The Protest of an Injured MAN.
EDITOR HERALD.-The Times of this morn
ing states that the resolutions published by
the HERALD a. having been adopted at the
late meeting Of Irish Democrats were never
read to the meeting. This statement Is a de
liberatc falsehood. as the man who wrote It
well knew The resolutions were not only
read but written In the hall OF Confidence
Engine Company after the meeting was
called TO order. The resolutions adopted at
the meeting Of the bogus Irish Republican
Club were written by Col Walter S. Moore
The Times further asserts that the Examiner
report is false. say the Examiner report is
correct and that the Times report is a wilful
misrepresentation OF what took place at the
meeting. And not only did fifty Irishmen
not sign the roll Of the Republican Club Of
the city OF Los Angeles, but l assert that In
all Los Angeles county nifty Irishmen cannot
be found who VIII agree 10 vote the Republi.
can ticket. The Irish Of Los Angeles are In
deed easily deceived and are worthy of the
low estimate the Republican managers place
on their intelligence II they can be cajoled
into voting for Blaine by men whoare mem
bers OF the Patriotic Order Sons Of America.

call him, declared frankly that he had re-

were held and that Boyce still held his notes
for SIS, and was Cumming him for the money
every time he met him. That those parties
had notre warded him for services already
performed for them, among which was the
endorsing Markham. Subsequently Turner
came to me and said the colored Democrats

Turner again asked for money and was
again informed that the Democratic party
was not buying any votes and Mr.. Turner

channels in which he thought Mr.. Turner
could be useful and he sought him out and

anything. The men who procured 1t knew
that Turner was perjuring himself when he

with the tactics pursued by the men who are
at present running the Republican party in
this county. Yours Truly,
