The publication of the SITTER was

Cured from causes over which we had
no control, and was consequently nm
avoidable. We do not expect it to oc-
cur again. Appropos, we will say to
the friends of the SITTER that we are
still Fright side up with care" Every
week sees our subscription list aug
mented, and our advertising patronage
increased. This constantly increased
patronage shows conclusively that the
bold. fearless, independent course of
the paper has met the approval of the
people. the thinking. independent mas
res. and for these we propose to cater,
caring nothing fer the politician what
ever. IN fact, we believe that the man
or men who ride about the country
..se.tine 'em up" as il Is termed, do
not deserve the countenance OF any re-
spectacle journal. We are opposed to
their methods, and viii continue to
fight them upon all available occasions.

MASS EETING
OF irish Voters TO Endorse the Nominal
ton of Blaine and Logan.

New YORK. July 2S.
The mass meeting of the Irishmen who
favor the election of Blaine and Logan was
held tonight at Chickering Hall. The au-
dence was 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. Captain Michael Foley.
Patrick Ford of the Irish World, Captain
OMeagher Coudon of Washington, Edward
j. Rowe, John Roach and Col J. F. O'Flynn
Austin +. Ford was made chairman. He
said it was n strange thing to see 5000 Irish
American voters in New York endorse the
nominees of the republican party.
The first speaker was Rev. Geo. w. Pep
der of Worcester, Ohio. He said they had
come together to defeat the candidates sup
ported by the London Times. The republic
an party had always been opposed by the
English government, whose sympathies were
with the democrats. 1t was party of person
al liberty and protection of labor. Free trade
crippled every country into which il had leen
introduced He 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 Irshmen
in Ohio vote for Cleveland. The Catholics
there were all opposed to him.
Judge Brennan of Iowa said that he had
come 400 miles to be present at the meeting
The democrats had said for 40 years that be-
cause they were Irish the must vote the dem
ocratic ticket. 1t was now time to say they
they would vote the republican ticket for the
same reason.
The other speakers were T. Barry of Ill
nois and Captain O'Meagher Condor of
Washington. A circulsriwas distributed at
the meeting signed by the labor convention,
setting forth various reasons why Cleveland
should not be supported.
