Why Finerty Supports Blaine. Congressman Finerty, of Chicugo, In au article in his paper. The Citizen, suys that without mrrendering a prin­ ciple that lie has held, w ithout accept­ ing any parly collar, without abumloii- ing the people who elected him, on the ground of American citizenship and American glory, lie deciart-s'hls prefer­ ence for Mr. Blaine. lie declares him­ self against Cleveland because he has proven himself the oiiemy of the workingmau, the ally of monopolies, ilie self constituted Judge of the con­ stitutionality of the measures intended to bene lit t lie people, the bare-faced dodger of the vital question of protec­ tion to American industries, and the champion of a foreign interest on this continent, Mr. Finerty will never be found voting for any dubious American who lias the support of The Times. The Telegraph, The Standard, and the Newt, of London. He supports Mr. Blaine, becaase in declaring openly fo: protection against Europe and free commerce witli American neighbors on and below our southern frontier, lie advocates the true American policy, and the only one by which this country can not only remain great. Iree and prosperous, but also by which she Van spread her ' influence on t he American coutinunt, and maintain ..the letter of that Monroe d*ctrii<e which says to Europe "Hands oft" and of which Blaine is tlie trtu £t and most gifted living exponent. With him at the lie ad of the nation there would be no fear the Panama canal will degenerate into a European waterway. Mr. Finerty. further, supports Blaine because of his vigorous foreign policy, a policy that the tragical end of Presi­ dent Garfi id curbed befete it had at tallied development. He also supports Blaine because England ablicrs him, and because his election, although he is not a firebrand or a promoter of un­ necessary warfare, would be a slap in her face. Finally, Mr. Finerty declares against Grover Cleveland because Ills nomin. ation by the Democrats was a direct Insult, and so intended, to the backbone of tlie Democratic party north of the Ohio, and a challenge to (lie manhood and political courage of every Ameri­ can, of whatever race, who earns his livelihood by honest labor. TMMach for the Southerner, *iflie following from the Chicago Daily News of Sept, 16th, shows how easily a McHenry county boy outwitted ft member of tbe Southern chivalry who was trying to dodge an honest claim: Capt. McGee. secretary of the South­ ern Insurance company, of New Or­ leans. was a surprised and angry man yesterday. He was stopping at the Grand Pacific hotel in attendance on the convention of the insurance agents, but he did not register. The reasons have just come to light. Some time ago a farmer in Wisconsin had his resl- decce burned. It was insured in seveal companies, among them the Southern. Suits had been commenced by Jesse A. Baldwin to recover from some of the companies, but lie was unable to get service on the Southern Insurance company. Hearing that Capt, McGee was in town, he quietly began suit in the United States court and had the bill suppressed. A deputy marshal called at the Grand Pacific and inquir­ ed for the captain. He was informed no sue!) man was stopping there. Mr Baldwin then tried his hand at it, and going over to the hotel wrote his name t on a card and handed it to one of the 'clerks with the remarks: "Please send this rip to Capt. McGee." The scheme worked and he came down. He was served with the papers, and this is why tbe gallant southerner is road. Mr. Baldwin is one of the brightest young lawyers in the State, and all matters put in his hands are jure to Ifcelve prompt and careful attention and we the the de- Who May Vote. There have been a number of en­ quiries relative to the length of time an alien must be a resident of the United States before tie can vote, at the request of several friends print a synopsis of the law on question, for general information: 1. A man who has resided in United States for five years and clared his intention to become a citizen of this country two years prior to ap­ plication, may lie naturalized. 2. Those who come into the United Stales three years prior to attain'.ng their majority (21 years of age) if in the United States five full years, may make application for citizeuship and at the same time receive their final papers. 3. Any person who has been in the United States for five years, under 21 years of age, and whose father has been naturalized, is a citizcn. 4. Any alien of 21 years, who has en­ listed in the army of the United States, regular or volunteer service, and has been honorably discharged, shall be admitted to citizenship upon his peti­ tion without any previous declaration. He will not be required to prove more than one year's residence in the United States previous to his application. 5. Tbe widow and minor children of an alien who {{has declared his inten­ tions bu t who dies before he is actually naturalized, are citizens. 6. Children whose lather was natur­ alized before they were 21 years of age are citizens of the U.S. 4WI know James G. Blaine from the top of his head to the sole of his feet. I have been in close persona and political association with him for thirty long years,and 1 am here to tell you upon my responsibility for in­ tegrity--whieli I prize higher than anything on this earth--that he is a Christian gentleman in every sense of the word, [applause.] and that no man treads the green earth of God above us Of higher tutegrity than James G. Blaine. [Applause.] Thirty years of personal intimate acquaintance and association with him led me to know what I am saying. The opinions of James G. Blaine upon every question ftfiecting the interests of our Industries affecting the character of our labor, of tbe industries of our government, and Its foreign relations, have been stated SO clearly and so distinctly la his letter of acceptance that they are known to all tbe world, a letter, mark you, so able,and so distinct that the criticism Of that hypocrite, Carl Schurz, have not succeeded In staining it.-han- hibal Hamttn in Cleveland, "Slowly rise the silver atari Patios the erim.ion West Lay tli.v iittle liaml in mine, Kiiise thine eyes; their «t»«e divine, (tontly whispers, I am ihinc " These are words tianointed from a Russian so.'ig. and appear ill the song called "Captive to thy Kiss."

The following, from the Chicnge Journal, should have an attentive read­ ing: "It is a fact that the question of pen­ sioning the soldiers of the rebel'army, which fought to destroy tlie Govern­ ment and the Union, equally with tlie soldiers of tlie Union army, which fought for the preservation of the Re­ public, was seriously entertained by the Committee on Resolutions at tlie late Democratic National Convention. Here is tlie form in which it was fim presented in the committee: "'Resolved, That internal revenue is a war tax, and that so long as it con­ tinues the money so raise gliall go toward the relief of the people from the burdens of war, as by paying.pen­ sions and providing for disabled sol­ diers, whether Confederate or Cnion. "In order to 'whip the devil around the stump; the committee finally manipulated this outrageous proposi­ tion into the following form, audit was so adopted by tlie eotivention: "Tlie system of direct taxation known as the Mnternal revenue." is a war tax. a^id so long as the war continues the money derived therefrom should be sacredly devoted to tlie relief of tlie people from the remaining burdens of the war, and be made'a fund to defray tlie expense of the care and comfort of worthy *oldier« disabled in line of duty in the ware ot the Republic, and for the payment of such pensions as Congress may jrom time to time grant to such soldiers.' "The wording »f this resolution Is a study, and nobody will, in tlie light of the original resolution, fail to discover what It drives at. "The Republican platforms for the past twenty years have declared in favor of the disabled soldiers of the Union army and the surviving famines of those Union soldiers who lost their lives In the war. Tlie Democratic platform-makers studiously omit the word Union. or any other word indi­ cating Union soldiers, and have so framed this plank of their platform as to include rebel as well as Union Ml dien."
