why Temperance Voters
Should Vote with the Republican Party
And not Against 1t.

And not Against 1t.
EesS York Independent Religious.
We commend all earnest temperance
voters to the consideration of these
points of the present situation
/. The republican party in great
majority of states has committed itself
by resolution and in practical legisla-
ton to the cause of temperance. The
democratic party, both in convention
and legislature, supports and upholds
the saloon in all the northern states.
2. The republican party in national
convention declares that the "first con-
Germ of all good government is the vir-
tue and sobriety of the people and the
purity of the hOme," and expresses its
cordial "sympathy with all wise and
well directed efforts for the promotion
of temperance and morality" The
democratic party in national conven-
ton has declared again and again its
hostility to all "sunIptuary" (meaniDg
prohibitory) legislation.
3. The third party stands for nation
al and state prohibition only. 1t COM
mends local option and demands, not
for economical reasons but for the in :
terests of temperance and virtue, the
immediate abolition of the internal
revenue system.
Your vote and influence must 60 to
one of these parties. If your conscience
drives you from the republican party
OH account of the internal revenue
plank, how can you go into the third
party, which demands the uncondi-
tiOnal and immediate abolition of that
whole system If you can do this,
yOu deceive yourself; the tender point
in your conscience is not temperance,
but the tariff. If you join the demo-
cratic party, you declare your oppOsi-
ton to temperance legislation, and set
an example of ludicrous inconsistency.
The logic of the situation is not to be
resisted : A vote for the democratic
party is vote for the saloon f.; a vote
for the republican party is a vote
against the saloon. Between these
two parties lies the only actual choice {:
for either Harrison, who is pro-
nounced anti-saloon republican, and
the nominee of temperance party, or
Cleveland, pronounced anti-sumpt-
uary-legislatiOn democrat, and the
nominee of saloon party, will be
elected. The votes that count for
Harrison and temperance will be those
that are cast for the republican party !;
the votes that count for Cleveland and
the saloon will be those that are cast
for the democratic and third parties.

Apropos of Nantucket, one hears
some rather odd sayings and some
quaint happenings there.
"You see, we are somewhat out of
the way" said one of the islanders );
$50 tramps seldom troubles us, and it
is only when our summer visitors come
that we think of locking our doors at
night"
Last fall man was tried for petty
larceny, and sentenced by the judge to
three months in Jail. A few days af-
ter the trial, the judge, accompanied
by the sheriff, was on his way to the
Boston boat, when they passed man
saving wood.
The sawyer stopped his work, touch
ed his hat, and said, "Good-morning,
judge"
The judge looked at him moment,
passed on short distance, then turned
to glance backward, with the question,
"Why, sheriff, isn't that the man 1
sentenced to three months in Jail Z"
eyes," replied the sheriff, hesitating-
ly-"yes, that's the man but you
you see, judge, we've haven't any
one in jail now, and we thought it a
useless expense to hire somebody to
keep the Jail for three month just for
this one man so l gave him the jail
key, and told him that if he'd sleep
there nights it would be all right"
General Washington, while visiting
New York in the fall of 1876, was ac-
costed one day on Broadway by a fif-
teen-year- old beggar, who asked the
General for aid, saying that he was an
orphan, with paralytic father and a
dying mother to support.
"Sir," said Washington, fixing his
eye sternly upon the beggar, "you may
have judged from your reading in the
newspapers that l cannot tell a lie.
Sometimes the papers mistake. l can
tell lie when hear it, especially one
SO transparent as this. Had you
claimed to be so blind that you could
not see where your supper was to come
from, might have been persuaded to
give you nickel. AS it is, the boy
who would deceive the Father of his
Country is unworthy of my aims. 1
wish you good-evening."
The beggar was SO affected by Wash
ington's noble words that he immedi-
ately joined the army, and soon be-
came one of the best spies in the SER
vice.
A former Governor of large city in
Japan, after spending an evening at a
friends table with several companions,
was unable to find his carriage, and
deter mined to walk home. Losing his
v ay, however, in the narrow, winding
streets, he applied to policeman to
direct his erring footsteps. To his
surprise the solemn functionary could
not solve his perplexity. He was not
acquainted, he said, with the location
asked for. A happy expedient sug-
gested itself to the inquirer.
"Be good enough to direct me to the
residence of the Governor of the city,"
said the Governor.
81 don't know where that is either"
responded the policeman.
"What not know where the Gov
ernor lives 2 1 shall report you to-
morrow. l am the Governor"
"Well," was the caustic rejonder,
chow do you expect me to know
where You live if you don't know
where you live yourselfP"

REPUBLICAN journals are seeking to
make capital out of letter sent by the
English minister in this country IN reply
to what purported to be letter sent by
an Englishman in California seeking adj
vice as to how he should vote in the COM
ing election. The letter from the Cali
fornia Englishman was forgery-evl-
IDENTIFY the work of some republican who
sought to trap the English Minister Lord
Sackville West into an expression of
opinion favorable to Cleveland's admins
tration and then use it to cajole the Irish
vote. It is such a transparent fraud, and
its coarse trickery and purpose is such a
reflection on the Irish people, that every
Irishman in the country should resent
it by voting against the party which
would countenance such dirty trick of
which they are to be the gulls.
The letter to West goes on to state
how well pleased the Englishmen in this
country are with Clevelands' administra-
ton because of It's friendliness to Eng
land and its hostility to the Irish. That
mother country and that Englishmen
regard the President as their best friend.
But they do not like his retaliation mes
sage and want to know whether Lord
West thinks the President means what
he says about retaliation. The whole
letter, in short, is recapitulation of the
silly nonsense that Cleveland thinks more
Of England than he does Of the United
States.
West was simple enough to fall into
the trap and answered that any political
party which favored England would lose
popularity. That no one knew what
course Cleveland would pursue in the
matter of retaliation, but that he would
deal with the subject in a spirit of con-
citation.
Then the trap was sprung. The whole
thing was arranged. A mass meeting of
tie Irish of New York was arranged for
the evening of the day on which the trap
was sprung. Blaine Vas to address them
and he came loaded with the West letter
and the forgery to which it was an
answer. The Irish were treated as a lot
of suckers who were to be caught with
this bait And Jim Blaine for whom the
Irish have always had friendly feeling
stopped to the dirty work Of treating
them as if they were pack of fools
whose votes could be won by an acknowl-
edged forgery
How any Irishman having respect for
his manhood can act with the republican
party which seeks to win his support by
means which show the low estimate
placed upon his intelligence, it is diff
cult to understand, If there were Irsih-
men in the crowd addressed by Blaine,
who felt that their nationality should
not be thus insulted and that an Irish
man can be won to the support of meas
ures and of party by other means than
being duped, they should have hooted
him off the platform. The plot is an
insult, a coarse, objectionable insult to
Irish people, and as such every Irishman
should regard it.

county ticket is working for the national
democratic ticket upon whose success de-
ponds the institution of the reforms men,
tined. Every man nominated on the re-
publican county ticket is working for the
success of the republican national ticket,
and upon its success depends the perpet-
uation of the wrongs this county, in COM
mon with all others, has suffered in the
matter OF taxation for the last q years.

burden continued? The local nominees

LOCAL dissension in general election
is certain to injure the national ticket.
Boiling for any other cause than lack of
qualification is inexcusable and is sure
to result in permanent dissensions. There
is not candidate on the democratic
ticket who is not certain of an election
It is but poor satisfaction to simply re-
duce the majority. The parties who
encounter opposition within their own
party are apt to retaliate when oppor-
tunity offers and thus endless strife re-
suits. Unftness or lack of character
constitutes the only eXcuse for boiling.

THE Pilot has admired Blaine for his
brains and has had something akin to
friendship fer him because of his sup
posed sympathy for the IRISH people.
But when he becomes party to the dis
reputable scheme of working upon the
Irish people as if they We're SO devoid of
in diligence that the only way to secure
their support is to dupe them, he deserves
to be classed as a dirty demagogue and
an unprincipled whelp. 1t is the most
despicable means yet adopted to win the

The tug was blown into fragments and it

THE dirty, mean estimate of the Irish
people which prompted the writing of
the letter TO Minister West should
arouse the indignation of every Irishman
against the party in whose interest it was
done. The Pilot has always insisted that
it would be better for the Irish people if
they could divide on party lines. But
when party seeks to win their support
by an attempt at dipping them every
Irishman should protest. Nationality
should play no part in an election unless
nationality is grossly insulted and that
is the case In the present attempt to win
Irish votes for the republican party.
