Is Mi'. Bl.ur to-day any more a friend to the foreign bora citizon t!ian ho was whcn ho so denounced the "dirty Dutoh and Irish," and hoped thoy would be given no more work on the streots9 Is G:iaN3ur now honcstly and roally any inoro a friend of the Gorman and Irishman, does he "love that rich broguc1, th;it deep Gorman accent" a:iy botter (han ho did whsn he joinod the Star Spanglod Banner Lodgo of the ordsr of Know-Nothings? When ho joined that Lodgo - sec afiidavit referred to - ho took an outh to support none but American born citizsns for offics, tD suppart no Roman Catholios, evn thoagli born in America, to support, no American oven wlio was not oqually embittcred against thoso boni in othor Liada, and in case of bis election to any oíSoe having tbe appo'mtmont of subardinates, to appoint non bul Amor cana to oji-e, and to remove all forei'jn-lorn citiznis and Roña Oatholks f rom offi-66.
