An freshman to Irishmen.

speech to Irish Americans at New York,
said:

We came to seek liberty The republican

opposed it, We made the hills of Ireland
echo with cheers for O'Connell when he
struck the shackles of serfdom from the
limbs of black men in the West Indies, and
we came to America and cast our votes solid

The NOn-Partisan G.. A. II.

Editor Rennebec Journal:
An article in a recent issue of the New
Age, over the signature of "Veteran," and
entitled The Partizan G. A. r., - does injus.
tice to the q. A. r., perhaps, without intending
it. Veteran" says, ''the entire machinery
of the Grand Army is passing into the hands
of republican office holders and politicians, !"
and asks IF this were not so, would the
dsgraceful scene be witnessed of detach-
ments of the G. A. r doing escort duty to
political speakers? Could such thing occur
unless the commander of post sanctioned
it ?"
If it be true that the entire machinery of
the G., A. r. IS passing into the hands of re-
publicans, one of two things must be true ;
either the members who are democrats neg
lect the duty of attending the meetings, or a
majority of the members are, or are becona-
ing republicans, for majority vote elects
ali officers of the G A, r. 1t "Veteran" is
democrat he probably will not admit that
majority of ex Union soldiers are republicans
much less that any considerable number of
democratic ex-soldiers, or members of the
q. A. h are becoming republicans. The
remedy then is easily at hand; let the demo-
cratic members be more punctual in attend
ance, and control the machinery themselves
As to the "disgraceful scene" of "detach-
ments of the G. A r. doing escort duty to
political speakers" such action agree with
veteran" cannot be too strongly condemned.
Veteran" may know of more than one use
of this nature, but | have not learned of but
one. the case where detachment of one Post
of the G. A. r. appeared in uniform as es
cort, namely at the republican meeting at
Strong. In this case portion of the men,
bers of post paraded under command of the
Post Commander, who was informed bv a
subordinate member of the post, the officer
of the day, who happened to be republican.
that the rules prohibited anything like politi-
cal action, but the Post Commander, rho
is democrat, thought he had a right TO take
out his command, and did it. in spite of all
protest, and boosted to an officer of the G.
A. II appointed to investigate the matter.
"My Post was the only Post there" Surely
veteran" will admit that the machinery OF
this one post is not passing under republican
control. and its democratic commander could
not have intended 10 have intimated to all !:
'We are Grand Army men, but republicans. :"
As to the good taste OF "parading
with political badges" surmounted by
the G. A. r. badge, l take no issue
with Veteran" further than to state that
every member of the G. A r. has right to
wear his badge publicly and conspicuously

honorable position he has indicated in his
communication to his Amherst constitu-
ency. 1t is frank, manly and brave, and
will elicit responsive sentiment from the
great mass of his party in the district.
We expect to oppose Mr.. Tucker because
of his tariff views and political Identity
We shall do so on the distinctive position Of
his tariff sentiments and the platform and
candidates of his party. We shall work to
defeat him or any other candidate the
Democratic party may select, and hope to
do so, because the Democratic party is
committed, substantially, to free trade,
and its success, as we believe, would be
harmful to the country and especially Vir-
ginia. If the Vaadicator wishes to rebuke
Mr.. Tucker for his opinions on the tariff
question and attest the sincerity of its con-
victions in favor of protection, let it join
us in an effort to break down and defeat the
Democratic party-strike at the root OF the
eYil-and not lop off one of the limbs, while
it leaves the trunk untouched, with the free
trade virus permeating it's entire length
and breadth and in every other twig and
and branch.
If we are to have a Democrat, we want
one whom the people will understand. that
they can put their finger on-who is not
afraid Of the traditions and record of his
party-a regular, out-spoken Bourbon,
who believes it right TO be Bourbon, and
who will vote in Congress as he speaks at
home. Mr.. Tucker fills this bill. His can
didacy would draw the lines between the
two parties, so he who runs may read. He
believes the Republicans are wrong on the
tariff question. He believes the Demo-
cratic party, with its positive free-trade
tendencies. is right. He believes with
Cleveland, Hendricks, the Chicago plat
form, with Watterson, Carlisle. Morrison
and Hurd on this subject, and has the
courage of his convictions. He is not
afraid to go before the District and defend
the Morrison bill and his vote for it. and
to condemn the views of Mr.. Randall and
his forty acknowledgements members who
voted against it. nor to arraign the Re-
publicans because they believe in protec-
tion to American industries and Ameri-
can labor. We will not have to beat
around the bush to find where he is. He
will come to the front-stand to the Chi
cago nominees point to the free-trade
platform of 1876, 1880 and 1884, and the
free-trade candidates, and appeal to til
Democratic party to be true to itself and
its history on the tariff issue.
Mr.. Tucker will be the nominee of his
party in this Dstrict-he will be repre-
sentative Democrat, and will be opposed
by a Republican, standing on Republican
platform and supporting the Republican
candidates. If he is beaten the defeat
will be understood. If he is elected there
will be no room to speculate as to what
such verdict would mean.
