Notary Public. THE packing house combine had it nil tliolr own way this time , but ijcxt fall there will bo a lively upheaval in the P , H. honcyard. JIM BOYD'S convention ignored rcssnmu MeShane and snubbed Char toy Brown. The whirligig of time brings its revenges. IP the Queen of May ventured out in this vicinity , aho has probably been crowned with pneumonia rather than a wreath of May flowers. IF it ho true that General Sheridan docs not decline to have his name brought before the Chicago convention , there ought to bo a withdrawal of de clinations all along the lino. Tjlii card of John P. Coots , which ap- .poara elsewhere , ought to sot at rest the silly gabble about Rosowator's responsi- 'bllity for the failure of the bricklayers to enforce their demands on the con tractors , _ Tins young colts arc making it de cidedly unpleasant for the old political war horses. Simon Cameron was not i little chagrined in being distanced ii Pennsylvania , whcro ho has so long hold undisputed political sway. BETWEEN the lawyers who are trying to break Mr. Tildon's will and the doc tor who sues for $148,000 forprofossiona services , the executor will bo onliged tx borrow enough money to erect a , suitable tombstone to Mr. Tildon's memory. FOR the present we deem it right am proper not to divulge the name of tlu old wheel horse that has furnished bui reporter with a chapter of revelation : which will be read with emotion by Mr McShano , and supreme disgust by Mr Bo'yd. Sufllco it to say that the ok man is nobody's fool , by a larcc major ity. = = OWNERS of American fishing vessel are rabid against allowing Canada 01 the provinces to send a pound of fish U the United States under any circum stances. But those high protectionist : import'imdor contract labor Nova Sco tia sailors und skippers to man thoii \ fishing vessels in defiance of Amoricat shipping laws. Yet these same protectionists tionists uro pointed out to the Aaioricat laborer , and especially to tlio commoi American sailor , as his bosom friends. As predicted in tlio BEE , Mr. Weir o the Underwriters , was merely Mulling vrhou ho said some time ngo that insurance anco rates would bo raised in the city Of course the fire department would b < strengthened if the service wore in creased by the addition of several no\\ carts and steam engines. And it woulc correspondingly lessen the risk of lln companies , But the lire department i serviceable at present without addinf moro expense to taxpayers. If Mr "Weir fools that the insurunco compun los are not sullloiontly protected , hi should immediately organize an under writers' salvage patrol , such as oxlbts ii every city of importance. ENGLAND has been oxporhnontlnf with tobacco growing for two or thro ( years with marked success , But a sudden don stop hna boon put to it. Some anti quarlan dug up an old statute of GUurloi II , which expressly forbids the cultlva tion of tobacco in Great Britain under i penalty of J200 a rod planted. The lav vrhich has never boon repealed is a sur vlval of that kind of legislation whiol was framed solely to give tlio colony o Virginia n monopoly of tobauco culture And hero Virginia was going on foi over ono hundred yearn raising tobncci In blissful ignorance" that she was pro tooted from competition in free trtidt England. investigation of the Burlingtoi strike by the in tor-Mute commerce com mission is announced to begin at Chicago cage on next Saturday. Chief Arthur of tlio Brotherhood of Locomotive En Ciucora , ia now in Chicago ongngcc' with the attorneys of the broMiorhoot in mapping out n plan of invcatigatioi which the commission will be asked t < consider. Undoubtedly no effort wil .bo spared on the part of the brother hood to secure a thorough investigation and it is to bo expected that the com mission will acquiesce in ail reasonable demands to this oud. The public will regard tlio progress of Iho investigutipi and the result with a ereiU , dca.1 of in * & . . ; . * , The XVnr IB On. The war is on now , ns Dr. Miller USO ( ' to say when ho was at the helm ot UK Herald. The irrepressible conflict be twcon the ambitious ox-mayor of Omalu and Congressman McShano has bcgur in dead earnest ) and will continue until the ides of November. Possibly itmaj extend beyond the presidential election and rcopon in a Hfo and death struggle before the next legist turo. The racy interview with r Cas3 county war-horso of the old- time democracy lots daylight intc Boyd'a cunning scheme to supersede Mr. McSlmno as the dispenser of federal patronage , always providing that Mr , Boyd is retained on the national com' miltoo and Grover Cleveland ro-olectod , Those are two very improbable contin gencies , as viewed from the observatory of the Omalm BEEnt this juncture. Bui the war is on , ns wo have said , nnd will stay on with varied results to the re spective combatants. The Nebraska democracy , will look on with moro than ordinary interest. Republicans will be in the position of the old woman , when her husband was struggling with the bear "Go it , boar ; go it husbandl" Railroad Candidates. The effort of certain persons to start n presidential boom for Senator Stanford has como to naught by the positive avowal of the railroad autocrat that ho is nou a candidate. Ho would not say , however , that ho would decline the nomination if it wcro tendered , but merely declared that ho is not socking it and docs not expect it. It is the audacity of naming Stanford in such c connection that makes the mattoi worthy of attention. The fact that there are men who profess lo bcliovo it possible that under any circumstances the republican party could make such n man as the Central Pacific president its standard bearer in n national campaign suggests the existence of a low estimate of the intelligence nnd integrity of the party which is anything but pleasing , and what is even moro serious , it sug gests the presence of an influence within the party that ia an obvittus menace te its character as the conservator ol popular rights and interests. It may be unnecessary to say that the nomination of Stanford for the presidency by the national republican convention is an im possibility. Such a thing is nbsolutolj forbidden by his infamous record as s railroad cormorant and corruptionisl whoso republicanism has always been mode secondary to his corporate inter ests and personal greed. But it may be necessary to consider what in- ilucnco ho and his friends mnj exert in dolor miniur ; who shall bo the candidate of the party in ordei that preparation bo made to con front and thwart such ' influence , The intimation that a man like Stan ford has a following that would elevate him to the presidency carries the assur ance that this clement will not bo ar inactive force in the national conven tion , that it. will have a Well-dofinet purpose to accomplish not difficult tc understand , and that it will need to b < kept down if the party is not to bo sur rendered to a control that would cer tainly lead it to defeat. Another railroad candidate is beinf more vigorously put forward in Nev York , nnd being in most respect : less objectionable than the Cal ifornia man , is to that oxten moro dangerous. Chauncoy M. Dopev has not been guilty of ] any such infa mous practices as have marked tlu whole career of Stanford , and ho I : vastly superior in ability and the gonu incness of his republicanism. But nom the less his interests have for maiij years been bound up with a great rail road corporation , his sympathies ar ( presumably wholly with those corpora tions , and he is therefore not the sort o man whom the republican party cat safely take us a national leader. Mr Dopew has intimated his own sense o the fact , but ho stands about in the po sition of Stanford in this respect that while not seeking or ox peeling the nomination ho wouli not refuse it if offered him It is already determine * that ho will represent the rppublicun of Now York in the national con von tion and it is expected that he will exert ni inconsiderable influence thero. IIov will it be cast ? Will ho bo actuated b ; a purpose single to the success of the re publican party , or will ho deliver his in ilucnco with reference to subservinf these interests with which his persona welfare and sympathies are bound up ! Will the Donow and Stanford elements unite for a common cause , and thu : place the party in a position that wil subjqct.it to the charge of being in tin control of the great railroad corpora tions and their natural allies , the trusts combinations and monopolies of al kindsV These questions seem to us to bo pertinent tinont at this time for the serious deliberation liberation of all republicans. The availability of the republican presided tial candidate will bo measured cliiollj by these qualities in his character unt career that will command the confidence of the people. Tlio man who can be shown to have always been faithful tc the interests of the people should bo tlu ono preferred for the party's candidate , There is danger in the prominence ant power of the railroad candidate ! that this may not bo the case , and \ ' will rcqulro somiTvigllance and offon to avert this danger. Good Couiivol 'J-'lion anil Now. In 1870 General Garflold urged ropub licana in the house of representatives that the wifcost tiling they could dc would Ijo to unite "on a moderate re due tion of duties on imported articles. The advice was hooded , though the results luivo bhico in large measure been un done. Similar counsel is in order now , There are oven moro imperative ! rca- sons ut this time for a revision of the tarill than existed eighteen years ngo , There is a more general popular donmiul now than cxiBtod then for a reduction of duties , and the oppression of thete duties is moro severely felt. There was no great surplus at that time in the na tional treasury for which the govern ment had no legitimate use , and the steady accretion of [ which embarrassed the business of the country , If it < a ; ID reduce.dutios than , as Gurfiold , President Grant nnd other leading rq publicans declared It to bo , It is infin itcly moro so now , The republicans of the present house will make n grievous mistake if thoj shall do nothing moro thtui obstruc tariff reduction by defeating the bit now under discussion. Their duty boll from n party and a patriotic point o\ \ view is to show the country that like tin republicans in the congress of 1870 thoj nro williny to make n moderate reduc tion of tariff duties , nntl that they avc able to unite and harmonize on a mcas uro for this purpose that will bo fair tc all interests. Their ntlUudo now is tha' of simple obstruction , and that is no what they owe the country , or what it the end will bo best for their party They need another Gnrllold with the clearness of vision to see the signs o the times , the wisdom to rightly in terpret them , and the courage to point oul what is proper and necessary to be done. LAST week was memorable in nava' circles owing to the launching of the gunboat Yorktown and the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius at Philadelphia. I : the Yorktown the government expects to have a model of the most approved typo of vessel for her displacement afloat. The gunboat is ono of three war ships in course of construction nnd is the smallest nnd least formidable of her sister ships , The Vesuvius is destined to revolu tionize iron-clad war ships and nava' warfare just ns the Monitor in 1802 became came the typo for the turret war ships of our present timo. Her battery is the novel feature and consists of three gum from which shells containing 200 pounds of dynamite are to bo projected by the force of compressed air. When it is borne in mind that the destructive power of one of these shells is sufficient to utterly annihilate the largest ntu ! most powerful vessel alloat , two or three such dynamite cruisers will put the United States in n very comfortable position iu case of war. Tin : Cutting affair comes up again , Secretary Bayard has made a formal tie mand on Mexico for indemnity , on the ground that Mexican authorities had nc right to imprison Cutting for an offense committed on American soil. Bui Mexico points to her penal code which makes it lawful to punish offender ; against Mexican citizens even when the on"onse is committed in foreign tcrri tory . Tlio claim of jurisdiction in the Cutting case on the part of Mexico is simnly preposterous. Equity and inter national law are violated , and the self- respect of the United States demand' ' that ample reparation bo made for the injury nnd insult to an American citi zen. The outcome of the trouble may be moro serious than at first antici pated. THE now license law in Pcnnsylvanif is accomplishing moro than was antici paled for it in reducing tlio number o saloons. Wo have heretofore noted the extraordinary effect in Philadelphia where the law has been in force foi Borne time. Now comes the statcmon that in Pittsburgh , where the law wen into operation yesterday , only a fev moro than two hundred saloons out o seven hundred continue in business The reduction is not wholly ducr to th < high license , but in part to the rcfusa of the court authorized to issue license to permit more than a certain numbc of saloons to be operated in particulai localities. The law is very thorough and its operation thus far has justifice all tliat was promised for it. THE labor parade was a very credit able demonstration. In spite of the in clement weather the various trades wore fully represented , and the mem' hers marching in procession made ! very favorable impression upon the vas concourse of people assembled in tlu streets on the line of march. The mora effect of the parade cannot fail to prove beneficial to workingmem whether mechanics or unskilled laborers. The promoters of this demonstration , and especially the Carpenters' union , undoi whose auspices Mr. McGuire was ten dered this flattering ovation , have reason-to feel proud of their successful effort. GOVERNMENT DIRECTOR SAVAGE who has just returned from Bostoi whcro ho had been in attendance at tlu annual directors meeting of the Uniot Pacilic , tolls U3 that tlio proposcc Omaha depot and other promised locu improvements have been deferred unti after congress shall have passed the Union Pacific extension bill. This i : just what might have been expected The Union Pacific has no money will which to build a decent depot at Omaha but they had money enough to build i handsome depot at Cheyenne and foi costly improvements olsowhero. THE board of public works starts oui this spring with the determination oi holding contractors strictly to the lottoi of their duties. The raking which Mr. Bulcombo gave Panning & Co. , whc are notoriously negligent as slrco ! sweepers , will have a wholesome cflocl on every city contractor. The various Inspectors of paving and sewering will in all probability tend to their business much moro faithfully since the board reserves to itself the right of dismiss ing them if incompetent or negligent. OUR amicable contemporaries who are taking buch a deep interest in the coi\- struclion of the BKE bulldintr protest al together too much when they profess ignorance about the plots set on fool in their own offices to carry on despic able and cowardly warfare upon the BEE and its editor under the convenient cloak o ! the Central Labor union. Thie kind of warfare , like all former at tempts against the Hui : , will only prove a boomerang. IT is amusing to watch the Burling ton's sheet on lower Douglas strcfet hug itself in a delirium of joy over the scathing utlupk which Mr , McGuirc hurled nt the Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy and its paid organs , in the BBE will be found the call for holding the republican primaries for the purpose of electing delegates to the Dotrgltts county conven tion. Every republican in the city it expected to do his duty. But why was this call withhold until the eleventh hour up to within tyvo days of the primaries ? How can republicans In the country precincts bo expected to par ticipate before the call has time tc reach them ? LINCOLN is to bo paved largely with brick this season. The experiment will bo watched with interest , not onlj in Lincoln , but in every other city in the stalo. If the brick pavement can bo laid down Cheap enough nnd proves durable it certainly should have the preference over other pavements , es pecially if the paving bricks are manu factured at home. PAT FORD declared himself in favor of dividing the spoils among the voters , und Pat's patriotic declaration was ap plauded nnd nrovatlod , but the Douglas county democracy soloinnly pledged , by resolution , that "tho civil service laws which have boon enacted will be maintained. " The consistency in the snout of the democratic Omahog is n neat jewel. A Hard Pnto.

The articles of incorporation of the Vic toria Mineral Springs company have been iiled. The principal place of doing business is in Mt. Helena , Custer county , Nob. The nature of the business to bo transacted is the manufacturing , preparing and shipping of mineral waters.

To his astonishment ho found the rocks composing the fireplace , instead ol being cold , wcro in a glow of heat , emitting no ilamo , smoke or smell. Ho picked up some of the loose rock and then broke some from the ledge. Tlio rock is white in color , resembling pumice stone and ignllns and burns like anthracite , leaving but little ash , and that of a beautiful white color. A sam ple will bo sent to the state geologist for his Inspection. It is thought that the ledge can bo traced for several miles. " California.

"I would prefer you should not quote me by name , " said an old democratic whoelhorsc from down in Cass county , in the Paxton ro tunda , "but mark my word.tthis Jim Boyd victory is liable to upset McShane's apple cart before ho gets to be a year older. : have known Jim Boyd these twenty years he's cunning as a fox and as vicious as r coyote in politics. His game now is to head the delegation to St. Louis and then get him self re-elected member of the national com mittee. To a man who isn't up to snuff that scheme is proper enough , but there is likely to be an awful drop in MeShane stock if Jim succeeds in pulling through. McShano just now is the head center of our party in the state so far as patronage is concerned and swings a boundless influence with the administra tion. He expects , of course , to remain on top , but there ho is liable to slipup before ho downs it. 'Sposo ho don't pet ro-elcctcd to congress and fails to connect it on the senator- ship , which is most likely to happen in spite of all the money and patronage , this thing ol carrying a district Uiat is more than six thousand republican by any democrat doesn't often happen in a national campaign year. Besides Mac has made some personal ene mies among democrats in this district through post oDlco fights and squabbles over railroad postal clerkships and the district attorneyships and collectorships. And how much help do you suppose ho will get out of Jim Boyd next falH Not very much , if Jim knows himself. Jim didn't tear his shirt the last time and was more surprised and chagrined ttian any man excepting Church Howe over Mac's Dig majority. Jim claims to bo the most popular man in the district , you know. And catching onto Manderson's sent will bo like climbing a greased polo. I don't ' 'sposo Mandcrson , himself , has the Inside track , and ten chances to ono ho wont make it. Nobody except old Granny Tip- ton over has boon re-elected from this state , and ho wouldn't have been if his first term had been more than two years. But a democrat getting into Manuorson's shoes is wild talk. Well , sup pose McShano sllds up on congress and on the senate , whcro will ho bo after the 4th of March ) Dcadcr'n a door nail so far at influ ence goes outside of your county , but Jim Boyd would bo the great dispenser if he stays on the national committee. It has always been usage to let the member of the national committee rcpicsent the party when it has nobody in congress to rep- icscnt it , and no state ofllccr to divide the responsibility. Do you see now what Jim's game is ! " TAI.KB. Malt Miller , David City : There is a dls position throughout the stnto to give tlio Second and Third districts two delegates each that would mnlco four ; and to give the First district , because of its large population based upon the democratic vote , two district delegates and two men at largo. There ore of course men throughout the state who are opposed to Boyd as delcgato-at-largo , as there are men who are opposed to Morton , Brown , and others. But I think McShano could harmonize nil differences. I think the feeling is to give McShano all the power that can bo given him so as to make the most of his position. .7. F Wellington , Sidney : I am In favor of McShano being at the head of the dele gate ticket. Wo are all McShuno men. though not in preference to any other good man. I represent six votes , nnd what wa would most desire is somebody who would [ > rcvcnt this old light coming up again. J , Woods Smith , Callaway : I don't know yet that I am n delegate * , but if the old wrangling in the party is to bo kept up , I am In favor of putting the parties to it on the ihclf and letting them fight it out there.

The papers try to makcjit ippear that the Nebraska delegation In con- jress , with the exception of McShuno , know lothing about the change. Why Dorsey vroto Kincaid at O'Neill that ho was favor- ible to the rhungo und soon after telegraphed Draper , Suit Hiver , near Niobrura , after the ssuanco of the president's order for the re- noval , to got up protests against thoclmngn. ) orsey did this because ho wanted to knock tut Kinculd , who has fjuite a following there 'or congress. / ' . Fuhru : Holt county Is putting mo for- yard for delegate at large to the national ionveution , I was delegate at the last na- lonal democratic convention , but I don't enow that 1 will go this time because there ire a thousand men wanting the place. Vbout the removal of the Und otllco to ! ) 'Nclll , I would bay that it Is just whcro it lught to bo. It Is the most convenient place o nine-tenths of the homesteaders. He- iidcs. it's or. a railroad and the other pjaeo Is inly in a mud-halo off tlio railroad. / 1 * ee hat Senator Manderson says ho didn't know .nytbing about the change. Now , I ain't Ightlnf ; Senator Manderson at all , but he mow three ? years ago of tuo proposed ibiugo and the fight and told i > t hiuiscU that ho would keep Hioul it. Ho did Keep .uiet about It and I said as much as that In my 1 ; lor to the State ) Journal yesterday. [ M Fnliy who Is n brother-in-law of Flttgcral of Lincoln , was scon talking to Dave Fit RCfald , a brother of the latter , -who had Ju iologrnphod to Sutton of Lincoln , to como I on the l50 ; train. This combination aui goitcd n query as to whether John Fltzgorn ! was n candidate for delegate. ] "I don't kno that ho is , " Mr. Fahy answered.Mr. . Fit gcrald Is now In Duluth , but 1 don't think 1 would docllna the nomination If It was to dercd him. " Tobias Castor , IFHbrr ' . I guess nearly n the delegates In my district favor tnvsolf ns delegate to St , Louis , Mr. Uoyd li voi popular throughout nil our county , but M McShauo's name- will not bo mentioned. II 1ms declined the nomination. I think tl state convention will nominate two clolcgati from each district nnd four nt largo , one district nominating its own men , leaving tl delegates at largo to bo nominated by tl whole convention. No , I don't think the Fir district will bo allowed thrco district del gates nnd thrco at largo. James K. Kortli Mr , Boyd stands wo with our people and I think will bo supportc n his present petition on the national dcnv cratlc executive committee. I don't want tli position , no. sir. Yei , I nm a candidate fc delegate to St. Louis , nnd , I suppose , deli gato-at-lnrgo. Ourpeoplo don't ' think voi much about Morton's being u delegate. don't think they cnro about a man who Is o ] posed to President Cleveland. I Umlerstan there Is a feeling in favor of giving tli first district ( including Douglas countj two district delegates and two dulogutca r largo , while the second and third conlln themselves to two district delegates nnd or delegate aploco nt largo. There isn't ' muc said out uiy way about Brown for any pos tion. tion.J" J" . L. McDonoitah , Ord : Inmlnlfavor ( any good mau as delegate and nm not consi quently opposed to Boyd. McShauo woul bo an excellent man , but ho doesn't want II Anyway he's got about as much as ho wnnti The only objection seems to bo that ho dl not do exactly what was right , In the opinlo of some folks when ho did not leav out Blcrbowor. But then I auppos there wore so many follows who wanted th place that the olllco couldn't be declared vi cant with much satisfaction. I think if th democrats had united all factions and agree upon a man and gene to Boyd , every on would now bo nil right , nnd Bierbowe wouldn't bo In there now. Charles Jtrown : The convention of ycstei day means , of course , that Jim Boyd has go the delegation. What am I going to do Why , Jingo , to do nothing. I haven't boon candidate for anything. I had no moco to d with the Ninth ward ticket than you did. didn't leave my ward ( the fourth ; on the day of the primaries. scratched Montgomery's naino off m ticket because ho wasn't n resident of in , ward. Yes , I know Unit when Jim Boy < went down on Tenth street among the dives lie said I was a candidate , but Ii - . I wasn't Why should U It's only thrco or four year ago when my party honored mo before. Now why should I want to bo up all the time ? I the party has got so as to admit that only on man shall bo worthy of election - [ Her Mr. Brown's talk was broken off by a loca supporter , who had a big scheme which h poured in diaries' car , ] Mr. Moraan , Buffalo 1 don't want on ; ofllce , but I've got some friends here that dc I'm for u fair , square-toed delegation thn will help along the democracy. Senator Sheraln , Fremont The questioi of McSlmno has been determined by you delegation , they instructed for Boyd didn' thevi I nm hero from Dodge , and there nr thirteen in our delegation who are with m for delegate , but I don't expect to get it , be cause in our district there arc about 22 delegate votes , and because also , I am Morton democrat and not a Boyd one. W < have the largest congressional in the country and if you want to gamble on it you can. am in favor of each district in the convention tion electing three delegates , and the convention vontion ono at large. I don't think Boyi will have much difficulty in going at large He showed mo a tnblo giving him 333 vote to 170 against him. H. D. Sattcrlcc , Stoux County Herald Unrrlsoitf I have no objections to findt Morton , but I think a man who has stood b' ' the party for years , assisting it as Jim Boy ( did when it had no money , is worthy of sorai consideration now , or whatever honor wi have to give him , if it happens to bo dolegati at large. Frank P. Ireland , Kcbraslsa City Thori are ten in our delegation , but only two o them have arrived. The others will bo hen to-morrow. I am in favor of Morton as i delegate at largo , nnd so are the other inem bora of our delegation. There arc about on < hundred and seventeen , I think , in our dis trict , and many of these are also for Morton Of course , wo can't tell whether the dele gates at largo will bo only ono or four. I an n favor of thrco delegates from each district and one delegate at large. Jicacli J , lllnman , North Plattc I am o delegate to the convention and the delegates from iny county want mo to be a delegate al largo to the national convention , but I air not a candidate either for that or districl delegate. With regard to the light between Boyd. Morton , Brown , end the others , 1 would like to have it exterminated. I would not vote for any of them. McSlmno would bo satisfactory. I would vote for him. [ Mr , Hinman hero discovered ho was talking to a newspaper man and stated ho did not want to be interviewed. ] Senator C. D. Casper , David City , Wo , people of of the country , grow weary ol this continued ringing in our cars of the names of Boyd , Miller , Morton , ot al. Wo , country democrats , have the courage and honesty to vote our sentiments in conven tion ? and in the legislature , but have found ourselves , on occasions , branded in bold faced typo as ' 'traitors. " To us , the Boyd- Morton fight seems to represent brains vs. a f 1,000,000 pork barrel. Having served two terms in the legislature , I do not remember the time when any democrat on the Morton aide over came to mo as a railroad lobbyist , or attempted to inlluonco every vote in a di rection contrary to the wishes of my consti tuents. The men who have faith in , and a kindly regard for J. Sterling Morton , do not make the best convention managers but they liovo the confidence of the voters , live to one. riioro are in every county from ono dozen to four dozen barnacles who can always go to conventions , but invariably get left when Lhoy trust themselves to the voters. These Bonstitute the Uoyd-Millor faction. The O'Uuy , Keltyh l am not a delegate to the state convention , nor nm I a candidate is a dclegato to the St. Louis convention. I un hero to help my friends. Ono of my friends is Jim Boyd. McSlmno Is all right , ind deserves what may bo done for him. But lis numu has not been mentioned In connec- .Ion with the delegation to St. Louis. I am lot in favor of Morton. Four years ngo ho ivas appointed as a delegate and upon n plut- rorm which was adopted at the convention. Jut ho repudiated it , with regard to the tar- IT. I am opposed to him for another reason. Last fall ho refused to support the demo- : ratio nominee for supreme judge of this itato ( Mr , O'Day ) on the ground that ho was lot n democrat. Now , this shows that in- itcad of his looking upon the party us an ag gregation of individuals , ho considers himself o bo superior to it and that boforu it can lomlmito a person It should submit the uamo o him. JOHN TIRCMXES. Mr. John Fitzgerald has advised his friends o withdraw his name us u candidate for the loner of dulcgato to the national convention. lo is deeply grateful for the kindness of his nuny friends but lie feels it his duty while resident of the Irish National Icaguu of America to abstain from active participation n politics.
