La Democracia

el jefe de los revolucionarios espanoles
don Manuel Ruiz Zorrilla, manifesto
que ha sulfurado 4 los conservadores.
Viene ese manifesto 4 decir que Ia
revolucion IS necesaria para salvar &
Espana lie Ia bancarrota, Ia miseria Y
ell desbaraiuste que reina por todas par
tes; que Ia Republica no tiene NADIA que
temer del ej6rcito, porque este 10 que
desea es que Sc lie organize y Sc reforme
v que Sc suprima todo 10 que es inutil
V abusive, V la Republica hara este Y
mucho mas; que ell estado de La Marina
cambiara para gloria y bienestar de la
Armada; que la Repdbica vivira IN
paz con la iglesia cat6lica; que ell pa
voroso problema de la question social
Sc resolvera facilmente, siempre que a
Ia RepGbEca no Sc la ponga en- eI case
de hacer uso de los canones Y el cadal-
so para castigar 4 los crimi.lales; que
Ia union de Espana Y PortE gal la cree
indispensable que Ia Repdbhca ira
bajara activamente por ella; que asl
mismo trabajar5 sin descanso por Ia
alianza estrecha entire Francia Espa-
ma, como base principalisima para la
union de todos los latinos y por dlti-
mo, que para que todo ese yasto plan Sc
realize, es de todo punto indispensable
que desaparezcan las diferenclas que
separan los distintos partidos repu-
bhcanos V que Sc unan entertainments.
81 fueramos q guiarnos pOr nuestros
sentimientos republicanos, desde luego
que no tendrfamos obiecciones cue hacer
al manifesto. Pero como antes que re-
pubicanos somos puertorriquenos, y
nuestro objective principal es ell progre-
so de nuestro pals, Y ell senOr Ruiz
Zorrilla, al hablar de las Antillas, NADIA
de SECURE nos ofrece, su manifesto
no puede entusiasmarnos.

muy vago. Con este no Sc comprome-
ten a NADIA De donde Sc deduce, que

In the Union there are revolts

that is paralyzing many industries

An Absurd Claim.

The address issued by the Irish
American Democratic Union. re-
Gently organized in this city fairly
exposes the appeals which have for
several years been made to Irish.
Americans to support the RepubIi-
can party on the pretense that it
would IN some way aid the cause of
Ireland. 1t not only shows the alb
surdity of the claim that the Irish
cause would be in any way benefited
by the support of the Republican
party, but it declares 1t to be nm
American, as well as unwise, for
any body Of citizens to be guided or
controlled in their political action
OF any consideration except that Of
patriotic duty toward this country.
The purpose Of the IYish-Ameri-
can Democratic Union is we'll sum
med up In the protest against the
statement that the success OF the
Republican party ''means benefit
to Ireland and in the assertion
that the success Of the Democratic
party will be "for the best inter
ests OF all the American peoples
1t is evident that the appeals to
Irish prejudices have lost their eff
feet in our politics this year, and
that the observation-disclosures look upon
their political action, not With ref
erence to its imaginary effect on the
other side OF the ocean, but with
reference to its reel effect on this
side. They are called upon to act
simply as American citizens. New

FRIDAY. OCTOBER 81. 1898.


Mr.. CleveIsnd's Letter Pieases Them
Mr. Cleveland's letter of accept.
snce has been the general topic OF
discussion in political circles since
it Was issued. The universal opin-
ION 10 that it is q paper of excep-
tionsl ability aud has been very
widely read. The opinions Of many
eminent men concerning it have
been given to the public. Here is
What ex-Secretary Whitney briefly
says:
cit is an admirable presenta-
ton" "of the principles and doc
tfine OF the Democratic party. He
deals with the leading issues con-
cisely and ably. His attitude on
the tariff is in accordance with his
oft-repeated declarations on that
subject. The document has been
generally commended"
Don III. Dickinson, Chairman of
the Democratic Campaign Commit
tee said:
"Guided by some sound funda-
mental principle which is touched
upon at the outset of every PROPOSE
ton, MIR. Cleveland has stated his
convictions in his own direct, sim
pie and forceful way. Whatever
criticism his opponents may pass
upon his letter, it certainly will
not be said of it that the writer
does not say what he means or
mean what he says. Those whose
wish was father to the thought and
who predicted any expression in
consistent with his past record will
be disappointed. Such prophets
were ignorant Of the character of
the man who was to write the let
ter.
'"There is no authority citel to
sustain his position, and none is
needed to carry conviction to pa
triotic intelligence. There is no
danger that the evidence on which
any of his promises rest will be
burned while the hunt for it is go.
ing on. ! don't think the people
who trust Mr.. Cleveland, who be-
lieve in his honesty, his fidelity to
trust, and his splendid courage, will
have any fears Of a wildcat cur
rency after reading his letter.
