The morning star and Catholic messenger. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1868-1881, 1874-03-15

perhaps, to the Louth election Is that LOT tne
county of Limerick. The reader will remem-
Der that devoted q recent letter to this mat
ter exclusively, and that there predicted that
Mr.. O'Sullivan would be returned by sweep
ing majority, notwithstanding that the Bishop
and clergy had supported Mr.. Kelly. said
that the action of this venerated body was
hugo mistake. The result justifies me, for Mr..
O'Sullivan received 1891 votes, Mr.. Synan $500,
and Mr. Kelly only 995. For the full signif-
canoe of this result refer the reader to my
letter already alluded to have now merely
to add, that it is most lamentable that the
Bishop and Clergy allowed themselves to be
separated in the contest from their people by
o very Rev. dignitary who has capacity for
laundering, though he has an honest, patriotic
heart--I mean Dean O'Brien. Next I may no
tice the election for county Galway. Three
candidates presented themselves-Mr. Mitchell
Henry, one of the late members and q most
excellent man I; Captain Nolan, the gentleman
unseated by Judge Keogh in the ever-notorious
Galway judgment and the author of the
Portacarron Restoration, and Mr.. DARCY,
thorough Nationalist and good Catholic No
doubt at all was entertained that Mr. Henry
would be returned, for he has turned a splendid
l. patriot; the contest lay really for the second
seat, between Captain Nolan and Mr.. Darcy.
Had the Galway judgment never been deliver
ed, Mr.. Darcy would probably have been
elected, but the people felt bound to prove
Judge Keogh a liar when he said that Captain
Nolan had in 1872 been returned by clerical
intimidation, and moreover they felt bound to
reward the man who first practically proclaim
ed that restoration is the true and only COM
pensation for capricious eviction and they
consequently elected by an immense majority
Messrs. Henry and Nolan, placing the latter at
the head of the poll. The Galway judgment
is now reversed, indeed; and the bishops
priests and people of Galway have their re.
vepge for the foul-mouthed and lying denun-
Citations of Judge -Keogh. Lastly, 1 would
notice the Cavan County election, the res u1
of which was declared to-day. Hitherto this
Ulster County has been represented by pail
of Orange Torics-black enemies of every
thing Irish and Catholic and some time since
it would be thought the height Of folly for any
one to think that such fellows would evel
cease to be representatives. But as soon as
tie dissolution was announced, the patriotic
Bishop of Clogher, DR.. Conaty, his clergy, and
the leading Catholic lay electors of the coun
ty met and chose two Home Rule candidates
and the result is that the two have been re
turned by an immense majority over theil
! Orange opponent, and the county has beer
won forever for Ireland and Catholicity
Cavan is the key of the North, and at the mex
election what has been done there will be don'
in many another Ulster County. The fact is
that had the ballot been in operation always
this glorious result would long since have beer
: achieved. In conclusion, the elections hav'
been great triumph for the Irish nationa
! party-that u.s. the mass of the people-ove
| the English garrison party; and they indicate
still greater triumph for the same party a
the next opportunity. J. J. c.
