THE AMERICAN.
IRISH REPUBLICANS.
The Same Sort of Tactics as
Resorted to In 1883.
They Get One Ho ad red Tavtisaad The

I would infer, from report in the
daily papers, that the eo-called "Irish
Republicans" are adapting the very
tactlca which they used so successfully
in 1888 and 1812 to draw cash from the
coffers of the Republican party man
agers, and afterwards If the party is
successful pick out some of the fattest
plums in the federal offices.
Let it be said just here that I have
no prejudice against the IrUh as Irish.
I have been a life-long Republican, and
hare numbered among my warmest
friends Irish Roman Catholics but
they have been Democrats. It is a fact
that will not be disputed, I think, that
the honest Irish are in the Democratic
party almost to a man. while the men
of Ill-repute the adventurers and scal
awags of that race, furnish the Repub
lican contingent from the Hibernian
people.
It will be remembered that In 18S3
the Irish Republican leaders were di
vided in their allegiance among proba
ble nominees, until it became a cer
tainty that Harrison would be elected.
Then they all flocked to the Republi
can camp. As a result, one of the crowd
was sent as minister to Chili; one was
made collector of Internal revenue in an
Important New York district; one was
made inspector of federal buildings,
and others received various other val
uable considerations for services prom
ised if not rendered.
The following is a specimen of the
dispatches which appeared in the daily
papers during the fall of 1838 this be
ing from the Boston Journal:
"A Saratoga special says that a
party of Irishmen, who are followers of
Patrick Ford, held a meeting at Con
gress Hall, Monday night, to discuss
President Cleveland's retaliation mes
sage. Their names, as given, are Gen
eral Michael Kerwin, General Dennis
F. Barke, D. C. Feely of Rochester, M.
D. Gallagher and J. Graham of New
York. They decided to call a meeting
of Irish representatives from all over
the country. It Is also stated that re
cently Patrick Ford made a demand on
the Republican campaign committee
for $100,000 and full power to start and
control a national Irish organization
for Harrison and Morton, and that
Chairman Quay was in favor of conced
ing the demand but was overruled."
Some time after the campaign there
was a lawsuit between twoof these men
over the ownership of an Irish paper in
New York, and the fact ras actually
sworn to on the witness stand that
$100,000 had been paid to the Irish
leaders for their Influence in the Re
publican campaign.
The San Francisco Argonaut one of
the ablest literary journals in this
country made this editorial comment
la September, 1888:
"Senator Quay of Pennsylvania,
chairman of the Republican National
Committee, of which Mr. De Young is
a member, has given Patrick Ford of
the Irisli World, $4,000 to aid in the
election of Harrison and Morton. Mr.
Pat Ford is expected to use this money
to influence the votes of Irishmen, as
did the same journal (for coin) four
years ago, in the interest of Blaine.
"This journal Is waging the war of
the Irish rebellion against England
upon American soil. Its editor is
charged with confederating with Irish
criminals; its office is charged with
being the rendezvous of escape con
spirators; there, it Is charged by the
London Times, the murderers of Lord
Cavendish and his secretary found
refuge and welcome. The Irish World
Is a den of Intriguing and criminal con
epirators against a country with whom
the United States government is at
peace.
"It is a dishonorable and disgraceful
fact that the National Republican
party should aid with money for politi
cal use such a criminal as Patrick Ford,

and such a journal af the Irish World.
It is not creditable to Senator Q day,
nor to the national committee, nor to
General Harrison, la whose Interest
the shameful and Indecent act Is per
formed, nor to the wealthy Mr. Mor
ton, who presumably furnished the
cam for this nasty use.
"This act demonstrates the political
alliance between the Republican party
and the class of Irish who work with
' the torch, the danger and dynamite"
a jalnst a people from whom we sprang,
a id a nation with which our govern
ment Is in friendly alliance. The Re
publican party Is detected buying the
sipport of Irish criminal voters. It
was done four years ago for Mr. Blaine.
It disgusted us then, and we do not ap
prove it now. We never wanted this
c'ass of Irishmen to bo members of the
Republican party, and when It comes
to buying them, we respectfully pro
test. Join toe American party and
thus become a 'traitor.' Our treason
consists in refusing to turn the Ameri
can ballot-box over the Irish crimi
nals."
In the present campaign, Kerwin is
working for Morton; Kearns for Mc-
Klnley, and the others are apparently
"lying low" waiting for the verdict,
Political experts say that In this
whole country there are less than 100,
000 Irish Republican votes, and that
"the gang" cannot Influence 10,000 of
these. Yet they have the faculty of
making the political leaders believe
that they are an Important factor so
much so that in 1888 all American poli
ticians of prominence sent telegrams
of congratulation to Pat Ford, thank
ing him for helping to elect Harrison.
Here are a few of the telegrams, which
I tike from my scrapbook:
ACGCSTA, Me., Nov. 19, 1888,
Patrick Ford It is fitting that the
Irish Americans should hold a jubilee
over the victory won for protection to
labor, for by their steadfast devotion
to this great cause victory was made
possible. They stand for protection in
their adopted country, and they will
receive the sympathy of all true
Americans in the struggle for home
rule in the land of their birth.
Joseph H. Manley.
Herkimer, N. Y., Nov. 19, 1888.
Patrick Ford The American people
owe yourself ani asssciates a debt of
gratitude for the effective work you
did In bringing so many Irish Ameri
cans to the support of the Republican
policy of protection to American in'
dustries.
You have a right to celebrate the
great victory. I wish I could be with
you. Warner Miller.
Worcester, Mass., Nov. 18, 1888.
Patrick Pord Heartiest congratu
latlons to the noble Irish-American
Protectlonsts. GEORGE F. HOAR.
The above are only a few of the
many telegrams sent to an Irish meet
ing in New York including one from
President Harrison to the disgust of
the great mass of American voters of
the party.
About that time this report appeared
in the Boston Herald:
"I will call your attention to one
thing, however," said Captain Delaney
(head of the Irish Republicans), "and
that Is this: That while the Irish
Americans tre very generally regarded
as hopelessly bound to their old Demo
cratlc taskmasters, the fact remains
that, with the exception of two men-
General P. A. Collins and John Boyle
O'Reilly, of Boston all representative
Irishmen of America who are promi
nent in the councils of the National
League and in the Clan-na-Gael and In
the Ancient Order of Hibernians, are
supporters of Harrison and Morton.
"This may seem a very broad state'
ment, but I need only remind you that
among the active workers for the Re'
publican ticket are Alexander Sulli
van of Chicago, ex-president of the
National League of America; Patrick
Egan of Lincoln, Neb.; John Fitzger
ald of Lincoln, Neb.; A. R. Morrison cf
Chicago, one of the recognized leaders
of the Irish movement in America;
General Michael A. Kerwin of New
York, the famous Irish hero of Bull
Run, and the editor of that standard
Irish weekly newspaper, which has a
general circulation throughout the
United States, known as the Neto York
Tablet; Joha Gallagher, for many years
state delegate of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians of Pennsylvania, and at
the head of the Clan-na-Gael In Pitts
burg; John Finerty of Chicago, editor
of the Citizen, the recognized Irish
newspaper of that locality, and elected
by Irishmen as an independent member
of congress from the Third district of
Illinois; and a number of other Irish
gentlemen of the same standard."
An interesting story appeared in the
New York Herald July 22, in reference
to the "pull" of the Irish Republican
movement. From this Btory we make
the following extract:
"The executive Is now evenly divided
on the question of the charges against
the old 'Triangle,' Minister Patrick
Egan having resigned and his place on
the executive not having been filled
yet. Among those present were Cap
tain Edward O'Meagher Condon, who
had been sentenced to death for his
share in the Manchester rescue of 1867.
A rumor had been going around that
Condon has been dismissed from Pat
Ford's paper because he had gone to
Chicago to help Dillon to run down
the murdereia of Dr. Cronln. Mr.
Condon would not talk about this yes
terday, but one of his Chicago friends,
whom I saw after the meeting, told me
a startling story which brines the ad
ministration of President Harrison Into
close connection with that notorious
'Triangle.'
" Captain Condon,' said my Inform
ant, 'was slated for the consul-guar-dlanshlp
to Rome, but be did not get
It. Had he obeyed Patrick Ford In
stead of the dictates of his own con
science, he would have received the
appointment.'
" 'You may well ask what Ford has to
do with federal patronage, but every
Irish Republican In America knows.
Here are the plain facts: After a long
and bitter wrangle between the Irish
Republican factions, the Ilarrleon ad
ministration decided that all Irish
appointments should be made through
Patrick Ford. This was done through
the Influence of Mr. lilalne, who in
this instance was strongly backed by
Senator Quay with all the authority of
the chairman of the Republican na
tional committee. The meaning of
this, and Mr. Blalnu probably knows
it well enough, that the 'Triangle'
were recognized as the leaders of the
Irish Republicans.'
" 'How can that be?' I asked. 'It
looks absurd.'
" 'How can It be!' echoed the Chi
cago man. 'Don't you know that Pat
rick Ford, although not a member of
the Clan-na Gael, is the public spokes
man and apologist for the Sullivan
Egan faction? All Irishmen seeking
office from President Harrison must
have the endorsement of Ford, other
wise they simply waste their time. As
an instance, Patrick Egan could not
have been appointed minister to Chill
without the endorsement of Ford and
that of their mutual friend, Alexander
Sullivan, of New York city.
" 'Do you want more examples?
Well, ex-Congressman John F. Finerty,
who sought the collectorshlp of inter
nal revenue in Chicago, had to come to
New York to get Mr. Ford's support,
and went to Washington after securing
it in company with Patrick Egan.
That is the reason Finerty's paper
made very light of the murder of Dr.
Cronln. Do you remember the recent
lively newspaper tilt between "Tom"
Desmond, ex-sheriff of San Francisco,
and John Dovoy? Among other things
Devoy asked him to explain what he
was doing in New York in April under
an assumed name. Well, Desmond
wanted to ba United States marshal of
northern California, and had to come
all the way to New York to see the
dispenser of federal patronage to Irish
men. " 'Now, Condon had been booked
for the consul-generalship to Rome,
and all the Irish Republicans also un
derstood that there was another candi
date among them. Patrick Ford sup
ported him for personal reasons. Cap
tain Condon was employed on his
paper. Ford runs a Catholic paper as
well as an Irish one, and so it would be
an excellent thing for him if he got
one of his staff such an Important posi
tion In Rome.' "
This is only a brief story of the origin
of the Irish Republican movement. As
I have said, the leaders are not the
better class of Irishmen; and for that
reason their record being known
their connection with the Republican
party will be scrutinized with sus
picion. Especially will that b6 true
this year, when two or three
million members of the patriotic
orders will scrutinize every act of the
leaders. They remember that in 1894
R. C. Kerens who is now working in
the interest of McKinley, offered the
following resolution in the Missouri
Republican convention, aimed at the
A. P. A.
The same paper told this story of the
"conversion" of Alexander Sullivan to
the Republican party. Sullivan was a
Democrat, and wanted a cabinet posi
tion to pay for his "pull."
"The proposition was to this effect:
That if the Democratic convention
would nominate Alexander Sullivan as
candidate for the vice-presidency of
the United States, the Irish would
forego their opposition to Cleveland,
and this would be a guarantee that the
Cleveland administration would not
be pro-English or anti-Irish. Judge
Prendergast now says that he made
that proposition at the direct request of
Alexander Sullivan, and that it ema
nated from Sullivan, and not from John
Kelly."
Sullivan was snubbed, and the next
day the Herald said: "Without in
forming members of the Irish commit
tee, Sullivan and General Kerwin, ed
itor of the Tablet, quietly slipped off to
Deer Park and had a conference with
J. G. Blaine, Stephen Elklnsand other
Republican leaders. Here, it is freely
asserted by Sullivan's opponents, the
strength and membership of the Clan-na-Gael
were reported to the Republi
can leaders, although more than half
of the members were strong Democrats,
and a demand was made that Sullivan
should oe given a cabinet position and
a large share of federal patronage.
"The place promised him was secre
tary of the Interior, and it was Mr.
Elkins who made the promise.
"The New York antl-CleveUnd Irish
men were carrying on their work all
the time Irrespective of Sullivan, but
he kept writing to the leaders, begging
them not to declare themselves until
an agreement with the Republican
candidate could be arrived at.
"By securing the delay, Sullivan ob
tained from Stephen Elkins $5,000 to
hold a public meeting In the Academy
of Music, and he placed that sum In
the hands of bit friend, Kerwin. lie
then met the committee of the New
York Blaine organisation and Informed
them that the Academy had been
hire., and that the niooey to pay the
expenses (not mentioning the amount)
had been subscribed by half a dozen
Irish citizens having no connection
with politics, and that they gave it on
the express condition that no one
should speak at that meeting but Alex
ander Sullivan. This raised a storm
which was well-nigh wrecking the anti
Cleveland movement, and nothing but
the fanaticism of their hatred to Cleve
land prevented them from breaking up
the metlng."
"7iV .soml, That the Republican party
of Missouri, speaking for Its time-honored
principles, lu Individuality, lis
tolerance, Its gerlus, and the institu
tion of the American people, as laid
down by the fraaiers of tnecocstitu
tion, declare: That we deplore and
condemn any secret organization that
has for Its purpose the inauguration of
religious bitterness in the political af
fairs of our country.
"Kesolrtd, That the Republican party
emphatically protests against the Im
portation of such foreign doctrines In
our midst, and against any such oath
bound organization, under whatever
name, whose secret professions are hos
tile to the religious beliefs of any re
ligious denomination or church orga
nization; and we declare that no such
secret organization shall have the
countenance of the Republican party.
Be it further
"Itcxoleed, That the Republican party
of Missouri repudiates the participation
or affiliation of religion with the poli
tics of this country. The constitution
of the United Slates, the supreme law
of our country, under which we have
become the greatest nation In the
world, forbids the Interference with
any man In his worship of Almighty
God according to the dictates of his
conscience."
The resolutions were defeated, but
the patriotic orders remember them.

WANT LINTON FOB PRESIDENT.
Members of the A. 1'. A. Start a Boom
fur the Michigan Man.
St. Louis.Mo., April 7. The Amer
ican Protective Association has sprung
a decided surprise in political circles
by taking up William S. Linton of
Michigan as its choice for president,
and arranging for a vigorous campaign.
This la all the more surprising because
it was understood that the order would
have no particular choice for president
and that its votes would be divided as
between McKinley, Reed, Allison,
Morton and Harrison. The launching
of Linton's boom was determined upon
at a recent meeting of the national ad
visory board of the American Protec
tive Association. The association has
established headquarters in St. Louis
at 613 Pine street, from whence Linton
literature will be sent broadcast
throughout the country. Judge J. H.
D. Stevens, chairman of the national
advisory board, has personal charge of
the headquarters. Mr. Linton is ex
pec ted here soon, when his boom will
be formally launched at a demonstra
tion to be held at the Exposition build
ing. Linton buttons have sprung up In
all parts of the city. Tae button con
tains a photograph of the Michigan
congressman, with this Inscription:

THE A. P. A.
Supreme President A. P. A. Tray
nor, has just issued an excellent ad
dress. The State Council A. P. A., of In
diana, meets in Muncle this week.
The session promises to be interesting
and instructive.
The annual convention of the State
Council A. P. A. of Maine was held In
Portland, April 1st. There was a
large number of delegates present
from various parts of the state. The
election of new stats officers was
among the business transacted.
The supreme advisory board of the
A. P. A., met In New Y'ork, April 1st,
and received the reports of the inves
tigating committee which has been ex
amining the record and character of
the various candidates for the presi
dential honors. This report will now be
submitted to the several state advisory
boards, and await their recommenda
tion before further action will be taken.
W. J. II. Tray nor, supreme presi
dent of the American Protective Asso
ciation, has Issued a circular to the
order at large upon the political situa
tion. President Traynor declares that
the A. P. A. has a cinch upon the
presidential situation, and presents an
exhaustive plan for the complete po
litical organization of the order, from
the primaries up. He urges the vari
ous state councils to send their repre
sentatives to the supreme council,
which meets next month at Washing
ton, pledged to such reforms as the
subordinate members of the order most
desire, thus avoiding the danger of
strong partisans using the order for
their 'own ends. lie makes a strong
protest against the Marquette statute,
and especially warns the order to op
pose the resolution of Congressman
Morse, of Massachusetts, "acknowledg
ing Almighty Gol at the source of all
power and authority la civil govern
ment, our Lord Jesus Christ as the
ruler of nations and hit Zrevaaled will
at the supreme authority In civil af
fairs" at a remarkable and dangerous
proposal to place the affairs of stale In
the ban Is of the church. The writer
concludes with the declaration that
the Venezuelan war scare was a mis
leading campaign dodge, and that the
Cuban and Armenian agitations, while
advocated by those who are tinoere,
are mere subterfuges to kill time until
after the presidential election and dis
tract the attention of the people from
wo posed and much-needed national
measures of reform.
THE POLITICAL LANCE.
Why did the school board displace
an A. P. A. against whom no charges
of incompetency existed but on the
other hand, whose work was perfectly
satisfactory to make room for one who
was not?
Men who are mombert of the A. P.
A. for purely political prestige, in
order to obtain positions themselves,
are not fit to be called Americans.
The disgraceful actions on the part
of Mayor Johnston of South Omaha on
election day just after the polls closed
cannot failed to bo coudemned by all
decent citizens.
Paul McAuley was defeated for po
lice judge of South Omaha by dishon
orable means, and he ought to fight his
contest to the bitter end. Is there not
a law prohibiting electioneering In the
pooling booths at any election In the
state of Nebraska? We believe the
penalty is a term in the penitentiary.
t
What right has the mayor or any
other official to enter a polling booth
and attempt to dictate for whom citi
zens should vote? It Is alleged that
this was done In the Fourth ward of
South Omaha last Tuesday by Mayor
Johnston, and this will be set forth as
grounds for a contest of the election In
that ward.
The part that Secretary Glllan is al
leged to have taken since his election
as delegate to the state convention In
the interest of Matt Daugherty ought
not to increase his chances for re-election.
A man who, when elected to public
office, forgets the men who assisted
him and centers his whole effort In
placating those opposed to him, will
find that his former friends will not
forget him in the future. Even his
"new-made friends" will become dis
trustful. It takes a more level headed
man than Omaha or Douglas county
now possesses to carry water on both
shoulders without slopping.
The members of the school board
should ba consistent in making their
appointments. If they would discuss
matters In a mote quiet and dispasslon
ate way there would be less cause for
"jangle."
Would it not be well for the people
to have a chance to say who shall be
secretary of the board of education?
The state Republican convention
meets in Omaha next Tuesday to select
four delegates-at-large to the national
convention at St. Louis.
ITALIANS DETERMINED TO LAND,
Men Held for Deportation Create Two
Riots on Ellis Island.
New YORK, March 31. It was one
continuous round of excitement on Ellis
Island to-day. Twice a large body of
Italians, held for deportation, made
desperate attempts to escape from
their place of Imprisonment, and, but
for the courage and alertness of the few
keepers and inspectors who had them
in charge, riot and bloodshed might
have resulted. It was shortly after 10
o'clock when the first outbreak oc
curred. There' were 250 savage-looking
customers, mostly Italians, shut in
side the "to-be-deported" pen on the
second floor of the main building.
Suddenly there was a murmur among
them. It increased to a growl and to a
howl of defiance and rage. Hundreds
of sunburnt, dirty hands tried to tear
open the wire-work of the pen. It
began to bend and, in a moment more,
would have given way, had not the
keepers rushed up and down outside,
pounding the protruding fingers.
Dr. Senner early in the day realized
the gravity of the situation. He tele
graphed to Washington that he must
have more help. The reply was favor
able, and twenty more men will be at
work to-morrow. It is also said on
good authority that the commissioner
requested General Miles to hold a
small detachment of troops in readi
ness. Just when all seemed peace, the Ari
zona, the steamer which takes the im
migrants from Ellis Island to the Bat
tery, steamed in. As the released im
migrants ran to boaru her, some of
them shouted to the throng of "de
tained." In a moment all was excite
ment again. A fierce ruth was made.
Savage blowt were struck at the offi
cial, and more than one knife was
drawn In the crowd. The officials,
went at the undisciplined mob fiercely,
and, after a few minutes' fighting, the
little knot of breathless officers bad the
crowd subdued.
