little property.
		He was noticeable not merely for the bitter vulgarity of his attacks upon all forms of religion, especially that in which he had been reared, the Catholic, but for the venom with which he abused the working classes, and took on every occasion what passed for the capitalistic side.

		Kearney joined denunciations of corporate privilege with rabid rhetoric directed against the Chinese, who had been brought to the state in large numbers to build the railroads and remained as racially despised competition for low-paying jobs.
		Denis Kearney was a drayman who had risen to their leadership within a few months through his inflammatory speeches on the sandlots in front of city hall.
		Denis Kearney first delivered his Manifesto in September 1877, on the sandlots in front of city hall, a peculiarly appropriate space for agitation because public construction on a grand design was mired in bribe-taking and boodling.

	Blackhall Gaels take first round points at Skryne - SFC - 10th Apr 2003 - Blackhall Gaels 1-9 Simonstown Gaels 1-8
		Points for Blackhall from Tadhg Brosnan and Denis Beirne cancelled out by Hank Traynor and John Lunney left the half time score reading 1-4 to 0-6 in Simonstown's favour in a half when the sides were level on three occasions.
		Ned Kearney who replaced the injured Evan Kelly brought the sides level for the fourth time in the 41st minute followed by a brace of Blackhall points from Robert Cox and Denis Beirne.
		Kearney narrowed the gap to the minimum with his second point of the half after fifty minutes but an Owen Creevey point at the end of normal time placed that extra piece of daylight between the sides.

	AmericanHeritage.com / ‘The Chinese Must Go’
		Kearney touched on worker anxieties with his hints of a scheme by the rich to bring feudalism to the United States through the replacement of American workingmen with “coolies” who would neither expect nor receive a living wage or democratic rights.
		But the antibusiness strictures were gradually eviscerated by the courts and by lack of implementation, and the WPC faded away, though Kearney himself lived on until 1907.
		Kearney’s legislative influence was brief, but the evil that he did to the Chinese lived after him.

		Leader of the Workingmen's Party in California during the late 1870's, Denis Kearney called for the expulsion of Chinese immigrants, arguing that they took jobs away from Americans because they were willing to work for lower pay.

		Through several months he adamantly opposed Denis Kearney, the some-time Catholic Irish immigrant who had formed "The Workingman's Party" directed mainly against the Chinese.
		Kearney blamed the presence of the large numbers of Chinese for the plight and raised his cry against them: "The Chinese must go -- Denis Kearney says so!", was one of his many slogans.
		The pastoral, dated April 7, 1878, concluded: "We, therefore, admonish and even require everyone to stay away from such seditious, anti-social and anti-Christian meetings." The bishop's authority held, and soon, with diminishing numbers at his meetings, Kearney left the city and brought his cause to the east coast.
