REPRESENTATION OF MONAGHAN.
The nomination Of candidates for the
vacant seat Of Monaghan will take place
on Monday. Four gentlemen in all have
claimed the SURFACES of the electors. Mr..
H. o. Lewis-a Catholic-has come for
ward as a supporter of tho Ballot, an advo.
cate of denominational education aud OF
Grand Jury Reform, and sympathlser
with His Holiness, the Pope. MIR. Leslie,
brother of the late member, processes the
old, we'll known creed of the Tories, the
articles Of which he does not think it
necessary to specify. Mr.. John Mcmahon,
Catholic barrister, appeals to the con-
stituency on much the same grounds al MT.
Lewis, abiding, in addition, in mysteri-
GUS and utterly unsatisfactory manner, TO
the question Of Home Rule. Finally, MT;
John Madden, of Hilton Park, member OF
the Home Government Association, has
come forward on Home Rule principles.
We are not astonished, nor can Mr.. Mao.
den himself be astonished, that some OF
the Catholic clergy and people OF Mona
CHAN should incline to view his canoioa-
ture as that of an ultra Protestant rather
than that of Home Rule advocate. NOT
all in day can the past be forgotten by
either side in q place like Monaghan; and
we desire to speak with the utmost con-
sideration and respect to those among the
Catholic clergy and people OF that county
candidktu in friendly light. But gladly
VIII the s6ews ba hailed in ireland that
even amongst the Catholic clergy of Mona
CHAN, SO nobly does patriotism rise above
tho EN- bitterments of past party struggles
or present religious antipathies, that IN
many districts they have frankly and bold
Iy declared they will vote for Mr.. Madden,
on the Home Rule issue, if they vote at all!
In truth, the Catholics of Monaghan,
priests and people, desire to strike q blow
for the old country If they can. They are
rather perplexed and embarrassed by
recognizing in the Home Rule advocate q
, gentleman with whom on important issues
In the past they have been in strong con-
fict, Still not q few of them intelligently
appreciate the duties of the new state OF
things now existing, and they made noble
sacrifice of prejudice and resentment In
order to aid the good and holy work OF

Mrs. Johnston and her family have un-
dertaken to supply the deficiency whicn
recent secessions have effected for Mr..
johnson. The lady and her children left
belfast ON Wednesday at the head of q
huge procession en- route for the town OF
Comber. They sat in a carriage which
was bedizened with orange pharaphernaiia
lilies in the horses heads, drums and nses
in full party cry, and o couple OF miles
length of men marching in open dehanct
love Ireland with a love unspeakabie
and whose affection for their Catholic
countrymen is the boast of all their ora
tors. Our correspondent telegraphs tina
