The dissatisfaction which has existed
among the Irish Democrats Of Wheeling,
w. Va, since the nomination Of Cleveland
has culminatsd In the organization OF
Blaine Club In wheeling. composed Who'll
ly OF Irishmen who have always voted t.e
Democratic ticket. The first seeeder
nom the Democratic ranks was v. Lsrkin'
an Irish Catholic, q leading dry goods
merchant with him went other inhuen-
ti.i Irishmen. From this start the move
ment grew. Every possible Effort was
made By the Democrats 10 stop the STAN
pede. bot the attempt proved abortive, as
the suocsssfui inauguration Of the club
shows. The meeting Was held In the ball
OF the knights Of Labor and was an enthu-
siastic gathering. Speeches were made
by several gentlemen, who asserted that
they had been lifelong Democrats, but In
this campaign would work for the election
Of Mr.. Blaine.

FIXING THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR TIN-CAN
POISONING.

To me EdttOr OF The Tribune.
SIR: 1t seems to me that ifthe physicians who
pronounce certain sickness tbe caused BY poison
ing eating canned food, would note the name OF the
maker Of such goods and whence they came in each in
stance and the he published they would be
doing great benefit to the people 1t must be evident to
many OF canned goods that some packers are
much careful than Others and it might be proved
that In each case OF poisoning the goods from par
tcuar factory At any rate would make packers more
careful Adutersted and poisonous food should De ex-
cuded from the markets and II IL be proved that any
particular brand OF canned goods Is poisonous the pubic
ought to know it and thus be put on its guard r. b.
