The Irish standard., 1894-11-03
CLEARL Y DEFINED.
Statement Of the Situation Rela-
tive to the Senatorship in the
Twenty-ninth District.
JOHN T. M'GOWAN'SATTITUDE

| He Would Injure the Entire Democratic
Ticket III Order to Vent His Spleen
Against Joseph L. Kiichli.
/ At last the situation is clearly defined
in the Twenty ninth senatorial district
and the fight on Kiichli by the personal
/ followers of ex Alderman John 7. Nc
4 Gowan, numbering not to exceed fifty
Democratic voters, under the leadership
of their willy chieftain is on in full force.
/ This was the action taken at 8 meet
I ing of the sh-American club held last
1 Tuesday evening, which was attended
by ffty-two members Notwithstanding
! the fact that 200 cards were sent out
strongly urging the attendance OF every
member of the organization. The forty
six votes cast for the anonymous resolu-
tions denouncing Kiiehi, which the
coward who wrote them was ashamed
! of and dare not sign his name thereto,
represent the number of votes which
! the Irish Americans Of the First ward
will cast against Kiichh. OF these there
are half dozen Republicans, and near
lily as many more of McGowan's relations.
/ OF the remainder we viii! admit chat
there are among them a number of ex-
cellent gentlemen Who have been lead to
believe that race war existed in the
|Twenty-ninth district, and that the
Germans had no time for t 20 Irish and
turned down their candidate at every
opportunity. 1t is here and now that
The IRISH STANDARD lays before it's
readers the following indisputable Facts:
First-That the attempt to inaugurate
q race war against the German element
by John IT. MCGOWAN and a few of his
personal followers for the purpose OF re-
yepge because he failed to secure NOM
nation, is not endorsed by the Irish
American voters of the. Twenty ninth
district nor by one-tentE Of their num-
Der.
Secondhand attempts we're made by
Representatives Of the Republican party
to purchase the influence Of The Irish
STANDARD against Joseph L. Kiichii and
Jacob Foell.
Third---That THE IE1sH STANDARD
fatty refused to entertain any proposition
Of that nature, and lis Row supporting
Mr.. Kiichli for the reason that we know
beyond any question that he was not
responsible for the defeat Ct John Z.
MCGOWAN in the convention; and lastly,
that OUT attitude Ill this matter is one OF
principle alone, and 40 financial consld~
GRAFTON or promise OF any kird has been
asked for or received by ourselves or any
of our friends. These statements we
make openly and above board, and
stand ready to furnish proof OF each and
every assertion made.
Having laid these facts before our
readers we now desire to Say to them III
all earnsstnesa, that the whole light
upon Joseph l., K.ichli is prompted by
jealousy on the part OF Ez.Aldsrman
McGowan, in failing to secure the nom"
nation Tor representative IN fight In
which he and his friends believed that
he was wrongad by Nc. K-.ichlz, belief
in which The IRISH STANDARD shared at
the tina, having heard but oae side CT
the story, but which we now firmly be.
lieve was entirely without foundation
Every honorable effort was made by Mr..
Kiichli and many Of bis friends to con
vince John T. MCGOWAN that he was sn-
tire!y wrong in making these ACCUSE
lions, but without avail. The Cry was
raised trat the Germans were reapon-
sible and that in order to satisfy their
|sanguinary thirst for gore, Mr. Kiichli
must be knitted at all hazards, end with
the aid OF Republican money the fght
went merrily on.
Again We say to the united German
Democracy that the Irish voters OF the
Twen5y-ninth district are not making
war upon you. Do not be led into this
belief by the action of a very small per
centage of The Irish American Club
which was founded mainly, az it has
SINCE developed, to further the interests
of OK Alderman MCGOWAN, who owes
everything he ever received politically to
the Democracy of the First ward OF all
nationalities and who now, in it's time O |
need, turns his back upon the party
which had honored him, thus blasting
what might otherwise have been to him
bright political future. In conclusion
we will say to the Democrats of the First
ward: Do not be deceived by any circu-
Lac or other printed matter emanat1ng
from these people which will doubtless
| he sent to YOUR address before election.
