wherever it was practicable.
Mr.. w. II. Donahoe followed in a few
eloquent remarks which were well re-
ceived.
Father Connolly, of Kilkenny, said he
was delighted in being present to cooper
ate with his countrym men IN forwarding the
cause of his native land. The people of
Kilkenny are earnest and enthusiastic in
the cause and he trusted such work would
be accomplished by this gathering as
would make it 'shot' for old England.
Mr.. James Dillon in response to a call
said he came to transact bust
ness, to promote the interests
of the Irish National League, and not to
display his oratorical abilities. He there
fore begged to be excused.
The Hon. Ed A. McDermott said he
was proud to see SO fine representation
of Irishmen from all parts of Minnesota
come together for the advancement of the
cause of Ireland.
The leaders at home are deserving of
our support. They have given indisput-
able proof of their ability, honesty and in
tegrity, and have obtained measures of
reform of great value to the country.
They are men of muscle, brains and "grit,''
who have accomplished stupendous labors
in spite of great odds. They have
successfully obstructed legislation in the
alien house of parliament and through
persistent and unceasing activity and vigil
ance have procured remedial measures for
Ireland. They consequently deserve our
support and they shall get it.
Mr.. O'Phelan said money is what is
| needed to succor Ireland. Every Irish
| man1in every school district of the state
should constitute himself committee CT
| one to collect funds to forward this cause
| in which they are engaged. He referred
| to O'Donnell, the slayer of Carey, and be-
| lieved that Messrs. Sabin and Strait
should be requested to exert themselves in
| his behalf in obtaining q fair trial for
O'Donnell if he is an American citizen.
Mayor O'Briep, of st. Paul, being called
upon stepped to the platform and spoke
substantially as follows: He thought this
convention had met 10 do work and not to
listen to talking. He had always felt that
it is always better for Irishmen to work
more and talk less. 1t is absolutely neces-
| sary that Irishmen should work and stand
| together in every relation of life; they
should feel impressed with the fact that
whatever Irishmen get they get through
hard knocks. He spoke of the importance
of being united and facetiously referred
to the late political contest in st. Paul,
where united effort prevailed and defeated
even his own exertions. He had always
been in hearty sympathy with the Irish
cause and was ready and willing to assume
any work delegated to him to aid the
cause of the isle of his fathers. In season
and out of season, when work is to be
l he Gu mil 10
any duty assigned him for the benefit of
i, Ireland.
