ENGLAND AND FREE TRADE.
Captaln p II. McNamee, president Of the Irish
American AntFree-Trade League, was busy all day
Yesterday at his home, No. 449 West Forty sevenths,
receiving many of the Republican leaders in the Aith
Congress District who called to thank him for his
LOYALTY to the party retiring from the contest for
the nomination for Congress in that district. The
Indipendent Labor men had nominated him, and the
Anti Frce-Trade League had indorsed this action.
Z" IL was merely for the sake of the party he said,
that consented to have my name put forward In The
first instance; because, being an 1rish-Amercan, l
believed that with the support of large portion OF
that vote in the district successful fight might have
been made.'
"Will Lord Sackvilles letter prove damaging 70 the
Democracy ~ he asked
Il feel certain that II WILL" lie replied " 1t is no
play upon words to say that he will prove the worst
kind of a Burchard for the Democracy. Mr. Blainc's
telling speech In Newark presents the matter in the
clearest light have yet seen, and 1t ought to DO
printed and circulated

only necessary that it was there, and we
have done that. We sSall merely make the fact a

thusasm. 81 affirm that 1t is an uprising In behalf
