All of the letters TO be found
in the republican press from "prom-
incnt Irishmen," announcing their
apostasy from the democratic to the
republican faith, have one common
feature. One of the reasons in
variably given for change of heart
is opposition to the democratic
doctrine of free trade. In no other
way could these prominent Irish
men" more forcibly declare that
they have received their political
training from republican sources.
If they have not received it from
democrats, they surely have not
received it from eminent Irishmen.
Daniel O'Connell, the great emanci-
pator, struck most telling blows at
the English corn laws, and de-
nounced the robbery of protection
in the strongest terms; Justin McCar-
thy, the eminent historian, and who
is one of the foremost leaders of
the land league, is an uncomprising
free trader, and speaks in his His
tory of our Own Times of the mon
sense" of protection; and that most
eminent jurist, the late Charles
O'Connor, one of the most clear
headed political thinkers of his
time, held free trade as a cardinal
principle of faith And we might
go on to further enumerate Irishmen
and Irish-AmericanS whose genius
is known throughout the world,
who have advocated commercial
freedom. John Kelly once advised
a New York audience to study the
methods and character of Thomas
Jefferson, and pay less attention to
Pat Rooney" a refractory sub boss.
And The Democrat would say to
Irish Americans, to go to the writ
ings of O'Connell, O'Connor and
Mccarthy for their political econ
omy, and pay no attention what
ever to the mushroom statesmen
who pose as prominent Irishmen,"
and who gain their notoriety by
announcing through republican
newspapers their apostasy from the
democratic faith, and their inten-
ton to vote for James G. Blaine.

If u candidate for Lieutenant
Governor is to be chosen by the
Democracy of Wisconsin on account
Of eminent fitness for the position
no man would so well fill the bill
as our fellow townsman Hon. Nj. M.
Strong. Mr.. Strong has been a life
long democrat, ever ably and faith
fully representing the principles of
true democracy. Upon the great is
sue which divides the democratic
and the republican party to-day he
stands as firm believer in and al
able expounder of the doctrine of
commercial freedom. But what
should commend him most to the
people as a candidate for Lieuten-
ant Governor, is his fitness for the
office. The young democracy will
no doubt be well represented upon
the ticket, and the comforting of the
office of Lieutenant Governor upon
Mr.. Strong, whose experience and
ability SO highly qualify him to dis
charge its duties, would be most
appropriate. AS a presiding officer
Mr.. Strong is the peer of any man
in the country, and as president
of the Wisconsin senate he would
reflect credit upon the people of the
state.

While the prospects of the demo-
cracy carrying Wisconsin this fall
are very bright, there is no unseemly
squabble among the democrats for
nominations for officers on the state
ticket. From present indications
Hon. n. d. Fratt will be chosen as
the candidate for governor. But the
democratic voters by their represen-
tatives in the state convention will
decide the matter for themselves.
For the other places on the ticket
but few names have been mention
ed. Young Falk, of Milwaukee, who
made SO gallent a run for state
treasurer in 1881 is prominently
mentioned for denomination for
that office.

1t seems that the protective tariff
is not so benificent in its operations
as Mr.. James G. Blaine would have
US believe. A dispatch dated Column
bus, Ohio, Aug. %, states that the
coal miners who were at work at
Buchtel, in that state, were attacked
by the strikers. The railroad COM
pany petitioned Governor Hoadley
to send troops. Some of the strikers
who were arrested went to Jail with
cheer in the hope of obtaining
something to eat. If the Ubiquitous
tariff system continues much longer
strikes and riots will become as COM
mon in this country as they were
in England before the repeal of the
corn laws. If the country is so
prosperous, the workingman would
like to share in the prosperity as
well as Mr.. Blaine.

The Madison Democrat of Aug
ust %, contains the following in re-
gard to the hopes and fears of
prominent republicans of the Third
district.
The republican contest in this congressional
district grows daily more interesting, and the
future movements of the factions will be inter-
estins to look upon. A gentleman from Green
county reports the friends of ex-Sen. Treat ss
more than mad, at the greediness of Dane county
republicans. They claim to have definite
knowledge that the LaFolleteites are being
pushed forward with all the power of the old
it is not so much love of LaFollette as hatred of
the Reyes faction in Dane and Green counties,
and especially ex-sen Treat. They have sworn
to slaughter Mr.. Treat and if they cannot do it
in the convention they will do it later. Treats
friends claim to have had full and fair under
standing with Dane county republicans that he
was to nave their support this fall, and they are
bullying out all over with anger. Ths one
thing that the Green county republicans are now
trying to hitch on" is whether LaFollette has
formed compact with the Hazelton crowd or
whether the Hazeltonites are booming him
without his knowledge and consent They have
no doubt about the fact that LaFollett's wonder
full success is due to the observation-disclosures
men and they begin to suspect that an alliance
has been fully made extending over at least four
of the FIVE counties of the district, and so far as
the snti-Keyes or Ha1elton men are concerned,
their sole aim is to defeat Treat or any other
Keyes man. and support LaFollere becase he
proved to be available for captaring Dane
county. Mr.. Treats friends say that their is
something more than kids" at work, and they
are about to realize the fact that sly old polit-
ical crowd have been and caught them mapping
and captured the district They say that in
this county the Keyes men are amazed, dazed
bes ildered and are still looking around to see
what hit them,

Senator Edmands has not a very
high opinion of Mr.. Blaine or his
political methods. When Edmunds
and Thurman were working together
to defeat the schemes of Jay Gould
they were opposed in every move
ment by Mr.. Blaine. Mr.. Edmunds
said: ave invariably started up
Jim Blaine from behind Could
breastworks, musket in hand" Ed
munds strongly opposed the nom
ination of Mr.. Blaine for the presi-
dency, and denounced him as
unworthy to fill that Office; and said
he could not be elected, and even il
he could he ought not to be-" We
have not seen it stated that Mr..
Edmunds has changed his opinion
of Mr.. Blaine since he has been
chosen as the standard bearer of the
republican party.

Mineral Point is becoming quite y

Mineral Point is becoming quite a
political center. We understand that
no less than four republican eau
causes were held here on Saturday
last, and enough delegates selected
for several towns in the county. The
new method of selecting delegates
appears to be a great improvement
over the old democratic way OF
having the people choose their own
Representatives. AS it is now, farmers
and other workingmen can attend to
business right along, and the poll
ticians will see that the affairs OF
government are run all right. OF
course as democrats never forget
anything, nor ever learn anything
they cannot be expected to catch
on at once to the new methods
of the party of progress. Ring out
the old, ring in the new.

AN IRISH AMERICAN.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1884-08-29

The Tribune appears to be very
anxious that the republicans of
this district should nominate Philip
Allen. Jr., as their candidate for
congress. 1t says:
at is conceded that there is danger of the
temperance party making serious inroads upon
us, against which what better defense can be
made than the name of Philip Allen, Jr.'
Now The Democrat does not desire
to say aught against Mr.. Allen. He
is a republican who while believing
in prohibition has always secuted
the idea of third party as means
to obtain the enactment Of prohib
tory legislation. But it is to the
attempt of the Tribune 10 hold the
prohibitionists solid for the repub-
lican party by nominating Mr..
Allen for congress, to which we
would take exceptions. The NOM
nation is to be made question of
expediency. The republican nation
al convention was too cowardly to
express itself on the temperance
question, but something must be
done to save the temperance vote
to the republican party. Will the
editor of the Tribune please inform
its readers whether it is because
Mr.. Aliens views upon the temper
ance question are in harmony with
the views of the republican party
that he wishes him nominated for
congress; or if nominated would re-
publican adopt a prohibition plank
une man talks so much about
for him to stand on. Before the Trib-
democratic inconsistency let him
speak out like little man, and ex-
plain the position of the God and
morality party upon the prohibition
question. Does he think that pro-
hibitionists are so blind that they
can not see through the tricks to
which republican politicians would
resort to hold their votes? Is it any
wonder that the party which he
represents, by its double dealing,
and vacillating course upon nearly
every public qeustion has lost the
respect of right thinking citizens?

Is HE A STATESMAN?

A correspondent sends us the fol-
lowing in reply to communication
in the Darlington Republican of last
week. Although Mr.. Orion has not
been nominated for any office this
year, he is among the first repub-
licans in the field attempting to
show up the record Of the dem
ocratic party" of which he was so
long a member:
EDITORS DENocRAT:-A correspondent of last
weeks Darlington Republican, in speaking OF
is statesman aud not demagogue." Which
naturally suggest the query, where has Mr..
Orion demonstrated any craftsmanship, and il
he is no demagogue, what constitutes a dema-
gogue? And he adds: Mr.. orton has a thorough
knowledge of the principles of all the political
parties of our country"
Evidently the writer has known Mr.. Orion
for years and is aware of his having boxed
the political compass most completely. Which
alone gives the lie to his demagogue theory; IS
no man OF honest political convictions is readyto
make political somersault at every change OF
the moon. A demagogue is always an aspirant for
Office. They dislike TO belong TO minorities;
hence they wear their political coats loosely in
order TO be able to make their changes as fast
SIS occasions require il and so far. Mr.. orion is
a statesman. The people would like to have one
particular instance cited where he has shown 1t.
he has been before the people for nearly twenty
FIVE years-belonged to all political parties that
have, been in existence during that time, and il
he has done any one thing emitting him to be
recognized as a statesman, we fail to discover it
The writer in his enthusiasm over Mr.. orton's
candidacy, also suggests that "he is the equal

The Darlington Republican is
an able, well edited republican news
paper, but it has undertaken a
difficult task in trying to convince
Irish Americans that they should
vote for Blaine, the prohibitionists
that they should not vote for st.
John, and the independents that
they should return to the repub-
lican fold. The campaign is now
well under way, and the Republican
is only just getting warmed up to
its work. 1t will have the Ger
mans and the Norwegians to look
after also, and we fear it will have
but little time left before the close
of the campaign to dwell upon
outrages in the south. We can
but sigh when we think of the
effect which the news of Grover
Cleveland's election to the presiden-
cy will have upon the good-natured
editors of The Republican.

Nearly all of our republican local
exchanges q few weeks ago con-
tanned the information that the
brilliant orator and Christian gentle
man, Hon. George r. Vending,
had come out in support of Blaine
and Logan. We very much doubted
the truth of the statement at the
time, knowing as we did that Mr..
Vending is one of the ablest and
purest democrats in the country;
but we were content to let the state
ment pass for what it was worth,
until Mr.. Vending should be
heard from on the subject. In the
Darlington Democrat of last week
we find the following letter from
Mr.. Vending, written in reply to
a friend who wrote him for infor-
nation regarding his alleged change
from the democratic to the repub-
lican party:
BLOOMINGTON, Ill, Aug. II, 81.
FRIEND BLAKLEY:-HOw politicians will lie!
The foregoing article is like fifty others l have
received from various parts of the country in
the last few days.
The article is true with the exception that
l never ran for congress- and the further ex-
ception that l am not now. and never have
been, for Blaine and Logan, but intend 10 vote
for Cleveland and Hendricks, who undoubtedly
will be elected by a great majority; and they
ought to be. Twenty four consecutive years of
power are too much for your, my or any body
else's party in this country to have"
Yours Truly. GEORGE K. VENDING.

have done Mr.. Vending injustice

him justice by publishing the above
letter?

THOUSANDS OUT OF WORK.

Under this heading the following
letter appears, in The Million of
August %.
To the Editor of the Million: Fall River
being the most important center of cotton manu-
featuring in the country, the tariff question is
at present, considered as of most vital impor-
lance and workingmen are turning their atten-
ton towards it with an interest never before
manifested 1t is no great wonder they should
do so, they are now suffering from one result of
protection, over 100000 spindles and almost
5000 looms being stopped this week, throwing
1900 people out of work and causing loss in
wages of Sg7, 600 F. SHORT.
Fall River. Mass, Aug. 15 1891.
1t would seem that after all the
protection policy of the republican
party, does not protect American
industry and it is refreshing to
know that working men are turning
their attention towards the tariff
question with an interest never be-
fore manifested.

Mrs. Parnell, mother of the Irish
Statesman, Charles Stewart Parnell,
was in New York city the other day.
To reporter she said:
I'm a thorough democrat myself, and my
father one of the most earnest democrats
that ever lived. shall always stand by the old
flag and the old ship"
Then you think that Irshmen would best
serve their interests by voting the democratic
ticket"
Most assuredly do. There can be no ques-
ton that the democratic party is the party for
the workingmen to support, and the party
which will best for the interests of citizens
of foreign birth. Under republican rule we
have not only too much red tape, but too much
Capitalization, which is a temptation to people
in power"
