SENATOR JONES' SPEECH.
Senator Jones. OF Florida, spoke at length upon
the oppression and wrong the Irish race has suffered
at the hands OF the English and said, as man OF
Irish blood, that he owed all his success to demo-
cratic principles He said that In his opinion moth
ing would do the cause OF Ireland more harm than
for lr1sh-Americans to come before this country
and justify their deSertOn OF the democratic party
at this time on the ground that they hope to do
The moment the cause OF that unfortunate island
Is brought into politics here 1t will loose the SYM
pa1hy and moral support Of that powerful organi-
Zation which has ever been IrelandS natural
friend, while 1t win gain nothing but insncere
promises and secret contempt from that other
party, which ever has been and ever will be Ire
lands natural enemy.

home and abroad; that the Official record OF Gov.
Cleveland was ample guarantee that as President
he would in every way fulfil his duty TO the ciri-
zens; that the opposition to the democratic party
had at all times been and is opposed to the exten
sion OF modern citizenship Indifferent to the rights
and wrongs OF adopted citizens, proscriptve In its
policy, narrow and illiberal In its views and since
the expiration OF Its original mlsslon-the abolition
OF slavery-notor1ously lns1ncere in Its claims and
pretenSiOns; that Blaine, while Secretary OF State,
not only failed but refused TO exert the influence
OF the United States government in behalf Of
American citizens, who, while abroad, were de-
prved Of their liberties and that 1t was betting
and proper for the assembly TO support the national
democratic ticket
