dare attempt control Of the machinery
which operates our courts OF justice, IL ID
time toscan halt, with ballots Il possible
with grape and canister shot il neces-
sary.
The general makeup Of grand 5ufiex
IN this county is too wen known to need
comment At the present moment we
have the spectacle Of the Ring candidate
for Congress sitting as foreman Of the
Grand Jurythis LOOKS indicate, but
the Ring is oblivious to such tribes.
As il to show the power and majesty
Of the Ring, the O'Neill and Mclaughlin
associations are trot1ed about town: ii
their ranks were many poor, Respectable
city and county employees who hare q
contempt Tor the whole proceeding. but
they must obey the s.Rings masters Or
lose their places. If the power 81 these
men is allowed TO increase we may ali be-
called upon sooner or later to declare orr
selves for either the 0'Neills, the Nc
Laughlins or the FseneE Association,
and run bare legged. as did our ancestors,
after the triumphal cars Of these great
feudal despotsl We are now practically
asked to forget all orr political Injuries
and assist one side or che other il its
efforts for control Of the Ring.
ssFor al this tomfoolery and misaov
ernrnent the Irish people Of this county
are held responsible BY those who do not
look below the surface It is true TINT
these political associations bear Irish
names. but their members ara not all
Irish, and. while the two great contest
ing chieftains Davis and McIsaughlin--
are Irish and hold the two important
county Offices, yon will find great num-
beers Of ofHceholders under them Wia0 arc
not Irish either By blood or sympathy.
Yet the thousands of honest Irish labor
ing men and voters in this county are
held responsible for this state Of affairs.
I'VE are now expecting William
O'Brien and John Dillon Is representa-
tives Of ParneiI, Gladstone and that grand
est Of all political bodies the Irish Members
of Parliament. to tel Us OF Balrour's des-
potism and the political snfIsrings Of RE-
land. In all likelihood the Tory party az
England win soon dissolve Parliament ii
order 10 force the Irish peopIa, already
impoverished and starving. into the ex-
pense OF another election. In this zreat
contest we need the sympathy and CON
tributions OF the American people. Il
VIII probably be the turning point IN the
great struggle for Justice and home rule
for ireland In the name Of common
sense how can we welcome that gallant
; martyr William @, Brien, IN cur midst
and ask il his behalf the sympathy Of the
American people Tor poor Ireland, white
we tolerate the political monsters with
Irish names, who are depriving the pao-
pie Of Hudson county Of the Irish princl-
pie of home ruiel
i hope that every Democratic Irish-
man in Hudson county win leave his
home on Tuesday morning with fixed
determination to vindicate the Irish name
and Democratic principles By voting
fun Republican ticket from top 10 bot
tom The Ringsters boast that they can
always control the Irish vote; let us show
them at this election the force OF cl0nd-
burst of Irish Indignation We can then
meet these gallant Irish representatives
and turn to ali our American fellow citi-
zens for sympathy and assistance
In making this statement Of the confi-
tions ana necessities of the political stu
atiou in Hudson county, desire to avoid
personalities as far as possible.
in conclusion, believe there is but
one course left for self-respecting Demo-
Gratis in this election. namely. to cast 4
straight Republican ticket from top to
bottom McEwan and Wanser both say
that il elected they wilirecognize the facf
that it is done BY dissatisfied Democrats
and act accordingly; but apart from their
declarations, believe ii is the duty Of ali
Democrats TO take part in the cyclone of
Indignation and prepare the way for q
Democratic President and tariff reform. =
