ELECTION TROUBLES
81 thought the Pope was averse to people having
anything to say TO the eectons2"
Eyes, to the elections for government Offices because
that would imply approval and acquesoence in what
has been done But this not the with respect to
he municipal elections Taking part in them implies
ratification OF the past and it is OF great importance
that they should JOIN those municipal elections be
the municipal councils the administration OF
the schools With respect to the elections for the
Legislature opinions divided Some contend that
good Catholic lawfully have anything to say to
them; others maintain the opposite view. The Pope
does not at present approve Of any taking part in
such elections or this is not the with
gard to the old portions Of the Kingdom that came
rightfully to Victor Emmanuel Here there be
doubt that every justified in taking part the
elections in those provinces only with respect
to the other parts of Italy that 1t held be right
proper TO vote otherwise interfere In the cleo
tons. But my opinion is that they will have to
come TO this also and make full of the privileges
allowed them by the law Poor Victor Emmanuel
There is a good deal Of sympathy with him. He has
faith and he knows the wrongfuness Of what is being
done He knows his own throne is a ottcring con-
dition. The radicals have sympathy FOR him, for
they well know he is not their side"

VISIT TO THE ROMAN cATHoIc CATHEDRAL
The midday service yesterday in the Roman Catholic
Cathedral specially interesting by the presence ofwo
cardinals unparalleled Irish eccicsiastca
annals Cardinal McCloskey reached Dublin SO late on
Saturday evening that arrangements could well be
made as to his which would admit OF their
being made known to the public Many persons in Dub
lin did know OF his arrival till this morning Be
Sides unreasonable suppose that after the
very rough passage he had had endure His Emnence
would prefer remaining at home. However, when
about p NJ. Saturday, he learned that Cardinal
Cullen had engaged TO be present at the
high mass in the Cathedral the Cardina,
Archbishop Of New York at once declared his
wish also TO assist at it sort Of rumor got about
Sunday morning that the American Cardinal would be
present in the Cathedral The result was that by
twelve O'Clock great congregation filled every part OF
the church. 1t clearly fortunate that more
authentic publicity had not been given Of the novel
solemnity otherwise the crowd would have been ex-
cessive. AZ it was the congregation surpassed that
present on the occasion Of the 0'Connell Centenary
PROCESSION.
At twelve O'Clock the procession issued from the side
chapel of st. Kevn and wended its way up through
the nave The two cardinals came last, walking to-
gether; the visitor, however, occupied the place OF
the right on arriving the altar they knelt
together prie.dieuz prepared for them and after
short prayer they ascended the platform the gospel
side OF the altar, where usually the throne OF the
Archbishop Of Dublin stands. But on this occasion
there we're two armchairs placed there and Cardinal
McCloskey conducted to the upper one All
through the mass the usual signs Of precedence
were given to the distinguished visitor Thus
he blessed the and the deacon before
chanting the gospel He also received first .the kiss
or peace . which was sent before the communion by
the officiating clergyman. At the conclusion Of the
mass the officiating clergy retired and the Cardinal OF
New York assembled the altar, and gave his solemn
benedicton to the congregation in most impressive
manner which quite awed the asscmbiage
After the mass the procession was again formed re-
turning 10 the side chapel by the way came AS il
moved down the nave all eyes were fixed on the
American Cardinal, whose appearance marked
contrast TO that Of Cardinal Cullen Though only six
years Ills junior yet Cardinal NcCloskey looked the
younger by fully twelve years
