Great Interest Manifested In It's Coming
National Convention at Boston Next
week-Twelye Thousand Delegates to be
Present.
BosTOx, August S.-The convention of
the Irish National League to be he held in
Fanueil Hall, next Wednesday and Thurs
day, has aroused great interest in Irish cir
cles in this city Upward of twelve thou
sand delegates from all parts OF the Union
and Canada will be in attendance. Mayor
Martin has proffered them, during their
stay, the hospitsGties of the city authorities
Mr. Sexton, NJ. P, will represent Mr.. Par
nell in the convention. Among the dele
gates from New York city will be John De
voy. P. j. Meehan, James W. o 'Brien and
other Irish-American editors.
Mr.. John j. Breslin of the Irish Nation,
said to-day: The personnel of the Conven-
ton will be pretty much as at the Philsdel-
phia Convention. 1t will be necessary,
however in view Of the events of last year
in Ireland, to take q few steps forward.
The declaration of principle will be much
stronger than at the last Convention. The
future policy of the league will be discussed
at length and renewed confidence in Mr..
Parnelfs leadership will be expressed"
O'Donovsn ROssa said:-"I will attend
the convention in q journalistic capacity and
as delegate. The policy Of the National
League and that which consider the true
remedy for Irelsnds ills are as opposite -as
day and night"
Mr.. Ford, of the Irish World, will not
participate in the Convention, as he is an
ally of Michael Dsvitt as opposed to the
policy of Mr.. Parnell The feeling on both
sides in the controversy is very deep seated

JUDGE FLOWER

Offers His Valuable Services to the De-
mocracy-Preparing for the New York
mpaign-Headquarter Notes-Short of
Funds.
New YORK, August 8.-The rooms of the
National Democratic Committee, at No. ii
West Twenty-fourth street, are being hand
somely furnished A large clerical force
will be quartered on the top floor. The
National and Executive Committees will
moi begin active work before Saturday. By
Monday the headquarters will be in full
blast and in working shape.
The rooms of the State Committee at the
Hoffman House are all ready. The COM
mittee has four elegantly furnished rooms
on the ground floor on the Twenty-hfth
street side of the hotel and five rooms up
stairs. The committee has better quarters
than it ever had before, and the proprietors
of the Hoffman House show the committee
men every courtesy. Mr. William Z. Smith
of Clinton of the Executive Committee, was
at the headquarters yesterday assisting in
getting things in order. Senator Michael
G. Murphy will be on hand every day, He
will devote his energies and political knowl-
edge especially to the campaign in the city.
Mr.. Roswell p Flower has rendered his
services to the committee. Mr.. Flower has
decided to take an active part in the cam
paign, and he will be of much assistance to
the committee.
The Republican National and State com
mittees are both very short offunds and find
it difficult to beg or borrow money. The
golden stream does not pour IN like it did
in 1880. Wall street has been tapped very
unsuccessfully. 1t is said that Gen. Logan
was surprised when told that the Doodle was
coming in slowly. He said that he would
see what he could do, and it is understood
that he has put himself in communication
with Jay Gould, Huntington, Cyrus w.
Field and other wealthy monopolists.

FLOWER OFFERS HIS SERVICES
Compelling Laboring Men to Become
Subscribers to the Boycotted
Rat Sheet, the Tribune.

EI.MRA, August 6. Three weeks ago the
Republicans made mighty effort to form
an Irish-Republican Club here. Only about
dozen men attended the meeting, but the
Advertiser of next day announced that l3S
signed the roll They were challenged to
print the names, but did not do so. Since
then one of the editors Of the Advertiser
has been visiting the different industrial in
stitut;ons and soliciting names. At the
rolling mills, those in charge gave the en-
ployes to understand that it would be to their
interests to hand in their names. A num-
Der ,unwillingly did so. One young man,
William McManus, handed in his name with
the Others but afterwards resolved 10 act as
he wished, and that week Joined q Cleve-
land club. The next morning he was mott
fed that his services were no longer needed.
This is only one ofthe many tricks used by
the Republicans here. They are growing
desperate, and as their clubs Aatten out one
by one they are kept continually busy devils
ing new schemes. ...-
