And speaking, of political matte

And speaking of political matters,
says New York correspondent, |
wish every Republican in the United
States could see the ".Suaday Demo-
crat," paper which Tilden's money
supports, and which is the organ of
the Irish end Of the party. To make
sure of the support Of the Irish Demo
Gratis, it has portrait Of Herman the
nominator of Tilden, right over a
prominent portrait of Tilden, with
this inscription, "a Catholic states
man, Senator Herman, the nominator
OF Gov. Tilden." This is a bid for
the support of the Catholicism
assurance to them that Tilden is
fairly in their hands, and that, in the
event of his election, they will, in
national matters, have the same con-
sideration that they have always had
from him in the other positions he
has filled. Without the Irish
Catholic vote in this city, the Demo
ocracy is nothing; to get it the
Catholic church must be conciliated
in the most substantial manner.
The gorgeous cathedrals, churches,
monasteries, and converts, all on
ground which Democratic politicians
filched from the city for them, and
which are more than half supported
by grants from the public treasury,
attest the price the Democracy has
paid for their votes.
