ADRIAN, MINI, Aug st is amusing to the
Irish and others in southwestern Minnesota TO
witness the frantic efforts of the Blaineites to
produce a waramong the Irish American citizens
so that they may cast their ballots for the Re-
publican nominee. Your correspondent has
talked with many Irish (be it known there are
hundreds Of that class in these parts), and have
not found q solitary Instance where a statement
has been made that could be ''transmogrifed to
the effect that these votes will 90 for Blaine, or
''2ic and Jack" Earnest, honest, thinking peo-
pie recognize the fact that this Is a campaign of
SANDER. The Republican party has invited it.
Nothing has been too vie, too low, too dirty, for
that party 10 engage ia in order to detract from
the splendid standard bearer Of the Democracy
Our people have read, and with disgust, the in
decent attacks upon Gov Cleveland Two or
three copies Of an evening paper published in St
Pau reach this point, by accident, I think II is
an opinion, ard very freely expressed, that a
man who win so far forget himself as to cheap
SANDER upon SANDER upon the good character
of Grover Cleveland is rotten scoundrel at

crauks wear long hair, female cranks short hair.

an Irish friend OF niue SAYS, IAN Irishman who
votes for Blaine Is a reuegade-worse than an in
former 1t IS all the merest ciap-trap that
Blaine Is Catholic. He is not, never has been,
and II Is doubtful II he has good qualities enough
aboGt him TO become member OF that church
but the church should not be brought into poll
tics. Any person who can see coming events
win assurcdly discern what the leaders OF the
Republican party are lahoring for, namely, the
dsiutegTation of the Catholic church in this
country. l ask every candid Irishman has the
Republican party ever been of any benefit to

take YOU BY the hand and bid you welcomes

an opportunity presented itself they legislated
against Won and yours. Before you shall vote
think OF these these things. Remember them
