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 lican. 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. —Detroit Free Press. 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?— JiiQhmond (To. ) itale* POLITICAL ITEMS. ——lt pains us to call attention totlio fact that the Irishmen who are bolting the Democratic ticket invariably drop their h’s.— Cincinnati Enquirer. that Blaine did not write his letter him self. This will not do. Mr. Blaine will not be permitted to shift the re sponsibility. A young woman, on being asked how her father was going to vote, re plied that she didn’t know. This gives Blaine a clear lead oi at least 90,0u0 in Massachusetts. ——lt is announced with considera ble flourish that Harriet Beecher Stowe and her husband are for Blaine and Logan. Sure enough. We had forgot ten about Harriet and “ hubby.” A hard-workingman fell down on a banana-skin last week, and has since been unable to do any labor; which proves conclusively that the votes of the workingmen will all be thrown for Blaine. We have 'analyzed Mr. Blaine’s letter cf acceptance, and our candid judgment is that it does not begin to compare in directness and perspicuity with the Mulligan letters. — Cincinnati Enquirer. The Republicans wou’d like the Democrats to get into a tight on the tariff, but the Democrats do not mean to oblige them. Administrative reform is the issue, and it will be kept so.— Exchange. —The W estVirgin'a Democrats smilo at the boast of the Blaine men that they will car y that State. “There isn’t enough money in the United States Treasury to do it,” they proudly say. — The Argus. grateful heart and a deep sense of its responsibilities,” writes General Logan, “and if elected shall endeavor to dis charge the duties of the otlice to the best of my ability.” Logan will not be ob iged to strain himse'f. The letters of Blaine and Logan have been so disappointing that the pa pers are beginning to advise Cleveland and Hendricks to be brief. Let ’em go. They have the right-side of the question. They can meet the require ment § of the occasion if they only stick to administrative reform. —The studious refusal of the Dem ocracy and the Independents to rise to the Blaine bait of the tariff alarms the Star-route managers. The Philadelphia Press solemnly announces that it will make the tariff the issue, if it has to take both sides itself. It does so uncon sciously on most questions. —Albany Argus. A lady remarked, the other day, that Mr. Blaine was quite agood-lokipg man, if he was anything like his pict ure. This is regarded as especially significant, inasm .eh as the lady has been stone bliSd for the last twenty years, and shows conclusively that he will carry all the doubtful States.—Bos ton Herald. The Democratic National Con vention closed with the hymn “Amer ica,” of which the words .begin: • “ My country ’lis of thee. Sweet land of liberty. Of thee I sing-.’’ The Republican National Convention, Blaine being the nominee, appropri ly closed with the tune entitled “The Mulligan Guards.” —Albany Argus. A laboring gentleman, apparent ly of Irish extraction, when asked who he should vote for, said his “ corn haint done nuthin’, and his cowcum bers are yaller’s a saffun bag.” The widespread unrest existing amongst the agricultural classes is an evidence ot the injury that would be entailed by Democratic domination. —Boston Post. ■ A very singular thing happened on a horse-car recently. A gentleman thought to canvass the occupants as to their Presidential preferences. He had taken the votes of two old ladies, and then inquired of the only male rider beside himself: “ Who are you going to vote for my friend?” when the un sympathetic individual replied: “Go to thunder.” It is clear from this inci dent that Mr. Blaine’s majority in Mas sachusetts can not be less than 70,090. —Boston Pest. 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 people’s reply?—.V.

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.
