pie. Irish Americans can, if they will,
obtain recognition in that country where
every man Is his own master. My blood
boils, boils with indignation whenever I
hear the Irish name used with scorn.
The English nation is responsible for
the act of every informer, for the act of
Irishmen which will bring the blush to the
cheek. Shall it go UNPUBLISHED,
no, a thousand times no.
l am in sympathy with the Irish heart, and
in sympathy with the crusaders, and it is
this sympathy which will strive to over
throw the indomitable tyrannical rule of
England.

patty of the Irlsh Americans. If there is

William Louis Kelly, in the absence o.

on resolutions, which was prefxed by al
excellent Introduction in an address which
was listened to with marked interest. HI
spoke of the Irish people, scattered
| throughout the civilized world. He SPOKE
of the organization of the society; of the
| Irish Americans meeting to discuss tn,
trials and woes of the green isle; coming
together to discuss what may seem to out
| siders abstract propositions. Here are
gentlemen who but a few years ago
left Ireland, there are others who neve
saw Ireland, and who perhaps never vii
see Ireland, but through them ell flows on
| common blood, who are united in strug
| Cling for Ireland. l believe there doe
not live the Irishman who would not will
ingly, if the opportunity be given him
she'd ths last drop of blood for Ireland anC
for her freedom, although he never saw
Ireland, never breathed the pure atmos
phere of the green isle. God, in hi
providence, will Fever permit tina
love to die out from his heart
! he must intend through his good time TO
lift the cloud so that we may see Ireland
free, and We may visit her soil free ant
dependent citizens of national repub
lie. Applause.
