At the conclusion Of Judge Fitzger-
AIDS address. Alexander Sullivan from
his place in about the centre of the con-
vention, arose and offered the following
resolutions:
Resolpcd. That the delegates from each

bers of the committee en- resolution as the
Representatives OF Ireland. a-L
The purpose of the appointment of
our brothers from Ireland is two fold:
First, that their counsel may make il
impossible 70 give expression to a word
which could embarrass the Irish leader;
second, that the world may behold the
perfect unity of the Irish and Irish
American sentiment.

set for the beginning Of the night ses-
sion, the committee on credentials
were stin in session at the Grand Pa
cific, with closed doors, and the pro-
ceedings in the Central Music Hall had
not yet commenced. At $50 the hall
was filed to overlooking. and as JUDGE
Fitzgerald let fall the gavel hush came
over the convention, while the tall form
of Michael DaYitt was seen making his
way 10 the stage. Dayitt was called
upon almost as soon as he entered the
hall. and despite the protest Of the
audience rising TO their feet and
cheering wildly, he rose TO say that
he had been heard often, and that he
would simply introduce his friend Mr..
O'Brien, editor of sthe United IrelGRd.
Davitt spoke of O'Brien in unstinted
terms Of praise as q patriot II know
that you viii be delighted TO hear from

In BIS speech, o'Brien said: 18th is
