/ great party rules the Elation--a party
that loves the smiling face of the sons
and daughters of Erin; and. that. IN
order to be a freeman, he must aIIy
himself with this party. And. In his
simplicity he believes it, and forth
with his application for citizenshiDris
recorded, He. settles down among his
friends, attends. the political party to
| which he has attached himself. = He
enters a spacious hall and, hears a
bloated office seeker ,haranguing. the
faithful. The policy of the Republicans
and all the, issues of the sday,3are de-
bounced as monstrous. The Irish are
ilauded for their fidelity to the party.

to begtrue to the party He goes home
to his wife and little ones and tells,
them what good man that was. and
what he would do for the. Irish, &c.
bAll this Che poor dafpes sWolloaD. The
day OF nomination comes. Three or
four of the pillars meet in IA, back
room and make up the ticket for the
coming election. One timid individu-
al suggests a prominent place on the
ticket for the Irish.q He is met with

z says, TO hell with the Irish they,
will vote the ticket any way. !, We will
give this Office to a German; this to

Republican this to another German 81
this to another Know NOTHING, and
so on until they get to the tail end,
when some hungry freshman is pre-
sented with an Office that costs him a
fortune to acquire. The honest, Irish
voter cannot see why the Irish are, ]
not better represented on the
ticket,g but1l he is told it is
In him to make such In

after yeer. Thus the Irish people are
lnsuited by their professed friends.
But there is mend to all this. not
wlthstanding theeffofts ofthe ghicagod
Times and itsIc correspondence Indeed, /
the Times goes so far as to say that |
those who. will not vote the ticket |
are traitors to tEeir country, their /
