IAN FRESHMAN OVERHEARD

The Era crows with a degree of cx-
ultation that is really comical. that the
Irish Vote has left the Democratic
party, and in the future it can not be
counted on for that party. If those
Irishmen who voted with the Republi-
can party should read how the New
York Mail and Express exultingly n
nounced the sad death, by drowning,
of Mr.. Jasper Douglas Pyne, who was
a member Of Parliament, and who done
SO much for the cause Of Ireland, under
the heading IAN Irishman Overheard"
probably they could form, with some
degree of accuracy, how much love the
men who run the Republican party
have for them. Now that the election
is over. it is quite likely the average
Republican editor and politician would
like to see every Irishman overheard
when he bobs up for Office.
This is the same Mail and Express
that has declared war upon the Demo-
cratic party and Southern Democrats in
particular, if they do not quietly sub
init to Republican rascality and de-
bauchery. The editor of the Mail and
Express, who is a son-in-law of the late
public be damned" Vanderbilt, wants
to damn" everything hat is not Re-
publican, although he processes to be a
deacon and a christian. Heaven was
not made for such christians"
