Mr.. Blaine to an Irish-American
In 1880, just before the election of Gen. Gar
field, Mr.. Blaine wrote the following letter to
an Irish-American in reply to some iuauiries:


AUGUSTA, Me-. October 81, 1880.
MY Dear Sir; received your friendly letter
with much pleasure. Let me say IN reply that the
course of yourself and other Irish voters is one of
the most extraordinary anomalies in our poll ical
history. Never, probably, since the execution of
Robert Emmett has the feeling OF Irshmen the
world over been so bitter against Englan, and
Englishmen as at this hour. And vet the great
mars of the Irish voters will, Tuesday next vote
precisely as Englishmen would have them vote for
the interests of England. Having seen Ireland re
duced to misery and driven to despair by what they
regard as the unjust policy of England the Irishmen
of America their suffrages as though thew were
the agents and servants of the English Tories The
free traders OF England desire nothing so much as
the defeat Of Garfield and the election OF Hancock.
They wish to break down the protective tariff and
cripple our manufactures, and nine-tenths of the
IRISH voters of the country respond with alacrity
yes, We will do your bidding and vote as you
please, even though it reduce our wages and take
the bread from the mouths of our Children There
are many able lnen and clever writers among the
Irish In America, but have never met one of them
able enough and clever enough to explain this ano
maly on any oasis of logic aud good sense. am
glad to see from your esteemed favor that the sub
Ject is beginning to trouble you. The more you
think OF it the more you will be troubled am sure.
And you will be driven finally to the conclusion
that the prosperity of the Irish in this country de-
ponds as arg ly as that of any other class upon the
maintenance of the financial and industrial policy
represented by the Republican party,
Very truly yours, j. G. BLAINE.

BUFFALO, July 30-The international park
commission is about completing its labor of
taking evidence on the value of Prospect Park,
Niagara Falls. They have been at work twen-
~ days, and 1900 folios of evidence have been
taken. Nearly every old resident at the falls
has been sworn, and the average worth of the
park is estimated at about 100000. Some of
the witnesses placed the value at 81, 900, 900,
but this is considered exorbitant.
