Night-0fficers Elected

At large and enthusiastic meeting of our
leading Irish fellow citizens held last night in
this city, Blaine and Logan club was organized,
and the following officers elected: Captain G.
H. O'Brien, president; James McN[ullen, vice
president and Michael w. Toomey, secretary
Also, an executive committee of seven was
chosen, and the following declaration of prinei-
pies adopted
We declare intention to cast votes for
Blaine and Logan and deem it proper to state the
sons which influence our action.
l. James g. Blaine and John A. Logan are men of
the people, who have risen from the humblest places
to the highest by force of intellect and manly courage
and who have, in all their public and private acts
manifested devotion the masses of the people of
whose rights they have always been Jealous and cour
geous defenders They are tolerant men, recognizing
the rights of all citizens however humble their posi-
ton and whatever their race and religion may be.
2 James q. Blaine is emnently the representative
of American manhood and dignity and on the floors
of Congress and at the hustings has fearlessy main
tanned the honor of the nation and has manfuly stood
for the rights of all citizens whether native
adopted, and in all places has demanded that the
rights of these citizens sa everywhere be respected
The past conduct of Mr. Blaine sure guaranty that
he will do all that great to advance the
honor and glory of our country and compel respect
from all nations of the earth, matter how great
their prestige or power. Bravey he maintained the
rights of Burke and Costello the IrshAnerican citi
zens who dared to vindicate the freedom of Speech
and his firm stand secured their liberation from
Punishment imposed by British tyranny further
evidence of this is supplied by the of the En-
glish newspapers who declared him to rank
of the greatest Americans but affirm that he is the
enemy of England That heis opposed to English
gance we believe, and for that honor him. all who
love Ireland and America must do
8. The declaration Of principles made by the con-
vention which nominated these heartily APP
prove, for in our judgment the wisest
not those which advance the interests of the powerful
but those which promote the interests of the who
toll, because they that constitute the true
greatness of our republic. A measure which
is lgpl
and which will secure to the man who
believe too that navy is needed strong any in
the world, for other will be commensurate with
national rank and trust that such navy shall
be created will make flag honored on all
and secure to citizens native adopted the
rights in every land of Europe that they have
free soil We rejoice that great party has
resolved that the evils which have fallen upon
tive land land dear to hearts wherever fortune
may cast us, shall not come upon America and we
trust that not foot of American soil shall ever be
yielded to the grasp of foreign nobleman capital
ist, and that nonresident landlord shall ever be
permitted to grind the poor tenant is done in
beloved island where the emerald is stained by the
ruby drops wrung from the suffering poor. We be-
lieve that to the United States belongs the
of South America, and that by securing it. as James
G. Blaine long since proposed, shall set in motion
the wheels of many mills and factories and secure to
many and many an honest toier employment at such
wages as shall bring to many a happy home of
his own.
