CLEVELAND AN 1RIsH-HArER.

Affidavit by 8 Prominent Buffalo Dem- erat That Grover Cleveland Refused tO Run on a Ticket for Mayor Until Every Irish Candidate Had Been Compelled to Withdraw.
 The following afidavits, which are of course unimpeachable, reveal Mir. Cleveland
 in the light of an intense hater of Irishmen
 and Catholicism. They bear ample testimony
 to the charges of implacab1e anti-Irish and anti Catholic bigotry which have been justly made against the man who is now seeking 6 reelection to the highest office in the gift of the American people, and who, with brazen affrontery, is looking to Irish-Americans for his main support in the eastern States. Mir. Edwin 0. Robbins is one of the large num- Der of prominent Democrats in Buffalo who will not support Cleveland this year. In the course of an interview recently with Tribune representative, Mir. Robbins declared that in- stead of being such friend of the Irish as the President is protesting to be, he is and always has been bitterly opposed to them. MT. Robbins even went 50 far as to state that he heard MT. Cleveland curse and swear that she would never vote for one as long as he lived"
 This surprising declaration on the part of Mir. Robbins naturally caused 6 stir among Irishmen, particularly those who were dis posed to accept MT. Cleveland's protesta. tions of friendship to them as sincere and well founded. They were inclined to doubt the correctness of the interview and to think that MT. Robbins has possibly been misquoted. MT. Robbins was for years one of the most active Democratic workers in Erie county and did as much to help elect Cleveland as any other man in Buffalo. To settle the question of the accuracy of fha iutaTviaw Paul Flynn Of the Newark Press Register wrote to MT. Rob- bins about the matter. In reply the Buffalo lawyer declared that he had been accurately reported; that Cleveland denounced the Irish with oaths in his presence and that he (Cleve- lsnd) had actually refused to run for mayor of Buffalo until every Irish candidate-one of whom was John c. Sheenan. now secretary of the aqueduct board here and 8 brother of the Democratic leader of the assembly, had been withdrawn from the ticket which he headed. In support of these declarations MT. Robbins sent the following affidavit:

The Genial Pratt.

The saloon of Nc & Pratt, which has
stood for the past eight years on Sole
dad street, just opposite the court
house, has been popular with all
classes of our citizens almost from the
first opening day. The place has been
renowned from the fact that the best
of WHISTLES and wines in the city were
to be found there, and this alone has
made the place popular with the best
class of gentlemen. Another fact has
been the popularity of its proprietors,
Mr.. McIIvane and Mr.. Monroe Pratt.
Now the saloon has been purchased
by Mr.. Monroe Pratt, Mr.. McIlvane
retiring, and the genial Pratt, assisted
by the very best bar men in the city,
will hold down this popular saloon
and make it more popular, even, than
in the past. The change takes effect
Oh and after today, and Mr.. Pratt in
vites all his friends to call on him as
usual. 1t

GREE TINGS--AN ACROSTlC.

T he seasons greetings TO our many friends
Health, wealth and happiness, and all that
lends
Enchantment. to the co nmon lot of man.
Some few there are who through life's little
span
Arc hlest with all the rarcst gifts of God:
Nor are thew wrong to daily plot and plan
A way bv which to avoid msfOrtune's rod
No rather give him credit who compels
The hans and mishaps of his daily life.
One with the other to ring out like bells,
NonDlusing by these tones domestic strife.
Indeed TO such alone God surely gives
Omnipotpnt support and happy lives
Dearest of all the pleasures God bestows
Are those for which with hand and brain we
toll:
Indeed the blessing which spontaneous flows
Leaves nothing to enrich life's arid s0il
Yet they may sometimes adverse fortune
foil.
L CT us then this ensuing year hegin
In earnest 70 perform lifa'S noble task.
Grunbling at moth ng If we but obtain
Heats. ease and power, our share of woes to
mask
This should be all that any man could ask.

Now, We're the United States government

DO by it and its citizens, we should never
have had any Chinese laws and no treaties,
aud therefore no rejected treaty to talk

does it not DO it. The reason is obvious
enough. We want TO maintain commercial

Social piscon te nt.

In the September t'oIuDs Bishop
Huntington discusses the causes of
social discomfort and their cure. AL
though he comes far short Of exhaust
ing the subject, he contributes valuable
suggestions in regard to it, both from
the moral and practical point OF view.
The bishop thinks the chief cause OF
social discomfort in this country to be
due to the mad rush Of the many tor
the great wealth and the large prizes
which in the nature OF things can be
obtained but by very few. There is
an unprecedented temptation to use in
discriminate means 10 get up
in the world drawing thousands
Of men out of the safe.
even and sure path of contented iudus-
try. A universal scramble for place
and profit. he remarks, is nOta producer
of social peace or a school of social yir-
tue. Kindred to this pull and push is
an artificial estimate of the relative re
spectability Of different kinds Of work
While men and women are eagerly de-
termined To get rich they sre fastidious
as to the manner and fashion aud name
OF the service that is 10 accomplish it.
The more wealth the country has the
more anxious people of all conditions are
to put on the dress and style of wealth,
The more the soil yields the
less they want to have to do with the
soil. Apart from scientific phrase
ology,N says Bishop Huntington, more
of the people than ever before want
what they have not got, think they have
a right 10 it, see it to be in the possession
| of others about them who seem TO have
| no better natural right 10 it than they
| have, and believe that they can get it.
| Men and women iiuclt TO the cities from
