 THE CAMPAIGN.
 Finer illumlnations were never seen in Stafford than those which lighted up the borough last. Friday evening. The pro- cession was notably long Tone, and pa raded the principal streets, bringing up at Oronoco Hall, where Senator Hawley made rousing speech, increasing the al- ready overbubbling enthusiasm of the boys.
 Senator Hawley was the guest of Hon. ulius Converse last Friday night. An announced lecture by Thomas F. Myers, of Collinsville, on ''The Irish in America, and their relation to politics" drew considerable crowd at Oronoco Hall on Monday evening, curiosity as to the light in which the question should be presented on the eve of presidential cleo tion being the main attraction. MT. My CTS announced himself to be Jeffersonipn democrat, who stood with Randall and other protectionists. He couhselled inde- pendence of action on the part of Irishmen ito vote and act as Americans, not as Irish ali good citizens of this country were alike Americans. He would not tsupportan Irishman for office sim ply because he was an 1rishman, and would quickly resent the spirit that would deny place to a man because he was Irish. An Irish born American should stand on his own merits like any other American. He assailed the Mills bill, but finally came to what seemed the main object of his ad- dress-an attack on Congressman Vance, primarily for his attitude on the Mills bill, but more particularly for his connection with slights put upon Irish people, the na- ture of which those interested were invited to examine, with proofs accompanying, and after the meeting many did so. It is said that the grievance was the appoint ment of another man to the postmastership of Collinsville that Myers was the choice of the greater number of the voters of Col Iinsville of both parties. and that in reject ing him the congressman went out of his way to express .disrespect of the nationali- ty and religion of the applicant. Myers is a bright young Irishman, and compelled the close attention of an audience at the outset largely out of sympathy with him. MT. Myers is visiting various parts of the district, and is in the work because of hls hostile feeling to Mir. Vance, paying his own bills, and making his own appoint ments. 6 <-@-
