TALK ABOUT THE PARTIES.
British Citizen Sweeny = McSweeny
Makes an Appeal to the Irish.
Perfecting Arrangements for Gen. LOgans
Reception Democrats Importing VO-
terS-An Orators Blunders.

The Democratic meeting held last night at the
corner of Tennessee and South streets was
success in but one partcular-that OF attend
Rnce. Including torchbearers there was an
audience of 2 500, and the people who turned out,
attracted without doubt by curiosity to see the
much talkedof Insolvency. of Great Britain,
formerly Daniel Sweeny, of California, dispersed
to their homes after seeing him and particularly
after hearing his rambling, incongruous talk of
thirty FIVE minutes with ill-disguised dissatisfac-
ton. This assisted emigrant, if last nights
speech is fair sample of the work he is to fur
nish the free-trade Democracy, will prove
q most expensive British importation,
notwithstanding the fact that that he comes
in duty free. His speech, as originally prepared
for him by his New York managers, and as puo-
ished in New York papers, was quite different
from the disjointed incoherent rhodomontade
of last night Evidently, this man who has both
changed his name and his nationality, has not
been properly coached before being turned loose
by his keepers: but the campaign was well under
way, and whatever was to be done had to be done
botchwork-a Democratic blunder-and
the Republicans need not harbor any
fears that Mr.. Sweeney or McSee-
ney will injure the Republican cause
or do that of the Democracy any good. His
speech last night. if it can dignifed by the name
of speech, was tumble Of stuff attributing all
his alleged misfortunes in Ireland to James u,
Blaine, and weak and flimsy attempt to deny
that he is or has recently been British
subject; though holding the Office of poor-law
guardian in the Dunfahehy district where he is
property holder, having sold out all his posses
Bions in the United States to the last cent and
removed to Ireland for the purpose of taking up
a permanent residence there.
He acknowledged that he removed to Ireland
eight years ago and told a very thin story about
finding British flag floating from his house-top
when he bought it which he took down, as he had
brought an American flag with him which he
put up on every national holiday, on the ami
versary of CALIFORNIA; admission into the Union,
and on St Patricks day.
He neglected to state how much it cost the
Democratic national committee to secure his
valuable services, and, also, as to when the
ticket-of-leave furnished by her Majestys free
trade government would expire and he would re-
turn to his office in Ireland.

INTERVIEWING A CAMPAIGN ORATOR
The following story comes from Danville,
Hendricks county: An able Democratic orator
was haranguing an audience, picturing the hard
ships inflicted ON the people by the maintenance
of the tariff. Among his audience was young
farmer, in a neat-looking suit who stood just be-
side the stand Turning to this young man, the
speaker cried Look at the clothes this gentle
man wearsl Why my friend, but for the tariff
you could have bought them 80 per cent cheaper
Yes sir; have no doubt that were there no
tariff on such goods you could have bought that
suit for $lO' 'Mebbe l could answered the
young man, ''but with tariff, the
suit only cost me $3.50" The speak
