THE FRENCH ELECTIONS.
Exclamation of the D sires of the Diff rent
Wings Of FIR nch Politics.

LONDON. October 6.-rhe French election
returns will be made more intellisibe to
mauy American readers by brlef state
ment of the attitude OF the various pontl-
cal parties. The conservatives, who nave
made extensive gains, are the monarchlsts
OF one faction or another. Some Oh thein
are adherents OF the Comte dc farls'
others of the Bonaparte family. Ihey
would like to see mOnarchlal government
restored in France. The republicans, or
moderates, are supporters of the present
ministry with Brisson and DeFreyclnct as
representative leaders. They are likewise
partisans OF M. Jules Ferry, who was for
merly prime minister. The radicals look
to NJ. Clemenceau as their leader. 1hey
are as eager as the mDnarcnlSts ior Vne
overthrow of the Republic, but only Ghat
they may give the government more rauio@'
leanings. The republicans wish to main
tain the parliamentary form OF government,
but the radicals wish to abolish the senate
and substitute in it's place the chambers as
at nressnt instituted, some body IKE tne
old convention of 1888. The loss OF seats
bv the republicans will lead to a recon-
struction OF the present ministry. IL see'ia
doubtful at this moment whetner d lille
try can gather around it working inaIoii:y
in the new chamber. Shrewu "osei vi, - M

"' some Irish Americans Think of
the Oratory Scheme.

BUFFALO, New York, October 6.-Rev
ratner Cronin and James Moonev. Of this
sl.y, VINO are among those named by the
t teGII,g last night in New York to proceed
" " ATeiand ior the .urpose of assisting in
.ue achamentary canvass there, express
1helr dlsapproval OF such a course. They
agree with Alexander Sullivan that the
4rlsn people need funds, not orators, and
eney iaVor the policy OF aiding Ireland in a
olrect way where she is poor.
ALEX. sULLIvAN's IDEA.
CHICAGO, October 6.-Alexander Sullivan
ex-presldent OF the Irish National League
OF America, was seen at his home by an
associated Press reporter, who showed
nm an account OF the proceedings at the
meeting OF the New York Irish Americans.
ana asked him the question point blank,
Wll you go?" very promptly came the
reply: mo, l shall not 60, because l see
no benefit to be derived to the movement
OF such a visit. The people of Ireland are
not suffering for oratory, and do not need
to be urged to support Parnell. They un-
derstand the Irish cause too well, and they
realize the necessity OF organization and
united action. They need moral and ma
terial aid from kindred in the United States.
much better service than visiting them in
Ireland can be rendered to the Irish people
by the gentlemen named in your list if they
will proceed to enlarge the membership OF
The league in the United States, and to raise
funds to aid Parhell, first in electing and
second in compensating the members OF his
party after their election. After that If we
have surplus OF energy and funds we
ought to aid in establishing art and indus
trial schools and by other means to re-
vive the Industries and commerce OF Ire-
land. There would have been some cour-
inn II %1n i
and speaking plain English in blunt Amer
lean style concerning the English cowardice
in suppressing free speech. Now Ireland
enjoys free speech. When she docs, how
ever poor she is in all else, she is rich in Or
atory. favor the policy OF aiding her in
directions where she is poor; that can be
done better in this country thanfn Ireland"
FINNERTY ALSO DECLINES.
CHICAGO, October 5. - Ex-Congressman
John F. Finnerty being asked tonight
whether he would accept an invitation ten
dered him to visit England and Ireland to
work for the Parnell party during the COM
ing campaign, said he had received no inti-
nation that any such scheme was on foot.
Without giving any reason fordeclining Mr..
Finnerty said he should probably not be
one Of the proposed party.
JOHN DILLoN's ADVICE.
DUBLIN, October 6.--John Dillon, presid-
ing at meeting OF the National League to-
day, warned tenants who contemplated
tue immediate purchase OF land not to pay
more than the amount of ten years rental
for the same. The people, he said, must
either pay or fight for the land and the
price he Indicated was in his opinion fair
compensation to the landlord. He an
nounced that the Parliament fund
amounted to $4,000.
The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1885-10-10

Revels to the President in sup port OF his
assertion. He premlsed it's res ding by
stating that Revels was a colored minister
and Republican: He had
SERVED IN THE SENATE
with him and found him to be man OF
education and respectahility. He was
Republican, but his strongest wishes were
for the prosperity and happiness OF the
colored race. He then read the letter
which, after stating that the blacks were
naturally Republicans, said they had heen
imposed upon and robbed by petty scoun-
drels and unprincipled adventures until
they had risen in their might and over
thrown their oppressors. The letter closes
az follows: 1.-THE bitterness and hate
created by the late civil strife have, in my
opinion, been obliterated in this State, ex-
cept, perhaps, in some localities and would
have long since been entirely effaced were it
not for some unprincipled men who would
keep alive the bitterness OF the past and
inoculate the hatred between the races i'll
order that they may aggrandlze themselves
by Office and its emOluments to control the
people, the.effectlof which is to degrade them.
/ gave.you my opinion that had our States
administration adhered
TO REPUBLICAN Principles,
and stood by the platform upon which it
was elected, the State to-day would have
been on the highway to prosperity. If the
State administration had advanced patri-
otic measures, appointed only honest and
competent men to office and sought to re-
store confidence between the races blood
would have been unknown, peace would
have prevailed, federal interference would
have been unthought OF and harmony,
friendship and mutual confidence would
have taken the place OF the bayonet." The
speaker then read Grants last message as
read to his old companions in arms in
Napier, Illinois, by Colonel Fred. Grant,
and closed his speech by saying: II have
not the time to speak OF State politics, ex-
cept to say that believe a good license law
would be the best solution OF the liquor
question In 1851 voted against the pro-
vision in the Constitution forbidding license
and have not changed my opinion since.
In a word, you have State ticket COM
posed of competent men and one that was
fairly nominated. l earnestly appeal to
you to give it your warm support. l think
it is your duty to show by your votes that
you have confidence in the existing admin
istration of the Federal Government. In a
word, do your duty and your whole duty
and never despair OF success
