ASSASSINATION of Lord Frederick Cayendish

now to tell you who the two
assassins in Phoenix Park were
political desperation and Nihilism. The
| names of the two miserable men with
knives are OF comparatively little impor
tance. The name of the two principals
which sent them out on their bloody err
rand is of incompatible importance. Po-
litical desperation! There were COOL in

saw with 6smay that the day of good feel

last desperate is no more Irish than he is
