by Lord Harrington at Belfast Thursday.

body had been the curse of Ireland and
that all of them were ready to sell the
country for the first mess Of political pOr-
ridge offered them. The statement that
there was an offensive and defensive alli-

was false. The Conservatives would be
delighted to unite with the Ulster Wings

tar bv the President, as Bit of Con-
olatIon-The New Civil Service Com
mission.
w.sHrNGToN, Nov. 6.-Congressman
sorinoer. of Illinois, had long talk with
,5o President today about his protege,
chief Justice Vincent, of New Mexico.
u.nleaded MIR. Vincents cause as elO-
.,ontlv as though it had been his own.
IN reoly the President told him that while
ur Vincents reinstatement was out OF
,bo question, he was willing to say that
ba considered him an honorable and fair
minded man, whose selection of Mr.. Dor
sey for an important trust was. his only
cnlpable act as Chief Justice.
VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCES,
Accepting MIR. Vincent's explanation
mat MIR. Dorsey was really one OF the
yerv few men in ColfaX county who were
6t for the duty of preparing jury lists, and
hat his selection was approved by the
'osS s,to.rov nov General of the Territory, it
ronld seem that Mr.. Vincent was largely
tbp victim of circumstances. There is no
otber charge against him, and this charge
IL offset bv numerous letters and tele-
Grams from New Mexico and Illinois in
Wr Vincent's behalf. Nevertheless, the
President told Mr.. Vincent the appoint
ment of Mr.. Dorsey was wrong, and Mr.
Vincent must be punished for it.
REMOVAL THE PUNISHMENT.
His punishment is his removal from
Dfice. This cannot be remitted, but the
President will probably say in some
formal way that apart from this Dorsey
episode, Mr. Vincent's,Otiicial and personal
conduct appears to have been excellent.
Mr., Vincent went to his home, Springfield,
Il.. tonight, believing that this formal
statement from the President will take
the form of letter which he can publish
as his VindicatiOn.
THE NEW COMMISSION.
The plan for organizing the new Civil
Service Commission has been somewhat
