ITS MISSION FAILED.
Minneapolis Irish-Americans and
Catholics Denounce the "Or-
ange' Circular.


ange" Circular.
The circular issued by the Republi-
con state central committee and mailed
to Catholics, especially Irish Catholics,
throughout the Northwest has failed of
its effect in Minneapolis. 1t will
undoubtedly act as boomerang here,
as it should. The adoption of such
despicable methods never yet made votes
for the party reSOrting to them. This
circular has not only made no votes for
the Republicans in Minneapolis but has
on the contrary, called out bitter denun-
citation. Yesterday afternoon largely
attended meeting of Irish Americans
was held in the First ward and action
was taken on the matter. There were
unanimously elected chairman. a COM
mittee having been appointed to draw
up resolutions, the following was SUBJ
mitted and unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the IriSh-American
Democrats of. Minneapolis do hereby
denOunce the vile and ScandalOus action
of the Republican party, through It's
state central committee, in issuing such
an Infamous and vulgar circular, ella NJ
ing that the Hon. Thomas Wilson,
Democratic nominee for governor of the
state of Minnesota, is member of, OF
| in any way connected with, any Orange
or Anti-Cathoiic society; be it further
Resolved, That re pledge ourselves
| to do all and everything in our power to
secure the election of Hon. Thomas
Wilson as governor of the state of Min
| nesOta. Be it further
Resolved, That we appeal to the Irish
| American voters of the state of Mime
sofa to stand by Hon. Thomas Wilson
| first, last and all the time. Be it fur
| ther
Resolved, That we will do all In our
! power to elect every nominee on the
Democratic state, county and city
| tickets, and especially Hon. Joe Ingen-
| hutt, alderman from the First ward.

| That circular also called forth the fol-
| lowing vigorous protest aud sensible
comment from Roger Vail. who is as
| familiar with the workings of Orange
| societies as any man in the state:
1.-The circular issued In the name of
Irish Catholics is the most foolish and
| contemplate thing in the whole cam
paigD. The fellows who concocted it
| are very stupid, as well as mean, and,
| COIti oty " CApCCtdIiOUS, IL WILL ueID
| Judge Wilson instead of injuring him.
True Instantaneous never ask and
never care about the religion Of any can
didate for office, and none but knaves
and fools would think of appealing to
their supposed prejudices to injure any
honorable man. The race from which
Judge Wilson has sprung has produced
some OF the grandest patriots of Ire
land. No Catholic Irishman can ever
forget ihe names of Orr, McCracken,
Sheares, jackson and other Presbyter-
ians of the North. who died OH the
scaffold for love of ireland. To-day
there is in Belfast home rule organ
cation composed entirely of Presbyte-
rams, and Parnell has selected Henry
Knox as parliamentary representa-
tive. If Judge Wilson was an Orange
man. as falsely alleged. he would be in
eligible for any Office, for an Orange
