Our First Votes.
9. v. Wagner in Cleveland Plain Dealer.


My youog friend, did you say that
you will cSst your first vote for Presi-
dent 10 November? So do I. Am q
Republican, Well, hardly, though l
cannot be said to belong TO any party
IS yet. However, the hour draws rap
idly ncar when | shall have to decide
and then put the decision into practice
at the polls. You will he forced to do
the same, Now, how will 1t be with
youf What party will you support p
For some time have considered this
question and am now satisfied as to the
duty Of : young man who desires to bet.
ter the government of bis country. To
this conclusion desire to draw your at
tention for short time. This is a pro.
gtessive age All may thiuk and act for
themselves, thus securing better state
of sdvaucement. Therefore by my frs,
vote, indeed by no vote, can l conscien.
ttiodsfy snpport or further the party
That is so devoid OF progression tha,
its principles are twenty years behind
the times;
That depends on "soap" and Official
corruption to preserve its power;
Tha! is so lost to principle that i,
seeks sggrandizement by preserving &
vindictive sectional spirit;
That is the party of Dorsey, Jay Hub
bell and Guiteau; ~
That has swept the American flag
from the ocean by its infamous policy
That pillaged the national treasury
through iniquitous rings;
That degraded the ballot box;
That surrounded the polls by armed
troops;
That corrupted the civil service;
That taxes the many to 6ll the pockets
of few;
That stoops to be conquered by, no,
to conquer, monoplies;
That stole the presidency;
That invented "Blac& Fridays"
That brought on the financial agonies
Of 10, '73 and TT;
That fostered whisky rings:
That begot star reuters and protected
them as its own gracious offspring; and
That murdered Garfield 10 settle its
family qlarrel and then failed to settle
1t.
These, my friend, are some reasons
that should have great force IN the minds
of all earnest and patriotic yoang vo.
ters. I. for one, cannot couutenance In
the least such a political organization as
that. The Republican party, no doubt
is very good sort OF party. 1t may
have done some things that benefited the
nation. However, the party that has
such q category OF misdeeds certainly
needs renovating. 1t needs revolution
in its house, from garret to cellar. II
this be true, as it obviously is. how shall
it be brought aboutp BY sustaining It

o, no; I would not prejudice you. in
the least, against any political organizs-
ton This is the land OF free thought
and free action. Decide and vote for
yourself, but at the same time weigh
matters we'll. NY first vote, at least,

There was great general satisfaction
among the large number present as Brother
Gardner took his accustomed seat at the
opening of the meeting Since the accident
mentioned at the last meeting several wild
runlors had been flying around. One was
to the effect that he had made his will and
resigned in favor of Sir Isaac Walpole;
another that the doctors had held a council
and found that his liver had been pressed
two feet out of plump: a third that the heavy
weight resting upon him solong had given
him such a crook to his legs that wheel
barrow could be run between them with
plenty of room to spare.
"Gen'lem," began. the old man, as he
smiled benignly down upon the shining
pates of the first row, "de presumdenshul
lection am thing of de past. 1t am gone

This gifted ard gracious lady, who has
given her life and talents to the problem of
how to best help the poor, recently arrived
in this country on several missions, principal
among which is to make arrangements for
TIE publication of her numerous works, so
that her various charities may derive
some income from them. Another object is
to introduce goods of Irish manufacture.
She is of the opinion that an enterprising
merchant, by devoting department to Irish
manufactures exclusively, such as laces,
pottery, all kirds of linen goods, etc., can
benefit himself and her people. Miss Cusack,
as she was known before joining the Order
of Poor Clares, is "a years of age, and comes
from distinguished family. Notwithstand-
ing her comfortable surroundings, she early
exhibited q desire to devote her life to the
needy poor. With this object in view she
Joined community of Protestant sisters,
but later became Catholic, and then a nun.
Since then her labors have been enormous.
Besides founding institutions in the most
destitute communities, she has written over
30 books, chiefly histories and biography
also advice to young girls. Her versatility
Is shown likewise as a composer. By
special permission of Baron Tennyson she
has set to music many of his songs. She
has just returned from Rome after an au-
dience with the pope, in which he granted
her the privilege of founding a new order,
called the "Ssters of Peace" the badge OF
which is shown in the picture.

Tho late shooting of NJ H. De Young, oi
Tho San Francisco Chronicle, by Claus

the De Young brothers, who almost penni.
less and without experience built up the best
paying single newspaper property on the

tional and extremely personal style of jour.

yet their energy and enterprise in gathering

Tor The Chronicle circulation greater than
any paper west of the Mississippi. There
were three of the De Young boys, who in
their early life played around a mining
camp in northern California. The family

Minister Kalloch's SON, and here the love

was shown. While Charles De Young lay
dying from Kalloch's bullet special edition
of The Chronicle was printed for their
mothers perusal, leaving out the sad intel
ligence, in the hope that he might recover
without giving her anxiety. Since tho
death of Charles, Michael has kept tho
paper up TO the same standard of per

fallen victim to it.
