II suffers momentary depression from thiS
cause now.
The outbreak of the war in Egypt tended in
some degree to counterfeit this feeling. Inc
effort to strike Great Britain from Thlrd-ave,
and the Bowery not proving an Immediate anu
unduestoned success, it was hoped that
demonstration from the other side might Do
more effective, and that the destruction OF tne
British arlny in Egypt by that earnest patriot
Arab Bey might lead to the loosenlng OF the
tyrants grasp. Great hopes were built upon
Arab. The County Democracy, though taking
no formal action, were known to be IN fuii
svmpathy with him, they having heretofore
passed resolutions touching the woes of Ireland
and the duty Of Great Britain which left no
doubt as to their position. Tammany wonld
undoubtedly have passed resolutions on the
subject il Mr.. Kellys time had not been so
much occupied in preparing for the state
Convention. Several organizations dld pass
resolutions of sympathy with Arab, whlch
would undoubtedly have prolonged the war II
Arab had only heard of them i'll time. But
before Arab could learn that the Irishmen
of America were sympathizing with him and
looking to him for the deliverance of their
native land, he was prisoner and the war
was over. Here was another piece of bad luck
for Ireland.
But a worse portent hovers. 1t is whispered
that there is opposition to the denomination OF
Congressman William L. Robinson, OF
Brooklyn. This is worse if possible, than the
conspiracy against Perry Belmont. There can
be but one explanation of it, of course. Inc

least doubt, would willingly pay as much to
secure Robinsons defeat as Blame would to
overthrow Perry Belmont. Robinson has

a stone unturned to carry out their wicked
purposes. Fortunately, however, Robinson,
like Belmont, has heard of the conspiracy "

Samuel Cox is in his moments OF wrath, he
cannot frighten Great Britain alone nearly as
much as he and Robinson can together. 1t
would not only be dreadful thing for Ireland
if Robinson should be defeated, but it would
leave Cox too much to do. Let us hope that
the British conspiracy and the Blaine con-
