can Politics to be Tolerated.
BosToY, MASS, August 13.-The hotels
to-day are filed with the prominent Irish
agitators of the United States, called
here by the meeting OF the National
League at Faneuil Hall. The arrival
which attracted the most attention and
caused the most enthusiasm was that Of
Thomas Sexton, Irish Nationalist men,
Der Of the British Parliament,
who came over expressly to
attend this meeting He reached Boston
at 10 a. m, and was met at the Provi-
dence depot by an escort and brass band,
which accompanied him TO the hotel. Mr..
Sexton had come directly from New York
after the landing of the Nevada last night,
and was very much fatigued. A grand
reception will be given him tonight.
Among the most prominent Irish
men present are Thomas Egan, ex-
Treasurer of the Land League;
Alexander Sullivan, President OF
OF the Irish National League; Rev. DR.. C.
O'Reilly, of Detroit, Treasurer of the
League; Roger +. Walsh, Chicago, State
Secretary; J. j. Curran, Chicago, State
delegate; DR.. Thos. O'Reilly, st. Louis;
2. X. Walsh, Cleveland; NJ. ". Cannon,
Iowa; and from Chicago, Henry +. Sher-
idan, National delegate A. o. of II. T.

Gibbons, Jos. p. Stanton, Mr.. S. Hy-
land, Timothy Crane, p. A. Collins,
member of Congress, and many of the
most influential citizens of Boston are
taking care of the delegates. The dis
cussion of American politics will not be
tolerated, nor will the Presidential issue
be mentioned during the Convention. 1t
is believed that Alexander Sullivan will
be reelected, although some of the IRISH
men from his own city, Chicago, are
strongly opposed to him.
GREAT EXCITEMENT.
Five hundred delegates reached Bos.
ton last night and several hundred more
arrived this morning. Much enthusiasm
prevails among the delegates. Great
preparations have been made at Faneuil
Hall. The decorations are elaborate.
The platform pier consists of triple
arch, an original design. The main
arch has in the center sun
burst seven feet in diameter, drawn back
some feet. In the middle, surmounting
this, is a golden harp in Irish pattern,
ornamented above with gilt drop, the
whole being crowned with the motto in
Irish: "More light for sacred Ireland"
On the other side are festoons of Ameri-
can and Irish flags, taste
fully arranged with excellent eff
feet. Surmounting the columns which
support the main arch are shields upon
each of which is an Irish harp in gold
relief. Overlapping each OF these are'
bannerettes, the stats of which are
tipped with battle-axes of silver. Upon
The face Of the arch is the motto: "Right
will triumph over wrong" Beneath are
testoons of green material
DECORATED WITH GILT STARS.
| Upon the left are gilt shamrocks. Upon
the right, upon either side of the main
arch, are smaller gothic arches. Sur
mounting these columns are circular
pieces two feet In diameter. These are
next the main arch, upon either side Of
a light blue ground edged with gold. In
the spaces between the main gothic
arches are panels bearing the names Of
Swift, MolyneauX, Grattan, Emmett,
| Flood, O'Connell, Davitt and Parnell
Over 5000 feet of bunting has been used
| in decorating. The effect is very i'm
| posing.
