A Lnndslido In Cincinnn,Ii


The Chicago Netus having been informed
that largo number of Irish-American
Democrats Of Cincinnati and Hamilton
County, Ohio, had resolved to support
Blaine instead Of Cleveland, sent reporter
to the Queen City with orders to thoroughly
investigate the matter and report the facts.
In the Ners of the 10th instant he makes
his report, and it is a sumner to the friends
OF the Buffalo man. The report states that
from what he could learn there are from
5000 to 5000 of ish-American Democrats
In Cincinnati and Hamilton County, who
have heretofore been Democrats, bat who
have now determined to vote for Blaine
and Logan.
The NacS man states that various reasons
are assigned for this great change in the
political status of the class of voters re-
fered to, but the principal ones are the
tariff, and the belief that Mr.. Blaine will
inaugurate real American policy in deal
ing with foreign nations, and especially in
protecting the rights of our naturalized
citizens who may be travelling abroad. That
these changes have occurred the Nelcs re-
porter states is a fact known to all men of
both parties, who keep posted as to the
popular movements going on around them.
He also states that there is one force at
work to produce these results that is below
the surface, and unnoticed by nearly every
body but the very closest observers.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN w. p. CLARK
Brave Soldier Gone to the silent
Tents on the Other shore.

Eenis on the Other shore.
Captain William 2. Clark, of General
Sheiidan's staff, died this morning at his
residence, s26 Fourteenth street northwest
Death was caused by inflammation OF the
bowels. The deceased had been sick only
three days.
Captain Clark was soldier of unblem-
lshed character, a man whom to know was
to love. His bravery has been tested in re-
peated conflicts. His death will be lament
cd by friends in every State aud Territory
of the Union.
He was on General Sheridan's staff in
Chicago. He there gained tho goodwill
and affection of every one with whom he
came in contact. When General Sheridan
was promoted to succeed General Sherman.
Captain CLARK was invited to remain q mem.
Der of his military family. Information of
the death was telegraphed to General
Sheridan who is in New York.
The deceased's brother, John w. Clark, is
in the city. lie will leave tonight at 10
o'clock with the remains for Deer River,
Lewis County, N. Y, the homo of the dead
officer.
A detail of officers will accompany the
body. Captain Clark was born in New
York and graduated from the Military
Academy in 1865. His services were agains;
the Indians. He was on the staff of Con-
eral Crook during the latter's principal In-
dian fights. He was promoted to cap.
taincy in tho Second Cavalry in 1881.
Ho was the author OF several works on
Indian languages, being conceded to have a
more extensive knowledge Of the language
of the various tribes than any other au-
tbority upon the subject. So great was his
proficiency that he could readily converse
with the Indians of every tribe that he had
ever encountered.
He has been devotipg his time to the ar
IanRement of his treatises and compilation
OF his information concerning the Iodian
trbte. He had just com mpleted dictionary
OF TIE sign languages, which will soon be
uublisLed

Of the grandest ovations ever witnessed in

THE clouds OF calumny aud slander
which the writers and speakers Of tho
Democratic party have spread over this can
vass are entirely dissipated and driven
away, and the sunburst of truth is tri.
umphantly vindicating the candidate of
the Republican party from the vicious as
saults made upon his character. 1t look ks
now as ifthe conspirators were at their
wits end-that they have exhausted them
selves, and that henceforth they will be i'm
potent for either good or evil. They may
continue to snap and snarl to the end, but
that is all they can do. Their fangs have
been extracted and their jaw-teeth broken
And when the end comes they will dis
cover that SANDER and vituperation are
poor weapons with which to fight great
political battle in this day and generation
In another article 10 to.day's Critic a
remarkable change in the political status
of thousands Of our Irish American citizens
Of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, Ohio,
is chronicled, and it is proper to state in
connection Herewith, that intelligence of
equally gratifying changes on the part Of
the same class Of citizens as are there re-
ferred to has reached TIE CRITIC from so
many different quarters and in so many
different ways, that there is no longer any
doubt that this movement among our Irish
American friends has assumed formidable
proportions, and will be one of tho great
factors in the right settlement of the Presi-
Dental problem.
And this fact should be equally crafty
ing to the Republicans and to tho Intelligent
men among the class OF citizens referred to.
1T is not good thing for either the coun-
try or for citizens of any one national deri-
walton to act exclusively with any one po-
litical party. And especially is it true that
lrishmen who love the land of their birth,
and also the land oftheir adoption, have no
real affinity With the evils and crimes Of tho
Democratic party.
That party, as controlled and directed
during the last thirty years, has been
the insidious foe of human rights aud
human freedom everywhere. 1t stands to-
day ia this country the only organization
Il at is retroactive in its policy, and the
only one that regrets the destruction of
slavery on this continent With such u
party no real lover of Irish liberty can have
any affinity.
