The riots in Moo York affected me
terribly. Viewed from any standpoint,
the occurrence wuz deplorable. Two
hundred Dlmocrats shot down by the
brootal military, who will never rally to
the polls agin, and will never agin ra-
peat their votes, no matter how high
the price. And all this becoz them noble.

There is ships on the sea bringin more
Irishmen, who kin be made voters in

some NV EN- bosses and buggies that
they may get around to the polls faster,
but that will be all.

And when | got paper an read Nv the
riots in Moo York, a lite beamed unto
me. Ez the Catholic Irisemen don't like
the orange color, on the 18th of July,
wonder that the three we hey contented
themselves with merely heavin rocks at
US. 1t is not to be expected that they
will allow any demonstrshen which
hurts their feeling to be made without
an attempt to suppress it. The ardent
son NV Erin is an impulsive preacher
who delite in hevin his own Gay. They
hev taken charge of the government of
the city of Moo York, and they ought
not to be interfered with, nor will they
they be.
