Irish-Amerioan Mass Meeting in New
York.

A mass meeting Of Irishmen who favor the
election Of Blaine and Logan was held Mon
day night, at Chickering Hall. The audience
was q large one, and the hall was taxed to
its utmost capacity to accommodate those
who desired to attend. Among those who
occupied seats on the platform were Gen.
Dennis F. Burke. Capt. Michael Foley.
Patrick Ford. of the Irish World, Capt.
O'Meagher, Edward J. Rowe. John Roach
and Col. J. p. OFlynn. Austin +. Ford
was made chairman. He said ii was
strange thing to see 5000 lrish-Americans
assembled in New York to endorse the NOM
inees Of the Republican party.
The first speaker was Rev. George W.
Pepper. of Worcester, Ohio. He said they
had come together TO defeat the candidates
supported BY the London Times The Re
publican party had always been opposed by
the English Government, whose sympathies
were with the Democrats. The Republican
party was a party of personal liberty and
the protection of labor. Free trade crippled
every country into which it had been in
troduoed. lie predicted that in November
next Gov. Cleveland would be buried so
deep that the sound of Gabriel's trumpet
would never reach him. Not one in two
lrishmen in Ohio would vote for Cleveland.
The Catholics there were all opposed to
him.
Judge Brennan. Of Iowa, said he had
come 400 miles to be present at the meet
ing. The Democrats had said for 40 years
that because they were Irish they must vote
the Democratic ticket. Ii was now time to
say they vote the Republican tickle; for the
same reason. Other speakers were Y. I.
Barry, Of Illinois, and Capt. O'Meagher
Condor, of Washington. \ circular was
distributed at the meeting. signed by the
Labor Convention, setting forth the various
reasons why Cleveland should not be sup
ported.

Editor Purcell Of the Rochester Union

political or personal grounds that he refused
to support Cleveland it is because be be-
lieves him to be "moral leper."
"A representative of the Cambridge
Tribune at Saratoga, writes "An inter
view was obtained with Hon. John Kelly.
Sufficient was said to assure us that he pre-
fers Blaine to Cleveland. lie will not play
an open hand but one that will be likely to
make votes count on election day."
THAT Governor Cleveland is the English
candidate there can be no doubt. The
London Standard says that "a more salts
factory result than the choice of Cleveland
could hardly be desired"
The London DAILY Telegraph says:
"With the unanimous nomination of Gov
ernor Cleveland by the Democratic party,
American politics will be taken out of the
party rut. although the Democrats on the
whole have remarkably pure record. The
Irish American citizens hatred Of Cleveland
is the best certificate obtainable for his
elevation TO Office, aid for this reason
he should merit the supper, of all true
Americans"
-lrishmen Of spirit have no choice.
Cleveland must be defeated. and the only
way TO do that eifectually is by voting for
James g. Blaine for President Irish
Nation.
A movement is at present on foot in
Montreal. inaugurate1 by the leaders of the
French Canadian party who are working for
the independence of Canada, to secure for
Blaine, the Republican Presidential candi-
date, the large vote controlled by French
Canadians in the United States. The reason
of this movement, as stated by one of those
at the head Of it, is that blaine declared
himself favorable TO the independence of
Canada and n commercial union Of the whole
Of North America. This" continued the
gentleman in question, lis the same policy
as that pursued by Garfield during his cam

of a grand commercial union TO embrace
Canada and Mexico, and Blaine, as his
Secretary Of State. melted this principle.

publican candidature has reiterated his views
on the subject and his friends have been in

The Greedy Party.

The steamers sent TO the relief of Lieut..
Greely and his men in the Arctic seas, re-
turned to ST. Johns, \. F., on Thursday,
July Il, bringing Lieut. Greely and five Of
his men, OF the twenty-eieht brave men
who went out only seven were rescued alive
and one Of these died within few hours az
ter being rescued.
The history Of the party since the first Of
rors Between that cate and the day of the
rescue, June %, fifteen of the party died of
starvation, and had the ,rescuers been de-
iayed twenty-four hours longer, it is believed
that not one would have been found alive.
Speaking of the deep interest taken by Sem
ator Hale in securing congressional assist
auce and in hurrying up the departure of
the Relief Expedition, the Aroostook Re-
publican very justly says:
in speeches of great eloquence and
power, he supported resolution for the re-
lief of the expedition. He did not allow
technical objections, as to the amount to be
appropriated, or the organization of the re-
lieving expedition, TO stand in the way. The
burden of his speeches, was, "Stand not on
the order of your going, but Co." In his
own words, Il do not know hoc / should
feel if the expedition should go up there
and it should be found that those men had
persisted, within fortnight of the time
when the relief reached them, and that de-
Law had been caused BY our delay here"
How nearly fatal to all the precious lives
even then, one by one going out, these de-
laws, against which Senator Hale fought so
persistently and ably, the sad result has
shown"
Great credit is due Commander Schley
and his party, especially the intrepid ice pi-
lot. Norman, for pushing through the ice in
Melville BAY so early in the season. thereby
saving the lives of all who we're rescued.
Twelve bodies of those deceased were
brought back with the survivors and will be
sent to their friends for interment. The
living have been taken to Portsmouth, N.
H.. where they will remain until sufficiently
recovered to return to their homes.

The Reason for It.

The Democratic organ has no patience
with those Irish-American voters who ex-
press admiration for Mr.. Blaine. II asks
"What has he ever done for the Irish peo-
ple?' Doubtless the most of those to
whom this question is put nave an answer,
as il is matter Of historical record. In
1867, no one Of the European Governments
admitted the right of subject TO become
the citizen of the United States to an extent
that his allegiance to the country of which
he is a native could be abrogased. "Once a
subject always subject" was particularly
the British doctrine, and for many years was
the frequent subject of dispute with the
United States. Until February, 1865, every
European Government maintained this
theory. At that time treaty was made
with Germany, BY which the right of natives
of Germany 10 become citizens of the United
States was ratified. During the Fenian ex-
element in 1865 and 1866 the course pur-
sued by several Irish-Americsns who had
been naturalized greatly exasperated the
British Government AMI subsequently several
put in prison. Mr.. Blaine, then a member
of the House, was a conspicuous champion
Of Costello, General Bourke and others. The
correspondent Vi Tue fItHUOH ,1tuHIuTu, Ill
commenting upon Mr.. Blaine's nomination
gives the concise history of the case, as fol-
lows:
Costello was arrested in Ireland in 1867,
and placed on trial for speech made in
New York, while a. American citizen, in
| 1865, which was construed as reasonable.
Under the act Of 1913, which especially de-
clared England's right TO punish upon
British soil British-born subjects for trea-
sonable utterances or performances made
upon foreign territory, Costello was SEN
fenced to sixteen years penal servitude.
His claims of American citizenship were
| ignored upon the ground that there was
nothing in any treaty existing between the
| United States and Great Britain debarring
Great Britain from claiming asa British
subject any person born on British soil.
Costello was removed to Millbank Prison.
Blaine organized Congressional agitation,
which resulted in the Liberation of Costello
and all his colleagues who possessed full
/ American naturalization, and in the treaty
of 1870, in which Great Britain surrendered
all claims of allegiance from British subjects
who became nsturalized as American citizens.
Blaine is given by the Irish the full credit Of
extorting this treaty from Great Britain
and of enabling Irishmen, by free agitation,
to form American opinion as factor in
coercing England to deal justly with ireland
without subjecting themselves, as formerly,
to arrest and punishment as traitors. For
this he will secure the support of and draw
the bulk OF the Irish vote from the Demo-
cratic party"
The result of the agitation ofthis question
nj that time by Mr.. Blaine and other Repub-
lican leaders has been the ratification Of
