The Repub leans New Friends.
The Irish Americans of New York
who made such gallant fight for
Blaine aud Logan in the late election
have issued an address full of en-.
couragement andex horting Irish Ameri-
cans who have had the independence
To show that they were not owned by
the Democratic party not only TO keep
mp the organizations already formed,
bat TO perfect new ones wherever an
Irish American cons iruency Is found.
In the late campaign none worked
harder and morr successfully for the
Republican national ticket than these
name sacrificing meu. They saw in
the party 20 which they had gi ven
their legiance an attempt to adopt ia
spirit the principles 81 free trade which

Of el-cting Blaine and Logan. How
great the Republican detection in New
York was and how great the support
received from the Irish Amer can,
has only been revealed weeks aftel
the election.
Had the latter voted as they had al
ways voted blindly for the Democrat,
ticket without regard to the conssqIeu
cl.s, Cleveland would have had rs larg

As he had for Governor. 1t is estin .

No, and We entertain no doubt upoi
the subject, the leaders of the Republi
can party can begin TO see villa
debt OF i cation they are under I
their new friends.
An encouraging aspect of the case i
that these new friends have come I
the Republican party to stag
long az the party proves itself worth
OF their friendship and support. "A
soon as the party backs down from u
stand it has taken In favor OF the fire.
dom Of the ballot, Of the rights of !
citizens, regardless of race or color,
protecting Americans in those rights {
home and abroad, and of the priucipl
of protection TO American industries
preference TO foreign industries at u
expense Of labor, then 1t will lose Il
vote Of the gallant Irish America
who have CONE TO ITS support. TN u
other hand, if the party proves true
all the principles it espoused in the la
campaign, it will not only retain i
new recruits, but will draw more
lis support The smoke q the late ?
liiical battle has cleared away, and =
solid South sill remains in view de-
anrly solid, but the usually solid Iris
American vote has been reft asund
This is an advantage and gain th
must soon destroy the solidity OF
South, and therein may Republics
take hope.
THE large number Of non suits at
present term OF court would indie;
that many cases are brought before
Hour's for adjudication without care
consideration beforehand. 1t Is
only an expensive experiment to
plaintiff to be non suited, but 1t Is OF
construed into a reflection on
ability of the plaintiffs attorneys hav
the case in charge. If plaintiffs |
siss in pushing their attorneys BET
the court in cases with but little m
hey do them an injustice, and II
the other hand attorneys insist
bringing cases before the court with
reasonable chance for q just verd
it is rather rough on the plaintiffs.
