THE REAL NEW YORK RIOTERS.

late New York riot leave little doubt
as to the origin and responsibility OF
the conflict on the 10Th of July. The
instigating spirit of the outbreak was
not in front of the mob, but was
~prudently housed in those select cir
cIes which are wont to make Rome
howl with the story OF Southern out
RACES. The conspiracy has been dis
tinctly traced back to some of the
Radical demagoGUes, of high and
low degree. The rioters were but
the blind instruments of cunning
and desperate politicians who saw no
hope of breaking down the predomi-
nant party except by the creation of
internal feuds. leading to riot and
bloodshed and final Reorganization.
They played upon the honest i'm
pulses of the hot-headed masses to
bring about a collision between the
Catholic Irish and the Democratic
authorities-how successfully the
sequel has shown. 1t has been
shown that the Orangemen them-
selves did not desire to continue the
parade when it became known that
trouble was likely to follow. Mr..
Bond. the leader of the Orancemen.
warmly opposed the procession. and
did all he could to persuade its aban-
donment, until he was finally led to
believe that the societies. which did
not include a membership exceeding
800 would be reinforced by outside
parties, and would make the parade
at least ten thousand strong. So
strongly did Mr.. Bond feel on this
matter that after al his efforts TO
procure the abandonment of the
parade that he resigned his position
rather than become a party to q diff
Guilty which he knew would newt
ably follow. His position has been
aptlv described a that Of "a keeper
of a madhouse who had lost control
of his madmcn."
Who were the alters and abettors
of this mad scheme who we're to
reinforce the Orangemen to the
number of ten thousand? These
were they who are really re-
sponSiIle for the conflict which fol-
lowed. 1t was their insidious insti-
cations and promises which intiu-
enced the remnant OF the societies
20 insist on the procession. OF these
conspirators behind the scenes. who
were eGging on the threatened riot?
Who were they who were expected to
assume for the day the Garb and the
colors of the alien body which was
to invite a renewal inthe New World
of the s~trites and blOodshel Of the
Old? The concentrated cry and
clamor of every Radical paper in the
city affords a good indication of WHO
and what they were. The case Is
stated by the New York World when
it remarks:
Radical plo:ter> have succeeded in
causing a riot and biood>hed by abet-
ting and squirting on the O~rangernen;
but they have missed the party advan-
ta-e which they had in contemplation.
II the Radical politicians had hot taken
mp the cause of the Dran-emtn they
never wouid have thought OF masking
their defiant, provoking parade. A.
the crisis approached. the Orange
leaders desired to retreat. but the Rad
ical influence would MOI permit il.
These reckless Radicals. who had in
>ti"ated the procession i'll order to
make party capital out of ii, desired a
RIO by which they hoped 10 profit.
The ITO they succeeded in producing:
but, like The apples OF >odonl, it
has proved dust and ashes in their
mouths
