THE ALLIANCE-INDEPENDENT. BOUND TO 1 PARTY. Treasurer Lyman of the Irish National League Issues An Address to the Irish Voters of America BOTH OLD PARTIES DENOUNCED. The Irish Voter Urged to Act Indepen dently, and No Longer Be the Plaything of the Old Parties Treasurer Lyman's Manifesto. New York, Oct. 23. The following has been issued by the treasurer of the Irish National league of America: To the Irish American population and especially to the Irish Nationalists Since the begining of the presidentia campaign we nave noucea, irom time to time, addresses from committees and associations of Irishmen or Irish- Americans and opinions of certain in aiviauais oi me lrisn race wnicn we think call for no uncertain protest from the Irish people of this country. Ar rayed on the side of either political party we nna these committees and associations and individuals whose sole aim seems to be to make either the re publican or the democratic party, as the case may be, believe that they have the power to move the Irish vote in tho desired direction according to their ideas and affiliations. "The Irish vote," cries one at repub lican headquarters, "is safe.t' There never was a larger rally of Irishmen beneath the republican standard." "Irishmen, since the time of Wol Tone," proclaims the time-server a democratic headquarters, "have been with the democrats and never so much as now." Both announce their absolute power to trot up the Irishmen to the polliog booths. It is time this sort of thing should como to an end. We hear very little from either the republicans or demo crats about Ireland or Irishmen except uuring these political campaigns, when the candidates usually profess undying love for Ireland and her cause and have their friends make up the ir old plati tudes intendid first, latt and all the time for political effect. Why, then, should men posing as Irishmen set themselves up as public auctioneers far the votes of th-ir countrymen. Why should the loves and aspirations of Irishmen for their unhappy country be forced into us 3 in a political game of battledore and shuttlecock in order that a few may have their own ambi tions gratified. What would the shades of O'Connell or Parnell and a host of other Irish patriots who served Ireland, not for self, say if they could oversee their p'ctures hanging around on the walls ot the rooms oi the anti-.Brmsh league in the Ashland house or at the demo cratic union on Broadway for p . lit.ical effect i r many a presidential election The Irish voters of thi-j country are too intelligent to be hoodwinked by ignoble devices and will cast their votes as Americans and not a; tho tools of designing mn. Tuesi party leaders, furthermore, are merely hoodwinking the political par ties. They have no more influence over the Irish votes in this country than have the E-squimaux recently brought for exhibition in Chicago. Irish nationalists, men who have love of your native Ireland at heart, resent tha insult to your country and Tour race poured upon you by the political tricksters on both sides who would make Americans believe that you are devoid of both intelligence and self- respect, a commodity to be bought and i sold. Wm. Lyman, mrt T-S-t- XT i 1 X 11 xreasuroi uisu a,iiuua.i ijcague oi ( America, on behalf of the Irish Nation alists, 951 East 122nd st-eet; Morton & Crounse Arguments (?). Kearney, Nebr., Oct. 17, 1892. J. Sterling Morton has a pet illustra tion which he uses in every speech he makes, to prove that hard money is the only safe money for the people; and I see that Crounse has adopted it. It is this: "Suppose there are three men stopping at the same house. One has one thousand dollars in gold, one one thousand dollars in silver, and the ether, one thousand dollars in paper. Now, if, while they are all asleep, the house should take fire and all of them should forget their money and allow it to burn, then," says -Morton, "the man with the silver and Vie man with the gold would go and get thtir metal money out of the ashf s, while the man who had the paper would 6hed great tears because his was lost." At the conclusion of this brain-racking and heart -rendiDg story, republicans and democrats burst into wild and ecstatic applause, while Moiton andCrounso stand and look wise, and seem to imag ine the bottom has ail fallen out of the paper money theory. To what extremes must parties be driven when men of the intelligence o Morton and Crounse descend to such wretched nonsense! If we are to draw on our imagination, suppose there are three men, each with one thousand dol lars of silver, gold and paper, respect ively. 1 hey ail go out to sea in a smal boat, and while out, all drop their pocket books in the sea. The silver and gold go to tbe bottom; the paper will noat, and, therefore, the man with the paper would wear a smile, while Morton's fellows would shed greal tears because they did not have paper The man who would use either of the above supposed cases to bolster up his theory is hard pushed for argument, for there is nothing, absolutely nothing in them Such argument remind me of a storv: A eirl was sittinsr in one of the old fashioned, houses in front of a great log fire," surrounded by her fath er's family. All at once she burst into a flood of tears, and would not be com forted. When her mother insisted on knowing the cause of her grief, she said: "I was just thinkiDg if I should get married and should have a baby, and it would fall in the fire and get burned up, I just know it would break my poor heart." This young lady must have been born under the same star as Morton & Crounse, as she reasoned in the same line as they. Respectfully, W. L. Greene. Greeley County in Line.
