From THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993) [devils]:

  SANDLOTTER, n.  A vertebrate mammal holding the political views of
  Denis Kearney, a notorious demagogue of San Francisco, whose audiences
  gathered in the open spaces (sandlots) of the town.  True to the
  traditions of his species, this leader of the proletariat was finally
  bought off by his law-and-order enemies, living prosperously silent
  and dying impenitently rich.  But before his treason he imposed upon


  California a constitution that was a confection of sin in a diction of
  solecisms.  The similarity between the words "sandlotter" and
  "sansculotte" is problematically significant, but indubitably
  suggestive.
