IRISH WRANGLE-

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-The sessions of the
Irish convention hitherto have been little
more than one prolonged wrangle. Inves-
LEGATIONS to the qualifications of members
are being concluded. A committee was
appointed to investigate the finances
Their inquiry developes the fact that q
clique of politicians are now in control OF
the fund The finance committee appoint,
ed by this meeting interrogated John Dew
eny who is one of the trustees of the skir-
mishng fund. and also Il trustee of the
Clan Ma Gael fund. He refused point
blank to make any statement, and the
other trustees joined in the refusal. After
a heated discussion, the meeting adjourned
until evening hoping that some adjustment
would be possible, but they were unable to
make any. The charges are that the con
duct of the trustees had been most scan
dalous and they have appropriated funds
to improper uses.
P w Grove, who has not been in the
meeting, but has all the facts, in an inter
view charges that the trustees, including
Alex Sullivan of Chicago; DR.. VIM. Car
roll, of Philadelphia; P. K. Walsh, OF
Cleveland; Griffin of Utiea Broslin, Andy
Brown and others have squandered the
funds that they were paid 800 per month
managed the affair as q close corporation,
expelling the honest members and supply
ing their places with those they could con
troll; that they used Dacuhy for political
purposes, and a determined effort is now tC
be made to drive them to the wall. 1t is
headed by Col Mike Boland, of Louisville
O'Brien of Providence, and O'Connor OF
La Sale Those who control the funds
are among the ablest members of the con
vention. Grove thinks that the more un
scrupulous element will prevail. If they
do not, the Clan Ma Gaels are things of the
past.
To-night's session continues to be 6
wrangle. The fund alleged squandered is
composed of S20,000 collected by the Clan
Ma Gales, and the $92 600 skirmishine
fund. Grove makes the astonishing state
ment that the internal machines, about
which SO much has been said, costs but

SECOND BULLETIN.
1855 a. m-The continues fever, which
has been the most marked feature of Presi
dents case for the past three or four days
subsided entirely during night and patients
temperature this morning was normal
for the first time since Sunday. The
breaking of fever was followed by profuse
perspiration and the rather high pulse
shown by morning bulletin is probably due
to weakness resulting therefrom. The dis
charge of pus at morning dressing was un
usually copious, showing that the wound
is now perfectly and thoroughly drained.
The drainage tube was put in again and
the wound washed out with weak solution
of carbolic acid and water. Since the
dressing the patient has taken nourishment
in shape of milk and lime water and at
this hour is quiet and comfortable. The
surgeons report he is doing well.

the remedy above named for their cure was
then made by the speaker, who continued:
| am aware prejudice exists against pro
prietary medicines, and that such prejudice
is too often well founded, but we should dis
eriminate in our judgments and not con-
denim all because some are Inefficient The
merits of Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure have been proven beyond doubt, be-
cause they deal directly with the causes Of
all female troubles; they effect and control
| the body of the tree rather than its branches.
| Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure has
indeed been blessing for the rich a boon
! to the poor. 1t has lifted men from a bed
of death and restored them to vigor and
health. But greater and better than all
this, it has come to woman, has raised her,
restored her and kept her in constant hope
fulness and health. 1t has kept back dis
ease by fitting the system to resist its at
tacks; it has regulated the life, purified the
sources of life, and brought innumerable
blessings out of numberless woes.
The women of America, both young and
DID, have greater opportunities to-day than
those of any land in any age. Their rights
are more fully recognized, their privileges
greater and their possibilities unlimited.
They are permitted to enjoy life to its full
est extent, and to do this their bodies must
be unimpaired. l congratulate the women
of this free land that the keenness of their
perceptions has led them to discover their
necessities and what will satisfy them. 1
congratulate them that they, who have
reaped the greatest benefits from the scien-
tifc researches of independent investiga-
ton, are to-day the most enthusiastic pro-
Chalmers of the merits Of this great remedy
of which l have spoken. The spirit of in
+ tolerance, may say in conclusion, so ram
pant in this age OF free investigation when
all things are judged by what they are and
not by what they seem, must eventually
give way to the better, wiser, nobler iber-
atty in which alone can be found true Sc
curity, true peace, true health and true hap
