That is the Cry of the Hon. John #. Flnerty,
Who Comes out Squarely for the Repub-
lican Ticket.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The Hon. John f. Finerty. member of
Congress from the Second District, has
always been Democrat, bat was elected
to Congress on an Independent ticket.
He is again the candidate of the people
of this district without regard to party
lines, but because his sense of honor
would not permit him to support Cover
nor Cleysland for President, the Dem
0cratic machine has determined to de-
Feat him. In the last issue of his paper,
the Irish Citizen, Mr.. Finerty reviews
the situation in his district and then
declares his intention to support Blaine
on the broad ground of American citi-
zenship. He says:
without surrendering principle
that he has ever held, without accepting
any party collar, without abandoning
the people-the independent and honest
peOple-whO have trusted in and elected
him, Mr.. Finerty, on the broad ground of
American citizenship and American
glory, hereby declares his preference for
James G. Blaine as Presidential can
didate.
HE DECLARES AGAINST CLEVELAND
because he has proved himself the ene-
my OF the labOrer and the mechanic, the
ally OF mOnOpOlists, the self-cOnstituted
Judge OF the c0nstituti0Dality Of meas
ures intended to benefit the people, the
bare faced dOdger of the vital question
OF protection to American industries,
and the champion, accepted and ratified.
OF foreign interest on this continent.
Mr.. Finerty will never be found voting
for any dubious American who has the
unqualified support of of the Times, the
Telegraph, the Standard and the News,
of London.
He supports James G.. Blaine because,
in declaring openly for protection
against Europe, and free commerce with
our American neighbOrs on and below
our southern frontier, he advocates the
true American policy, and the only one
by which this country can not only re-
main great, free and prosperous, but al
SO by which she can spread the influence
she ought to possess on the two cls-At.
lantic continents, and maintain the let
ter of that Democratic Monroe doctrine
which says to Europe ''hands off, and of
which MIR. Blaine, although a Republi-
can, is the Jruest and
MOST GIFTED LIVING EXPONENT.
With him at the head of the Nation
there would be no fear that the Panama
canal shall ever degenerate into a Eu-
rOpean waterway.
Mr.. Finerty, further, supports Mr..
Blaine because Of his vigorous foreign
pOlicy-a policy that the tragical end of
President Garfield eurbed before it had
attained to more splendid development.
Mr.. Blaine believes in navy capable of
fighting, and in system OF National
defense commensurate with the vastness
and the diversified interests of the United
States.
Mr.. Finerty also supports Mr.. Blaine
because England abhOrs him, and be-
cause his election, although he is not a
fire-brand or promoter of unnecessary
warfare, would be slap in her face. He
hopes the time may never come when
the American people will accept can
didate that their most bitter enemies
and jealous commercial rivals desire.
Finally. Mr.. Finerty declares against
Grover Cleveland because his nomina-
tlon BY the Democratic National conven-
ti0n was a direct insult, and so intend
ed, to the backbone of the Democratic
party north of the Ohio, and challsngs
to the manhood and political courage Of
every American, of whatever race or
previous condition, who earns his liveli-
hood by honest labor.
