Republican Estimate of Irish Voters.
The Globe-Democrat says:
“ .V o can think of but ono native-born Irish
m.in sent to the I'nited States Senate for a
lu I loin— Mr. Con nos i, of California. He
<v>is elected by a KepubUcan Legislature in
is. ;>«'
What is here meant by “native-born
Irishman” is matter only of conjecture.
Wlielher native-born means born in
Ireland or iti the United Stales of Irish
born parentage we can only guess.
W hatever supposition be adopted the
above betrays a strange lack of ac
quaintance with public life in this coun
try. There are at this moment serving
full terms in the United States Senate
Charles W. Jones, of Florida, born hi
Ireland in 1831, and James G. Fair, of
Nevada, bora near Belfast, Ireland, in
1831. General James Shields, lately
Senator from Missouri, served a full
term in the adjoining State of Illinois
from 1819 to 1855. If reference is made
to men who were born in this country
of Irish-born parentage, the list of
those who served as Senators is almost
too long to be quoted. The Jacksons,
the McDuHies, the McDongals, the Quit
mans, the Cassadys, the Kernans, and
the long list of brilliant names which
h we alorntd the annals of the country,
make the statement still more astonish
Jng. It is hardly necessary to say-that
jevery one of the men whose names are
quoted owed his elevation in political
(life to the Democratic party. Those
recognized by the Republican oar tv
iwould, indeed, be found to be few* anil
tan bet ween.
, But the Globe-Democrat makes a fur
ther frantic appeal to Irish voters, from
.which we quote:
i ‘ Vet still the Irish wore Democrats. They
Hid not undertake to say why, but they voted
(t he Democratic ticket regularly and vigor
ously. In return, what have they received?
[A few local honors here and there, but
(scarcely a National recognition worthy of the
!ua» e. ’
This sort of appeal can scarcely fail
iof be'ng offensive to self-respecting
Irishmen. Not since Mr. Webster
S'lannigan, of Texas, asked the Chi
jeago National Convention: “What are
two here for?” has the discussion of
public questions been put on a lower
plane. The inference would seem to
be that the price of every Irishman’s
vote was an office for himself or his
friend. That ho can act from motives
(of duty to the public, and promptings
(of intelligent and patriotic iitizenship
appears to the Globe-Democrat to be in
conceivable. Is it strange that a
pariy whose organs treat Irish voters as
so many chattels tQ be bought with
offices and Government patronage finds
iittle favor among them and rare
y or never gets their votes?”
What have they received?” is
asked. What that is valuable and
Worthy their consideration do the body
Of voters ever receive? Good govern
ment, and equitable and equal adminis
-1 ration of the laws. This is whi\t they
have received wherever the Democratic
party has controlled legislation and ad
ministration. What are the few offices
5n comparison with the boon of civil and
religious freedom, and perfect protec
tion of person and property? Nine
hundred and ninety-nine out of every
thousand of the people, whether native
or foreign born, have no earthly con
cern in the offices except to see them
liehl by honest men and faithfully ad
ministered. It is an insult to the hon
esty and an impugnment of the common
sense ot any class of voters to appeal to
them for their votes with a promise of
offices and patronage. Many Irishmen
have served.the country at the call of
(the Democratic party, and very fen at
lie call of any other party; but they
Pave in no sense put themselves undei
obligations involving the freedom of
their votes. The party has honored
itself in honoring the men, some of
whose names wo have quoted at the be
ginning of this article. Those men
achieve 1 distinction as other Americans
of worth and ability have won reeog
niti n. With them there has been
no buying with offices or selling out for
patronage. Considerations of the pub
lic good, modified by such regard for
self-interest as is universal in human
affairs, have been the basis of the mu
tual trust of the Democratic party and
Irish voters. W r e hope such considera
tions will continue and be paramount.
It will Ie an evil day for the country
when demagogues, selfish office-seekers,
and rucre managers of either of the in
thiential parties" shall he able to trade
offices ana patronage for the votes of
any considerable portion of the people.
The 1 lann gan school of political mor
ality, which seems to command the en
tre respect of the Globe-Democrat, is
fortunately not recognized outside the
R qmbliaan party. \Y r e trust there will
be found many in that party who will
refuse to receive its doctrine as a cor
rect rule of ac;ion.— tit. Louis Repub

Mr. Blaine as a Reformer.
The contrast between Mr. Blaine as
a politician in office and Mr. Blame as
a politician in pursuit of an office is
nowhere more striking than in his atti
tude toward the reibrm in the civil
service. A persistent patronage-monger
during the whole of his public career,
without a word in any public utterance
in favor of the principle and methods of
liie reform system, he has the hardihood
to take his place as complacently on the
reform platform as though had always
belonged there.
The two incidents in Mr. Blaine’s
career to which he refers as showing
reform sympathies arc his sole tion o'!
W cst Point cadets through a competi
tive examination, and his omission to
cause i removal of the office-holders in
his district after his election to Con
gress. With resrard to the first, it may
b ; said, without attributing good ac
tions to bad motives, that, in opening
the cadetship to competion, Mr. Blaine
avoided the necessity of deciding be
tween the friends of rival candidates,
and thus escaped making “one iugrate
and nine enemies” by his choice. In
refraining from urging removals, Mr.
Blaine was equally prudent. The office
holders of ms district were presumably
all Republicans when he entered Con
gress. Otherwise they would, no
doubt, have be n quickly called upon
to “walk the plank.” But to turn out
Republicans who had but recently been
ppointed would have stirred up a feei
ng which the adroit young politician
was too smart to array against himself.
The doctrine that “to the victors belong
the spoils” had not then come to be ap
plied ov the members of the majority
the Republican party to the
less fortunate members of the minority.
But when a vacancy occurred, or a term
expired, the future boss of JMaine took
precious good care to get his share of
lhe appointments. And throughout Ids
career as a leader and manager of his
party in Maine there has been no more
absolute political oligarchy in the United
States than that established by the pres
ent Republican candidate for the Presi
dency, who writes such glib phrases for
reform. Alike in Federal appointments
and State nominations, no Republican
who has dared to assert hi 3 independ
ence of .the Blaine machine, or to strike
out for himself with never so hon
orable an ambition, has stood any
chance for preferment. It was this
despotic rule which led to the revolt of
some of the best men and truest Repub
licans in Maine, who must now, whether
opposed to him or not, smile at his
characteristically “smart” assumption
of the mask of a reformer. There is
not an honest and intelligent Republican
in Maine who will give a feather’s
weight to Mr. Blaine’s reform senti
ments.
The candidate’s nebulous reference
to his recent advocacy of a fixed tenure
for executive officers was safer than a
direct citation of his words would have
been. lie dealt only with the tenure
and term, leaving the root of the evil—
appointment through favor or influence
—untouched. One passage in his letter
of acceptance indicates a willingness to
concede enough to the reformers to
take the minor offices out of politics,
and to extend the scope of the new
system to the consular and diplomatic
service. But in regard to this and all
other phases of the subject, Governor
Cleveland can say: “All that this
man promises I have done.” Governor
Cleveland has been always a reformer
in office. Mr. Blaine has been ahvays
a spoilsman in office. The people who
believe in reform very naturally prefer
to trust their cahse to one who has been
tried and found both faithful and cap
able, rather than to an eleventh-hour
convert, whose past actions square so
poorly with his present words, and
whose reputation for honesty and sin
cerity is very much below what that
of a President should be. Mr. Blaine’s
“me too” conies too late. He should
have “set up as a reformer” three
years ago, when he had a chance.—
Boston herald.
Mental I’enguitude.
When the Republican committee
called on Mr. Blaine to inform him ol
his nomination its spokesman doubtless
asked him what he had in his market
basket. We can easily imagine the
Plutoed Knight sticking his ’tongue in
his cheek and replying: “Lassoes to
catch meddlers.” He doubtless used
the statement figuratively, having no
purpose, at that early stage of the
game, to be more than half confidential.
The committee thereupon retired,
and Mr. Blaine, assisted by two editors
and a New Jersey politician, proceeded
to open his basket and assort the con
tents. The result has been telegra’ hed.
It is called Mr. Blaine’s letter of ac
cept auce. This letter is well worth
reading, forming as it does a sort ot
humorous contrast to the l’lumed
Knight’s career. From the Blaine point
of view it is a very insipid document.
The Maine statesman has suddenly
grown fat in the mind. He is grave
and dull. He is suddenly become seri
ous and sober. Fie is no longer the ar
rogrant and politician With
a policy distinctly American, but the
meek and lowly Republican Moses feel
iug around in the bulrushes for a baby
innocent enough to deceive and please
Colonel Pharoah Gould and other dig
nitaries of the gilded Republican court..
Mr. Blaine goes largely into figures
of the “five and six make twenty
seven” sort, showing conclusively bv
rules of his own invention and applica
tion that the Republican party is not
only responsible for the prosperity of
the country—for the increase of popu
lation and the increase of railroad
mileage—but responsible, also for mu
glorious climate and the highly es
teemed seasons which have proven so
fruitful to the sons and daughters of
toil. ' Mr. Blaine plainly leaves it to be
infcrreij that if the thieves that are now
engaged in robbing the people through
the medium of the Republican party
are turned out of power, there will be
ti’oublc and confusion in the land, and
it will be found that such men as Mr.
Evarts and Private Dalzell agree with
him.
Coming from Mr. Blaine, the letter
is a remarkable document. It is lack
ing in all those characteristics that
commended Mr. Blaine to the peculiar
elements that demanded his nomination
at Chicago. The “boom” is wanting.
There is no echo of the brass band;
the flim-flam of the kettle drum is not
heard. Indeed, after all that has been
said, the letter falls flat. It is incom
petent to the occasion. It lacks mettle
and vigor. Home one has been smooth
ing Mr. Blaine’s mental activity with a
jack-plane. The letter reads as if it
had passed through the dull medium of
a Philadelph a editor’s bra n. The
tartness and originality that ordinary
observers imagine they lind in Mr.
Blaine’s style have been rinsed and
squeezed out, and his letter is just dry
enough to emphasize a halting cam
pagn.
There is just one point in it ftilculated
to attract the attention of
Referring to the fact that immigration
from China has been prohibited, Mr.
Blaine suggests, in a sympathetic wav,
that the time may come when it will be
necessary for the Republican parly to
prohibit immigration from Europe. This
i s intended to be taken as an intimation
that Mr. Blaine is ready to head a cru
sade against the Irish and German im
migrants that are pouring into this
country by way of Castle Garden. This
is rather a queer position forthe Repub
lican candidate to take at a time when
his organs are engaged in an attempt
to win at least a portion of the Irish
vote. This curious statement probably
es aredthe attention of those who re
vised Mr. Blaine’s letter, for, however
much they may sympathise with such
a proposition to prevent Irish and Ger
man immigrants irom lauding on these
shores, they would hardly indorse it
publicly.
Altogether, the letter is weak, fiat
and uninteresting. Tne “boys” will
search it in vain for un opportunity to
start a “hurrah.”— Atlmta Constitu
tion, <
The rinmed Knights*
The “Plumed Knights” are in this
campaigu to take the place of the
“Tanner*” and “Wide-Awakes” of
former campaign*. At the Blaine and
Logan meeting in New York some days
ago they wore dark trousers and long
skirted blouses, with red collars, cuffs
and belts. On their heads were silver
helmets topped with feathers—though
it is not tine feathers that m ike fine
birds- and in their hands were torches
in the shape of battle axes.
This parade and pomp is all very
well as a spectacle; but it is to be ob
served that Mr. Blaine never fought as
a knight at all: never fought as a sol
dier; in fact lie sent a substitute. The
American veteran soldier will hardly
take as a compliment to himself this bit
of mediaeval humbug. ’
The American veteran wore neither
helmet nor shield; hurled no lance;
wielded no battle-ax. lie as often slept
under the stars as under shelter;
wrapped himself in his ragged blanket,
or was scantily protected by a shoddy
coat on which some patriotic contractor
had made one hundred per cent, profit
by cheating the Government. He was i
unable to protect his feet from mud a»d
water in the miserable shoes with paste
board soles which some stay-at-home
and substitute-buyer like Blaine had
furnished at a profit of one hundred
and fifty per cent. He was armed with
a rifle, on the sale of which to the Gov
ernment Mr. Blaine had by a Govern
ment contract already laid the founda
tion of his present millioiTs. He grimly
faced the enemy while Blaine was dodg
ing the draft and hiring another man to
fight, who, as it turned out, did not even
reach the field.
As this sort of “plumed knight” in
blouse and cap Mix Blaine might have
met, in dangerous places, the “Confed
erate brigadiers” with whom he after
wards tried to frighten the country.
But he waited until they quit firing bul
lets in liis direction. They came to
Congress without their fire arm«. They
were dressed in civilians’ clothes, and
sat peaceable, inoffensive and harmless
the House of Representatives. Then
lue knight rose up, put on his rhetor
ical helm t, donned his wordy armor
and hurled his “shining lance” full in
their faces.
It is quite in keeping with his peace
ful imitations of war, after the real war
was over, that the “plumed knights”
who represent his military career in
the House of Representatives should be
sharp soldiers, dressed in pasteboard
armor and accoutered with bogus weap
ons. They are honest only in resem
bling Mr. Blaine—pretending to be
what they are not; mere effigies of he
roes; mock knights in humbug armor,
playing soldier for the amusement of
spectators, as Blaine did in Congress.
There is another reason why Mr.
Blaine, as a “plumed knight.” is only a
pretense and a sham. The knights of
old were not only warriors bold, but
they were required to be genuine, hon
est and pure. There eon Id be no stain
upon their lives, no double-dealing of
falsehood or knavery in their careers.
There was to be nothing for explana
tion r evasion. All was to be above
bo . , clear and simple; as Tennyson
makes Sir Galahad say:
My good sword cleaves to the casque of men;
My right hand smiteth sure;
My strength is us the strength often,
Hecause my heart is pure.
It is well, therefore, that Mr. Blaine
is only a sham knight, and that hurling
his lance is only a figure of speech.
Otherwise it would go hard with him;
it would bo his casque that would be
cleft and his right hand smitten, sure.

Which Shall It Be, Demagogue or Re
former I
Blaine is a demagogue, Cleveland is
not. Blaine, from the time he entered
public life as a Maine Legislator until
now, has the methods of the
demagogue to keep himself in oflice.
Herhasfmade promises that he could
not fulfil, and, as the Republican can
didate for President, he would have the
people lay particular stress upon the
promises that he makes touching the
policy of his Administration. Cleve
land, on the other hand, uses no chaff.
He makes no promises, except the
promises that become an honest mtm.
He pledges himself to be President
of the people, not of a ring.# He
pledges himself to execute the laws, to
see justice measured out to all mla, to
arn out the rascals. He will ofoupy
the White House as a servant of the
people, not as a tyrant to crush liberty
or as a jobber to steal the people’s
money and enrich his friends.
The people have the records of the
two men before them. Blaine has been
an office-seeker ever sin e he was
twenty-five years old, and after getting
into office by demagogic methods he has
proceeded to make the office pay. lie
has grown rich o f positions of trust,
and if he were elected President he
would be surrounded by a gang o fas dis
reputable men as eve r disgraced a cur
rupt administration.
C’l veland, the Democrat, is not an
offiee-s eker. He was nom nated for
Mayor of Buffalo, but the Democrats
had to force the honor upon him. He
refused to act ept until his friends told
h m that it was his duty to do so. The
municipal governm nt needed reform
ing, and he was selected as the man
wt’o could accomplish the herculean
task. He was nominated for Governor
of New York. He did not seek the of
fice, but the office sought him. and as a
public-spirited citizen he was forced to
accept. W ith such a fine record as a
reformer, his name was brought prom
in ntlv forward as a strong candidate
for the Presidency. He did not seek the
high honor, but the Democrats, in con
vention assembled, thrust it upon him.
The Democrats ask Cleveland to ac
cept the highest honor within their gift
Blaine asked the Republicans to confer
their highest honor upon him; not only
that, he managed the convention
through sharp agents and forced the
nomination. Cleveland is the nominee
of the Democratic party. Blaine is the
nominee of his radical machine. The
methods employed by the two men are
In such striking contrast that the most
biased person must concede that one is
in accord with honesty, the other with
rascality. Honest, intelligent and pat
riotic men should have no hesitancy in
deciding between the two. W’hich shall
it be, Cleveland, the reformer, or Blaine,
the demagogue and political jobber?—

The Grand Surplus.
Mr. Maine is distinct and emphatic
on one subject, if he is tricky and eva
sive on others. He wants the surplus
revenue, rolling up at the average of
$100,000,000 yearly, to continue.
“>.o dollar has been was!ed,” cries
Mr. Blaine, and so he insists that the
accumulation of the great corruption
surplus shall not cease.
\\ hat is Mr. Blaine's excuse for hang
ing on to tiie surplus? “It is applied to
the reduction of the debt,” he says,
“and the consequent relief of the bur
den of taxation.”
So in order to pay rapidly and injuri
ously to the banking interests of the
country a debt which bears an interest
of three or three and one-half per cent.,
he insists on piling the “burden” of
taxation on the people of to-day heavi
ly enough to raise $100,000,000 a year
more than the Government needs!
In his defense of the surplus Mr.
Blaine stands alone. The Republicans
affect a desire to wipe it out. The
Tariff Commission was framed with
that pretended object. The Tariff bill
of the Keifer Congress was passed un
der the talse pretense that it would re
duce the surplus.
Mr. Blaine is therefore in conflict
with his party. More than that—he is
in direct conflict with the platform of
the convention which nominated him.
“The Republican party pledges it
self,” says the Chicago platform, “to
reduce the surplus, not by the vicious
and indiscriminate process of horizontal
reduction, but by such methods as will
relieve the taxpayer without injuring
the laborer or the great productive iu
terests of the country.”
Now cones Blaine, the candidate,
into the Held and repudiates the plat
form. The Democrats cry out against
the surplus, he says, but we will keep
it where it is. “Not a dollar of it is
wasted.”
The surplus is needed to carry out
the magnificent Blaine policy. It is the
capital of Jingoism, the hope of the
bu sneers, the life and soul of a Free
Lance Administrat or,
“Keep the surplus'” is the Blaine
shout. What will be the overburdened

KENNEDY’S FAVORITE REMEDY
Cures a Terrible Case of Gravel.
Nothing is more urgently needed than a reliable
medicine for Gravi’l, as the disease, seems on lite in
crease, and wc arc glnd to Bay that such Is I)R. DA
VID KENNEDY’S FAVORITE REMEDY, of linn
dout, N. Y. Wo put in evidence the following letter,
selected from many similar communications:
I’iTTofield, Mass., March, 1884.
Dr. David Kennedy:
Dear Sin: You have a right to know, and I doslro
the public to know lny experience with Gravel and
my remarkable recovery thru ugh tho use of your "rA
YORITE REMEDY.” t am a carpenter living In this
place, and there arc plenty of witnesses to the truth
of what I say. My first comparatively slight attack oj
Gravel was in the year 1878. It passed away, and I had
little more trouble until last ,1 uiy, 1883. One day when
at work in my shop I was suddenly seized witli a keen
and terrible pain in my left side. 1 consulted two
physicians at once. One said: “ 1 can do nothing for
you! Your case IxJncurabU-!” I was frightened and
went to t he second; who said little, but gave me a pre
scription. It did no good.
Then began a series of experiences the agony end
horror of which words can not depict. Think of it. 1
was sometimes taken in the s-r-et, and would fall,
writhing with agony, upon the sidewalk. It was death
in life. Thank Heaven, I then heard of “KENNE
DY’S FAVORITE REMEDY,” through Mr. P. P
Cooley. I had not used half a bottle when I passe*
three stones In succession, one of which was nearly
one-half an inch long. 1 persevered with the modi
cine, the symptoms gradually abated, and I have hail
no more trouble since. lam well, Utankß to you and
• FAVORITE REMEDY.”
Y r ours most gratefully,
JAMES D. KENNEDY.

then took Sarsaparlllas, etc. All these Barsaparllla

worse, as it drove the poison farther Into my system.
