subject. So on them place the responsibility OF
bringing his before the people, as candidate for
Fenan honors. We publish letter from California in
this issue of The IRISH REPUBLIC to which, in
nection with this we invite attention The writer is
member of Circle, and an Irishman whose motives

weight to his words proceeding as we know they do,
from dissatisfied soured spirit but from pure love
OF Ireland Before entering our protest against the
suicidal policy of bringing up John Mitches name In
connection with Fenianism and it's leadership, wish

engraved in the Irish heart He has suffered everything
but DEATH and sacrificed everything but honor for Ire

All that the most rabd Young Ireander who has helped
to scoM the British Government, claim for Mr..
