The Duke of Argyle has an article in
the August number of the North-Amerl-
can Review entitled 'Light on Home
Rule for Americans" The Tory aristo-
crat gives false light, as can be seen when
he states that the Conservative party is
fighting the same battle the Americans
fought against secession, that many of
the Irish Nationalist leaders are pure
anarchists on all questions connected
with property, and that all grievances in
Ireland have been removed. The Duke
says that if Home Rule be granted he has
no doubt but that in many parts OF Ire
land powers of plumber would undoubt-
eddy be given to local bodies in which
priests would reign supreme over an
ignorant, superstitious, and dependent
population of peasants, and of anarchical
fanatics who may be of any religion or OF
none. To win his American readers over
to his way of thinking he says he was in
sympathy with the North during the Re-
bellion, for he felt the North was in the
right and that the cause of civilization
was at stake in the success of the Union.
He then pours some hot shot on the head
of Mr.. Gladstone and declares that all his
utterances have been grossly one-sided
and partisan in character, and very often
they have been in absolute defiance of
the facts, but that he attributes to the
fanatical passion with which he has taken
up what seems mania to the Tories.
And so the noble Duke goes on in seven
pages of the Review. It is safe to say
that few, if any, of his American readers
will accept his version of Irish Home

CHAIRMAN Campbell of the Democratic
state central committee says in pub
lished interview that no scheme for fusion
with the Peoples party has yet been
talked of by the committee. If fusion
were to be carried out in this state Mr..
Campbell thinks the Donnelly party
would rather swing to the Republicans
than to the Democrats. He believes that
without fusion the Democrats stand a
better chance than either of the other
parties do. He is confident that matters
are favorable to the presidential electors
for Cleveland, and all he desires is that
the Peoples party may indorse Demo
cratic nominees for congress.

Mrs. DELLA PARNELn, the eyed mother
of the late Irish leader, has not yet for
given Gladstone for his treatment of her
distinguished SON. The other day in an
interview in New York the old lady said
that Gladstone would break his promises
to Ireland and never grant Home Rule.
She has more confidence in the Tories
and thinks they, will give Home Rule
after Gladstone is driven from power.
Her son John was beaten for parlia-
mentary seat in Wicklow last week. The
Parnell family have lost their prestige in
Irish politics, but it will be kindly remem-
bered long after the present generation
has passed away.

SIR CHARLES dixie, after forced re-
tirement from public life during the past
seven years or more, was elected by a
large majority to take a seat with the
Liberal party in the next parliament.
He was accused of an immoral act some
what of the same nature as Parnell was
charged with, ard was compelled to make
atonement by abstention from public life.
Had Parnell retired temporarily from
the leadership of the Irish party instead
of pursuing head-strong course and
manifesting no repentance for his fall
from virtue, be would have been alive to-
day and be forgiven like Dixie.

The Peoples party have nominated the
Hon. John T.. Macdonald for attorney
general of Minnesota. No better nomin-
alton could have been made. He was
Judge in the eighth judicial district for
several years and gave eminent satisfac-
ton. He served one term In Congress
from the Third district and distinguished
himself at the national capital. He is
one of the most capable Democrats in the
state and the distinction he has gained
at the bar, on the bench, and in congress
entities him to the honor conferred upon
him by the Peoples party. We trust his
nomination will be endorsed by the
Democratic State convention.

twenty. Ia fourteen contests between
the Irish factionists it Is stated that
the expenses Of the Parnellites were paid
by the government party. Notwithstand-s
ing this fact the Parnellites were nearly
effaced, and the principal men among
them, such as Pierce Mahoney, Kelly,
O'Connor, Edmund Leamy and others,
we're driven from public life. The Ma
tionalists had offered them twelve seats
without contest but Tim Harrington
contemptuously declined their generous
proposition. Though United Ireland de-
MES that there was much violence during
the elections, there is no doubt but there
we're disgraceful scenes witnessed in
many places The organ OF the Parnell-
ties, in mitigation of their wrangling,
points to the attack on Gladstone and
other candidates in England and Wales,
and declares that the irish are not whit
worse than other people during the heat
of campaign. It also says that at the
Minneapolis convention the opposing
sections of the Republican party in this
country were unable to settle their diff
ferences without row, and that the
Democratic convention in Chicago if held
in Ireland would have been described as
a Donnybrook Fair in the English and
American papers. There is no doubt of
it. The reports of the American conven-
tions wired to Europe we're certainly ex-
aggerated, for no violence OF any, kind
was witnessed at either convention.
There was much enthusiasm, but no
stones were thrown, NO sticks used, and
no physical encounter took place be-
tween delegates or spectators. Now
that the Parnellites have seen how weak
they are in national contest we hope
they will be satisfied with the verdict
pronounced by their countrymen and
cease further strife and dissension. We
are afraid they are not patriotic enough
for that. It has been demonstrated to
the world that they are an insignificant
faction, and if they continue in their mis-
chievous career they will be branded as
traitors to Ireland by every friend of that
country. Parnellism is dead, and it is
folly, ia view of the result of the elections,
to attempt it's resurrection. God save
Ireland!

The Evening Tribune publishes yarn
to the effect that Hon. M. Doran, the old
war horse of the Democratic party in
this state, would rather sec Republican
elected for governor this fall than Dem
ocrat, SO that he could have the exclusive
power Of distributing the political pat
ronage in Minnesota in the event of
Cleveland's election. Any one with a
particle of common sense who knows the
political career5of Mr.. Doran need not be
told that suchaa story is an emanation
from the facile pen and fertile brain of a
Republican reporter.

A CHICAGO man wrote letter to Gro

the plank in the Democratic platform re-
lating to the tariff. He received prompt
reply under the presidents signature
saying that no sincere advocate of honest
tariff reform can be dissatisfied with the
declaration of the national Democracy on
that subject, and that no one need fear
that the contest will not be made on the
lines laid down, which have already
proved so acceptable to so great major
ity of the people.

POPE LEO, receiving pupils of the pro-
paganda the other day, referred to Arch
bishop Ireland and praised his many
virtues, his vigor as thinker, and his
energy in action. The Pope called him a
true Republican and genuine Democrat
who had done good work for the Church
in France since leaving Rome. The re-
marks of His Holiness were received with
enthusiasm by the students and other
persons present, and have made a pro-
found impression as showing that the
Archbishop has the confidence of the
Pope.

SATURDAY, JULY %, 1892.
MINNESOTA FOR CLEVELAND.

The most sanguine Republican has
grave doubts of the success Of
his party in Minnesota this year.
The Republicans of the state saw
with their own eyes the shameful
manner in which Harrison was nomin-
ated in the Exposition building by the
office holders of the administration and
the negroes of the Democratic states of
the South. That humiliating spectacle
they have not forgotten, and are not
likely to forget during the term of their
natural lives. 1t was a lesson IN practi-
cal politics that has caused thousands of
honest men to lose confidence in the
purity and patriotism of their leaders.
Since the eventful day upon which Har-
rison was preferred to Blaine, gloom
has fallen on the Republican party of
this state. They have lost all enthusi-
asn1 They cannot be induced by the
incessant calls Of their party organs
to get up q ratification meeting Tor Harri-
sou and his running mate. Many of them
have gone so far as to say that they prefer
Cleveland to Harrison, and that If they
vote at all they will cast their ballots for
the Democratic nominee. 1t is not,
therefore, surprising that the st. Paul
Globe lis confident that Minnesota can
be carried this year for Cleveland If the
Democrats only do their duty. Its hopes
are based on the following facts and
figures ''In 1880 Garfield had 81 per
cent of the vote of the state; in 1854
Blaine had SO per cent; in 1888 Harrison
had 81 per cent; in 1890 Merriam had 36
per cent, Wilson IS per cent and Owen
"a per cent. A change of one per cent
would have elected Wilson; change Of
2 per cent would have given the state to
Cleveland. That is, change OF one man
in the one case and of two men in the
other out of every one hundred men
would have carried the state the other
way" There is no doubt at all but that
the Democrats of Minnesota will make a
vigorous campaign and surpass any pre-
vious efforts they have made. AT the
convention in August the democracy OF
Minnesota will put it's best men in the
feld-men of unquestioned ability and
unblemished reputation. The Demo
cracy of this state is enthusiastic for
Cleveland and will labor unweariedly
for his success. His speech at New
York on last Wednesday evening is
statesmanlike utterance which will en-.
dear him moro to the people, irrespective
of party. It was the keynote of the
campaign. The prospects for victory in
this state were never brighter than they
are in this presidential year. If Cleve-
land fails to get the nine electoral votes
of this state it will only lessen his ma
jority over Harrison. New York is sure
for Cleveland, and the other reliable
states will fall into line and land him
safely in the White House for the next
four years.

GEN. JAMES r. O'BEIRNE is a New York
Repub lean and office holder who recently
wrote magazine article on the "lrlsh
Vote" and attempted to show why Irish
Americans should support the Republic
can party, which has kept himself IN q
lucrative Office since the close OF the war.
The Boston Republic replies at length to
the soph1stries of Gen. O. Beirne and says:
When the Irish were weak in numbers
aud without votes or Influence they we're
stoned and prosecuted, and ostracieed by
Wings, Free Sellers, Know-nothings and
bigots. The Democratic party, true to
It's everlasting principles of equality and
justice, espoused their cause, prevented
the passage of hostile legislation and es-
tablished them on footing of independ-
emit citizenship. The Republican party,
as the successor of all these defunct par
ties, is still the party Of the classes. The
Democratic party is the party of the
people, the party of fair play, low taxes
and individual liberty. Intelligent Irish
Americans will support it as long as it
stands for these principles; and will OPP
pose the party of monopolies, trusts and
combinations, organized to Cypress the
people and to set up class of million
aires upon the wreck of labor's hopes and
aspirations That party is the party OF
the Carnegies, who Cypress their work
men and cut down their wages that their
own millions may be increased.

MR.. C1EvELAND's ADDRESS.

Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: The
message you deliver from the national
Democracy arouses within me emotions
which would be we'll nigh over
whelming if did not recognize here as
sembled the representatives of great
party who must share with me the re-
sponsibility your mission invites. find
much relief in the fact that have been
selected merely to stand for the princi-
pies and purposes to whichsmy party is
pledged, and for tho enforcement and SUI
premacy of which all who have right
to claim Democratic fellowship must
constantly and persistently labor.
Our party responsibility is indeed
great. We assume a momentous obliga-
tion to our countrymen when, in return
for their trust and confidence, we pro-
mise them rectifcation Of their wrongs
and the better realization of the advan-
tages which are due to them under our
free and benefcent ms; buttons.
But if our responsibility is great our
party is strong. It is strong in it's SYM
pathy with the needs of the people, in it's
insistence upon the exercise of govern
mental powers strictly within the consti-
tutional permission the people have
granted, and it's Willingness to risk it's
life and hope upon the peoples intelli-
gence and patriotism. Never has great
party, intent upon the promotion of right
and justice, had better incentive for Of
fort than is now presented to us.
Turning our eyes to the plain people
of the world, we see them burdened as
consumers with tariff system that un-
justly and relentlessly demands from
them, in the purchase of the necessaries
and comforts Of Life, an amount scarcely
met by the wages Of hard and steady
toll while the exactions thus wrunR
from them build and increase the for
tunes. Of those for whose benefit This IN

notification of their nomination for the
presidency and vice presidency of the
United States by the great Democratic
party. The place of meeting was Madison

capacity on the occasion. Chairman

having addressed the ex-president, the
latter arose and replied as follows:

to whose aggregate wisdom and patriot
ism their welfare can always be trusted.
In a tone of craftsmanship which BELTS the
occasion, let me say to you as equal part
ners in the campaign upon which we
today enter, that the personal fortunes
of those to whom you have entrusted
your banners are only important as they
are related to the fate of the PRINCIPLES
they represent and to the party which
they lead.
I cannot, therefore, forbear commend
ing you and all those attached to the
Democratic party, or supporting the
principles which we profess, that defeat
in the pending campaign, followed by
the contamination of the schemes our op-
ponents contemplate, and accompanied
by such other incidents of their success
as might more firmly fix their power,
would present most discouraging out
look for. future Democratic supremacy
and for the accomplishment of the OBJ
jects we have at heart. Moreover. every
sincere Democrat must believe that the
interests Of his country are deeply in
volved in the victory of our party in the
struggle that awaits us. Thus patriotic
solicitudes exalt the hope of partisanship
and should intensity our determination
to win success.
This success can only be achieved by
systematic and intelligent effort on the
part of all enlisted in our cause. Let rs
tell the people plainly and honestly what
we believe, and how we propose to serve
the interests of the entire Democratic
country, and then let us, after the man
ner of true Democracy, rely upon the
thoughtfulness and patriotism 81 our
fellow countrymen.
It only remains for me to say to YOU,
in advance of more formal response to
your message, that i obey the command
Of my party, and comic IDENTIFY anticipate
that an intelligent and earnest pfesenta-
ton Of our course will insure d opnlar
Endorsement q the party you present.
