to vote instead OF Irish aud Dutch.-
How terrible in love it is with the
Irish just now! II has forgotten how
il used to abuse them last fuii before
the election because they would NJ I
vote for the Constitutional Amend
ment, aud give the Niger liberty to
come into this State to undcrwork the
foreigners and drive them of the
railroads aud othor places where they
work. Who ever before heard OF a

SpeIlkrr falling in love with the for

We do print our paper in
McArth1r, "opposite llulberrs
stable" and have not been com

get one half Of our papeE print
ed in Milwaukee, or any other
lake shore town, When we
do leave our county to get our
paper printed, in order to com,
pete with other papers in size
and appearance, we will never
have the brass to ask the pe0-
pie to sustain q "home" paper.
But we never called the
Irish and Dutch all kinds Of
names, and said negroes should
vote instead of them. We ney-
er abused thom, nor any other
race OF people. We enjoy no
political privilege ourselves
that we are not willing and anX-
ious to accord TO every man in
tho United States whe has not
forfeited his rights by crime, be
he native or foreign, rich or
poor; and we challenge the En-.
quirer to produce one word
from the files OF the Record in
which We have attempted TO
deprive any man of any right

ers were "mcancr than the big,
blubber-lipped niggers.' AS
to "masters,' we are not in the
condition Of our ncighbor; we
own tho Record, "inside" and
'outside," and run it just ex,
actly to suit ourselves.
But the trouble with the En-.
quirer is that they know that
every word f.ours about the
ungentlemanly slaughter of
Pat. Kecle in their Convention,
because he was an lriShman
was true, and they expect to
turn the eye OF the public from
the facts by making personal
attack on us. They do not even
attempt to deny the facts as
stated by US. We say it, and
past events prove it, that the
Democratic party Invariably
slaughters every lrislman who
presents his name to their Con
yeDtions. Last week we called
attention TO a similar instance
in Jackson county. This week
We notice that the Irishmen OF
COlunlbus attended The Demo.
cratic Convention, and Sue
ceeded in getting a number Of
their countrymen on the tick.
ct; the old sore-hcads Of the
party, who have been elected
by Ilish votes for years past,
boltcd the nominations, and
started what they call an 'Inde-
pendent Democratic Ticket.
These are the straws that show
which way the wind blows.r--
The Irish are good enough to
vote the Democratic ticket,
but yOn never treat them with
even common decency when
they present the name Of one
of their number for office.
