ments and the point OF leaving his Office to attend
meeting of the Sinking Fund Commissioners ut
the Mayors Office. When he was asked to give ex-
preston to his views touching Mr.. Corbin's mani
festo Mr. Kelly paused and looked serious. After
moments hesitation he said: 81 don't to
press any opinion on the controversy going No.
| really can't go into the discussion that is taking
place, and must be excused from saying anything"
May or Cooper received the reporter smingly, but
the smile departed giving place to thoughtful
preston when the reporter made known the object

AN IRISH JEW INDIGNANT.
Mark Lanigan, the Fourth ward politician, spoke
warmly on the subject. 81 REPRESENT" he re-
marked facetiously. 1.-THE Fourth ward Jews, for
some people say am an Irish jew. That being the
case, and assuming to speak for them, wish to
say ths-that think MIR. Corbin's action very
cruel one toward us. 1t is making a general attack
on race. / look little like a Jew myself; don't

Ex-Alderiuan Michael Inomey said he was strongly
opposed to the whole question of prejudice against
people and did not what grounds they
based. He thought Mr.. Corbin had made great
mistake in prescribing Jews from enjoying the
benefits of ms place OF resort. Ii would be difficult,
he thought, to conceive OF any man in public po-
sition making greater error than Mr. Corbn had
Assembiyman Thomas +. Grady said that he was
strongly opposed to distinction of the character
lately made. 1t was ui- American, undemocratic. and
opposed 10 the spirit OF our institutions When re-
lgion or politics are brought to bear in social qres

hardly have made greater one from cyory point OF
view.
