To the Editor OF the Globe
ST.. PAUL, Nov. 3.-For centuries,
might almost say from time immemorial,
the greatest curse, and most obstinate en-
emy the Milssian race has had to contend
with has been the miserable internal dis
sensions and foolish petty jealousies which
have Invariably cropped up at any great
crisis of Ireland's fortunes. Not content
with fighting and working against the
common enemy, Britain and her monarchy,
Irishmen have ever turned harmony and Ill
innate success into diecord and sure defeat
by some miserably small outburst in their
own ranks. This striving obstinacy and
reckless disregard of their own true inter
est il was that made the damnsble role of
| 'informer' an active factor in Irish
affairs, since this time when Henry
II took advantage Of the petty
isslouaies of The various chieftains to be-
gin the subjuoation of Erin, to our own
days, when miserable miscrsants of the
Carey stamp have tried co defeat all good
and noble efforts to achieve Irelend's lib
GRAFTON from the yoke OF thorns in which
Britain has long held her.
This trait of the Irish character, so
grand ard true otherwise, has been ex-
hibi.ed wherever they have roamed; and
Just at present the columns CT the GLOBE
are made the scene OF as bitter fsud of
Irish disuniOA as have read in many a
day. Mr.. Morrissey Or Mr.. MaoCarthy I
do not know, any more than can be gath
cred from their ut5ersnces in this journal;
but judging from the episeful shots of
both parties they "don't csre whether
school keeps or not" in the Irish part of
the community. go long. SO they may
play The old Irish tune of ''Donnybrook
Far" Sons ore Is surely TO btame,b but an
Irishman who is truly concerned for the
best interests of his race, should have the
patience Vi good sense to smother his
personal feelings for The general good.
The roy seems 10 have started On &C.
count of Mr.. MavCar:hy withdrawing
froIa the Democratic party and then at
TEN pting To pull others after him. Well,
misery loves com pany, It's said, and why
should Mr.. NJ. De An exception. The other
parties 10 the scheme have raised howl
right away, and kicked" against being
bargained off without Shy your leave" The
object aimed at was hardly worth the
power expended. Men who desert their
flag at critical moment to crafty selfish
spleen can we'll be spared from any party.
The present is critical time fer Minneso-
to Dem ocracy--the farming point in the
long lane of Republican misruie--and it
behooves every voters who prizes per-
soDai liberty and pura institutions to
DC his whole duty faithfully and well.
Tho Democratic party deserves well Of all
Irishmen irrespective Of creed or faction
. for the sake OF common cause lose
these two unucky words from Irish
afsirs---and every Irish voter ought to
stand manfully up by the ride of the Ger
man, Norwegian or Scandinavian Demo
crat and vote through ticket" to Dom
ocratio gubernatorial mansion. 1t only
needs one united effort to send Republic
anism in Minnesota headlong from its
lettering pedestal. Hide thess despioa-
BILE personal brawls where they never will
see the light of day and show your best
side to the people who are eterGslly harp
ing on the too true phrase that ''the Irish
are always quarreliDg an ong themselves.' -
Show respect for and confidence in your
| own convictions and othars will do the
1
| effort and failed.
The scoring administered to MIR.
MacCarthy in the GLOBE OF Friday sounds
| the death note of the FIRST dsssr,er from the
ranks. Considering the provocation
given. Mr.Morrissey was certainly justified
in thus vigorously hitting back, but it
would be unlike Irishmen to kick man
when he is down: II the captain is not
down now, in the COED opinion Of all Irish
Democrats, he certainly will be on We'd
pesday next. Then he will realize the fail
ure of his sunfeasIble little scheme to sell
the Irish vote to the party that has ever
been inimical to Irish progrsss. have net
resided long in Minnesota, buslong enough
TO catch the drift of affairs, and 1 know
the proper thing for me and every Irish
( man or lrIsh-Aperican to do is to vote
straight Democrat" next Tuesday.
