ounce of dynamite that they explode binds the hands

much longer the day of IrelaEds Independence It is
evil work and if it be pursued it will chill the sym
pathy and enlist the indifference of country which
has given home to millions of Irish people. Such
unnatural and abominable warfare cannot long en-

Roth the ree-trade and the protective factions are
claiming Mr.. Cleveland as advocate of their views
but neither of them has much proof to support its
claims as it desires The campaign mortgaged the
administration TO both factions and now the question
is which one has been cheated. Wholly antagonstic
principles cannot have triumphed in Cevelands cleo

admit themselves beaten Hence the anxiety for some
decisive word from the Presdent-elect, and, rs he
