great crowds who came to hear his voice

There is one fact connected with the
death of Cardinal McCabe that raises very
high the hopes OF the Nstionalists in Dab
lin and throughout the country. The
caEons have chosen as Vicar Capitular, to
administer the diocese during the vacancy
OF the see, the President of Maynoo.h Col
lege, the Very Rev. DIR. Walsh, one Of the
foremost scholars in the Irish priesthood,
and man of well known and warm Nation
slistsympsthies. In day or two the
clergy OF the diocese in convocstion will
vote for three persons among whom the Holy
Sc Will choose the future Archbishop OF
Dublin. II is to be hoped that DR.. Walsh's
name viii be the very first, aud that the
Holy Father may be inspired to appoint him
20 The vacant dignity. This appointment
would be celebrated as q national triumph
1t would heal forever the wound inflicted
6y the Sinleoni circular 1t would restore
10 the Holy Father the confidence and sfsc-
ton Of the whole Irish race all over the
and affection seriously
imperilled by the unfortunate circular aud
by the encouragement given in Rome to the
iotrigues Of Of Errington and the snti-lrish
clique.
Of course We know that already the
clique are at work to secure the nomination
of such friends Of England as DR.. Moran,
Archbishop Of Sidney. His nomination, or
that of any one with his political leanings,
would open guilt between the Holy See
and the Irish nation.
