The Irish World, one of the lead.
ing papers heretofore supporting the
Democratic party, is against Cleve-
land this campaign, and is doing a
good deal 10 make the situation plain
to all its readers. 4 recent number
represents Cleveland sitting at his
governors desk writing veto. a
friend named English FREQ Trade
stands a little in the background and
cloats over the situation of affairs; a
workingman with petition in his
hand stands at the door. while the
governors obsequious lackey says to
him: "The Governor is now busily
engaged writing his veto Of your
last petition, and he cannot see you.
Call around carly in November and
he will be happy TO receive your
favor" The workingmsn evidently
thinks that the official who will not
resd his petition will not get his vote.

"THREE cheers for" Higgins, "he
was witty last week but hold on,
come to think of it," we cannot cheer
very Justify, for the wit consisted
merely in writing a mans name with
small letters, thus, patrick ford" and
a man is not entitled to much praise
for "wit" so close fetched. The tai
ented and influential editor of the
Irish HOrld has quite a number OF
admirers even in this county, and
will probably survive the ordeal OF
having his name spelled with small

A ELL of discovery has been filed
by Sh9maker's attorneys in the
Blaine-Sentinei libel suit. This bill
when properly understood means
that the defendent has a good defense
Oh his plea of justification, but is not
in possession of the facts, and unless
by some just and equitable ruling of
the court he can compel MIR. Blaine to
furnish him all the facts, the fatal
calamity will happen the case that
further proceedings will be per-
petually stayed and restrained. The
bill was not flied until a late hour,
and court adjourned without taking
action. Since writing the above, the
dsilies bring Mr.. Blsine's answers to
the several ques,iOns, being virtually
the same facts as set forth i'm the

About the only ''rcason" ;be Blaine
Irishmen give for their apOstscy to
the democratic party is that HaSper's
Weekly, George William Curtis and q
few other old enemies have come over
to the democrats. We read a short
time ago that several prominent Eng.
lishmen had joined the Catholic
church. 1t is in order now for these
Celtic Blaineites to discard their old
religion. Why adhere to a church
that will admi. an old enemy into its
folG.--DemOcrdt Sept. 18Th.
That the above is the only reason
given by "the Blaine Irishmen for
their apostscy to the Democratic
party" or "about the only reason" is
pure libe! and comes either from the
want Of better material, or the want of
sense enough to use it. The reasons
have been given, many of them, and
plain enough ). but this disciple Of
darkness refuses to understand them.
What is the width of a mans head,
anyway, who thinks that a refusal to
vote for a candidate, whose nomina-
tion is blot on his party, is apostacy
to that party? Is a refusal to follow
any line, laid down by a mans party,
apostacy, or is it the intelligent exer-
else of the right of free American
citizenship? That is just what is the
matter with the Democratic party and
the Irish vote; they have whipped i,
in for SO many years that they have
forgotten that perhaps am lrishman
might have an idea of his own. The
absolute control of the Irish vote by
the Democratic leaders and small fry
plotters, although little smoother, is
not much better than the Anglo-Saxon
control of our Celtic brethren in
Ireland.
The present break of the Irish vote
towards indepen tent voting, based
upon their own convictions, is one of
the best signs of the times for the
future of Irishmen in America, let the
present motive or the result of this
election be what il may.
And several ':promincnt English
men" have Joined the Catholic church!
Well, well! We had heard of several
"prominent Englishmeu' being in the
Catholic church long time ago; but,
Mr.. Democrat, stop throwing dust
and get down to business. There is u
great difference between discarding
ones religion and diScarding an un-
worthy apostle Of that religion. 1t
must be your patent discovery that
it is apOstacy to IA church TO cry down
priest OF tina: church. il he happened
to be fraud. We are Blaincites be-
cause we believe that Cleveland has
neither the sentiment, character. cour-
age nor ability to represent the true
Democracy of this great nation.
Another libel is that the Republican
party is the old Know Nothing party,
when the fact is that there was never
an electoral vote cast for q Know
Nothing candidate for president in
northern statc--all were from the
southern or slave states, the portion
of this country that was solid for
human slavery and solid for Bourbon
democracy.
The Democrat would much oblige
the writer by showing wherein the
democratic party has earned the re-
gard of Irishmen, or why it is that
party of the dark ages claims to be
tho special friend of the Irishman.
