''IrNITFD IRIsHMEN OF AMERICA"
An exceptional interest attaches to u
of Irishmen which was held
in this city during all OF last week.
Among these Irish Patriots were an
unusually large number of men of char
acter, ability and intelligence. They
met to discuss the political needs of Ire
land and to formulate policy for her
from the misrule which OPP
presses her unhappy people. The par
Elephants in convention numbered as
high as 150. and the convention was rem
dered doubly interesting by the arrival
of two delegates from Ireland-fine
looking men about 30yearS of age--whOse
were more like aristocTatic
English travellers than representatives
of the land of the oppressed. To-day
mass meeting of ITishmen will be held
in the Broad Street Park, where the ac-
ton of the body Will be admitted for APP
proval. The names of the two delegates
from Ireland are not to be made public
IA precaution which is necessary from
the fact that they can be made to answer
in the old country for any opinions eX-
pressed on this side of the herring
pond.
THE NATIONAL CHAIRMAN.
The Cincinnati Enquirer says that
Senator VIM. ~ Wallace possesses all
the qualities essential for the Chairman
ship of the Democratic National Com
mittee, and strongly urges him for that
position. The Presidential candidate
being a Pennsylvania, and Senator
Wallace having largely contributed to
HancOck's nomination, 1t thinks that
the members of the committee should
consider these things and make Wallace
their chairman. The Enquirer says
Being a Senator from General HancOcks
State, being his warm personal friend, being
the tenacious and foremost advocate of his
nomination, Senator Wallace Is the logical
chairman of the committee and manager OF
the campaign.
If Senator Wallace is made Chairman
of the National Committee, Hancock
will carry Pennsylvania.
COST OF THE PRESIDENTIAL BOOM AT
CINCINNATI.
In a perusal of the Philadelphia Re
cords ''chips' on the proceedings of the
Cincinnati convention, a great contrast
is found in the expenses of the different
boOmS. At some of the boom headquaT
ters champagne flowed in rivers, and 10
one who had the run OF such quarters
learned The taste of the eXecrable cholera
mOrbuS mixture which flows in front o.
the Queen City of the West. The Til
den boom was the most extensive one.
1t had branch bOOms at all the best no.
tells in the city, where impecuniOus del
egates of variable dispositions were quar-
tered at the boom 'SeXpenSe so as to hold
them securely. This boom cost some
body's 'bar'l" over $50, 900 The Han
cock boom bill for lemonade and other
necessaTieS which enter into a great eX-
citement like a Presidential battle, un-
der the frugal management of Gen. st.
Clair MulhOlland only cost $500. The
Bayard boom, at the parlors of the st.
Nicholas, run by August Belmont and
Schell, who had plenty of money of their
own to spend, drafted at least =, 900.
Payne'S BOOM which was a very painful
one, cost Payne and son many thousand
dollars. The Morrison. Thurman, EW-
ing, English, Hendricks and LOWiand
bOOms were not much-merely specs on
the bOOm'S face-there costs not being
more than enough to give the Immediate
friends of each Il good time. | forgot in
speaking of the PAYNE boom to say that
il was a kind of side show TO The Tilden
boom, and both accounts should he Teck-
Oucd in the same ledger The Randall
boom is set down as being a rather mel
aucholy affair. From the proportions it
is represented to have assumed, its cost
was supposed TO have not been much
! more than SL.SIf. The Records Con
vention Chips descriptive Of the differ
ent Presidential! bOOms at Cincinnati, are
notes Of considerable interest.
A SOLEMN RATIFICATION.
With soIcmuity that befitted fu-
neral. the National Union League OF
this city dismissed its smiles and cheers
and ratified the nomination of its Presi-
Dental candidate, whom not a bakers
dozen of tho members would have com.
mended to the Chicago convention. It Is
said the features of the members solemn
ly reflected the sOlemnity of the ratifica.
tiOn OF a man whose nomination they
I honestly regarded as a Dlunder. The
ratification OF the daTk-hOrSe President
ial candidate was a work of great solem.
nifty.
