Or The following article was handed us
last evening by couple Of German Demo-
Ecrate forpubilaaticn: #
Mr. sAsDERss "a -
\ Is:an .artica of yestetdas's Enquirer the
fGeffaans are'chafged that, eln Withholding
thei support tom lhe neminst ed Demo- rat
ic~ ticket, they would violate their plighted
faith. -.
Allow me to ask you, first oil all-who
are the violators! Men who abuse the faith
of the people in order to- attain their selfish
ends and objects, without reference 10 the
veal or wee Of the peopl or men who OPP
pose such miscondnct and iabuses1 1t isevi-
dent that the meeting called to make nom
ination, was a made up coucern. The meet.
ing was called for on sMond ay morning, a
day on which no German paperais issued -
The intention of the meeting purported to
be5a fair nomination of one of the candidates.
to which nominated Candidate all the votes
would thereby be secured on the day Of cleo
ton. If such really was the intention, then
it was nee essary to give notice to all per-,
sons interested, to the German .spe aking cit
liens as.well as to the citizens of the Eaglish
tongue This was the unavoidable duty Of
honor of those by whom the call for the
meeting originated. But this duty was not
fulfilled, and only by the greatest exer.ions
of several German speaking citizens.i it was
possible to let few Germans know that
there was such ameeting to be held.
You say, Gas usual at all conventions,
some persons had toibe disappointed" You
seem to be ignorant Of the fact that the Ger
mans in general are not disapp ointed about
the nomination of Mr.. O'Neil, but simply
about The manner in which. sueh has been
done. You say to oppose a nomination is
simply to adopt the hotto of "rue or ruin. -
Let me ask you whether the dictations of a
certain clique are anything else than an at
tempt TO rulel You say "if tic Germans
oppose this nomins tlon, such. would be the
beginning of split in the Democratic party,
and the terrible consequences will rest Upon
the few self-willed, rule or ruin, red republic
an Germans. You had better speak
about things which you understand or are
able to comprehend, and advise you TO in
form yourse what red republicanism is, al nj
whete and how it originated, before you
again speak about il. In your ignorance
you pay the German Red Repub icans-a
you call them-unintentionally the compl-
ment of being "self wlled." You could not
have found better denomination for them
and this is just exactly the very point on
which the widest difference between them
and such as you lays. They are "seli-willed
and you are the slave OF Know Nothing
| like, dark lantern, midnight clique. Yor
further say they have rights, and no one o.
the Democratic party will interfere witt
them. But we demand il as one of the rights
of the Democratic party that those mer
should vote the Democratic nominated tick
Iet." This is truly wonderfully consistent
dogma. The Germans have their rights!-
This you can't deny nor even try to dispute
But Notwithstanding such rights, you DICTATE
to, and DEMAND of the Germahs, that they
should vote ticket which they are not, moi
could BY any possibility be satieffed. wlth.--
And all this simply because they are Demo
Gratis Let me Il you that the majority Of
the Germans are not servile enough to sub
nit to the dctations of a clique. That they
will not bow to dictations, be tie debating
clique Democrats or anything else. They
are "self-willed," and they are proud of it,
If your boosted OF Democracy permits you &c
submit to, and lend a helping hand in such
vile dctations, you may do SO, but itmay be
as well to assure you, that but very few Ger
mans will be mean enough to assist you in
such vile actions. ~ & AMEN.
