Carhow Caxxon Hc-rsE, ) August 10, 18S4. My Dear Mr. Gallagher : For the past nitmth I wa3 engaged in al iild3t a life and-dcath struggle against theerumy. For the last five years have beon almost single-handed fight ing the worst lan dloids ever in Don egal the landlords of this union.- No coercion act would reach me,, but at last they resorted to a new plan to urive me out or the country, it pos sible. They brought an action for libel against me, aid ts venue in Derr selected twelve Orangcinen to try th casft, and, of coarse, the result was not for a moment doubtful. The judge vho tried the case, declared that I had libeled the government, and, of course,! must be punished. The jury retired,' oml m two minutes brought in a ver-j diet against me for 100 and costs, which will amount to about 2000.; Thus they think they have silenced me in future, but I am not through with then yet. Knough on this subject, as you will probably see a letter from mo in the Irish-American papers in a few days, Let me thank you fur sending me the Republican at.d Celt. But tell mo is it possible, that any number of our eouutrymen will vote the Black Repub lican ticket? I cannot beliwve it posT ble, in the face of the treatment rc ceived by Irish-Americans air a.l during th Blaine administration. 1 'vr'.U write a public letter oon on the fcubject, but in the meantime you are at full liberty to publish any letters of mine from "Victoria's dungeon." 1 feel strongly, I assure you, on this sub. jecti and hnd it hot been for the loss I have just sustained here in my light with the enemy, I certainly would have gone to the States to work against B)am and his party, armed with Lowell's original letter, to tell the story of my in prison inent Mid Repub lican fcneers at my appeal for protec tion. Your friend, D. McSweexev. EEWAKIs The Oregonian lately gave the news the failure of the New Brunswick Na tiottal Bank of New Jersey. In tin se days of Blaine's idealistic prosperity ttoerd is nothing strange or unusual in the suspension of Republican financial sonverns very much to the distress and otfering of innocent depositors. In this case however, there is much fur nished for reflection. Not only is the bank defaulter to the tune of $7,000, 000 Wut the city of New Brunswick is bankrupted and thousands of people hie heen crushed beneath this gret.t (Calamity.. "Where has all this large sum of eaney gone? Martin A. He well, a former director of this concern sums up the matter in a few words. He aaid: "I saw it coming. Charley Hill was too liberal The Republican party went to him as a banker for funds. He doubtless took the banks surplus to : il his friends." What a commentary this js upon the condition of the country .National banks and the money of con fiding depositors are used stolen and squandered, crime or no crime, sufferi- i ing or no sulTering regardless of all consequences for the benefit of the Re publican party. This is perhaps only .one instanco in a thousand. National banks and all monetary influence of the Republican party, are in league with Hell to rule the Government and vuin the people and their country Depos itors beware, withdraw your n.onev and bmy it deep in the ground if necessary. An honest recount of securities will show large deficits in every Republican banking establish tnent in the countrv. The day for counting is rapndly ap proaching, ami when Clevelaad is elected and he rarely will l-e susprn aions and failures will be the rule and not the exception. What ical money thftre is in --the banks will be lost in the hopeless effort to maintain Republican jsuprerpacy. The people shottld sale thomslvea whilst there is yet time for M aunt as there is a God in Heaven t'te $ajr of rctiibution is drawing nigh. A 1I0DEEN r&BLE. Mis. Pot is an elderly widow lady who lives on her own broad acres with a large household of seventeen children! Amongst whom are a number of qrown up sons, with broad shoulders and Ijrawny arms, which at once bespeaks 'hem tillers of the soih In Kettle town 4 village hard by, resides a family by the name of Kettle, the proprietors of the place, who arc very richdnd aristo cratic. The family is very nunierous i - . and consists of the mother and twenty- one children, amongst w hom are a nun; j ."ith ! ber of grown daughters, who, notv. Btandiug the aiuts and cosmetics whuh they use in great abundance, are comelv and fair to look upon. A fend of long Istandinur had existed between tlrc?se two families. As the husbands are now both in their graves the mothers thought they would relent of their enmity and cultivate closer relations of friendship Accordingly Mrs. Kettlfi gathered her fanvly together oi:e morning and taking her sewimj they all went over to Mr?. Fot's to take dinner &nd spend tho eve ning. When tie table had been spread and the roasted viands and salads were being-placed upon the board, and the boys had come in from the iields in their working clothes the little Kettles looked T upon the great brawny fellows in won der and amazement Just as old Mrs. Pot had placed a large roast upon the board, one of the little Kettles pointe I o a speck o;i her lace and cried out, ''Smutty face, smutty face!" and all the Kettles, except four of the grown daughters, commenced boiling and sing ing with one voice, "Smutty facet smutty face!" The sons turned crim son with rage and indignation at seeing ! their mother so insulted in her own house, and one of them looking up at old Mrs. Ivettlej .who had beeu iuing her pocket handkerchief quite freely, as the dav was warm, observed that the paint and enamel had been removed in spots leaving a most hideous soct be grimed vision, whereupon' he modestly said, '-Smutty face, too." Old Mrs. Kettle commenced boiling with rasja and stam lied her foot and said "It's a lie. it's ti lie.;'5 and the little Kettles all boiled in rage- and with one voice cried ont, "It's a lie, it's a lie!" and they all left the farm except, four of the grown rdaughieis, without eating their dinner. The Missis Ohio, Michigan, New York and Indiana, Seeing the tli.e viands and savor v meats and bein tempted by the civilities of the grown sons of Mrs. Pots, remained for dinner and before the repast was over conclu ded to stay and abide permanently on the farm and assise old Mrs. Pot with her household duties. A Cry for He! The prospect of good times in Oregon is very flattering. The Republican managers are becoming frightened over their prospects in this state and will call on the National Comm'ttee for "soap." Knowing the number of votes which they purchased in J line and the price they paid for them, it becomes absolutely certain that it will requirj much "soap" to keep the track greased and to wash ont the stains of Blaine' private character and public record The scarcity cf money in Oregon and ihe lack of enthusiasm for the candidate whose public record is such that no honest man can defend it, leaves it an up hill business fot; the assessors and col lectors of the corruption fund. The na tional committe has been drawing from the federal officials for the last four ycar3 and have an immense fund in re serve. It now becomes evident that it will require a large amount of money toietain the vote of Oregon for the Republican candidates. Although the officials here in Rosebiug have put up $50 a piece, the fund is insufficient fo the purpose and the federal committee will have to shell out, which will put a large amount of dijiisv in circulation after tho ejection. g?!aL'jii'i.f; .' .' iLia Who are the bone and sinew cf the land The farmers. "Who paythe taxes of the land The farmers. Who get 50 cents a bushel for their wheat? The farmers. WHY? Because.the iniquitous tariff laws of the Republican prtv are in the interest ot tho monopolist and against the fai nter every time. What should the farmers do to be saved VOTE FOR CLEVELAND, cor rect the abuses of the tariff, thereby getting fifteen cents a bushel more for their whfat, and make ths monopolists pay their share of the taxes. With the tariff adjusted in the in terest of the farmer one -half the freight from Portland to Liverpool could be saved, on account of vessels bringing something besides ballast. Every far mer should vote for Cleveland, and get 9" fifteen c:uts a bushel more for wheat.
