This Blaine mess gets dirtier almost dai

business is still making respectable Blaine
voters blush and tear their hair and here al
meeting in Fairview, n. j., the other
night Mr. Kobbe, "a lawyer Of that city and
relative of Mr. Warren Fisher, read the
following letter from that gentleman:
WINDSOR, VT, July II, 1894.
In April or May of 1880 Blaine sent word
to have me meet him at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. He then authorized me to get the
letters from Mulligan, pay ten thousand
dollars if | could not get them for less, and
then wanted Mr. Mulligan and myself to
go to Europe snd remain until after cleo
ton at his expense Mr.. Mulligan declined
the offer, He said Blaine had stolen his
letters in Washington; he never should
have what he held at any price
WARREN FISHER.
The Pennsylvania anti Blaine republi-
cans rightly say in their address: "The
republican party triumphed because it was
the party of moral ideas. II has now, by
the selection of its standard bearer, become
the party of immoral ideas, and only defeat
can regenerate IT," The nomination of Mr.
Blaine is n disgrace to the country, His
election, fortunately, Is no longer possible

whi,more--An Ottawa Boy.

We want to say one word for this nomi-
nee for Recorder. In the few years that
he has been absent, living in MENDOZA, he
has borne IA high character for fidelity and
integrity, both in private life and in public
office. He is yet comparatively young, and
poor. He has no money to trade In office
with. But he has manhood He is indus
trious, frugal, honest, courteous. He is
strictly temperate, and has always been.
He Is no saloon man, and no infidel.
Women who have sons and brothers for
whose sake they would have exemplary
men for public trust, incentives to self
help, free from vicious habits, modest and
true, may make note of him as one of that
sort,-one nominated to Office just because
he was worthy of it, and of the help it
would bring to him.

why Desert when the Right j. Won

As pertinent To this question the BoStoH
Pi2ot reasons with Irish voters MS follows;
The arguments used by the Republicans
10 induce Irish Americans TO desert The
Democratic party are answered In one
question: wig Mould zee icdce om party
ao,c Mm its ho,W IF cifmy has comeF.,
What has the Democratic party done
for Irish Americans ~ asks one OF those
who have gone over 10 the Republicans.
i il is meant, what office has II given them,
the answer is Obvious: a party that is not
in power has no offices 10 give AT least,
let the Democratic party have chance To
prove itself
The Republican party has been in power
for over twenty years, and II has excluded
Irifh Americans from every public office
and honor that il could, both in the state
and the Federal governments, Now the
time has come for the Democratic party To
take the reins, and Irish Americans have,
at least a fair show of public recognition
The Republicans however, turn To them,
rs a drowning man clutches at a straw, and
say: Desert your party and come TO our
lid. Keep us in Office, and we will he
your friends
DO the Republicans think that the Irish.
Americans are fools as well rs traitors? III
we are to depend on promises, we will take
the word of the party TO which we have
been loyal, rather than the party which
has been disloyal an inimical to Us, Why
should we leave the Democratic party
when the object for which we have worked
for twenty years is within our reach? To
oblige the Republicans To make that
man President who as Secretary OF State,
Congressman, local partisan, has been the
particular Republican against whom we
have the deepest grudge? Nonsense!
Irish Americans are going to vote as they
have voted since the WARRIOR the party
which has been true to them inprinciple,
and which will be true TO them in its
power and practice, remembering their
loyalty in the days of its defeat
