The Northeastern Chronicle in its issue
of last week finds fault with the nomina-
tons made by the late Democratic state
convention. 1t sends up q bitter wall be-
cause no Irishmen are on the ticket, AID
complains of the Democratic party be-
cause it does not do more justice to tina.

article was paid for by the Republican
state committee or not, but it reads much
like paid article, and the Republican
papers throughout the state are republish-
ing the article as campaign document to
VIII Irish votes. Now the knave or fool who
wrote that article must be very blind or
unwilling to see the truth. Let Us take
for instance Ramsey county, and
the city of st. Paul, the sheriff
clerk of court, probate judge,
and district attorney, and nearly all their
deputies are Irishmen or Of Irish descent.
The mayor, city clerk, chief of police,

central committee has fair number of
celtic names, and nearly every Democratic
county in the state has just proportion

much abused race has always had an equal
share of places. Did the editor of the
Chronicle ever hear of the names OF Ker-

Did he ever hear of Gen. Shields, the
statesman and soldier, who was sent to
the United States senate by two different
Democratic legislatures in two different
states, and who was appointed by Demo
cratic governor from the third state to
fill a vacancy. Let the editor of the
Chronicle be careful about advising Irish
voters to bolt the ticket of the only party
that ever did full justice to his nationality;
the party that made it possible for his
countrymen to worship according to the
dictates of their conscience. Let him be-

He does not know that Minnesota has been
