hand shaking was indulsea, and General
Williams, in his sxubsrancs OF fsalings,
said that the ssnHmsnts amounted By

he had been raised In that belief and
that he endorsed them. When such sx-
pressions became known, the Irish Cath.

Last evening the Democratic sandi.

also to induce General Williams 10 de-

We were not aware before that a fran
