not expect me to do violence to those i'm
pressions by shaping my administration ia
a mold 30 narrow and unpatriotic. 1t is
neither American nor Republican, for ex-
ample, to legislate for or against particular
races classes or classes of men -Tseeing
that the Declaration of Independence, to
which am candid subscriber. plainly de-
clares that all men are created equal aud
endowed by their Creator with certain
alienable rights, among which are life, lib
erty and pursuit of happiness l-snd it is
not less un-American and unrepubli-
can to uphold economic system

istrate, will, as in duty bound, execute the
laws but l will likewise exert all the infiu-
ence of my Office, within legitimate bounds,
to prevent or rectify the often intslerable
expressions and inequalities which my fell
low citizeDs have to endure under the forms
of law; aud to that end, depend upon it, if l
am elected, the common welfare-not the
welfare only of this or that favored class
will be kept steadily in view"
A little of this spirit of manly independ-
ence on the part of our foremost public men
would stir the country like the blast of a
trumpet 1t is mistake to suppose that the
great body of the people are unable TO ap-
preciate the moral courage of public men, be
they may. which prompt them at great crises
to adhere to principle, at whatever cost. On
the contrary, not unfrequently that moral
courage has been the stepping stone to an
enduring popular favor, after it has met and
resisted the first inconsiderate impulses of
disdain or disfavor. We are disposed
to think there is at this moment
more than one Presidential candidate
who will live long enough to realize
this truth when il is too late. Instead of de-
spising or rising above the compromising de-
vices of the average platform, they have
chosen to right down to them. Aud the de-
scent, too, has been pretty far down. Prin-
ciples are thus satisfied to expedIency with
out compunction. and in the eagerness to
win the sweet voices of the unthinking
multitude, the standard bearers oGtdo even
the camp-followers in their seville prostra-
ton. The spectacle, it must be confessed, is
not an agreeable one; nor are the reflections
which it suggests to the contemplative mind
in its bearing upon the future of public
affairs such as to inspire in any sense senti-
ment of satisfaction

represents all that is venal vicious and bad
in politics. He knows that Doxey's ignor-
snce of public questions is a burning aud
blistering shame and insult to the voters of
the Ninth CongresSiona al District. For these
reasons this Govern ment official of high
standing in the Republican party refuses to
support the bucket-shop boss. Many other
good Republicans entertain similar views
and will not support Doxey. Also, Doxey
hates and despises Democrats. In this city,
pending the election of a school trustee
Doxey made use of the following language
about Democrats:
would suffer the loss OF myg-d id right arm
before would vote for Democrat. I
would not allow any Cd did Democrat to talk
to me about the election of a trustee.
The above is his precise and exact remarks.
This is the manner he whites Democrats.
This is the man, vino, without a single quail
ficatioH, asks the voters to send him to Con-
gress, but the Democracy, with the assistance
of the honorable Republicans, will relegate
him to obscurity, and will elect a man in
whose ability and integrity the people have
confdence-and that man is Hon. Thomas
b. Ward. MADISON.

1t has been philosophically observed that

express purpose OF affording the writer's an
opportunity of becoming, III 50 they choose

adapting their views of public measures
and public policy as nearly as possible to the
extreme narrow-gauge previously laid down
for them by the too often self-c0nstituted
party dictators.
Men of mediocre minds, and men who are
swayed simply by selfish ambition or per-

How They VIII Vote.
ISL. Lolis Rcoublican.l


Mr.. S. b. Mccormick returned yesterday
from SIX weeks trip in Illinois and Iowa,
where he has made it point to take Obser
vstions regarding the political situation.
Said he TO a Republican reporter yesterday:
The Irish in these two States, with very few
exceptions, are ali for Cleveland.a In nearly
every town that l visited the ITsh portion
Of the population denounced Blaine in the
strongest language, and declared that what
ever promises were made to try to
influence the Irish vote would
be dishonored in the same manner in which
he left Michael BoytOn to pine in an English
dungeon for twenty months. The circum-
stances connecting BOyton with Blaine is
fresh in the minds of the Irish. BOyton was
arrested at the house of his aunt in Kildare
and lodged in Kilmainham Jail. Two
months later his paper of American citizen
ship were forwarded to Minister Lowell in
London, from whence a cory was sent to
Washington, together with his discharge
after three years service in the Union army
as an officer. Mr.. Blaine was the man to
decide the right OF American citizenship
there and then, but he absolutely refused to
say one word in behalf OF this Irish American
soldier.
Then there is the McSweeney matter.
which Irishmen cannot readily forget. Nc
Sweeney's case also came before Blaine,
when he drew the distinction between native
and foTeign-born citizens. insolvency, of
course, WAS born in Ireland, but came TO
San Francisco thirty-ive wears ago, took out
his papers and settled down in business
there In the fall of 1879, together with his
family, he decided to purchase farm in his
native county, Donegal. He sold out his
business for SO 900 aud removed to
Ireland. Shortly after his arri-
val he was invited to attend a
land league meeting, for which he was ar
rested and placed in Kilmainham Jail. AL
though his wife wrote to Blaine several
times, and forwarded his naturalization
papers to Washington, he was left eighteen
months in Jail. But that was not all; his
property was confiscated and his cattle driven
off his land for unjust taxes"
You think, then, that Blaine will not get
much of the Irish vote?'
II think he will get fewer Irish votes thay
any Republican candidate for the Presidency
in twenty years"

Raw materials for manufacturing purposes
will not only give us the control of our home
market (which is our sheet anchor) but in
which we are CLOSELY competed with, and in
many things undersold to-day by importa-
tons. but will enable us to enter the mar
diets of the world with our surplus.
If you tax the raw materials of which your
goods are made, how can you make cheap

How are we to enter markets near to us
