say 10 was one OF ithe most elo'
quent speeches We have lis
tened to during the campaign
1t was really refreshing TO hear
aspeech thatwas void of green
backs, thenegro and other side
shows, of the campaign, and
hear an honest, earnest advo-
cate of true democracy plead
ing for freedom everywhere,
and especially to the land that
gave him birth. .Ir edi sa
His exposure of the perfidy
an1 double dealing of the So
called Democratic party, and
their universal bad faith to his
countrymen, and especially the
Fenians, by one who himself
not only stands in the front
ranks of Fenians, but of Irish
Americans, was an arraignment
before which that base party,
sooner or later, is bound to fall.
We feel that his efforts in our
behalf have done us good; that
he has placed many stubborn
facts of American politics be-
fore his countrymen in such a
manner as to set them to think
ing, and we feel that no true
lrishman will vote without Sc
riously pondering the questions
he put to them. Not only has
he done this, but he has
aroused our American citizens
to the wrongs and expressions
of Ireland, and we believe that
the prayer of every honest.
hearted, man who listened to
him was that Jimmy Fitzgerald
might live to see the green flag
of Erin represent one of the
freest and most prosperous
Republics of the earth. .r.
We can not close this article
without referring to the treat.
ment Mr.. Fitzgerald has re-
ceived at the hands Of the Dem.
ocratic leaders. They sought to
break down what influence he
might have by basely belying
his personal character. First,
was the letter of one "John Fo-
ganty, a Fenian and Irishman,
corner of Sixth and Central Av-
enue, Cincinnati" in the Dem
ocratic Enquirer from the Gin
cinnati Enquirer. Mr.. Fitz-
gerald's attention was called to
this, and he informed his hear
ers that his friends visited the
place indicated as the residence
of "John; "thata careful search
ofFenian rolls was made by the
officers and of the books Of the
Financial Secretary, but no
"John Fogarty" was to be found.
a stateme ent to this effect by
the officers, the Enquirer basely
refused to publish. Again, a
rumor was started that Mr.. Fitz-
gerald had misappropriatef|
funds belonging to the Fenians.
Of this, Mr.. F. knew nothing,
but he did not fail to tell
where a large. amount of Fe-
nian funds nov are-in the
hands of August Belmont, chair
man of the Democratic Nation
al Executive Committee, who
was hired to negotiate their
bonds, and who betrayed the
trust imposed in him and re-
fused to give up the money be-
cause the bonds were captured
by English spies, and he might
thereby offend the English gov
ernment. But if Mr.. Fitzger-
AIDS character was not above
reproach this calumny was fully
met by a Fenian and Democrat
who was asked about it. The
reply was, IT is a lie. Jimmy
Fitzgerald Isl an honest man,
and his whole heart is in the
cause of Irish liberty So
much for that, 1t only shows

Connecticut Tool
Republican Gains!

We clip the following dis
patch with regard 10 the Con.
necticut election:
... HARTFORD, October 6.
Official returns from las
towns tootS up as follows: Re
publican, SO; Democratic, 50;
divided 6. OF these the Re
publlcans gain 10, and the
Democrats 3, from last year.-
Of the towns that were wholly
Republican last year one is di-
vided this year. Of those
which were wholly Democratic
five are divided. CRANKY gives
"a Republican gain; Sunbury,
43; Pennington, So; Enfield,
25; Huntington, Is; Bethel, Is;
Rldgefield, 80; Kellingly, 25O.
Many other towns show pro-
portionate Republican gainns.
There are 13 towns yet to hear
from. s.-..
New Haven has elected the
Democratic ticket by 917 ma-
jority, against 2,258 last sprina
a Democratic loss OF 1886
This loss will Offset all Demo
cratic gains made thus far, and
leave a margin. The towns
thus far heard from show con-
siderable Republican gains.
EVERY greenback dollar is
discounted thirty cents, and
the so-called Democrats of, the
west are anxious to have the
volume of the currency in
creased, SO that they may be
still further discounted. Do
you remember, year or two
since, when you paid seventy
five cents fora pound of coffee?
That was because there was a
discount of seventy cents on
one dollar in greenbacks. The
Democrats are anxious to again
have your money discounted
at that rate, which must inevi-
tably raise coffee and other
things to war prices. |
