REMARKS OF "THE REPUBLIC"
Our readers can understand how easy is for sophs
which we do not believe General ONe to be, for we
are under the impression that his made out for
him by cunninger hands-to go back years files
of our paper and pick here and there to suit his pur
pose and arrange them in settings of his own in order to
make appear inconsistent
On the Goth July 1867 John OMahony was head of the
other branch of the Organization and knew then that
with OMahony at the head there could be no union, while
certain took prominent parts SIDE The first
"scrap" reset in the Generals spicy surroundings
written under these circumstances We led to believe
by reports from headquarters that there six hundred
Circles in good standing and working goriously When
we went to Cleveland afterwards and found out from the
books the number Circles that had reported and the
number of Circles represented at the Convention, saw
how we deceived and how things had been crmnay
exaggerated We happened to be Chairman of the "Com
mttee on Credentials the Convention and having signed
every delegates ticket of admission, know what
talking about Were there hundred Circles represented
there? Were there sevenyv Let of the Generals
clerks this
When we five delegates from the Convention that
represented the "oher wing" coming to Cleveland, with
full powers negotiate unon and ordered to throw
board any their side that might be objection
able u.s. if honorable terms offered them-when
this changed ideas in regard those other fell
lows somewhat. We on the committee appointed
to wait on these gentlemen, and what they required
They made list of property for which they vouched
pledged hand in three days after the "union"
should be completed When saw by this list that they
had as much property than side could show it
changed us little more. When saw that, but for the
leaders of side, who talked against time following
each other in succession to tire ont the Conven-
ton that the people then now, would have completed
the union, it changed us little more.
When we those old political wre-pullers caucusing
and buonhong representatives from the different parts of
the country and poisoning their minds against union
changed still In fact the representatives from the
Savage side avowed openly that they had connection with
Stephens ONahony and that if they allowed one
half representation they would send in the of their
choice the Convention and let that body pass upon them
The feeling of venomols partisanship-or worse-ha
displayed there by certain who rule the Or
ganizaon altered views that back with the
determination that there could be good from their
legislation that nothing but united Brotherhood could
accomplish the liberation of country And further that
there good and true side the other
That had all allowed passions away with
judgments and worked defeat the other wing
than did defeat the English So far had allowed
passions Wild that had repeatedly insued
and attempted to provoke quarrel with Stephen j. Meany,
in order to take revenge what considered to be
traitor. The had too much noblenes in his soul to
stoop to insults At the time called it cowardice
When this stood in the dock, and looked defiance
the enemy of his country, and hurled those words of
that have made his immortal at the perured judges
of bloody government, it changed mind great deal
And now, the gentemany and courteous form of
Meanytoo high to soop to insults too brave to in
the dock-comes mind, what would not give
beg pardon from the patriot in his dungeon.
Have all such been denounced traitors? Who
will before the people and call them such now? De-
them to-day and make capital out of their blood and
