termlned. at any sacrifice, to come back to my
adopted country and lay before my countrymen
the shameful treatment / had received at the
hands OF James G. Blaine and his subordinate
Lowell have tonight laid before you the
plain story of my wrongs, and leave 1t to the
good sense OF my fellow countrymen to say
whether, after hearing the story of how an Amer
lean citizen of Irish birth has been treated by
Mr.. james G. Blaine, when he had the power to
protect me, leave it to their common sense to
say whether they will trust him in the future with
the power to again assist the British government
IN administering the outrageous and tyrannical
provisions OF the coercion act on their unfortu-
nate countrymen in the beautiful island which
they all claim as their motherland.
It is said that the administration of james G.
blalne VIII insist that every American in foreign
lands who has been accused Of an offense, or is
sought TO be pressed into the military service of
the land he abiured when he became an American
citizen shall be given fair and immediate trial :
that ne shall be given an opportunity to use his
own means in his own defense, and that the
nearest American consul or minister shall be in
formed Immediately Of any man who is or claims
TO be an American citizen, that the power of the
government may be used to secure for him COM
plete and immediate justice. But did Mr. Blame
carry out this policy in my regard? am living
witness that be did not. In my case he was
aware that had committed no crime. Twas an
American citizen beyond all question, proof of
which furnished to him. / committed no act

that naturalized citizens had no rights that Eng

Now in conclusion 1 call on you to requite at
the ballot box in November the indignities which
Mr.. Blaine heaped on all naturalized citizens Of
whatever nationalities by the treatment and my
Fellow lrish-American suspects received at his
hands when we asked for the protection guarao-
teed us by our oath of citizenship.

Folcer,s Opinion of Blaine.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 19.-The New York
Blaine and Logan organ is trying to offset
the effect of James B. Buffers statement re-
garding the late Secretary Folger's opinion
of Blaine, by publishing a statement from
Mr. Burrell, superintendent of the bureau Of
engraving and printing, of contradictory
character. 1t is true that Mr.. Burrell was a
friend of the secretary, but everybody in
Washington knows that there was no such
intimacy between them as there was between
Secretary Folger and MIR. Butler Every
body acquainted with the treasurer
for the last three years knows how absurd it
is to offset Buffers statement of what he
knew by Burrell's statement of what he did
not know. Butler has said that Judge Folger
told him that he believed Blaine wished him
beaten two years ago, and wrote a
letter to Dick Harrin ngton, which was
printed during the campaign, for
the express purpose of leading his
friends in New York to vote against Folger
or not to vote. Mr.. Butler having stated
this, nothing that Mr.. Burrell can state is of
any account. There is no sort of comparison
of the means the two men had of knowing
Judge Folger's opinions, besides Mr.. Butler
has ceased to be an Officeholder, and Mr..
Burrell is still Republican officeholder.

Dudley to "Soap" Indiana.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-The tactics that
the Republicans employed in Ohio they are
going to repeat in Indiana. Commissioner
Dudley is going there, and on his native
heath will be able to accomplish great deal
more than he did in Ohio, where he and his
subordinates put in a good deal of work,
though they did not do all the mighty things
that the Democratic press charged.
By the way, it is reported, on fur
ther good authority, that Deputy and
Acting Commissioner Clark has declined to
approve the pay rolls of the pension office
employees whom Commissioner Dudley took
to Ohio with him, and there is I prospect
that Col. Dudley will have to perform that
ceremony himself In Indiana Com mis-
sioner Dudley knows every foot of the
ground, having really done four years, ago
most of the work for which Dorsey got the
credit, which he took good care to appropri-
ate to himself, not because he was there, but
because he had business reasons
for wishing the grand old party
to feel itself under obliga-
tions to him. There are only four cities In
Indiana large enough to have deputy mar
shals, but those cities will be literally sup
piled, and it is intended to have the deputy
marshals shoot few Democrats early in the
day, by way of preserving order and render
ing the polls little too exciting
for timid persons whose politi-
cal opinions could not secure
for them the protection for the deputy mar
shals. The Republicans will have a good
deal Of money to spend in Indiana, and
they will spend it. All the Republican re
sources will be concentrated in New York
and Indiana, and Indiana will get a very
liberal share of attention. 1t Is true that
OHIO cost the Republicans a good deal of
money, but they are bleed
ing the manufacturers, who are
deeply interested in protection,
and the success in Ohio makes the money
come easier. The Clapp-Raum committee
has issued another appeal to the clerks, and
it will get good deal of money. The Ohio
victory brought a good deal of money into
the Clapp-Raum treasury before the appeal
for more money was put forth and more will
come in now. The appeal reminded
the clerks that the Ohio success
did not decide the presidency,
though Republican newspapers have been
insisting that it did-that the November elec-
tions will cost good deal of money, that
Republican defeat will put executive power
into the hands Of a party that ''shows no
mercy to Republicans" This is hint that
the Republican clerks can understand, and
t. rearer the election approaches the more
1s is they have been on this point. The
New York, but that they must have Indiana
and the campaign there will be the Ohio
campaign over again, only little mo-e SO.

state, and has had sufficient experience as q
campaigner to give his views some weight. He
thinks the Republicans seriously injured
themselves by making claims about Ohio i'm
mediately after the election there which were
not fulfilled when the returns began to come
In. In every Town in which he has made q
speech be has found spirit prevailing which
has not been manifested in any presidential
year since 1S56-with one exceptiou-during G
the Tiiden campaign. He finds
that the Irish vote has lost
but little of its loyalty to the party
and thinks that the claims made by the But
Ter men are rather amusing. He believes
that Mr. Butler viii be doing very well if he
gets Is, 600 votes in Brooklyn and New
York, and is quite satisfied that st. John will
more than make good whatever inroads upon
the Democratic vote may be made by the
Massachusetts statesman. This, he submits,
will make the disaffecGed Republicans vote
for Cleveland clear gain and will insure
him clean majority of 1OO,O0O in the state.

ized your tears? Read, pray, the follow
ing paragraph. and hasten to the relief OF
your white fellow-citizens OF New Jersey :
The Inspector of Child Labor Of New
Jersey, who has just reported. found that
in 1000 of its factories "the child-labor
system had left indelible traces OF mental
and physical degeneration in the careworn
children with dwarfed codes. He saw
countless young women who were physical
wrecks from being employed at an early
age for long hours amid machinery. The
illiteracy of children whom he met in fac
tories was shocking. Many of them had
never been to school at all. Some of them
did not know the name OF the State in
which they lived, and had not the slightest
conception Of right or wrong
What is the Danville riot compared with
such wrongs as the above paragraph de-
scribesP We venture to say that in all the
southern States OF this Union together
there cannot be found as much OF real pr.
Walton and suflering-as much that ought
to appeal to the sympathes OF all humani-
tarians--as many evils that need to be cor
rected-as I'm any one Of the thickly-settled
States of the North.

To the Editor Of tie Dispatch:

Your readers have been much entertain
ed in the last few days with the romantic
story from the Valley OF the marriage OF
Miss Becky Payne to woman, and her as
sumption OF the masculine appellatye OF
John Calhoun. The story seems to lack
probability, but its very improbability is
Suggestive OF the necessity Of some t.
quiry. 1t is very manifest that this is
another Bourbon trick to pepetrate fraud
upon the right OF suffrage. The Bourbon
policy denies TO woman her God-giyen
right to vote, and this wonderful story OF
Miss Bcclly's is merely trumped up TO enable
her to add another unlawful vote to the
Bourbons in the next election. II this
fraud is not defeated it Will be the prece-
dent for many others of like character.
This case should be investigated. and
this new development OF fraud checked
in the bud.
Please suggest to Senator Malone the
first time he drives up again to your Office
to have the matter referred. along with the
Danville and COpiah cases, TO Mr.. Sher-
mans committee.
III Eliza Pinkston and her sisters OF Airi-
can descent are not allowed to vote. it will
be an outrage to permit white spinsters by
any fraudulent pretext OF changing their
sex TO deprive her African brethren OF
their constitutional rights.
The trick of Miss Becky's is too trans
parent-and the anlmus is too plainly
shown by her assumption Of the name OF
John Calhoun.
Let Dir. Sherman investigate.

The Al'eghany Sentinel speaks good
word for Richmond, as follows:

The AIeghany Sentinel speaks a good
word for Richmond. as follows:
When our people in Virginia come to
realize the importance OF their own cities
rs commercial centres they VIII have
learned lesson calculated TO do them more
real good than the solution 81 any political
problem. At the close OF the war Rich
mond. our capital city, was impoverished
and destitute. The city OF Baltimore, with
her wealth but little impaired. sent her
mercantile representatives into Virginia
and offered inducements TO her then I'M
poyerisled trade, which had the effect OF
directing the larger part OF 1t toward that
city, Welded by ties OF habit, and IN
some cases personal obligation, our peo-
ple have steadily patronized Baltimore's
wholesale trade TO the almost entire cXciti-
SION Of any other city. AS anatural result,
Richmond has been slow TO secure any sub
staniial recognition rs market by Nir-
pinia tradesmen. But the demand for such
recognition Is now becoming imperative.
baltimore, with her Golfers enriched by the
trade OF Virginia people, vaunteth herself,
and loses no opportunity TO tyiannize over
those whom she once fawned upon. Rich
mond. on the other hand, has made gigantic
strides, and offers the people OF virginia
as great and i'm many instances greater
inducements as a market than Baltimore.
Where I'm the South can you find be- or
boot and shoe-market than Richmond, or.
with facilities better adopted for furnish.
ing the Virginia trade? In the line OF
groceries Richmond offers as close margins
and as reliable qualify Of goods as docs
the Monumental city. Outside OF these
questions-of course important to buy
ers-there lies the fact that Richmond Is
our city, her businessmen are Nlrginians,
her interests and advancement are so much
toward our material growth as 4 State,
that il seems TO us there should be no ques-
ton as 10 4 choice between Baltimore and
Richmond by Virginia buyers, but rather
a united effort to build up our own home
market, and make it prosperous and a
pride TO our people. We have no war 10
make upon Baltimore her commercial men
have helped Virginia in the hour OF need;
but for this she has been vastly compensa-
ted, and now the first duty OF Nirginlans
is to coniine their efforts to making virgil
MIA cities great and prosperous. Latterly,
Richmond's railroad facilities have In
creased and she is accessible to every por-
ton Of the State. therefore on no ground
that is tenaale can Virginia merchants urge
the claims OF Baltimore over tnose oil hlcil-
mond. In fact we do not share the cause
less jealousy which seems to agitate the
minds OF some OF our brethren OF the
press, but rather have a strong hope IN
Richmond's final growth into the centre OF
trade for Virginia.
