Notwithstanding an effort waB made on the pert of democrats to capture or break up the. great Irish-American meeting held in New York City the other night in the interest of Blaine and Logan, it proved a grand success in every particular. The Academy of Music where the meeting was held was filled by the audience, composed' in the main of citizens of Irish birth or parentage, and uuited in a happy manner, enthusiasm and careful at tention. The interior of the Acade my was generously decorated with American and Irish flags, and tri colorcd streamers were strung from the ceiling to the galleries. The eye was refreshed by numerous plants on the platform. A large number of distinguished persons were seated on the stage. Among others were Dr. W. B. Wallace, late president of the Irish National League, of Now York, Tatrick Ford of the Irish World, and Jno. Devoy of the Irish Nation. M. D. Gallagher was chairman and E. J. O'Shaughuessy secretary. The secretary read the principal names of nearly 1,000 prominent Irishmen in the different states who have declared against Cleveland's candidacy. The chairman presented Alexander Sullivan, of Chicago, tho principal speaker of the evening, who when he came on the stago was applauded and cheered to the echo, and for two hours he treated hit; audience to a speech rich with argument, satire and invec tive. He turned every interruption to good account. He delighted the crowd when a storm of hisses arose at his query : "Arc we turn-coats from British tree trade?" he excited laugh ter and applause by saying, "Don't hiss. That'rt :i bad habit imported from the vulgar pits of English thea tres." A hearty rcsponso was given to his declaration that the democratic party made liberty in this country possible only as Judas Iscariot made nalvation possible. gorresjjonbencf.

Ah an Irif-lunun of the first water I would ak him why Blaine's voters should look blue? Is it bc causo they will have the moral cour age to battle for tho rights and free dom of their country which their forefathers guaranteed to them by selling their precious blood at a dear rato to consummate the purchase? For myself, I hope to feel remarkably well the latter part of November, as I, with all other sound Irishmen, will have the proud satisfaction of knowing that we havo in a great measure been instrumental in placing James G. Blaine in the chief magistrate's chair, the man amongst men. who will adorn the White House and shiue as a bea con light to this free nation the rays of which will penetrate the most lor eign British dungeon, where the least of his subjects may lie in durance vile.

When her dis appearance was noted her family were alarmed, and Charley Sharp, who lives near, came to town and gathered a crowd of about twenty men, on horseback, who carrying lan terns, scoured the hills until morning without finding her. At daybreak they were joined by a largo number from Neligh, who continued tho search, and about six o'clock they found her about half way between her house and L. B. Warner'i resi dence, sitting in the tall grass. She had 6ecn the lights during the night, but she supposed they were lifhtning bugs. None of the parly came near enough to her for her to hear their voices, or to dflttngnish them or their horses. She was afraid of wolves, and stayed during the night in the most secluded spot she could find.

The reception of Mr. Blaine in New York and the popular demonstrations which greeted him en route from New York to Philadelphia have never been surpassed in extent or enthusiasm in the political history of this country. At every station tho people have turned out en ma6se, even late in the night, and thousands upon thousands :nlth(ir mftrchinp- clubs have" Daraded in his honor. The route from New York to Philadelphia was literally ablaze with fireworks, illuminations, .ii inrrhpp ftnrl at every Dlace through which the train passed the shouts of welcome were mingiea wnu the etrainB of music and booming of cannon. The three States New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania turn ed out to do him honor, and the ex traordinary enthusiasm of the people is significant of the similar enthusi asm with which they will lally to the polls in November. All classes view with each other in expressions of ad miration and esteem, and in every place the crowds were conspicuous for the immense number of working men who turned out to see the mau who represents their interests. These immense demonstrations are due not more to the position which Mr. Blaine holds as the head ot the Republican ticket than to the personal esteem, in which he i6 individually held and to the love which is felt for him as an American who holds his country and its citizens above all others. They recognize him as a typical American, with the distinctive American traits of brilliaucy, dash, enterprise, self-assertion, aud bound less resource. These qualities, added to his personal attractiveness and his good-fellowship aud comradeship among men, arouse a personal enthu siasm for him which comes out in peculiarly strong light when com pared with tho personal toeling of Democrats towards Cleveland. It iB speaking within bounds to say that there is not a single. Democrat, even among tho?c who aro workiug the hardest, who have auv personal admi ration for their candidato or any per sonal enthusiasm for him, simply be cause he has none of tho traits which arouse these feelings, being a dull, cold, heavy, and aniliial sort of man, in whom they have no personal pride. Tho abuse which has been heaped upon Mr. ulainc, ami tno iiicouhhik storm of calumnies and slanders which has been hurled at him iu the hope that some of them would stick, havo also intensified the devotion ot his friends, while their admiration has been roused by the manly way in which he has met his slanderous per secutors face to faco and hurled back their calumnies. The dastardly attack they have made upon Mrs. Blaine and her children has also rallied them to his side, aud awakened a chivalrous sentiment of determination that they shall be protected. They haeo never before had the opportunity of testify ing to the great American statesman and commoner the esteem in which he is held, aud they are doing it now with a unanimity aud spirit that are almost without a parallel in our history. The popular demonstrations which have greeted Mr. Blaine thus tar on his triumphal journey will be contin ued as he proceeds nay more, as he conies westward they will grow in euthusiasm, for ho id admired even more iu the. West than in the East, as he partakes more of the dash and go ahead qualities ot Western people. The tidal wave will grow as he comes West, and his presence among them will iuspiro Kcpublicaus with fresh determination both for October and November. Chicago Tribune. "I WlNh 1 Had Capital.' So we heard a great, strapping young man exclaim the other day. We concluded that he wanted a little practical advice, and we will give it to him. You want capital, do you? And suppose you had what you call capi tal, what would you do with it? Haven't you hands, feet, muscle, bone, brains, health, aud don't you call that capital ? What more capital did God give anybody ? 'Oh, but they arc not money!" say you. But they are more than money, aud nobody can take them trom yu. Don't you know how to ue them? If you don't, it's time you were learn ing. Take hold of the plow, or hoe, or jack-plane, or broad-axe, and go to work. Your capital will then, in due time, yield you a large interest. Ay, but there's the rub; you don't want to work ; you want money on credit so you can play gentleman and specu late, and end by playing the vagabond. Or you want a farm with plenty of bauds upon it to do the work while you run over tho country and dissi pate ; or you want to marry some rich girl who may bo foolish enough to take you for your good looks, that she may support you. Shame on you, young man ! Go to work with the capital you have, and you'll soon make interest enough upon it to give you as much money as you need, aud make you feel like a man. If you cannot make mono)' on what capital you have, you could not if you had a large amount in cash. If you do" not know how to use bone, muscle, and brains, you would not know how to use gold. It you let the capital yon have lie idle, and waste, and rust out, it would be the samo with ou it you had gold; you would only kunw how to waste it. Then don't stand about, a great, helpless boy, waiting fo? something to turn up, but go to work. Take the first work you can find, no mutter what it is, so that you do it well ; always do your best. If you manage tho capital you already have, you will soon have plenty more to manage: but if you cannot or will not manage the capital God has givcu you, you will never have any other to manage Do you hear, younir man? Some of our bourbon friends are very unhappy because Senator Ed munds is uot stumping the country for KlaiucV Not to speak of the pa tent fact that they would tin much more miseiable if he were, it is per haps only necessary to tell them that the senator is not in the habit ot Htumping, and- that he has made a speech or two this tall that quite satisfy lepubllcans. By the way why don't we see the glare of Thurman's bandana on the sky? Why is the voice of McDonald no longer heard in the land? Whence this apparent paralysis? of tho touguc of tho tall Sycamore of the wabash ? Has Bay ard juBt learned that silence is golden ? Even tho mellow notes of Vilas are hushed, and the bull dog bark of Bragg is heard no more. Give ub a rest Lincoln Journal. Citizenship of the republic must bo the pauoply and safeguard of him who wears it. The American citizen, rich or poor, native or naturalized, white or colored, must everywhere walk secure in his persoual and civil rights. The republic should never accept a lesser duty, it can never as sume a nobler one, than the protection of the humblest man who owes it loy altyprotection at home, and protec tion which shall follow him abroad, into whatever land he may go upon a lawful erraad. Jama G. Blaise. Eaglamd aad Blaise. Brooklyn Daily Times. The Times has never had the least doubt as to the reasons why the Eng lish press of New York is bo bitter in its opposition to Blaine, and so reso lute in its determination to defeat him. These newspapers dare not avow their true purpose" and motives. They pretend that they regard Blaine as a corrupt man, although they know that a Democratic Investigating Com mittee virtually exhonerated him, and that the purest and best men in the country have been aud aro his asso ciates and friends. The true reason why the New York Herald, the New York Times, aud the rest of the pro-Euglish press hate and fear Blaine is clearly set forth by the London Pall Jlall Ga zette. The Gazelle speaks to Eng lish readers and it speaks frankly. It says : We own nearly one-half of the Northern continent; we do an im mense trade with South America; our treaty obligations iu Central America arc considerable; and the intervening seas are sprinkled with British possessions. On Mr. Blaine's theory of the Universe all this is wrong. The Old World has no busi ness in tho New. Of course, ho does not propose to drivo us out at the point of the bayonet. lie is not a lunatic but a very able and shrewd Yankee. But wherever he can he will oust us trom the position which wo hold ; wherover an opportunity oilers he will use it to the utmost to replaco our influence aud our trade by tho influence aud trade of the United States, and he will regard it as his chief object to promote a great American confederacy under the segis of the Government at Washing ton, which would tend to increase the export trade of tho Uuited States at theexpenso of that of Groat Britain. This is no mere inference from his acts. It is avowed iu almost so many word iu an article which he pub lished two years ago in a Chicago magazine, and is confirmed by every dispatch which he wrote during his short tenure of office under General Garfield. Let every American citizen read this. Cut it out and read it to your friends and neighbors. Thoy don't talk any rot about Mulligan's letters over iu England, for thoy can afford to tell the truth. Is it any wonder that tho mob of pro-Euglish dudes and Free Traders ; the newspapers that arc controlled by English capital or owued by an glified profligaters, hate and lie about James G. Blaine? The fact is, the Republican party, without making a noise about it, com menced to reform the civil service as soon as Mr. Lincoln was elected in 1801. Corruption in official circles reached its maximum under tho ru!c of Martin Van Burcn, when the amount of money stolen by federal officers who handled it averaged over eleven dollars out of every thousand. Under Harrison and Tyler the losses were reduced and rose again under Polk. Pierce and Buchanan to three, four and five per thousand. But when the Republicans came into power the change in honesty and efficiency was startling. The losses of public money in the hands of officials, notwithstand ing the waste aud extravagance of war, fell at once from $3.S0 under Buchanan to seventy-six cents for each thousand dollars collected and disbursed. Under Johnson the losses were reduced to fifty-seven cents per ono thousand dollars ; under Grant to twenty-four cents. Under Hayes it fell to three cents for every ten thous and dollars handled, and under Ar thur it has fallen again to eighteen cents for every one hundred thousand dollars. Now let us pause a moment to listen to the hoarse howl ot Demo crat iu orators about Republican steal ing. Ex llr. Illaiinv. "Gath," in the N. Y. Tribune, says: Speaking of Mrs. Hlaine to a gen tleman a week ago, her husband said : ''There is my sheet-anchor; there is my prop." And the friend afterward remarked : "That is the most over looked great woman iu America. Her character is strong. She is a Puritan, and Washington society she will not bend to, giviug her attention to her husband, her children, aud her own mind. While Bhe would not think of writing for publication, she can write as striking a letter as her cousin, Gail Hamilton. Mr. Blaine is not as qrdcr ly as she is ; he often trusts his mem ory too much and keeps no copies of his letters. He loses a paper some times and gets fidgety. 'Wait, father,' she says, 'perhaps I can look it up,' and Bhe seldom fails to find it. She knows him thoroughly, aud is in some respects a stronger character than he. Her humor and analysis when the day is done and they gather around the fire are remarkable." No Republican marching club should think of going into the great procession tomorrow night without ono transparency bearing Grant's words to Blaine: : They have hccn aliiisin you : : ax they did me; but they will : ulcrt. you nuvertlielcN. And another with Gen. Grant's other declaration : ' I do not know of any lime "when Uepuldicau surces v:i more essential to National pros- " perity than at pre.Nunt. ; These words should blaze all along the line of the procession. They are worthy ot the man who tillered them, of the man to whom they were ut tered, and of the part' aud the occa sion. Phila. Tress. Oar Next C?oag;rcAMiiiiiti.
