Hosts of Detected Irishmen
From the Chicago News.


John F. Finerty and his Irish-American
friends really regretted Mr.. Blaine's with
drawal. Mr. Finerty laid aside his Democ-
racy four years ago to become Blaine
Republican, and many of Mr.. Finerty's
friends followed him into the camp.
There's general sentiment of regret
among my friends said Mr.. Finerty, that
Blaine is out of the field. We admire him,
not because of the erroneous impression tina,
Blaine would send the navy and an army to
England, but because of his brilliancy and
boldness. No man ever drew so MANY warm
friends to himself, and no man ever drew SC
largely from the Irish vote In New York
The Irish World" edited by John Ford has
been for Blaine for i've or six years. 1t has
also. been a great protection paper. Ford
knocked Henry George out when George wa,
power. THE New York Tablet anothel
Irish-American paper, was for Blaine. Will
few exceptions, the Irish-American press OF
the country, if not entirely for Mr.. Blaine
was at least friendly to him."
Twill the Irish voters be satisfied with ne
other candidate?"

cred any other candidate. | don't know any
other man who would suit us as we'll.
think Mr.. Blaine may be nominated yet.
don't see why he should not accept a spon
taneous nomination"

gressional intrigues and combinations.
Whenever q nomination has been at
tempted in this way, bad mess has been
made of it. More than sixty years ago
Congressman wisely RENTED the work Of
Presidential nominations to the people,
and to them this duty properly belongs.
The atmosphere Of Washington is not con-
genial to wise popular action of this kind.
That atmosphere is not the product Of
the free, unfettered airs which come from
the hills. the prairies, and the two oceans.
The prospects of Republican success in
the approaching contest are highly en-
couraging. 1t il of the utmost Importance
that the nomination shall be the spon-
taneous, unconstrained choice Of the Re-
publican masses. Never before was this
demand so manifest and so imperative. 1t
is time that all fully understood, that the
people, and not the aspirants, should make
the nomination. The Republican party
needs to fully imbibe the spirit of Rome
In her best days-thOse whom Romans Sc
lect for high posts of duty must know nc
obligations. no personal interests nor con-
venienee. but those of duty TO Rome. The
Republicans of Maine believe that their
distinguished statesman will be ready to
perform whatever service shall be as
signed to him BY the voice of his party AT
the present crisis of the industrial and
commercial interests Of his country
Those who speak for Mr.. Blaine and for
the Republicans Of Maine in any other Ian
guage and spirit than this, if such there
be, utter words which they are not au-
thorizcd to speak.

WINGED
John W. Mason of West Virginia, De-
clarine that Mr.. Blaine VIII Obey the
Call of his Party.

WHEELING, Feb. l6-John W. Mason
West Virginia's member of the National Re-
publican Committee attended the convention
of Republican Clubs to form State League.
Speaking of Mr.. Blaine's letter. he said tina.
he was not wholly surprised, remembering
how reluctant Mr.. Blaine was TO go into the
last campaign. Had he consulted his avn
wishes" said Mr.. Mason, ahe would no, have
permitted his name 10 go before the conven-
ton. thought at one time that he would alb
solutely refuse the use of his name. He
finally yield at earnest solicitation of friends
who thought it was best for the party and
the country. So ! can readily understand
his feelings now. 1t is his earnest desire to
pass the remainder of his life quietly and
peacefully, free from the strifes and per
plexities incident to political life. d. not
think the letter will have any effect whatever
upon his nomination. The real conditions
upon which his nomination depends are not
changed in the slightest degree by his letter
Mr.. Blaine does not want the nomination.
He would rather be private in the ranks !;
but, if called to command, he has too much
patriotism to refuse. He will still follow
the voice of that party which he has served
so long and so we'll"
