THE course and ability with which the
Irish World" has been conducted during
the campaign shows its editor, Patrick
Ford, to be a man Of no ordinary intellect
and character. Such sheet cannot fail
to exert healthful influence on the Irish
American character and intelligence. II
has, no doubt, already had the effect ol
inducing many to see that their true inter.
ests do not lie with the Democratic party,
that they have nothing to expect from its
conservatism and fogyism, and that It's
Tree trade notions must eventually, If put
IN practice, sink them to the condition Of
heir brethren in the mother country. Mr..
Ford makes IN excellent paper. In vari.
ty and fullness and literary ability II
ranks with the best journals in the coun.
ry and we congratulate our Irish citizens
m having so able representative and
hope that they may make trial Of It's
Iages the coming year.
