pealing for Irish Votes.
The managers Of the Republican cam
paign are circulating the Irish World by
the cart.load and car-loar, in the hope of
inducing Democrats Of Irish nativity to
desert their party. The Boston Post sug-
gests that they should also send out a copy
Of that paper Of March. 1882. II they
won't do it, let the Democratic National
Committee see to it. Let the sentiments
OF the Irish World Of to-day, which Mr..
Blaine is 80 diligently circulating, be fol-
lowed up with the sentiments OF the same
paper " years ago. Intelligent Irish
men will then be able to make COMPARE
sons and draw differences as to the EDITORS
sincerity and consistency. On the date

ing, "a Strange st. Patrick's Day Orator"
he said:
Ex-Secretary Blaine is announced TO
speak in St. Louis at q banquet given by
the knights of St. Patrick on the evening
of March II. A more unfit selection could
hardly be made, as it ia an insult to the
intelligence Of self-respecting Irish-Ameri-
cans to ask them to listen on fitzpatrick
Day to a man who refused to stir . finger
to release from British dungeons American
citizens of Irish descent illegally arrested,
although at the time 1t was his duty to see

Irish World:
What most honest men think of the sin

the above lines a little over two years age
and now lsuds Blaine in his paper as the
Presidential candidate for whom above al

vote on the 4th day OF November. II Mr.
Blaine had in any way altered, il he were
to-day more friendly to Irish-Americans
than he was in March, 1882. we nigh,
readily account for the change in the atti

ia to-day the same man as he was when ht
held the Secretaryship Of State under Gar

in English jails, and We defy Mr.. Ford oil
any other Independent Irish American
to prove the contrary.
The Pilot also shows up the utter fslsity
