The Emmet Celebration-The Emmet
centenary celebration in Dublin was almost
fiasco, for reasons which, however preg-

telligible to the geneeal public. The Irish
Nationalists were not in accord as to the
prepriety OF such celebration, and the
result was that the procession was remark
able for the absence of several of the
extreme Nationalist bodies, such as the '98

that campaign are now being made,
How and upon what issues the opponents
of the Democracy shall go to the country
for voting support is rather important
! question. Upon this subject at the recent
meeting took substantially the following
grounds: | expressly stated it to be my
opinion that it would be better to affirm
Republican doctrines and denounce the
crimes of the enemy than it would to ar
raign the administration for any acts com,
that the party should in terms disavow the
| course OF the administration toward Louisi
ana and South Carolina, but that we ought
to affirm the righteousness and constitution
ality of the reconstruction policy of tho
party, and to insist that its failure was due
to the defiance of law by Northern Demo
Gratis, and not to the wickedncss of South
ern Republicans; that those who had sus
tained the laws were better and worthic
than those who had rebellct
against and trampled them undc
foot In conclusion he alludes to the ad
ninistration as follows:
'This Administration will only be regard
ed as Republican in my Judgment upon tn
understanding that the presence of Nh
Evarts in the Cabinet is not at an endorse

, that General Dnvens was not appointed AT

for relief. About two months ago fourteen
cases of brandy were received at the Duluth
custom house consigned to Frank Smith, a
druggist, who has neither wholesale or retail
license to sell liquor, and who, by the way,
was one of the first to fall into the ranks
when our beloved sister Foster made her
appearance in Duluth.
This liquor was ordered by Mr.. Bywater,
the deputy collector, as he claims, for par
ties that desired him to get it for them.
