POLITICAL NOTES AND
COMMENTS,

The Irish World, now run as cam
paign paper, in the interest of the Repub.
lican candidate for the Presidency, and Is
mailed regularly to Irishman throughout
the county, is just now occupying recu-
liarly inconsistent position. We repro
duce the following taken from its columns
in 1881:
''In his fiunkyism to the English Gov
eminent. James Ct. Blaine has refused to
protect American citizens whom he was
bound by every principle of law to extend
protection to. Such man has no con-
ception of what is due to- the honor of the
United States, and should never again be
placed in position where he can disgrace
our Government"
1t is understood that Gov. Cameron, of
Virginia, has gone to visit the Republican
National Committee in New Y ork for the
purpose of explaining his side of the diff
ference with Senator Malone. In view
of the divided condition of the Republic
cans all talk of carrying the State for
Blaine has been abandoned 1t Is now
only question of the size of the Demo-
cratic majority, and some Democrats
claim that they will elect nine out of the
ten Congressman"
The negroes of New York will all vote
for Blaine. Derrick, the negro Presiden-
tial elector speaks OF the Irish American
vote, as follows:
II believe that the time is coming when
Irishmen and negroes will split up and
vote differently from their present solid
ranks, but that time has not come yet. We
cannot safely leave the Republican party
and scatter our votes until the German
and Irish element-particularly the Irish
element-learns to respect our right. Ire
land is clamoring for liberty at home, and
still she Is unwilling to accord the same
right to US. The Irish have been our Bit
ter and relentless toes. Every vote they
have cast as people has been cast to en-
slave US.
Blood is thicker than water, and the
Irishmen, especially in the South, will
continue in the future as In the past to
vote with their white fellow citizens.

BURIED ALIvE.-Monday afternoon
Mrs. Hattie B. Glasscock, near Smokers
vile, sent one of his hands to a field not
far from the house to clean some brias.
and who while thus engaged, was attrac
ted by the crying of child in strip OF
woods in one corner of the field. Investi-
CATION revealed the presence of white
female child, about two months old, reg
ularly entombed among the rocks-the
sides OF which were carefully filled in with
leaves and dirt, and large fiat rock placed
over the grave thus improvised. The lit

The superstition if that it had been drugg-
ed with laudanum, and under the impress
sion that life was extinct, this inhnman
expedient was resorted to for the purpose
of getting it out of the way and possibly
to conceal crime. The supposition that
laudanum had been administered was
strengthened by the fact that the hand.
kerchief about the neck was saturated
with vomil, which probably saved her
life. The little creature is supposed to
have lain in her cold and rugged grave
since the preceding Saturday-and when
found she was fearfully emaciated and al
most dead for want of Dourishment. Med
ical skill was called to her aid, however,
and lady who saw her on Tuesday morn
ing, informs US that she was greatly re-
vived, and under tender, careful treatment
was likely to survive after her miraculous
escape frOul a horrible death. We learn
from the same source that the foot prints
of man and woman were detected in
the earth about the grave. The child is
said to be quite interesting in appearance

The Republican Majority in Maine.

The Republican Majority in Maine.
AUGUSTA, Me-, September 1O.-The
following dispatch was forwarded from
here day:
Hon John 4. Logan, Chicago
Returns from remote sections of the
State increase the majority beyond all ex-
peetations. In s56 towns the Republican
majority over Redman exceeds $4,000,
and the prospect is that with COM
plete returns the majority may reach
$4,000, and possibly be the largest ever
given in the history of the Republican
party in Maine, with two exceptions at the
close of the war. The latest returns show
that the Republicans have carried every
county in the State, and haye elected
every member of the State Senate. The
magnitude of the Republican vote is sur
prise to both parties, and shows that a
large number of Democrats joined our
ranks.

he was connected with the defalcation of

Saturday last, youth named Willie E.
Moore, shot himself with a revolver in
Manchester. The ball passed into the
body about three inches from the heart
and lodged in the region of the spine.
The wound is not necessarily mortal, but
the young man is very critically injured.
Disappointment in love is given as the
cause for the act. Since writing the
above young Moore has died.

DR.. C. c. O'Donnell, the man

thorough humbug, whose name
for years was conspicuous among
the News Letters list Of quacks.
He has no lepcrs and is simply
making q sensational trip East as
an advertising dodge and nothing
more. 1t is dollars to cents that
he has no lepers with him, not that
there are none in San Francisco;
but because they cannot be. hired
to travel, and no man in his sane
senses would take them under his
wing if he could.

DUNP1YV CANDIDACY

Ed. APPEAL: l have noticed
that the APPEAL has taken no act
i've part in the Senatorial fight.
How il the APPEAL, who is gen.
orally 20 active in the Senatorial
crisis, going to stand this Fall. If
Dunphy, the cattle king, should
come in with . million or SO how
would the APPEAL stand on the
question of a man to succeed Jones.
An INQUIRER.
The APPEAL receives = good
many letters from anonymous
sources and it has long been = rule
in this Office never to notice such
things. The writer of the above
evidently did not suppose for a mo-
ment that his letter would be
printed or he would never have
put such foolish questions. If he
supposes that Dunphy' sack
would influence the APPEAL, he is
simply asked to what extent Sharon's
or Fairs sack Influenced it in previ-
Gus campaigns. Dunphy's candi-
dacy is simply out Of the question.
He lives in California and votes
there. He has no actual residence
in Nevada, and the law cannot pos
sibly be twisted into recognizing
him as citizen. The APPEAL has
always stood sqparely upon the Con-
stitutiun in the matter of electing
a Senator. Nobody but an actual
resident has any claims upon the
voters of Nevada, and We believe
that the voters Of this State will,
this Fall, rebuke any man who has
the temerity to enter the poll with
out at least the first essential quail
ifcations Of citizenship,which must
have a substantial foundation of
actual residence.

Why is it-You should be particularly care

in a large amount of food being taken into the

system and stagnates the blood.
Whatto do-Romove this deposit, cleanse the
