The most enthusiastic Blaine and Logan meeting of which we have read during the campaign, thus far, was held at Chiekering Hall, New York, on the evening of July 28th, under the auspices Of the Irish-American Independents. Enthusiastic: Irishmen, cheering for Blaine and Legan, crowded the avenue in front of the hall before the hour of opening. After the audience were ad­ mitted the hall was crowded, not even standing room being left, while out­ side the policc were busy with a thous­ and or more men who could not get In. Among those who occupied seat9 on the stage were Edward J. Rowe, ex- President of the Irish Confederation of America, Patrick Ford, Austin Ford, Sr., John Martin, of t^ie Tammany Hall General Committee, John Devoy, the Rev. David Lennun, Hugh F. McDer- mott.of Jersey City,Edward Moran,of Brooklyn, Dr. Hamilton Williams, Johc Roach, Col. J. P. O. Flynn, John Clark, and other well known and promineut Irish citizens. . The meeting was called order by A. E. Ford, of the Irish World who said: Fellow citizen*, it is indeed a distin­ guished honor for a man of my years to be called upon to preside over this great meeting. This is one ot the most fcignificant meetings ever held in the City of New York. To think of thous­ ands of Irish Democrats assembled to­ gether to eudorse the nominations of the Republican party! [Wild applause, continuing for Ave minutes.] It is not mine to-night to make a apeecli to you. I have the pleasure now to Intro­ duce to you a man whose name is en­ shrined in the hearts of the Irish peo­ ple, the Rev. Geo. W. Pepper. Of the quality of Mr. Pepper's speech no one can do it half justice by telling it. It must be read to be appreciated. It had the ring of the true metal and carried conviction with every word. A spcech of similar ring was made by Judge John Brennan, of sieux City, Iowa, who had traveled fourteen hun­ dred miles to be present at this meet­ ing, "because,"' said lie, l ,I understood there was patriotic work to do. and irherever the long roll of Irish-Ameri­ canism Is sounded, I deem It my duty to stand up and be cdunted." He had heretofore been a Democrat, but he said that uow the Democratic party "turns its eyes no longer to the Goddess of Liberty, but has erected for Its Uoratien the golden calf of monopoly wlill a shle altar at which it prays by fits' and turns to the metaphorical god­ dess which it blasphemously calls 'the star-eyed goddess of reform.' In 1879 the Democratic party, in its racing after false gods, ran afoul of the Cob- den Club, Invited the lascivious em­ braces of England, sold Its birthright for a mess of pottage, nnd forfeited Its claim forever to the votes of Irish- Americans.' Speeches were also made by James Corthery, of Trenton, Capt. Edward O. Condon, and P. T. Berry, of Chicago. The following resolutions were adopted: We, Irish citizens of New York, faithful to the best traditions of the Republic, which was founded and sus­ tained by the aid of our race in America, declare: That the object of this meeting is not to glorify any political party, but to express as Irish-American citizens our condemnation of the action, of the Democratic National Convention In truckling to an un-American sentiment as expressed in the Free Trade policy of the.Democratic platform, and In the nomination of Grover Cleveland. Resolved: That this meeting endor ; ses emphatically the nomination of Blaine and Logau; that it demands an American policy, and that the interests of the wonting mrn and the feelings of ritizens of every nationality and ex­ traction be respected and regarded be­ fore all and above all considerations. In a letter to his brother, the editor of the Lebanon JFVce Press, ex- Governor Cheney, of New Hamp6hlrei reports a conversation which he lately had with a manufacturer in Scotland. The Scotchman at first assumed as a sufficient reason for lower wages in Great Britain that a dollar would go further there in the purchase of the necessaries of life than in this country. Forced from this position by a com­ parison of actual prices, the Scotch manufacturer finally exclaimed: "The fact is, our workmen do not require^se much and are not accustomed to living so well as yours do.'" "Now," replied 3overnor Cheney/'j-our answer is com­ plete and satisfactory. This is just the case. Cur workmen are a part of our great Republic, so closely Interwoven with its interests that it is hard to draw the dividing line between them and the manufacturer. They fill places #f responsibility in our churches, our schools, our benevolent institutions, our hospitals, all of our secret societies as well as all of our political organiza­ tions. They are always represented in our municipal government and in our State Legislatures, and the employed are r.s much respected as the employer --tested by actual merit." Logan fighting to save the tJnion! Hendricks assailing Lincoln's administration; Logan shedding his blood in defense of his country! Hen­ dricks with the heart of a rebel, defend* ing slavery and dripping with treason­ able sentiments; Logan at the front, with the heart of a hero and patriot. As God is just, and right is right, we cannot doubt that the loyal citizens of •ur country will honor the patriot,and relegate the rebel to political retiracy, --Boston Traveller, Cleveland and the Soldiers! Why Cleveland should manifest so much dislike or hotllity to the soldiers, we do not understand; certainly they are as deserving as any set of msn on earth. What would have become, of this nation If the patriotic sentiment of the soldiers of the Union had not triumphed? By their heroism on many a field of battle in defoncei of onr homes and the Union they have made it pos­ sible to nominate Grover Cleveland. If a man is to be judged by his of flclal record, Cleveland is wofully de­ ficient in the manifestation of any particular attachment to the soldiers, as the following from the New York lYibune will sijjow. CLEVELAND'S HOSTILITY. TO SOLDIERS'. In speaking" on the same subject General Richardson said> "The Governor has upver been friend­ ly to the soldiers. While Mayor of Buffalo he vetoed an ordinance approp­ riating 9300 for proper observarce ot Memorial Day. As governor he vetoed voted a bill allowing Grand Army Post to use State muskets, provided bonds were given for their safe keeping and return, A one armed veteran. James Young,employed in the Capitol at Albany, was made an almost helpless Cripple by an accident. The Grand Army'Posts petitioned the Legislature to provide relief for the cripple, A bill was passed aud the Governor vetoed It. Every Grand Army Post in the State petitioned for a bill mak­ ing it a misdemeanor for any person to wear a Grand Army badge unless an honorably descharged soldier or sailor. The bill was passed and the Governor vetoed It. Massachusetts lias a law ou its statute books which provides that every soldier an1 sailor shall be fur­ nished by the State with an engraved certificate of discharge. In compliance with a petition frointhe soldiers of this State the Legislature passed a similar bill and the Governor vetoed It. A bill was passed by the Legislature to pro­ vide headstones for the soldiers of the late war who have died in the State^ the Governor wanted the bill amend, ed so as to permit him to designate what klud of headstones should be used, but he did not succeed. Such re­ peated rebuffs as he has administered to to the soldiers, taken In connection with the fact that he was drafted and stttrdlrtiiot gtf to tWrfWfcrtf while his associate on the ticket was an avowed opponent of the War for the Union, are not likely to bring him many sol­ dier votes,--New York Paper. The campaign liar assumes daily a new and grotesque appearance. In to-day's Times the charge is made that J.G.Blaine was one of the recipients of the bounty of Oakes Ames In the distribution of Credit Mobilier profits. The least bit of honest inquiry would have shown till Times that the origi­ nal entry in Oakes Ames memorandum book, where Mr. Blaine's name occurs was simply of persons to whom he pro­ posed to donate stock; that Oakes Ames swore that Blaine never had any stock; that Blaine challenged an inves­ tigation by the Democrats of the House, retiring from the Speakers chair and asking Mr. Cox to occupy It for the purpose of appointing such a commit­ tee; that the investigation was held and was thorough and searching, the facts appearing beyoud dispute tliat he had no part whatever in the Credit Mobilier speculation, whatever may have been its nature, and whether it was a harmless or a corrupt business enterprise or not. His case was pre­ cisely like that of Senator J. A. Bayard father or the present Senator Bayard. He was offered (Credit Mobilier stock and declined it. It will be remember­ ed that a similar charge was made against General Garfield, and that the facts In both cases were substantially the same. General Garfield was like wise offerod Credit ̂ Mobilier stock, but refused to accept It. just as Mr. Blaine did.--Journal. tSTOn Thursday of last week the Republican party was thirty years old. It was born in Maine, and from Maine takes its great leader on its thirtieth anniversary. According to a dispatch, it was flrst fprmally named the Repub­ lican pitrty at a meeting in Strong, Maine, August 7th, 1854, and a conven­ tion in Minnesota adopted the same name a few days later. The Republi­ cans at Strong haye made arrange­ ments for a celebration of the party's birthday, August 7th, and hope that Mr. Blaine, who had become a recog­ nized leader of the party only a year later, though only tweuty-flve years old. will be present at the celebration. He hung his hat on the floor and attempted to go to bed with the boot­ jack, remarking that "Boozeback ole fren fam'ly. Wood ole Boozeback." "You are intoxicated!" indignantly exclaimed his disgusted spouse. ^ "'Toxifled! S'no such thin?. Don't drink m'seir. Whoop! Horse oa you! Yawhoup! Once again for the beer." "Ugh! you brute!

Whoop!"-- 1 Pittsburg Chromcle, : ! SAVINU.THK SOUTH. J "JG Mr. Porter, staff correspondent Of the Philadelphia Press, writes from Annis- ton. Northern Alabama, a new town founded eleven years ago by Samuel Noble, an iron manufacturer from Cornwall, England: "Three iron furnaces, a large cotton mill fear-wheel works, rolling mills, foundry, aud a freight-car manufact­ ory now form the Industrial basis of a towr. which has well-laid-out streets with growing shade trees, public square, opera-houses, a National bank, sub­ stantial business blocks, and the mo3t comfortable homes occupied by the working classes to be found anywhere. Within a few weeks Mr. Noble has headed a subscription for $20,000 to en­ dow a normal school, and thg^ building has already begun. The b^t Queen Anne hotel in America^^Ht^^been built at a cost of $40,000. and is opened or ready to open- Thers is an armory fof training the boy&for walking and the use of arms, and good public schools. About 2,500 persons are employed in various forms of productive occupations chiefly manufacturing, and receive from II to $3 and 85 per day. Before these diversified industries Were in­ troduced many of these working peo­ ple, both white and colored, were liv­ ing in old log houses having one wretched room. Now they average four,room houses, well lighted, venti­ lated, carpeted, curtained, and furnish­ ed. The land around Annisten which formerly went begging at 914 for eighty acrcs now sells at $200 to $10,- 000 within the corporate limits,and country land which formerly eonld not be farmed at all, because the crops produced could not be sold, now sells for 925 an acre." Yet Mr. Noble declares that If he could be persuaded that the American r people were capable of the folly of electing Cleveland to the Presidency he would give up tue effort to make money in and reclaim the south from Its industrial semi-barbarism and would close out his investments. Al* though pig iron can be produced at low rates in the South, yet owing to the absence of tho various forms of iron manufacture of which the pig is the raw material, It can not yet be used there to any great extent, and. hence the pioducer is at the cost of can t>e used. As stove works, rolling' mills,etc.,multiply in the South this obstacle to profit will dlssapear, but mean wlillf there is the waiting which i costs. Mr. Noble complains of thcu. ignorant conservatism of the old Bour­ bon elebient who witii one breath will ssy, "Yes. bring on your capital, we have abundent resources awaiting the • mploymeut of labor,*' acd In the next will denounce the employer, who has not yet reaped a tenth of the outlay he has expended on his "plant." as the "pampered vampires sucking out the life of the people." and as takers of blood-money and robbers fattened by protective legislation. The new South therefore, ha3 to fight its way against , the stupidity of the average Southern politician, or so-called statesman. But it is making its way proudly aud nobly. Four Southern States are expected to cast their approaching?(.>lcctoral vote* for Blaine and Logan.--Inter Ocean, «fi .r-r-s Too Familiar. Mr. Haeklln went into au uuhealth- ful neighborhood and started a news- paper. Several months afterwards he was s^en in the vicinity of his former residence. - ' "" f ' v| "Hello!" saI4 * frleijd, "back so soon?" * "Yes, 1 got restless." >$»\ ^ "Didn't like the neighborhood?**• "Not after the people became too familiar. I had not been there long until it became evident that I would not like the place. 1 did not mind them shooting at me every time I went ^ out*of the office, and I even tolerated their habit of blazing away at me whenever I'd stick my head out of the window, but when they fell into the habit of climbing on the house-top and shooting down the chimney, why I be­ came disgusted at such familiarity,"-- Arkansatv Traveler. > V 4- BQrllappy Cleveland, with no•tqaaxfrr and.unhappy Hendricks, with an anti­ war record hanging like a millstone about his neck! Some savory morceaux have been resurrected that read strange ly now. For instance, a call for a Democratic mass, meeting, held at Seymour, Indiana, on Sept, 14th, 1864, t« be addressed by Heudrick, contains this tid-bit: Let all who favor piece, all who de­ sire to be free from the death-grip of this infamously wicked.
