Irish Democrats.

Politics being the all absorbing topic o
the day, aud as everything pertaining
thereto Is Just at this time of general inter
est, BAZoo reporter was yesterday de
tailed to feel the pulse Of our Irish fellow
citizens In regard to the candidacy o.
Cleveland and Hendricks, it having beer
asserted as is well known that the larger
majority OF the IRISH voters would support
Blaine in the coming contest. Quite
number of prominent Irishmen were called
upon by the reporter, all of whom declared
their preference for Cleveland and Her
bricks, and expressed the opinion thai
they would be elected president and vice.
president OF the United States by handsome
majJrilies. The opinions are given briefly
below:
MR.. JAMES GLASS
/ said that he was satisfied thai
Cleveland and Hendricks will
be elected by a handsome maiarity,
and that the Irish will as ever be found yo-
ting on the right side, by which ne meant
the straight democratic ticket.
"What Influence, if any, Mr.. Glass,
queried the reporter, "do you think tho
Irish World viii have on the independent

"None whatever, the World has LONG
since losts its influence with the msiority
OF the Irish, who have come to the cOnclu-
sion, that 1T Is working for money rather
than principle"
SIS there any obi c,ioD TO Gov. Cleye-
land on the score of his proteStauisni?"
'NOt the least, that has hardly been con-
sidered by the majority Of intelligent Irish
men,"
JOHN W. MURPHY,
said that he thought that the alleged disaf-
fiction In the ranks of the Irish democrats
would amount TO nothing, and that Cleve-
land and Hendricks will receive the solid
Irish vote.
"Will the fact of Governor Cleveland
being a protestant injure HIM with the
Irish" asked the reporter.
"Not in the least. II they urge that
charge against him, what is to
become of Mr.. Blaine, who
is an apC state from the faith. His mother
was a Catholic, and he wis baptized in the
Iaith. So far as the Irish Worlds support
OF Mr.. Blaine is concerned il cuts but lit
tie figure. That paper hgs long since lost
its influence with the majority of the Irish

said that he did not believe there was any
serious disaffection among Irish democrats,
and that all would come right when the
proper time came.
What do you mean by all coming
right ?" asked the scribe.
"Thst the Irish will vote the democratic
ticket as they always do, and should do"
replied Mr.. Mckinley.
DEPUTY CIRCUIT CLERK BRADY.
81 think that the Irish will fall into line
and present a solid front in November for
Cleveland and Hendricks. So far as the
Irish World is concerned that only has in
huence with very few, and they are on
the fence ready to tumble in any dire ction."
THOMAS D. QUIN.
"There is no disafectioa worth speaking
of among Irish democrats. Cleveland and
Hendricks will be elected by a handsome
majority, and the Irish will vote as usual
for democracy and honest government"
"Will the fact that Governor Cleveland
is protestant, cut any figure in the case 2"
inquired the reporter.
''Not the least. 1t is my opinion that

The Catholic church is too conservative to
precipitate or encourage q contest of this
kind. The Irish are satisfied with the
democratic ticket, and will be found in
solid phalanx. when election day comes.
So far as the Irish Worlds championship
of Blaine is concerned, that is Powerless to
harm the democratic candidates, as 1t has
long since lost its influence, with the rank
and file of the Irish voters"
JOHN M'GINLEY,
deputy county collector, was very busy
when the reporter called, and
not in a mood for an interview:
He said that he had no opinion to offer
but saw no reason why there should be
any change in the Irish vote from former
years.
JAMES TULY,
In reply to the question il he thought
the Irish would be solid for Cleveland and
Hendricks, said, 81 do not think anything
about il. / know it."
TIM cosGRIFP,
our efficient water commissioner, said that

struggle comes, few indeed will be the Irish
men found casting their votes for Blaine.
Governor Cleveland being a protestant does
not enter into the principles involved in
the contest. The support given to Blaine
by the Irish World, will have very little
influence with the average Irish voter
The Pilot is the recognized Irish journal in
this country, and that has declared for
Cleveland and Hendricks in the most en-
phatic terms.
Ed CASSIDAY.
'sThe alleged dissfection will amount to
nothing. The Irish, that is the large ma
iority Of them, will vote for Cleveland and
Hendricks, who are popular candidates and
will poll the full party vote, ensuing their
triumphant election. Il is all stuff about
Blaine and Logan securing the bulk of the
Irish vote. There was q great fuss made
about John Kelley boiling the nomination
etc. but that has all blown over. The Irish
World has very little influence, and any oil
its u.terances will have very little weight.
