Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1882-05-13


FosToN, May "a public meeting of
Irishmen was held in Faneuil Hall tonight
to condemn the recent assassinations in
Dublin. There was an immense crowd, and
speeches were delivered by many prominent
1rishmeu. The feature of the evening, and
one which created the widest enthusiasts N,
was the advent of Mr.. H. Miller, bearing
of the Orange Order of Massachusetts,.
Mr.. Miller, speaking for his order, not
alone in Massachusetts, but in the whole
United States, said that the Orangemen
were in full sympathy with the purposes of
the meeting, and made the announcement
that the Orangemen were ready and most
willing to bury the Ratchet of discord. He
denounced the accusation that the deed had
been perpetratcd by Irishmen or friends of
ireland, and promised the utmost co-opera-
ton on the part of his order with the Land
League to bring the murderers to Justice.
The letter of the grand master was read to
the meeting as follows:
To the Chairman of the Indignation Meeting,
Faneun Hall:
DEAR SIR-we, representatives of the Orangemen
of Boston, desire TO express our cordial sympathy
the act the most un-irish and are perfectly per-
suaded that no member OF the Land League or
plorable outrage. Allow us, through our repre-
sentative, TO convey TO you our cordial indorse-
and adopt. D. N. MCINTYRE, &. X.
Resolutions condemning the crime and re-
pudiating the idea that it was concocted in
America were adopted.
Anti. DEMONSTRATION N Getting at New York
New YORK, May 12.-Mayor Grace pre-
sided tonight at an Irish anti-assassination
meeting in Cooper Union, which was
crowded. Anticipating trouble from the
O'Donovan Rosa faction, 100 policemen were
distributed throughout the hall, and the Land
Leagues placed so that they could assist the
officers if necessary. Rosa himself sat in
the center of the hall with several police
men near him. Miss Parnell, as she appeared
on the platform, was received with respect,
and as the names of the leaders in Ireland
were mentioned the building resounded
with applause. During Mayor Grace's open
ing address he said: As Irishmen they had
rence-of the crime in Phoenix Park Saturday
last, and to condemn the men who conceived
the murder. (Voice-"Three cheers for
the killing."l Richard Agerman,
patriot of '4S, as he arose to speak,
was greeted with cries of "three cheers for
the assassins, !" dynamite" etc. The crime,
Agerman said, was unnatural, and he repu-
dated the idea that the deadly weapons were
welded by Irish hands Ireland could not
meet England in a conflict, and the way to
success was through Charles Stewart Parnell
and his associates. America does not want
war with England, though the American
people knew that Justice had not been done
Ireland, and they want the Irish to succeed
If the path laid out was followed, home rule
would prevail. The bill for the repression
of crime allowed search for weapons to be
made by day or night, and is an insult that
might cause a collision.
The resolutions adopted declare that the
assassination was crime calling for the
strongest condemnation of all friends of Ire
land, and that Gladstone's promise of con-
ciliation is proved by the last act of his gov
ernmc Mt to be vain and empty, and that his
determination to adopt policy still more
coercive than the one ne has claimed to
abandon is impolitic and unwise, and justi-
fies resort to every legitimate means for
frustr ting the purposes of English tyranny
and securing the realization of self-govern-
ment for Ireland.
Major Patrick Horigan, of Meagher's
brigade, was vice-president of the meeting.
He asked to read additional resolutions TO
those presented by the committee. Rosssites
and personal friends of the majors shouted
$50 on" Another crowd as Justify roared
"Shut up" "bounce him." etc. These cries
angered Major Horigan, and he turned and
spoke sharply to those on the platform. He
then read his resolution. 1t is az follows:
Resolred, That while it may be deemed matter
OF e1pedency to express regret for the Staying of
York, in mass-meetIng assembled, express our
greater regret that England should still continue
her old-tme practice of numbering our people in
Ireland by buckshot, by the bayonet and starva-
ton; and st is deemed more becoming that we,
the representatives, of the Irish in this great
metropolis of America, should express SYM
pathy with Gladstone's murdered victims of evic-
ton than by panderfng to the wishes of the Lord
Sorths of to-day, who are worthy descendants OF
the butchers of the Wyoming and Cherry Valley
massacres in our own fair land and of Drogheda
and Wexford in the land of our birth.
The resolution created a commotion, and
DIR. Wallace, president of one of the branches
of the Land League, Indignantly denied that
the League had pandered to any such tastes.
Yells and cries OF all kinds proceeded from
every part of the hall. The committee on
resolutions quickly accepted Major Hori-
gan's contribution, and all were adopted with
cheers.
Mrs. Parnell said her son did not leave
Paris as soon as expected, owing to warnings
OF assassination, but moi to be committed by
1rishmen. Redpath also made a speech,
and the meeting was adjourned to cries of
dublin cut Cavendish and will cut Forster"
