Mr.. r. w. Kelley. engineer Of engine
No. 25, gave his lecture on ireland
and the Irish" last Sunday. The sub
ject was suggested to the talented
young Ohio democrat by remark
made by some parties in the postoffce,
that If the Irish did not like America
they had better go home. Mr.. Kelley
in mastery manner showed the acts
and achievements Of the Irish, in all
the wars in which our country has been
engaged, going back thirteen years be-
fore the Declaration Of Independence
to the formation of that immortal band
of Patriots, the "Sons of Liberty who
were the foundation germ Of American
Independence. He recited and recount
ed in very lucid and impressive man
ner the Names sud the heroic action of
lrishmen in our own times. At the
close be received well deserved round
Of applause.
Senator Maclay followed and stated
that his mother, now Saint in Heaven,
was born in ireland, and that the Irish
always did their duty. From our
standpoint this settles the matter The
verdict is the Irish may remain in
