CHAMPIONS OF IRELAND.

The coming of O'Brien and Dillon to
Boston will be one OF the most Intense
ly interesting events of the coming
month. No two ENJOYS from Ireland
have ever appeared in this country un-

When Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien
reach our shores they will be more sur
priSed than pleased to find that Mr..
Balfour has succeeded in turning the
tables on them completely at home, and
with an admirable stroke of policy die
tated apparently by the most generous

The accounts from Ireland of Mr.. Bal

has gone over there partly under the
sting of John Morley's denunciation of
his abSenteeism, but in greater de-

THE BUFFERS BLUFFED.

Whether elected or defeated, Gov

liyered from his fool friends who
sprung that Irish Catholic circular on
the public and got him into a trap
from which he can never eXtricate him.
self. What squirming the Republican
committee are doing to free themselves
from the responsibility, and what lying
the party organs are doing to relieve
the Republican party of the infamy of
the act. 1t is all useless to sauirm or
lie any more about it. The thing is
done, and the reaction has set in. 1t
was done by the Republican managers
with the intention to injure Judge
WILSON. 1t has reacted, and hurts Gov.
MERRIAM worse than it does Judge
WILSON. That is all there is of it. That
cock and bull story in the evening
organ about the typewriter copy of the
original circular on the letter paper of
the Democratic committee being OIL eX-
hibition in the Dispatch Office turns
out to have been the practical joke of a
bright young newspaper reporter, who
took the copy that Marshal CAMPBELL
gave him, and which had been prepared
for the press, and palmed it off on
Chairman FITZGERALD as. something
that had been surreptitiously obtained
from Democratic headquarters. In
their desperation to do something to
stay the tide of Indignation that had
been evoked by the circular, the county
managers rushed off to the Dispatch
Office and had co-ealled exposure
printed, none of them realizing until it
was over that they were being played
for suckers by the newspaper man.
Then there was that bluff made by
Chairman HEATWoLE and Secretary
BIXBY of the S25,0OO to be paid to any
person who would furnish the evidence
that the Republican committee had any
knowledge of this circular. When Mr..
DoRAN called the bluff by proposing to
see them $4,000 better, they threw
down their hands in disgust and refused
to sit any longer in the game. 1t was
the sguarest back-down in the world.
Oh. what miserable tactics these fellows
have resorted to, and how cowardly
they are in all their infamy.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
That Is the Bone of Contention in
Wisconsin,.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. 3.-What-
ever the result of to-morrow's election.
it will have no significance as far as
national issues are concerned. The con-
test is entirely on the Bennett law,
passed by the last legislature, re-
quiring compulsory instruction in the
English language. Both parties claim
the state, and the result may be con-
Sidered doubtful, because no one can
tell how many Lutheran Republicans
will vote with the Democrats, or how
many Democrats will vote with the
Republicans. TheAcontest has been a
bitter one, with the Lutheran and
Catholic churches arrayed with the
Democrats against a compulsory educa-
tion law,and never before in the history
of the state has any church taken so
active an interest In politics. Peck was
elected mayor of Milwaukee last spring
by nearly 1900 plurality. largely by the
clerical vote, which left the Republican
party on the school issue. To this
fact he owed his nomination for
governor, but it Is not believed
he will carry this county to-mor-
row by more than 5000. The new elec-
ton law will make the count in the
state very slow tomorrow night, and
returns will be late. The vote will be
compared with that of two years ago,
when Hoard (Rep.) received 1869;
Morgan Dem.), l55, ,424; Durant Pro.),

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Nov. 3.-Fire
was discovered at 8 o'clock this morn
irg in Heuter Bros. q Co.'s paint shop
under the Grand hotel. The fire spread
rapidly, and the hotel was soon In
flames. There was great excitement
among the guests, but they all escaped
safely. The flames spread rapidly
throughout the basement of the block
bounded by Market, New Montgomery,
Stevenson and Second streets. and then
spread to the first fioor, occupied by the
Hall Safe and Lock company, Hill d
Goldman, druggists supplies; the board

pany. The smoke i'll the mean
time had aroused the inmates of
the Grand and the Burlington
hotels and the frightened guests rushed
to the sidewalk with what valuabes
they could carry. The fire soon shot up
through tie freight elevator in the rear
of the Grand hotel. and disastrous
conflagration was looked for. The gen
eral alarm brought the remainder of the
fire department to the scene. The front
of Bueter Bros. & Co.'s store blew out
with a loud explosion, and large vol
umeS of smoke poured out, almost over
coming the firemen. Jacob Underhill,
wine merchant, was overcome by the
smoke in the Grand hotel, and was car
ried ont unconscious. Cashier Weeks,
OF the Grand, who is crippled, was al
most overcome when he was assisted
out by the elevator boy. There were
several other narrow escapes. By
o'clock the flames had spread along the
eastern end of the block, bursting from
the roof and windows. The wind was
slight, and the efforts of the firemen to
confine the fire within the block occu-
pied by the Burlington and Grand no.
tells were successful. About o'clock
che roof of the Burlington hotel fell in,
carrying part Of that of the Grand. In
a short time the interior of the BurIing-
ton was a complete wreck, and the
front of the Grand On Market street, to-
gether with the eastern end, adjoining
the Burlington, was also a ruin. The
western end was saved. The first floor
of the Burlington on Second street was
occupied by G. II. Hirst, millinery and

A WEAK INVENTION.
Oh, What an Affidavit-Affrigh
Republican Telegrams.

Republican kilograms.
After four hours OF perspiring and
agonized conference yesterday, the
Republican state committe issued its
''affidavit" in relation to the Irish
American circular. This affidavit was
furnished the Republican papers. but
carefully kept away from the GLOBE,
forthe simple reason that it was so alb
surd and fiimsy that they knew the
GLOBE would let daylight through it.
The affidavit is not signed by Secretary
Bixby nor any member OF the commit
tee. Oh. no. Nor is it signed by
Howard. the man who is to be
in the event of Freaney's election,
which is further off than the
millennium. Tams Bixby does not deny
that he read and y. KID the proof
sheets. In brief. it is signed by Bacon,
a man who has been in the city but
three weeks and is made the scapegoat.
The affidavit denies nothing, and leaves
the committee in worse shape than
ever. 1t virtually comedies all that Mr..
Doran charges. by making no denial.
1t is the poorest apology for a political
blunder that was ever made, and it is
shrewdly conjectured that Dave
CiouSn pIoiaiiity Was catleu out ny
the affidavit.
The abject alright of the Republican
committee was best expressed in the
hot haste with which they fred out
kilograms to prominent Republicans all
over the state, as follows:
do your best to keep our people in lineand
prevent stampede. Charge the Irish circu-
lar to the Democrats, or it will cost us
thousands of votes in every direction. We
must stop its effect at any COST
AS for the man Howard, this is his
second failure as a political manager,
and he will now sink from the public
gaze. He will never be anybody's
deputy, for the defeat of Freanev was
conceded by the Republican county
committee last night. In fact, the

BLAINE IN THE CITADEL.

Should QUAY be able to pull his man
through the fight in Pennsylvania and
fulfill his unguarded boast that he
would own a governor, he will owe his
salvation to JAMES G. BLAINE. That
entreaty made by him at Philadelphia
Saturday, to the protectionists of the
state, was tinged with the pathoS of in
tense desire. In no part of the country
is the old BLAINE mania greater than
i'll Pennsylvania. although the mana
gers Of the Republican party there have
often used it in their own service before
that of BLAINE. If QUAY comes out of
the great struggle that has seemed
going so heavily against him with his
political fortunes not wrecked like his
personal character, he will be base in
CRATE not TO give BLAINE the chief
credit. No evidence has appeared that
the travels and eXhortations of HARRI-
son and REED disturbed the swelling
revolt in Pennsylvania. If it has been
turned back so fan as to save the state,
it will be due to the personal influence
of BLAINE, with his words of warning
to the friends of protection. There is
plausibility IN his presentation of the
situation. The Democrats in PennSyl-
vania are in full accord with the party
in the nation in the tariff reform cause.
BLAINE shows that he cannot rise above
partisan mendaclty IN asserting that
they are for free trade. He asserts that
their candidate for governor is free
trader. The phrase is supposed to have
In the great protection state about the
same effect as the word abolitionist in

with all the world is the vision
OF theorists, but practically i'm
possible in this country while three
or four hundred millions of dol
lars must be raised to meet the re-
quirementS of the government. Mr..
BLAINE but initiates the small stump
ers and praters of his party in asserting
that free trade is the purpose of the
Democrats. The MILLS bill IS stand
ing refutation of that. But he knows
that the Republicans in that state keep
protection in the first article of their
political faith. Thousands of them have
been In the crusade against bosSism and
QUAY, and the Democratic candidate
for governor has made his fight on state
issues alone. Before the sometime

there is no question that QUAY's man

cent picturings of him are of growing
robustness. These SAVIOR of purpose to
be physically up to the requirements of
the situation. But, without regard to
the future, there was much in the line
of attack upon QUAY's man to invoke
the sympathy of BLAINE for him. His
experience had episodes that called for

HOW TO VOTE.

Vote the Democratic ticket.
And vote it straight.
Put an Y mark opposite the name of
the first Democratic candidate on the
ticket, fold your ballots so as to leave the
initials of the election officer exposed,
and then hand it in to the election
judges. In order that there may be no
Misunderstanding on this point we quote
section 81 of the Australian election law,
which is in force in the cities only:
when an elector presents himself for
the purpose of voting, one (D of the
judges of election, after ascertaining
that he is entitled to vote, shall tear
from the blocks ballot of each kind that
is to be voted, place his (the iudge's)
initials upon the back of the ballots and
hand the same to the voter, who shall
retire alone to one W of the compart-
mentS above mentioned, and there pre-
pare his ballot by placing cross (A)
mark opposite the name of each candl-
date for whom he wishes to vote, in the
place upon the margin left for that pur-
pose. Provided, however, that any
electOr who desires to vote for all the
candidates nominated by such party or
organization may make a cross (X)
mark near the head of the ballot, in the
proper place, opposite the name of some
one candidate nominated by such party
l, rod
his ballots as indicated he shall then
fold them so that the face of the ballots
will be concealed, but so that the ini-
tials of the judge may be seen upon the
back. and coming from the compart-
ment shall hand the ballots to one of the
judges designated by them to receive
ballots, who shall deposit the same in
the proper boxes. The elector shall
then retire from the voting room or
compartment"
There will be three ballots furnished
the voter at this election-one printed
on white paper, one On blue. and one on
red.
The white ballot will be the state
ticket.
The blue ballot will be the county
ticket.
And the red ballot the legislative
ticket.
The Democratic voter will want to
mark his white ticket thus:
THOMAS WILSON, Democrat. x
The blue ballot should be marked
thus:
RICHARD T. O'CoNNoR, Democrat. x
The red ballot should be marked for
state senator on the Democratic ticket.
The only exception is in the case of G.
H. BENEDICT, whose district includes
the county outside of the city limits,
and his name will be printed on the
county ticket inside of his district.
There are urgent reasons why every
Democrat should vote straight ticket.
We will name some of them:
First-Because it is right.
Second-Every vote for a Democratic
cratic principles.
Third-A vote for Republican can
didate is an Endorsement of the infa-
nous MCKINLEY bill, of the force bill,
and of all the outrageous legislation of
the Fifty-frst congress.
Fourth-It isnot time for personal
friendship or individual prejudice to
stand in the way OF party fealty or de-
votion to party principles. 1t is the
time to show that you are Democrat
by voting the Democratic ticket, and by
voting it straight.
All your interests are at stake in this
election, and display your manhood by
subordinating your prejudices to your
convictions.

Will be for governor, lieutenant gov

Justices of the supreme court, comp
trolier, treasurer and number of other
state officers, as well as six members OF

also to be elected, and more than the
ordinary degree of interest is taken in
this latter contest, as United States
senator is TO be elected at the
next session of the legisla-
Republican, besides the regular
Republican and Democratic tickets.
Inc American and Prohibition parties
nave formed combination, and placed
state ticket in the field, and the Unit
ed Labor party is also represented in
the state contest. The latter parties,
however, have not made a very active
compalgn, and the real contest will be
between the Republican and Democratic
nominees. The Republican candidate
Tor governor is Henry II. Markham, of
Los Angeles county. and the Democratic
nominee is E.. B. Pond, the present
mayor of San Francisco. The chief
issue of the campaign as expressed in
the platform of the two parties is the
reduction of state taxation, the Repub-
cans having declared in favor of a
maximum rate of so cents on $l0O yalua-
ton and the Democrats having made 45
cents the maximum rate. About two
weeks ago, however. the Democrats
brought another issue into the campaign
by producing letter which purported
to have been written by Mr.. Markham
several years ago, In which the writer
used an expression which seemed to in
dicate his preference for Chinese labor
over Irish labor. Mr. Markham's
friends denied the genuineness of the
letter, but the Democrats have insisted
that Il was authentic, and the controversy
over 1t has recently oyershado~ed the
issue of taxation. Both parties express
great confidence in victory tomorrow.
but not many definite estimates as to
majerities are INDUCED in by either
side, and it is generally believed the
election will be a close one.
