An Insult TO IRISHMEN.
Republican Clap Trap Which Presumes
on the Lowest Ign0-
rance.
To-Day's Grand Demonstration by the
Party of the White
Rose.
Doings In Local Politics---Meetings,
Rallies and Cos

The entire campaign now being made
in Minnesota by the Republican league
is the purest clap-trap, founded on a
lie and based on the assumption that
all voters are ignorant fools. To the
Irish-American voters, especially, their
campaign is an insult that will be re-
scented at the polls. These insolent
managers seem to take it for granted
that the Irish citizens are densely
ignorant and may easily be imposed
upon by their silly twaddle about En-
gland. They assume that all Irishmen,
to whom English rule is hateful, will be
hooked like silly fish by their cry that
Cleveland is the candidate of Great
Britain, and his candidacy is being
furthered by English capital and press
in the interest of free trade. 1t is pit
iful insult to suppose that any intelli
gent lriShman will be beguiled by such
twaddie, yet this Republican league is
sending out tons of documents with that
very purpose.
In speaking of campaign methods, on
Friday, L. f. Byrnes, president OF the
league, said the Democrats "were using
so much clap-trap in their campaign"
What excuse can he offer for such clap
trap as this English bugabOO that is
going out over the state under his di-
rectlOn?
Ali of this had a beginning. The
story was started that the London
Times had declared that 1.-The only time
England can use an IriShman is when
he emigrats to America and votes for
free trade" The story was without
particle of truth or foundation, and
was so denounced by John Boyle
O'Reilly, of the Boston Pilot, and
other prominent IriShmen, but it has
formed the basis of the entire campaign
stock in trade for the Republicans.
Roswell G. Horn, when here last month,
stated the Times had made such a state
ment. George A. Sheridan, in his
Harmonic hall speech, said the same
thing, and j. NJ. Thurston, at the Peoples
theatre, made use of a similar state
ment. Each of the three probably knew,
if he knew anything, that he was speak
ing what was not true, yet persisted in
insulting the intelligence of the Irish
vote. What does I. E. Byrnes say to
clap-trap such as this? This is but one
of the contemplate tricks resOrted to
by the Republican managers. The
Times denies explicitly that it
ever made use of an express
sion that could be even tortured
into such a meaning, and invites an in
spection of its files. Before they carry
this insult further, the Republican
league of Minnesota should inspect
those files.
As far as the documents now going
over Minnesota are concerned,
they amount to nothing. The
principal is little folder,
on one side an American flag
with Harrison's portrait, and on the
other an English banner with a likeness
of Cleveland. Above is an invitation to
citizens to take their choice. On the
strength of such as this. the Irish vote
of Minnesota is expected to desert its
allegiance to the Democratic party.
Could insult go further than this?

PROHIBITION DAY.
The Great White Rose Demon
stratiOn---Great Event in Pros

The Great White Rose Demon
stratiOn---Great Event in Pros
pect.
This will be Prohibition day in Min
neapolis. Though Gen. Fisk cannot be
present Miss Willard will come, and the
Prohibiuonists are determined to paint
the city white. If their anticipatiOns
are only half realized the white
rose party will to-day give a
demonstration that will surprise
those who are unaware of the party'S
recent rapid growth. 1.-TWO years ago, :"
said prominent party man, "we merely
held our own, because many of our
voters went back to the Republicans
rather than risk the election of DR..
Ames, but it is different now.
Our people feel that if their votes
an election, the state will be better
off than with the election of man like
Merriam, who lodged the high license
vote" There is no doubt that recently
the Prohibition party has made rapid
strides in Minnesota, and that their is
reason for their confidence that this
year their vote will exceed $4,000.
TO-day's demonstration will not be
merely a local affair. Delegations from
outside counties have already begun to
come in, and the rush is expected to-
day. st. Paul will send down ten
coaches over the st. Louis road, which
fact is hailed with Joy by the Prohibs,
who expect to pole loo votes in that
ty. The Scandinavians will be largely
represented in the line, and the Good
Templars and w. c. T..U. will materi-
ally assist in extending the display.
BrOomS will he the emblems carried and
bands will be as numerous as in old
party professions. The line of march
will be down NicOllet avenue from
Eleventh street to Bridge square, up
Hennepin to Washington, to Third ave-
nue. north, to Second street. to Sixth
avenue north. thence to Washington
and up to the Washington Avenue rink.
The march will begin at p. nj.
The meetings will be held n the Peo-
pies theater at p. M. and Washington
rink in the evening. The speakers will
be Miss Francis E. Willard, Prof. A. A.
Hopkins, of New York, and Rev.
George II. Vibbert, of Massachusetts.
Beside the band. music will be fur
nished by the Fisk and Students Nor
Wegian QuartetteS.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.
Local Matters of Interest-Meet-
ings and Announcements.

1t is given out that the Democratic
county committee will be announced to-
day. 1t is contamination devoutly to
be wished.
An idea exists in certain quarters that
as Loren Fletcher is out of the race. A.
j. Blethen will have a walkaway with
the Republican nomination for mayor.
Messrs. BOardman, Cooley and Babb
will have something to say about this.
a. ID. Smith talked of local legislation
to a Democratic meeting in the Third
ward Saturday. Smith has the Repub-
lican record down very fine.
Hon. L. M. Wilson will make trip
through the Irish district this week.
There will be meeting of the French
Democratic club tonight at the corner
of Plymouth avenue north and Tenth
street. The meeting will be addressed
in French by Aid. L'Herault, Judge
Tester and others.
Rev. w. j. Martin made prohibition
speech at Chestnut hall yesterday after
noon.
S. NJ. Finch will address the Seventh
Ward Blaine club at Association hall
this evening.
Three aldermen are to be elected
from each of the thirteen wards in the
city the 9th of November, and as the
last legislature increased the salary of
an alderman from $500 to $720 year,
the next city council will cost the tax
payers for the item of salaries alone the
sum of S2S,OSO per year. Two of the
aldermen from each ward will be elected
for the term of two years and the other
one for the term of four years.
The taxpayers, however, expect to cut
down avOapSnS lac Iapic stating ont nf
Office the aldermen elected for the two
year terms, and have a council consist
ing of one alderman from each ward
and four elected at large. Some par
ties claim that seventeen aldermen are
not enough for a city of this size, but
on investigation they will find that
it is as many as most cities of this size
have, and that the great city of New
York, with nearly million and half
of people. has only twenty-four alder
men.

An Evidence of Life.

An unexpected symptom of life and
work was seen on the government
building on Saturday. Erected on the
roof for the purpose of hosting stone
for use in the central or main tower
was a huge derrick, with an arm ex-
tending out some thirty feet. An orna-
mented stone had been attached and
the machinery started, when the
derrick arm gave way with
a crash. The huge piece of
timber cracked like a match, and the
iron work of the roof trembled with
the recoil. Fortunately the stone
had just lifted from the ground and
was not injured by the fall, and the
workmen had gotten out of the way.
The crash attracted a great crowd to
the building and brought into view a
great many wOrkmen, which evidence
of work YVES hailed with satisfaction.

OFFICERS ARE ABSENT,
And the Switchmen Take No Ac'
ton i'm Their Demand,

And the SWitchmen Take No Ac-
ton i'm Their Demand.
AT the meeting of the switchmen held
yesterday afternoon the matter of max
ing a formal demand on all the railroads
centering in this city and st. Paul for
the adoption of the Chicago scale of
wages, which is $500 per day for help
ers and $3.50 per day for foremen, was
the subject under discussion. The
switchmen employed here and in
st. Paul have been receiving
1925 per day for helpers and $3.50
per day for fOremen, and they claim
that these wages are less than the
wages paid in the railroad yards of any
of the other large cities, although, on
account of the severe winters which we
have here, 1t costs the Switchmen more
to live than it does in the cities of Chi
cago, st. Louis and Kansas City, where
the Chicago scale of wages is in force.
The matter was quite thoroughly dis
cussed, but, owing to the absence of the
officers of the SWitchmen's association,
who are out of the city, nothing
definite was decided OIL, and the whole
matter was laid over until their return,
which will be within a few days. The
switchmen employed in these two cities
say there is no good reason why they
should not be as we'll paid as in other
cities, and there is little doubt but what
the railroad companies will investigate
the matter, and if it is found to be
as the switchmen claim, that
they are paid smaller wages than
are the switchmen in all the other large
railroad yards in the country, the COM
panies will undoubtedly agree to give
them an advance of wages. The deci
sion of the supreme court, which sus-
tains the order of the McGill commits
sion, reducing switching charities to 81,
without regard to whether a car is
switched half mile or five miles, will,
however, cause the railroad companies
to lose money even at the present rate
of wages maid SWitchmen
