TlIH campaign of eviction has takoi
a now lease of life in Ireland in Count ,
Clare. Thcro are over one huiulro
families or more than a thousand per

have been issued for non-payment c
rent. The overdue rent of over fou
hundred thousand dollars dates back n
far as 1874 , when an arbitrary incrcas
was made on the Vandoleur estate. A
only a small number of the tenants hav
boon able to moot the terms sot by th
land owners , the harsh measures c

Iniiulnnt | and Imprudent.
The railroad republican organ hns the
Itnpudeiu'o to a ert that the editor of
Tin : UKK is dlfgrnntled over the snap
judgment rail Of the county committee
because it has movidcd for the election
of alternates , and thus abolished prox
ies. This is decidedly cool , to bay the
lea > it. livery well-informed republican
in this stat < ; knows that the railroad
faction have dominated the party
and controlled Its convention1 * mainly
by the Use of proxies which thny either
iKHight outright or obtained fraudu
lently from bulldo/.ed railroad em
ployes. It Is a matter of history in this
county that t'niitn Pacific shop men who
wore elected delegates to county con
ventions on anti-monopoly tickets were
compelled , by threats of discharge , to
give up proxies to shop bosses , liimimo
instances those inon were made to leave
town on convention day , and whore men
refused to glv'o ' up proxies , they were
ordered out of town on duty at distant
stations.
It is notorious that parties elected l > y
the faction opposed to the misrule of the
railroad Inwns wore bought up and
given positions in the company's em
ploy for betraying the voters that
trusted thoin. It is a matter of hlitory
hat this infamous- interference with u
rei- and fair expression of the party
, vas , in Season and out of season , do-
loutu'od and opposed by TillBins. : .
And when the republican county com-
nitteo some years u'go inaug-
iratcd a system of registration
0 prevent fraud nnd repenting at
republican primaries , and provided for
Hornales as substitnlo * for absent del-
gates , the railroad faction by the most
ilUgraceful and riotous a1--nulls , in
which ballot boxes were smashed ,
judges of election forcibly ejected and
voters literally driven from thu polls ,
ik-feated the reform , and after bribing
enough members of the committee to got
1 majority , had anew primary called on
the old method of repeating and ballot-
) ox shilling. This happened note
< o very mtui.years ago ,
under the lead of Paul Vandorvoort and
the ritll.'ond cohorts.
With such a record behind it the
hampion of the convention packet * it
rather indiscreet in intimating that
TIIK Bun has an interest in reviving
and keeping up the proxy system.
What Tim l'ii : does demand in reason
able notice tolho republican voters , a
free and iintrammeled choice of dele
gates , an honest countof the ballots and
i choice of delegates by the convention
who will not be manacled and gagged
and swapped like cattle.

Under the provisions of the law the
consent of two-thirds of the Indians
amounting by the last census to nearly
thirty thousand , must be secured be

This is likely under the mos

The great Sioux reservation contain !

of the vast territory of which it is ji
part. For years it has been n barrlei
to the settlement of our northern border

ago of railroads to the Black
Hills. Under the treaty proposed
the Indians will bo bunchcc

I'nrty Deserters.
It appears probable that the numboi
of deserters from the two great politi
cal parties will bo larger this yeai
than if usual in a presidential contester
or than has happened In any previous
campaign hinco 1ST0. . Already then
Is a very considerable list of deserter
from both parties , which include
men of prominence and influence , am
ns the campaign advances it is to bt
expected that the list will ho grcatl ;
extended. Undoubtedly many republicans
cans and democrat * who nro di&pleaset
with the positions of their rospoetivt
nartles on the tariff question an
seriously discussing with themselves tin
question of personal duty , and thosi
with whom the courage of conviction
is stronger than devotion to party
will in time transfer tholr allegiance ti
the camp with whloh they have boon ii
antagonism. With the great mnjorlt ;
of men there ave but few of the affair' ,
of life which they regard with grcato
seriousness than the question of break
ing away from the party ntlllintion of :
lifetime. Very generally they are republicans
publicans or democrats by Inheritance
nnd It is like repudiating any othoi
family tradition to enter into now polit
leal relations.
It Is a mistake to suppose that part ;
ties are not with the largo majority o
men among the hardest to sund/jr. I
is an exceptional exigency that cm
effect many and notublu deiurtlons Iron
the old parties. '
This year presents such an exigency
and hence the largounurnbur.ot. mun o

eady changed their party allegiance ,
giving assurance thut many moro
vlll follow. Thus fur neither
iirty : has been materially the gainer
> y the changes. IVrlmps the most im
portant acquisition to the democrats Is
hat of Mr. Scth Low , c\-innyor of
3rool < lyn , N. Y.Jiut ills fully ollVl
) .V thu do.-iortlon from the democracy ot
ox-'ongressmnn ( Warnerof Ohio. The
tariff Is-uo was the prime cause of the
change in both canes. IHn not probtt-
lie that either of these gentlemen twlll
ako any active part in the campaign ,
nit thi-ir example will have some effect.
As tin ) campaign advances reports of
: hanges in parly allegiance may bo ox-
iccled to rapidly multiply , furnlnhlng
, o party organs a welcome If not very
valuable sort of campaign ammunition.
In the end it will doubtlesi he found
that the account between the two great
lurtles very nearly balances.
Tin : Xcw York .S'mi recently pub
lished a stor.\ . said to have been told by
a Plnkorton detective , which professed
to explain the method by which the
Pinkerton's secured the confidence ol
members of the brotherhood of loco
motive engineers , and thus obtained n
knowledge of tlio alleged dynamite plot.
The effect of this narration was to cast
a stigma on the entire brotherhood by
charging that it hud put aside a special
fund with whieh to furnish dynamite to
tho-je of its members having the cour
age to use it. It may notbo outside the
legitimate province of n newspaper tc
thus insidiously a-s-.aH the charaetot
of a reputable organi/ation of workingmen -
ingmen , on the al'.vays qucs
lionnblo authority of a detective , but we
venture to think that all fair-mindci ]
people will condemn it as a gro- in-
jiiHtico. albeit the story is so mnnifortUj
incredible as to carry its own reputa
tion , except with those whoso malice 01
prejudice allows thorn to believe every
thing damaging to the brotherhood
No unprejudiced person will give i
moment's credence to the impliei
charge that the brotherhood is a band
of dynamiters , or believe that as an
organization it has the least sympathy
with any such unlawful 'londuct as is ai
Jeged. through the agency of the Pinker
toe detectives , against several of it-
members. For years the brotherhooi
has borne itself as the highest oxamph
this country afforded of what a labor or
gani/.ation should be. The large ma
jority of the members are men of more
than average intelligence , the heads o
families , and many of them property
owners. It is an outrage tosueh men t <
implicate them as a body In one of tin
most heinous of crimes , and no ncw
paper having any regard for justice
would do to. Tlio private detective sys
tern in this country , mid wo nro no
aware thill It is tolerated in any other
is steadily becoming more of a menaci
to the rights and the security ot tin
people , and the lime must come whei
there will bu a universal damund for it
suppression.
