To the Editors of The Irish Republic.
GENTLEMEN: meeting of sh-American citizens
held in city hail. Saturday evening" for the purpose
forming organization and discuss the present state
of Irish affairs This organization they would have it.
would embrace all patriotic hshnen Now mark the words
Just if there not such organization really in
sence namely, the Fenian Brotherhood The of the
new society is be called the United Irshmen in honor
of the 98 organization like the but the spirit Of
this new order of United Irishmen the spirit of 49,
meet with the approval of any member Of the F.
B. The basis of this order of things is follows
First that the citizens and their immediate
descendants should act in concert with the moral force ag
taorS of Ireland such The ODonoghue and Mr. Martin
Don't you think gentlemen that this is exalted position
for the citizens of this Republic be engaged in to assist
the moral force old ladies of Ireland to beg of England
native parliament? This the first salute from Mr.
Dillon OBrien, of Minnesota. The whole audience looked
upon the meeting something that about be done
devise by which the Fenian Brotherhood could be
united Instead of that he proposed build organization
the ruins of Fenianism What his aims and objects
remain mystery me- and to most of the audience except
it political dodge his part to change the already fixed
principle of Fenanis-which is that the Irish shall vote
whatever ticket they please at an election
He say that the F. B. could not succeed in its
mission the following First that the Catholic
Church was against it, and could be successful second
that Fenianism had the approval of the weay Irshmen
such ward and city politicians and of that ilk men
who about Irish independence than they do about
the independence of Tmbuctoo He tried hard to make the
audience believe that such Drs Cullen Morarty &
Co., were the Catholic Church but it could go down
with the meeting that he had the impotence address,
much surprised at his propositions for organization
of this kind that commenced to think that he had been
living in distant land such Russian America and
that he paying visit to the United States, that he
might be Jeremy Dddler of Ishman that wished
take advantage of the dsunion in the F. b. in order
to strike death blow the formidable Organization
that Ireland has had since 49, Organization that the
Church has not condemned Will not those wealthy Irish
men that Mr.. OBren has reference to assume the
attitude towards England that Fenansm does? Do they
imagine that England will grant Irish independence to the
moral agaors of this date when she denied it to the great
OConne with population of eight millions at his back
This Dillon OBren has forgotten the lesson that England
taught the Irish people Conarf at OF those monster
meetings. that with regiment of infantry and some police
she scattered about hundred thousand led by the
great but mistaken OConne and imprisoned the leaders for
presuming to ask for native parliament 1t is my firm
belief that organization of this kind would be what that
perfdious Government would want in order to draw he
Irish people and the Fenian Brotherhood from their present
road of manly independence and take quill instead of
the rife Look at Engands position to-day sending her
