while pretending to advocate his cause 1t will be
remembered that when the sand lot orator
reached his mothers home in Brighton the doughty
warrior who then aspiring to be Governor
OF the old Bay State, called upon Denis in formal
way and had long conference with him. The re-
suit OF that conference was sold 70 few papers by
one Carl Browne, who came here with Kearney his

money the substance OF the Brighton in

his chief the money derived from his little transac-
tion. Whenever Kearney invited to speak before
any labor society he always stipulated that the
penses OF himself and secretary be paid What
rangements were made around Boston do not know,
but Browne accompanied the spouting drayman on his
journey through the Middle and Western States and
evidently picked up few dollars in his way for

If he made that statement, it is lie. don't

looked considerably confused He evidently saw that
his game was exposed. He knew that Browne had
