B 4 N1 To ths Editor of The, Chicago Tribune. Cf1cAGo, April 2.—~Mayor Harrison has seen fitto churacterizp my 0pposition to him as that of a “disappointed officeseelfer.” If you ‘will favor me with the use of your columus I think I can show, ‘to the satisfaction’ of every fair~ minded men, that L was ot a selfish.oficescelk- er, and that Thave good end sufficient ‘reasons f6r - opposing -Mr. ‘Harrison's reglection, aside from and above ali considerations personal to myself. ' e Mo 1 have urged my fellow-citizens of ‘Irish birth and degcent to voto against Carter: H. - Harrison because ho has offered them such insult "as he' would offer to no other class of peoplg, thinking, like many other Democrats, that the” Irish are mere Demmocratic 'voting cattle wifo must vote the Democrutic ticket. fola s 3 First—>tr. Harrison declared that he would APPOINT AN IRISH AMERICAN to the oftice of Comauiissioner of Public Works. Ho tendered the office to 'Mr. Michael Kecley, a busy and prosperous brewer, When he well knew that Mr. Keeley could not neglect his own busi- ness to accopt the oflice. -Then ho declared that he dfd not know another Irishman in Chicago whowas fit for tho place, and proceeded to ap- pointMr. Waller, nbrother Kentackian; although M=, Wallor had no special fitness for the pince, belng neither an engineer nora mechanic, and belng uceessurily dependent upon the opinions of subordinutes a8 to the uecessity or the churac- ter of public improvements. 1¥as an applicant for the office of Controller; but my opposition to Carter H. Harrison is in no respect bused upon bis refusal to appolnt me, and Mr. Harrison knows_ this, because when be told me be knew ~of mno Irish-American’ in Chicago fit for tho position of Commistioner of "Pub- lic Works, I fnsisted that John McMahon, who bullt the lake tunnel—a practical and an able man—was fit for the office, and & told Mr. Harrison that 1did not desire my candi- dacy to be considercd as_antagenistic 1o John McMahon, and, on the contrary,that he_could consider e perfeotly satisied it r. McMabdn was appointed, or if-any other good Irish-Amer- icun were given the positfon. ISurely, aven & Kentuckian will not call unreusonable thirsting for ofiice. i Mr. Harrleon thea { TRIED TO SATISFY THE IRISH by making Mr. Fogarty, who i3; neither 2 'me- chuule nor_ au engfcer, his Supérintendent of Streets under Mr. Waller. But nark the differ- enco in the Mayor's treatment of ‘a Kentuckian and an Irishman! Fogarty wa{ put on about half poy for scveral months, on the plea that he should not get full pay untilhp was familiar with hfs dutles. But Waller gotfull -pay im- mediately, although he needed experience as much as Rogarty did, and was‘ndbotter engineer norno more successful bullder, . And Gurney got full payas Controlicr :fron ;the .moment he went into office, although history unkindly omits to mention.any of the jreat banks or corporations ho managed or. thegreat financial schemes he concelved and exechted before he became Controller. And Baldwh got full.pay from date of appointment asGas Inspector, although we know of no experidice with whic! he was previously blessed in tht line, unless, indeed, ho did measure *the beit Mayor™ and report to’ the Iatter's satisfactbn. his glant di- mensions inratory and statesminship. Suagw—l ‘oppose Mr. Harrison because, of his snobbish 3 REFUSAL TO PRESDE . .- over the McCormick Hall lggltmx fo sym- pathize with . the oppresséd,. msgoverned, starving people of ‘Ireland -tot: fear that -his “ glficlal " dignity might. be lowired in the esti- mation of the English .Governmént. - Such men BLeonnrdSwem “Lieut.:Goy;Sguman, and Gen. e, who had never recalvedspolitical fayors frpm the Irish, had no scruples about atteading the -pgecting. The- Mayora ‘of Boston, Detroit, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, and other cities had no fear:of “offically " offending. the Govera- ment which took no pains to prevent its block- ade-runoers from - furnishing weapons'to the slaveholders to_shoot down-wae dofenders of the American TUnion but & few 'years ago. Neitber had Gov. Cullom, who was under na ob- ligations to the Irish, any fear of *offically oifending John Bull. Nor bad Govs. Gear, of “lowa; Smith, of Wisconsin; St. John, of Kinsas; Cresswell, of Michigan: Williams, of Indiunn; Phelps, of Missouri; Foster, of Obig; nor the Governor of Nebraska, all of whom wrote letters of sympathy with the cause, and all of whom preaided over mgetings to aid the - cause whenover asked to do go. Third.—I oppose Mr. Harrison because he has not fairly'or decently enforced th¥laws a his termor office. His profence that b CRIME CANNOT BE SUPPRESSED . in a large clty will not cover themuititude of his sins of omission. I wish to do po maa an injust- ice, nnd frankly admit that there are low, vile sections in nearly all large cities that are strick- en with the plague of vice. Put I denounce ihe incompetence and the cowardice of any Mayor, with both the police force and public sentiment at his back, who pretends that be is helpless to prevent o great leading thoroughfare, which ouwht to be one of the city’s chief commercinl arterles, from becoming lined , with ~ vile duucing hells, halls of vice, and 80- called theatres.-. Shame upon such a protence! 1 an Irishrap, @hd am’ proud to say 50, however much that uadonality may be “afficatly™ despised by * the best May- or”; aud I call upon my countrymen -to be no partics tothe continuation af moral pest-houses in the great city of their adoption. No matter Imv:\greut their persccutions, nor how unmitl- gated their poverty, the fathers and mothers of my countrymen in Chicago always maintained a reputation for morality .and virtue which cven their encmies acknowledged was excelled by no people on the face of the earth. Shall we give our children the example of supporting A MAYOR WIHO WILL NOT MOVE A IAND to clear from our greut thoroughfare, South State street, over which so maay of our familics are daily compeljed to travel, anest of institu- tons as bold, brazen, vile, and corrupting as any which ever existed in Sodom or Gomorrah? Irishmen, answer next Tuesdny! Atid it you answer in 4 manuer unworthy of your national traits, 6o not complain if your own children agd your children’s chiidren curse your memories. You may plead inability to decide between the conflicting cluims of politiclans made just pre- ceding an election about finances and other complicatod questions. You caunot, iwithout Dranding yourselves a8 infamous and belieing the natural traits of your character, plead lon- bility todecide whether you want yourselves gnd {aur families to be surrounded by virtue or ¥ vice, Fifth—I oppose Carter H. Harrison, and ask ‘my countrymen tq.oppose him, becauso 1con- sider the Democrafic party s0 (mum{nnted with bigotry and Know Nothingisin that 1t deserves ouly bostility at the hands of the Irish people. TOE IRISH HAVE BEEN THE “‘SOLID” SUP- PORTERS - of the Democratic party all over the Union. In return, Yet thom recall’ Francls Kernan's treat- meat by the Democracy of the State of New York; William B. Grace's treatment by the Democracy of the City of New York; and the treatment of the Irisk in Chicago by Carter H, Hurrison. In each case, asin many other cases1 might cite, the Democratic blue blood was offended at to Irish when they dared t® aspire for anything hlgher than being - “hewers of wood and drawers of water.” On. the contrary, when Irishmen acted with the Republican: lhe{ were treated a8 equals, not as inferiors. Tom Murphy was made Collector of the Port of New York, and what- over opposition was offered to him camo because -he_belonged to one wing Of his party,—the Conkling wing,~and not because of his place of birth or bis creed. The present Secretary of State of New York, Gen. Carr, i8 an Irish-Ameri- can and o Catholic. ‘The Democracy wled that he was a Catholic, thinking that he would be scratched by Republicans, as thoy would scrateh him were he a Democrat and on their ticket. But be was not scratched; THE REPUBLICANS'STOOD DY HIM SOLIDLY. He not only was electedabut ran ahead of his ticket. In view of these facts, Iaskithe Irish people if it is not time thay ceased being the *solid” allies of the *soiid” slave-driving De- mocracy of the South and the *“golfd” Know- Nothing Democracy oi the North. 5 AR am not a Catholie, but what my patriotic 1rish fathers before me were,—of the Presby- terlan faith,—I can speak perhups with more freedom than some of my countrymen could on this Democratic Know-Nothingism. 1t is time ull good* citizens stamped it out.

Ohieago Tablet, April 2 (Greenback organ.). Carter Harrison, {n'hig specch before the Dem-~ ocratic: Convention ‘accepting -the nomination for Mayor, openly and unblushingly admitted that gambling-houses and houses of prostitu- gon were open dry and night in the city, spread- ing their moral miasma broadcast among our people, and snid that he was unable tq.close the gambling-houses or shut up the houses of prostitution, and be wished he could do so. When the Mayor of a great city like Chicago, with the best police force in the world, and the power of the people of the great Com- monwealtn “of lllinois at bis back, makes * such admissions, he displays- a lack of merve and capacity that s surprising and deplorable. We have laws and ordinances providing for the abolition of these glu)rue shops, the best police and constabulgry orce in America to put down theso disorderly dens, and that same police force, under its brave and eflicient Superintendeat, Capt. O'Donnell, if permitted to doso by the Mayor, would wipe out the whole gambling and prostitution fra- ternity inftwenty-four bours, and close every gamblipg-house and brothel in the city in that length of time, But Carter Harrison will not allow these gambling and brothel hells to be in- terfefed with. The denizens of theso plages are his principal supporters. Mr. Michael McDon- ald, the ehlef of the gambling fraternity, is Mr. Harrison's first licutenant, and will ald him with more votes on election-day than he will re- celve from any other source. . ‘Why; should Carter Harrison enforce the laws against and drive out hisIriends? Few men would do so. Butwhy sbould the Mayor of Chicago bave such "friends?'is a question that may nlso be asked In this connection, and only be answered on the theory that our corrupt state of politics in large_cities” frequently throw men among strango and bad associates. Harrison's associates are very vile; no worse could be found. Can the respectable artisans and busi- ness-men of Chicago, the industrious and moral people of the Garden City, afford to have the city run In the interosts of «ambling and prosti- tution any longer? Can they afford to pay taxes for the support of a police force whose orders from the Cnief Exccutive of the city,(the Mayor) is to protect instend of suppress gambilng- houses and_houses of prostitution? Can they afford to reflect a man Wwho has degraded him- self. and stooped from the honorable position of Mayor into the mere partisan polltican, who bas preached treason and recommended turbulence, who has prostituted the official chambgrs of his office into a Democratic commitree-fom, who has_turned the Common Council into n bear garden, and stooped to the methods of the buily and blackguard, to tisticuffs and brawls? We mistake the tone and spirit of our people it they longer tolerate this man or his acts, FRANCE TO IRELAND.

Can you belleve him? Your yoie next Tues- day will redecm your manhood from his power to hoodwink you. He has done the same with your brother Frenchmen. - Tn 1873 he said publicly that the Freuch pepple were unruly and not able to govern themselves; they needed an fron hand to keep them submis- sive. © Then a few years aftor he made another speech, when he described the French g the most intelligent, the most industrious, and the ‘most prosperous people in the world. Ia many instances one day he was for one thing and the next day just the reversed. Can we trust him? e do not like to bede- ceived either by a double tongue or duplicity in deeds. Neither do you.

AFTER CORRESPUNDENTS.* The Small Ways of an I¥ndividual Clothed with a Litile Erief Fower— Who s the Secretary? : Correspondence Cincinmati Gazette. * WASHINGTON, D.C., March 30.—The statement bas been made by the lady correspondent of a Western journal, and the statement i3 accurate, that our Cabinet family has ‘taken in banda task ‘of considerable magnirude—viz., that of dlsciplining those Washington correspondents who have heretofore criticised them. The tact came to light through the spplication of n prominent publisher for @ position forone in whom ho was interested. The Cabinet oflicer to wham the applicaon was made was undera strong personal obligation to the man making it. The reply, as already printed, was. In sub- stance: “Your Jady correspondent herc has freely criticlsed me, and is disliked by my wite. She must be_dismissed before you can receive favors from this department.” Could words be put together that should more clearly show the exientto which nccession to partial power has turned the head of this ambliti- ous mortal? Could anything more undigniticd, indecent, or unmaply be written of a Cablnet oflicer? s it possible for a man in public life to overrate bis power to n groater extent thao to suppose that he can thus control a siugle decent newspaper in the United States, or affect the position of any reputable correspondent? Think of a Cabinet oflicer attempting thus to strike & woman. APo the offices placed iu this man’s hand for low personal purposes to rewurd naily distateful to him? How dizzy such a ‘man must be from his official perch, partly up the ladder of hisambition. No man sneers more contemptuously than he at Civil-Service reform. But because its principles prevailin the busi- ness he affects to despise,’bis own power and all the power of un Administration would not serve to sweep aside the corps of Washington corre- spondents. ‘They are not here to pleuse parties, or intrigulng party leaders, or Administrations, but to watch the pablic actsof each and all of them, aad keep the public informed, especially 1o give falr and just information of all who vio- Iate the honorable trusts imposed upon thom.
