One of Them Writes About a Mean, Con-

Editor Morning Gail: l have patiently
waited for some time in the hope that some
one better qualified than / am among the
Irish-kmericans Of California would reply
TO the insult now icing cast upon them by
and through journal called the Examiner
10y publishing day after day letter purport-
ing to lave been written by the Hon. H. H.
Markham conveying the idea that the gen.

thinking people, and sometimes, like other
people, ask questions. Does the Examiner
give the names of the lrishmen who were
discharged by Colonel Markham, or even
one OF theIu? No; but Mr.. Russell j. VII

The Democratic party is aware of the fact
that the Irish hold the balance of power. 1t
was with that understanding the scheme
was cenrocted Such a proceeding will
prove more detrimental than seryiceable to
their cause. The Irish have for a long
time been disguised with them. They in
vafiably down their best men, whether ma
tive born OF adopted, when placed on their
State ticket. Their boss Ia disliked and
they propose to crush him. There are many
reasons for this, but the most conspicuous is
that at the convention held at Los Angeles
in 1883 his henchmen, called delegates, voted
In body against the nomination OF Jere-
miah +. Sullivan for Justice of the Supreme
Court. Then Tarpey was defeated and
Bartlett elected, Frank J. Sullivan was de-
frated and FELTON, elected, Ferral defeated
and Morrow elected. Then came the
worst stroke of all. Harrison was
