IL the great Convention Of Irish
citizens Of this country, in session in
Philadelphia last week, there we're
from one thousand to twelve hundred
present, representing the best intellect
aud highest patriotism of the Celtic
race, Of all the states. 1t was truly n
great body in which wise councils pre-.
vailed, and the proceeding cannot iai!
to have a commanding influence for
good on the future of Ireland. There
was no sympathy with the dynamite
policy, or encouragement for assassi-
nation given in the proceeding. Its
object seemed to be TO consolidate the
intelligent workers of America with
the intelligent workers in Ireland un.
der the lead of Parnell into one homo.
genious organization, in fair, open and
manly effort TO free Ireland from op.
preston and wrong, and to that end
the Convention il is believed was q
grand success.

The Gold Shoulder.

Secretary Folger couldn't see 1t.
A delegation of colored Republicans
the other day called upon Secretary
Folger to solicit the appointment of
one of their race to an important posi-
ton in his department, but were
promptly, ifnot dscouteously, inform
ed that their request would not be
complied wth-that their claims we're
unreasonable, alleging that the coIored
men had more than their proportion
of employees in the departments. The
Secretary no doubt counted in the
boot black positions of the colored
race in his estimate. But this was not
what the delegation was after. 1t was
respectable representation these color
ed gentlemen were in pursuit Of and to
which they have Just claims upon the
Republican party, and not the scullion
positions awarded them. They COM
pose an important element IN the po-
litical strength ofthe republican party,
and as they have as intelligen. and
competent men among them as the
average Republican bummers who are
employed, there is no excuse for their
prescription. Let the colorcd man de-
mand his rights rs a citizen Of his par
ty representatives, or try another par

plicatiOns of sixteen officials who mad becoms

only one of the lot who is nota "twentyyears man,,
and he is also the only one who has sued for and
recovered back pay under the Ryan decision. Like

wears His counsel may contest his retirement on
the ground that he ought TO receive at least $500:
