HOFFMAN DENOUNCED ny A lIIDERNIAN'-
A THREATENING sPRECH.
AT an Indignation meeting OF Irish
American citizens in tho 10Th Ward last
night, StephenJ J. Meany, in speech, said;
"How can we avenge the blood Of the
men which has been she'd How are we
to secure proper protection in this country
Tor men OF our own raceS Shall Orange
men and know.nOthings rule this city !
Never never Shall the scenes ot
Wednesday last be permitted again"
When he saw the dead on Wednesday,
said the speaker, his blood Cnrdled in bis
soul, and he prayed to God that he would
live to see the day when. the act
would be avenged. (Cheers) 1t was
hard to see armed rulians striking down
innocent men and women for the
crime Of looking upon the foolish Orange
men. Women had been made widows,
and children orphans, for the caprice Of
one man in Albany, who came to New
York to revoke tho humane order OF the
Mayor "a voice; "Hang him on a
lamp.post."O Mr. Meany-"NO, my
friends, pledge myself that every drop
of blood shed on that day shall be legally
avenged Il there Is any law in New York.
Never again shall such an occurrence be
permitted in New York. Never again
shall organized rufIians be allowed 10 In
suit Irish citizens who have fought to up
hold the Constitution ofthe United States.
(Cheers.) The Legislature must prohibit
such professions in the future. 1t Is said o
prospectus will soon DO issued in Williams
burg, 70 obtain the nameA of the native
Americans, to organize an order 70 be call
ed the United Sons OF America. 1t cannot
do less than the English House OF Com
mons, which prohibits tho Orange pro.
cessions in Ireland. When was an Or
angeman found fighting the battles of the
UnionS The Hibernians and Catholics
kept aloof from tho procession that day.
II they had not done so, there would be
a different story to tell. If the law does
not vindicatO itself then may say some
thing else to you at another time. Gov.
Hoffman should never receive the votes OF
IrIshmen Never Never"
