IRISH REPUBLICANS.

National Convention at Cincinnati. A National Convention of Irish Republicans was held in Cincinnati last week, about 2.i0 delegates, 100 of whom were from Ohio, being in attendance. A. L. Morrison, of New Mexico, called the convention to order and made a brief address, saying its object was to use every effort to elect Blaine and Logan and give notice to all parties in this country that it is dangerous to have any alliance with the .British press or British Government. AL. Morrison was made Chairman and J. J. Geghan, of Ohio, Secretary. The report of the Committee on Resolutions was adopted. The resolutions ratify the nomination of Blaine and Logan; declare unalterable opposition to the free trade doctrines of the Democratic narty; say the American people are competent to control their domestic affairs, and need no lessons from a government from which they had wrested their liberty with arms, and against whose cruisers they had to fight during the late rebellion; declare in favor of the Monroe doctrine, and that an attempt by any European power to seize, fortify, or control the Panama Canal, or any other waterway across this continent, should be resisted to the utmost by every republic on the American continent. They further say the nomination of Cleveland was made against the interest of the Irish and other industrial classes, and in an insulting manner. A committee was appointed to convey the resolutions to J. G. Blaine.
