The New York Tribune and others OF

hullaballooing on the protection of

roaring organ declares that there has

The American people are getting

them The nation Is not baby, and the
country does not stand bareheaded IN
the presence of any OF its esteemed con-
temparles, except as matter OF courtesy
to seniority or Of pity for senility. The
American citizen is not asking the Re.
publican or any other party to protect
MIN. John Chinaman keeps his cue |;
the Southern negro is getting fat and
siucy; the immigrant has better
Chance to rule this country than his own.

it is the ruse Of the mountebank, TO call

what sort OF a man would Blaine DO to

coward. Like all bullies he is craven. -.
Mulligan, shaking the tell-tale letters at

American citizen has no use for such a
