Organization is strength" the Irish
American Union of which am President
was formed in New York To prevent
repetition OF what has caused trouble
within our party for twelve years past.
A few men and papers have protited by
claiming TO control the Irish American

bad ones who have false reasons to give

American Democrats. All are good.

have been deceiving and cajoling the peo-

any class; but simply to show that he is a
strong, brave American, who fully under
stands the exalted station Of the humblest
American citizen, no matter of what race,
neither Irish or English, and that he
dares to, and will, defend them In their
sacred rights. God has blessed him with

of Presidents he will rank with Jefferson,
Jackson, Lincoln and Tilden. / mention
Tilden's name, becaue he was an un-

of its work. We have quietly pursued
our purpose, and will modestly retire from
