It seems that a second terra in Con
cross is not to bo accorded to Mr,
Storm without a contest. All tho coun
tics in this congressional district havo
candidates, and each ono will do all in
his power to sccuro tho prize. If tho
other counties disregard tho two term
rule, there is none that has so strong a
claim udoii the olhco as Uolumbia. m
1882 the democratic majority in Mon

in Monroe. 2228 ; in Piko 709 : in the
Lnzorno portion, 917 ; and in Lacka

Storm 2300 maiority. Wo havo not
only the largest majority, but tho lar-

tho district, and yet for ten years tho

the present apportionment Under
former apportionments wo have had
no representative in Congress for forty
years or more, while all the other coun

time. If tho two term rule prevails,
we believe it will bo satisfactory to
this county, but if it is to be set aside,
it would be an aot of great injustice to
givo the nomination to any other than
Columbia county's choice.

New York. July 27 The Brook
lyn Young Men's republican club have
held a private meeting, and havo de
cided to send out to 2,000 members
tho report of the committee which in
vestigated the record of James G.
Blaine. Tho members say tho conclu
sion has been readied after full and
careful consideration that tho best
course for tho club to pursue as an
organization is to take no action look
ing to tho endorsement of presidential
candidates, leaving each member to
vote those questions as ho may sec fit,
and that the club devote its energies to
tho local and congressional tickets in
the approaching election, llieso re
commendations aro arrived at by tho
unanimous conclusion of both tho
Blaino and anti-Blaino men, as the
best course to bo pursued under all tho
circumstances.
Cheap Foreign Labor.
A bill to prevent the importation of
foreign labor to this country under
contract passed the House during tho
recent session, and the alleged lovo of
tho republican party for tho laboring
man was exhibited iu the Senato by
tho failure of the bill. I ho Washing
tor. Star Bays :
Thero exists, consequently, nothing
to prevont tho continuanco of such im
portation, and a firm in this city has
prepared to cinbark in tho business,
with a viow of supplanting American
labor with workmen from Europe. The
Bohemo is to import Welsh and Italian
laborers to work under coutract at low
wages. W. H. Main, a real estate
agent, is at tho head of tho concern
nnd his agents aro in Europo arrang
ing for tho shipment of laborers and
domestics of all kinds, to meet all do-
mands, and to replenish tho stook by
fresh shipments as thoy nro needed.
The managers will issue circulars to
contractors all over tho country, offer

Air. Main says, confiuo themselves to
common laborers, but will get skilled
workmen who will bo willing to work
for low wages to get a foothold In this
country. Mr. Main's chiot associate in
the entorpriso is said to bo a German
named hrott, formerly an itinerant
preacher, no has now gono ta Europo,
whoro ho will preach to tho laborers of
tho advantages to bo aeriveu irom
ooming to this country. To skilled
labor they will offer special induce
ments, promising them permanent em
nlovmont nt wages much better than
they can get iu their nativo land. He
says also that hundreds of farmers hero
want to eoll their farms for want of
help. Mr. Main says ho. can afford to
pay. skilled European laborers much
higher wages than they got at homo
and still put them to work hero for
less than regular American wages.
Iu connection with this thoy propose
to run a colonization concern to bring
over foreigners, chiefly Uermaiis, who
havo a small capital, to take up West
ern timber lands. Air. Maui says thoy
havo as imioh as a hundred thousand
acres in a single region which will bo
applicable for this purpose.

carries with it profound personal re

a president not in compliment for what

tion of what ho will accomplish as the
truo servant of a freo people, fit
for their loftv trust. Always of momen

Governor Cleveland, who had stood
meanwhile an attontivo listener, replied
ns follows :
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of
the Committee : Your formal an

tho distinguished honor which haa been
conferred npon me, because my mind is
full of an anxious desiro to perform
well the part which has been assigned
to mo. Nor do I nt this moment for-
L'ct that tho rights and interests of

Tho governor spoko extempora
neously and not without evidence of
deep earnestness and fooling. Ho
seemed to realize tho weight of respon
sibility whioh rested upon his shoul
ders as tho standard bearer of tho
arty. Tho address was not only a
model ono in thought but was deliver
ed with raro graco and effect.
The congratulations that wero
showered upon him by tho many dis
tinguished leaders of tho party at tho

somo time spent in social interchanges,
tho doors of tho dining room wore

THE TWO PLATFORMS-
The Iron Aae of Now York it do
voted exclusively to tho interests of the
iron trade. In its issuo ot duly 1 7th,
it discusses tho plattorm ot the demo
cratic party, and compares it with that
of tho republicans, ifio article is wor
thy of careful perusal, especially by
thoso who claim that the democrats la-
vor freo trade, and we reproduce it bo-
low. It says :
The platform adopted by the con
vention is chiefly remarkablo for its ar
raignment of tho Republican party, its
principal dissimilarity with tno licpuu
ncau piuiiuiiu uuiug iuuiiu iu mill, ui-
rection. Tho tariff plank is as fol
lows :
Tho Democratic party Is pledged to revise tho
tariff in a spirit ot fairness to all Interests.
But In making reduction In taxes It la not propos
ed to Injure any domestic Industries, but ratlicr to
promote their healthy growth. From tho founda
tion of this Government taxes collected at tho
custom house have been tho chief source of Feder
al revenue, such they must continue to bo. More
over, many Industries havo come to rely upon leg
islation for succcssul continuance, so that any
hango ot law must bo at every step regard! ul ot
tho labor and capital thus Involved. The process
of reform must bo subject In tbo execution to this
plain dlctato of Justice all taxation shall bo limi
ted to tho requirements of economical government.
Tho necessary reduction in taxation can and must
bo effected without depriving American labor of
theabUlty to compote succcsfully with foreign
labor, and without Imposing lower rates of duty
than will bo amplo to cover any tnenraed cost of
production which may exist In conscqucnco of the
higher rate ot wages prevailing In this country
Federal Government, economically administered,
including pensions, interest and principal ot tho
public debt, can bo got under our present system
of taxation from custom-homo taxes on fewer Im
ported articles, bearing heaviest on articles ot lux
ury and bearing Ughtest on articles ot necessity,
We therefore denounce the abuso ot the existing
tariff, and, subject to tho preceding limitations,
wo demand thai Federal taxation shall bo exclu
sively for public purposes, and shall not exceed
the needs of tbo Government economically admin-
lstcred.
llus declaration ot tarilt sentiments
Is very far removed from a support of
ircc-traue tucories. oo long as hscal
legislation 1b based on such principles
the doctrines advanced by nurd, Wat -
terson, Morrison and othor extremists
havo no prospect of being crystallized
into law. iho Morrison and Hewitt
"horizontal" plan of reduction is disap-
proved by implication, since no refer -
en co is mado to tho eltort in behalf of
such "tariff reform," which occupied
the mno ot tho nouso ot ueprcsenta -
lives so long last winter. Tho advo-
cates of "freo raw materials" havo mot
with almost as little encouragement
trom the .Democrats as thoy did from
the Republicans, tho subject being
only slightly alluded to in a part of tho
platform disconnected with tho tariff
plank, liable to be overlooked. Essen
tial differences between thu tariff lit-
icrauces oi inu iwo panics are lucre -
foro wanting. The Republicans do- blow at tho interests of tho working
mand that "duties shall be bo levied men. On tho contrary, it is to tho ben
"as to afford security to our diveiBificd efit of the thousands of surfaeo railroad
"industries, and protection to tho
"lights and wages of tho laborer,
whllo tho Democrats disclaim any at -
tempt to impose "lower rates of duty
"than will be nmplo to cover any in -
"creased cost of production which may
"exist in consoquenco of tho higher
"rate of wages prevailing iu this coun -
"try. from such deliverances ireo
traders can gather but littlo comfort. It
is truo that tho Democratic platform
pledges tho party to "revise tho tariff
in a spirit of fairness to all interests,"
uui tno uepuuiican piatorm niso picii -
kco until puity iu cuuai inv mvijiiui -
Hies of tno tariff." The Democratic
leaders havo shown their sagacity in
avoiding a tariff policy based on tho
destruction ot the protective system,
which would undoubtedly havo allcnn-
ted innny voters from tho support of
tho ticket who nre naturally counted
iu tho Democratic ranks. As many
workiugineii aro embraced among them,
it was natural that tho convention, in
addition to a tariff plank, should adopt
a labor plank, which is as follows :

tho true relations nf capital and labor.
This will certainly please the labor
element. It will be remembered that
ox-Senator Wallace, of PcniiHylvanlii,
who was a delegate to this convention,
is tho author of tho net providing for
tho creation of labor tribunals In that
State for tho purpose of adjusting la
bor disputes by arbitration. Tho In

Tho system ot direct taxation known as tho "in

haw continues tho money derived therefrom should
bo sacredly devotod to tho relief of the poopio
from tho remaining burdens of tho war, and bo

mcnt ot such pensions as Congress may from tlmo

sailors having been already provided and any
surplus should bo paid Into tho Treasury.
Tho Republican party is arraigned
m vigorous language tor neglecting
our merchant marine. Tho plnnk re
ferring to this subject says, among
other things :
Desplto twenty years of peace, Republican nilo
and policy havo managed to surrender to Great
Britain, along with our commerce, tho control ot
the markets of the world. Instead of tho Repub
lican party's British policy, wo demand In behalf ot
tho American Democracy an American policy,
It is very truo that, no matter what
the causo of American commercial de
cadence may hvo been, vigorous ef
forts should havo been put forth long
before this by our Government to re
store tho merchant inarino of this coun
try to its old condition of commanding
importance. Tho Republicans deserve
reproach for their apathy in this mat
ter, which should havo received prompt
ami earnest attention immediately al
ter tho closo of tho war. What could
then havo been dono easily will now re
quire immenso exertion and perhaps
many years ot the most persistent el
fort, ns other nations besides our great
est competitor, Great Britain, havo
dono much to prevent us from securing
our share of tho foreign carrying
trade-
Both of tho great political parlies
have now completed their preparations
for tho campaign. Thoy have selected
their leaders and avowed their princi
ples. The candidates on both sides
have strong points ot personal popular
ity in their favor, and every effort has
been mado by ingenious plattorm
builders to please tho conservative bus
iness element as well as tbo labor and
manufacturing interest of the country.
The platforms aro so constructed that
differences of meaning will bo difficult
to demonstrate, and an effort will bo
made to havo their opponents judged
by tho speeches of their Congressional
Representatives mado last winter in
tho heat of animated debate, rather
than by the deliberate statement of
principles mado by a carefully selected
coinimttco appointed for the purposo
ot drawing up a declaration to bo sub
muted to the great body ot American
voters in tho hopo of securing their ap
proval, liut tho campaign has hardly
opened yet, antt ueioro it is halt over
somo issuo now ill defined may assume
preponderating importance and drive
the tariff question to the rear as a
thing settled, dismissed and no longer
to bo bothered over. Tins is a con
summation devoutly to bo wished, as a
business man or a manufacturer could
then look upon the strife of politicians
without a thought ot possible mterriip
tion to his business during a season of
tarilt tinkering by t;ongress, or
possible destruction of that business by
a mere change iu the administration

during his Hpeeob by the Blaino men, i
who tried to fchoilt him down, but tho !
cheers of others in sympathy with hint j
drowned the hoots nnd Ii'hscs. When

cheers for Cleveland, nnd the met ting

How He rrotcoted Them-
Tho New Yoik Tribune having
boasted of tho "manly defense" of foreign-born
citizens made by Mr. Blaino
whllo Secretary of Statu iu the Garfield
administration, Mr. John Boylo O'Hell
ly, iu his well known paper, tho Bus
ton J'ilot, responds ns follows :
Mr. Blaine's "manly defense" consist
ed iu allowing Amcric.in oilizous of
Irish birth to bo nriested, imprisoned,
iiiBiiltod nud' misrepresented by English
olficials, while ho looked on npproving

approve tho otitrngo as legal.
Minister Lowell, when uppealed to
by the unfortunate prisoners, answered
that lie could not interfere in their be
half. "Unless I nm instructed to thu
contrary by tho department of state,"
ho wrote, "I must tnko this viow of
my duties."
At this time Mr. Blaine was secre
tary of stato. Lowell was following
his instruction to thu letter.
On tho 2d of June, 1881, Daniel
Mcbwceney, a citizen of San Francis-
while on a visit to Ireland with
his family, was arrested and imprison

Lowell read of the arrest, but nover
moved a finger. The imprisoned man's
wile wrote to Secretary Ulnine, but ho
d not givo her tho courtesy of nn an
swer. Mr. Mcfciwecnoy wroto from an
English jail to his daughter :
"Your mother wrote to Mr. Blaino
about my case, but that gentleman did
not deign oven a reply. I have heard
nothing whatever from him."
Not only was this utter ignoring of
tho rights of citizens tho policy of Mr.
IJlaine, but when Lowell voiced tho
patent falsehoods of tho English police,
denying Mr. McSwceney's citizenship,
his conduct was approved. Secretary
Blaino said to a brother of ono of tho
imprisoned men : "Mr. Lowell has
pursued his instructions with energy
nnd sagacity, nnd in full harmony with
his government."
If tho Irish Americans are going to
vote for Blaine, wo propose to let them
do it with their even open.

Those Irish Blaine Clubs
From tho Erio Herald.
The IFerald is convinced after
careful survey of thu situation, that the
alleged Irish and labor detection trom
tho demociatio liarty is almost entirely
imaginary, and what there is of it is
not two distant movements, but ono
and tho same thing. The scheme is
generally worked in this way : Half a
dozen men will get together, hold a
meeting, pass resolutions and send out
a report that 100 Insh-Amertcan demo
crats havo organized a Blaino nnd Lo
gan club. Then the samo very half
dozen men, all of whom havo probably
been voting tho greenback or rcpubli
can ticket for seven or eight years, will
hold another meeting and send to tho
republican papois a report that 100
democratio workingmen havo flopped
over to the opposite party.
Five outof tho twenty-one presidents
were of Scotch-Irish liucago Jackson,
1 oik, liuchauan, Johnson and Arthur
two of scotch Grant and Iluyes (tho
iraudulcnt) ; one ot Welsh Jelterson
and ono of Dutch Van Huron ; tho
remaining twelve being of English de
