IRISH REPUBLICANS.

The Irishmen are coming out for
Grant and Colfax in large numbers in
Chicago. A strong Irish Republican
club has been formed, which Mr.. Scan
lon, the well known Fenian, addressed
as follows:
They wished itsdistinctly known that
the members of this club withdrew
themselves entirely from the imputa-
ton cast upon the Irish people that they
always acted with the Democratic par
ty. They wished it distinctly under
stood that they were ON the side Of the
right, and would no longer even coun-
tenance the doings of the Democratic
party, and so had withdrawn themselves
from the bulk of their countrymen, and
proposed to stand out boldly in favor
of justice to all nifen. The Democrats
of Chicago Were resting in fancied Sc
curity as TO the Irish vote next Novem-
| Der, but when that time comes they will
find much to their surprise that the
Irish had been wheedled and deceived
long enough, and had taken the matter
III their own hands, determined to right
it. Mr.. Scanlon then spoke of the man
ner in which the Irish had been treated
by the Democsatic party, and briefly
reviewed the issues as presented iii the
present political contest, drawing the
conclusion that it was the interest of
| the Irish people in America to connect
themselves with the Republican party.
