Hayes on the Irishmen.

In 1896, while RUTHERFoRD b. HAYES
was member of the House OF Representa-
tiyes, the Fenian movement for the liberia
ton of Ireland had taken large proper
tons, and attracted much sympathy III the
United states. Meetings were held to give
expression to this feeling, and as our civil
war had closed the year before there was
bitter and deserved resentment toward
England for her course during that strug-
gle.
On June IL, 1866, Mr.. ANcoSA, then
Democratic member from PENNSYLVANIA,
representing the Reading district, offered
the following preamble and resolution in
the House of Representatives:
