The democratic papers that have
claimed Hamilton Fish for Cleveland
ought now to correct the "mistake."
"Maine was republican anyhow,
and it don't make any difference,
practically, how great the majority
given." Democratic papers.
Higgins is not complimentary to
some of Nebraska's great men when
he eaye, "Since the days of David
Butler, our governors might just as
well havo been bo many basawood
logs."
"We have very Jitllo faith in politi
cians who "do not lovo their country,
and who fail to ecc the hand of the
opprcesor in measures calculated to
crinnlo and destroy the business of
their fellow citizens.
It is announced in the eastern
papers that it is probable that Blaine
and Cleveland will come west. It
will givo the citizens on the routes
they may travel an opportunity of
peeing both candidates.
Higgins, in the last Democrat says,
"It is true that many good, sincere
and patriotic Irishmen aro advocating
tho Plumed Knight." And in anoth
er place, "It is cafe to say, as a genor
al proposition, that the truo and gen
uine Irish-American friends of Ire
land arc to-day found In tho demo
cratic ranks."
uThc principle of the jntblic regula
tion of railway corporations is a wise
and salutary oneor the jirolcclio)i of
all classes of tcoplc, and we favor
legislation thai shall prevent unjust
discrimination and excessive charges
for transportation, and that shall
secure to the jtcoplc and to the rail
ways alike the fair and equal jwolcc-
tion of the lair." I'cpublican Plat
form. It is claimed that the democrats
will have in a few days a subject that
will demand more of their attention
than the Mulligan letters. They will
bo confronted with Grovcr. Cleve
land's frco trade record. His denial
of his having tried to influence mem
bers of congress to vote for the Mor
rison bill will not stand. It can be
shown that ho wrote to speaker Car
lisle, V. K. Morrison, and Mr. Dors
hcimcr expressing opinions favorable
to the bill.
"TintEE cheers for" Higgins, "ho
was witty last week ; but hold on,
come to think of it," we cannot cheer
very lustily, for tho wit consisted
merely in writing a man's name with
small letters, thus, "patrick ford," and
a man is not entitled to much praise
for "wit" so close fetched. The tal
ented and influential editor of the
fruit World has quite a number of
admirers even in this county, and
will probably survive the ordeal of
having his name- spelled with small
letters.
Fisheu and Mulligan letters were
given tho public with a view to pre
judice the people against Mr. Blaine.
Mr. Blaine has been interviewed re
lative to those lotters and says that
his desire was that every voter in tho
United States might read the letters
for himself and not form his judg
ment from editorial misrepresenta
tions in partisan journals. There
was not a word in the letters, Mr.
Blaine added, which was not entirely
consistent with the most scrupulous
integrity and honor. He hoped every
republican paper in the United States
would publish the letters in full.
The Irish World, ono of the lead
ing papers heietofore supporting tho
Democratic party, is against Cleve
land this campaign, and is doing a
good deal to make the situation plain
to all its readers. A recent number
represents Cleveland sitting at his
governor's desk writing a veto. A
friend named English Freo Trade
stands a little in the back-ground and
gloats over the situation of aflaira; a
workingman with a petition in his
hand stands at the door, while the
governor's obsequious lackey says to
him: "The Governor is now busily
engaged writing his veto of your
last petition, and he cannot sec you.
Call around early in November and
he will bo happy to receive your
favor." The workingman evidently
thinks that the oflicia! who will not
xead hie petition will not get his vote.
"When the would-be friends of Ire
land adopt the arguments of her bit
terest enemies, there must be some
thing wrong. For twenty years tho
arch enemies of Irish freedom have
been hounding her patriots and nob
lest sons with just such charges as the
Democrat now throws at all Irishmen
who have hoisted the banner for
Blaine and Logan, viz: that they have
been living in palaces and feeding on
money fleeced from their dupes, but
in spite of all thiB abuse they have
worked on, and to-day have good
sense enough to see that Cleveland
and his backers, in no act or deed of
their lives have shown themselves to
bo either the friends of the laboring
man or of Ireland ; they can easily see
that such American political. mounte
banks and British flunkies as Curtis,
Beecher and Hewett of O'Donnel
fame and others are for Cleveland and
seeing no good for them or their
country in such company, they are
flocking to another camp where they
are sure of getting better treatment.
TheBC are the sentiments now moving
such men as Alex. Sullivan, John
Dcvoy, John Bush, Patrick Egan,
Senator Grady, John Finnerty, our
townsman Dan. Condon and thous
ands of others. Are these the men
who havo grown fat on money fleeced
from servant girls, or aro they tho
men who seeing the right dare pur
sue it?
Political.
Preparations are being made in
Now York for at least two meetings
to be held in the city soon of the
Irish-Americans in the interest of
Mr. Blaine. One of the meetings is
to be addressed by Sullivan, the late
president of the land league, who
resigned his position so as to bo more
free to work for tho election of tho
republican ticket. Tho other meeting
will bo addressed by Congressman
Finerty, of Chicago. Tho condition
of affairs in the city and state is con
sidered good for the republicans.
Hamilton Fish has come out in a
formal card saying that he intends to
vote for Mr. Blaine. This is a great
blow to the democrats, who havo
been making a good deal out of Fish's
alleged desertion the past week.
Emory Storrf, who is here, con
tinues to rasp up tho Independents.
Ho said last night: "I could gather
together in some humble parlor all
tho Independents of tho United
States. I do not believe I would find
one in that modest gang who would
not object to my reading tho Ton
Commandmontfl upon the ground that
6tich reading would have a tendency
to raise a scandtil ihsue and cast
personal reflections upon the dem
ocratic candidate."
Wk recommend to our Irish
American fellow citizons the careful
reading of an address issued by
Bicbard O'S. Burke, chairman,
Charles Hanley, Goo. M. O'Uricn,
W. II. Mulcahy, P. F. Murphy, Wm.
White, John Groves, Dan' O'Kcofc,
Patrick McArdlc, Michael Cody, Ex
ecutive Committee, from Headquar
ters Irish-American Blaine and
Logan club, Omaha, Sept. 12th, '81,
and which address was submitted to
the club by the executive committco,
adopted and ordered to be published.
Uichard O'S. Burke, President, John
B. Fury, Treasurer, John Quinu, Sec
retary. It gives tho chief reasons
which have influenced them to sup
port the candidates, and sustain and
promoto tho principles of the repub
lican party. If our space would
permit wo would gladly publish tho
cntiro address which would occupy
seven or eight columns of the Jour
nal. Doubtless by application to the
above executive committee at Omaha
any reasonable number of the ad
dresses cpn be obtained. It is in our
estimation a valuable address and
should be in the hands ot many voters
to enablo them to correct many one
sided partisan statements, which
often mislead voters.
A Goofl Tariff Story.
A good tariff story is told on B.
Stern, a Milwaukee miller, who re
cently paid a visit to his native prov
ince and Groat Britain. While on the
other side he made it a business to
visit all the flouring mills within his
reach, and thus learned a good deal
about the milling methods, wages
paid employes, etc. He came home a
short timo ago, and the first day he
visited his own mill he went to each
one of tho mill bauds, from the head
millor down, and told them that he
had been looking into the foreign
milling business thoroughly and had
come to tho conclusion that the only
way that American millers could com
pete with European millers was by
manufacturing at a less cost than now,
in other words by paying their help
less. "Now," he added, "wo can
never get these wages any lower until
we havo free trade, and I waut you
all to vote for Cleveland and free
trade, lheu wo will have a steady
market for our flour. Do you sec?"
They saw, but not as their employer
did, and now there arc several mill
employes who aro "whooping it up"
for Blaino aud protection.
A hill of discovery has been filed
by Sluumaker's attorneys in the
Maine-Sentinel libel suit. This bill
when properly understood mcaus
that the defciidcnt has a good defense
on his plea of justification, but is not
in possession of tho facts, and unless
by some just aud equitable ruling of
tho court he can compel Mr. Blaine to
furuish him all the facts, tho fatal
calamity will happen tho case that
further proceedings will bo per
petually stayed aud restrained. The
bill was not filed uutil a late hour,
and court adjourned without taking
action. Since writing the above, tho
dailies bring Mr. IMaino's answers to
the several questions, being virtually
tho same facts as set forth in the
Phelps letter which we publish.
Ex-President Garfield's two
sous Henry and James, are seniors at
William College, and bright boys, too.
The Electrical Display.
The exhibit at Philadelphia has
opened. 228,000 square feet of space
are set apart for the buildings. There
are twenty-one exhibitors of electric
lights and methods of generating
light by electricity, and 4500 lamps,
which, when lit, produce a wonder
ful effect, being so arranged that no
shadow is to be seen. A correspond
ent says that a flood of white light
rivaling day in purity and brilliancy
falls over everything.
The Edison Company have a splen
did display of the wori of the great
inventor. An electric railway is to
be one of the must interesting features
of the exhibit. Several sewing ma
chines, looms, a ruling machine and a
printing press are run by electricity.
The display of telephones includes the
original instrument used by Bell, and
others showing his progress towards
perfection. An electric organ pours
forth muBic, electric clocks tick, and a
brood of chickens hatched by an elec
tric incubator "peek" to the delight of
visitors.

braska annual M. E. conference met

Citizenship of the republic must
bo the panoply and safeguard of him
who wears it. Tho American citizen,
rich or poor, nativo or naturalized,
white or colored, must cverywhero
walk secure in his personal and civil
rights. Tho republic should never
accept a lesser duty, it can never as
sume a nobler one, than the protection
of tho hnmblcst man who owes it loy
alty protection at home, and protec
tion which shall follow him abroad,
into whatever land he may go upon a
lawful errand. James G. Blaine.
A terrible murder was reported

plied a burning lamp to her feet, en
deavoring to extort more money, but
tho young woman persisted she had
given it all up. Tho villains then left
the promises.
The Young Men's Republican Club
of Plattsmouth sends Dr. Miller of

pants up: Tho next timo the Dr.
spcakB to a fastidious Plattsmouth
audience, he should wear a longer
vest.
Foreigners in this state to entitle
them to vote should take out their
declaration papers thirty days beforo

tho time for doing this will expire on
the 5th of October. Those who lovo
their country will not fail to cast
their votes, and at once attend to
securing the necessary papers.
Senator Van Wyck delivered the
other afternoon a spicy address at the
Salino county fair. He didn't dwell

lieves Gov. Dawes of school-land
frauds.

About the only "reason" :ho Blaine
Irishmen givo for their apostacy to
the democratic party is that Harper's
Weekly, George William Curtis aud a
few other old enemies have come over
to the democrats. We read a short
time ago that several prominent Eng
lishmen had joined tho Catholic
church. It is in order now for these
Celtic Blaineites to discard their old
religion. Why adhere to a church
that will admit an old enemy into its
fold. Democrat Sept. Villi.
That the above is the only reason
givou by "the Blaine Irishmen for
their apostacy to the Democratic
party," or "about the only rcaHon," is
a pure libel and comes either from the
waut of better material, or tho want of
soiiee enough to use it. The reasons
have been given, many of them, and
plain enough;, but this disciple of
darkness refuscs'to understand them.
. What is tho width of a man's head,
anyway, who thinks that a refusal to
vote for a candidate, whose nomina
tion is a blot on bis party, is apostacy
to that party? Is a refusal to follow
any Hue, laid down by a man's party,
apostacy, or is it the intelligent exer
cise of tho right of free American
citizcuship? That is just what is the
matter with the Democratic party and
tho Irish vole; they havo whipped it
in for 60 many years that they have
forgotten that perhaps an Irishman
might have an idea of his own. The
absolute control of tho Irish vote by
the Democratic leaders and small fry
plotters, although a little smoother, is
not much better thau the Anglo-Saxon
control of our Celtic brethren in
Ireland.
Tho present break of the Irish voto
towards indepen tent voting, based
upon their own convictions, is one of
the best signs of tho times for the
future of Irishmen in America, let the
present motivo or the result of this
election bo what it may.
And several "prominent English
men" have j oined the Catholic church !
Well, well ! We had heard of several
"prominent Englishmen" being in tho
Catholic church a long timo ago ; but,
Mr. Democrat, stop throwing dust
aud yet down to business. There is a
groat diilerenco between discarding
one's religion and discarding an un
worthy apostle of that religion. It
must be your patent discovery that
it is apostacy to a church to cry down
a priest ot (hut church, if lie h-ipponcil
to be a fraud. We are Blaineites bo
causo we believe that Clcvelind has
neither the seutinicnt, character, cour
ago nor ability to reprosent the truo
Democracy of this great nation.
Anothor libel is that tho Republican
party is the old Know Nothing party,
when the fact is that thero was never
an electoral voto ca3t for a Know
Nothing candidate for president in a
northern state all wero from tho
southern or slave states, the portion
of "thiB country that was solid for
human slavery and solid for Bourbon
democracy.
Tho Democrat would much obligo
tho writer by showing wherein tho
democratic party has earned tho re
gard of Irishmen, or why it is that
party of the dark ages claims to bo
tho special friend of tho Irishman.
