The Land League.

There was large attendance at the
Irish league meeting in Killers hall last
evening. Vice President Jas. W. CavanN
augh presided, and John Mulqueen acted
us secretary. In calling the meeting to or.
der Mr.. G. said it was the intention the
coming week TO replace the argan with a
piano He then introduced Mr.. E. NJ,
Sharon. of Davenport, who SAID the Irish
question has been so thoroughly discussed
by able men that it WAS almost impossible
TO find anything new to speak on. Dur
ing the course of his remarks he paid a
glowing tribute to many OF the past and
present leaders of the Irish prOple. The
spirit OF adherence of the people to the
policy OF Parnell as was shown in the late
election that took place in ireland, when
he said to d Catholic ConstituencB "elect
Protestant to represent you. and to a
Protestant constituency elect Catholic
to represent YOU" it was done. People
had such confidence ia his leadership, his
policy was adopted and never questioned.
He believed before long the people OF
Ireland and Great Britain would hurl the
rabid tory party from office and restore
reins of government to the hands of the
grand old man, VINO appears to be des-
tined to be instrumental in giving back to
Ireland that native parliament of which
she was robbed by bribery and fraud.
Mr. Sharon spoke enccurogingly of the
present outlook of affairs in Ireland.
Mr.. Fred Sharon spoke next, and re-
ferred to the object of meetings in this
country, which was to assist the Irish
people in their present struggle and beat
down the internal forces arrayed against
them He believed that when an appeal
is again made to the country, Gladstone
and his party will be victorious and home
rule assured.
The meeting closed with song by the
vice president and vote Of thanks t. the

She Thinks the Memory of the VIcO- PrcsI-

CINCINNATI O., Jan. 30-Mra. Thomas y.
Hendricks, widow of the late vice president,
arrived here Sunday morning from Califor-
min, en- route for indianapolis. She said in
answer to question that she thought Glove
land might have n strong opponent, and
then proceeded as follows:
II noticed from the papers, also, since |
have been away, that Mrs. John A. Logan
and Mrs. Blair havs received their pensions
from the government. Fortunately / am in
such circumstances that | do not absolutely
require assistance from tho nation, but 1t
seems no more than right that similar recog-
milton of the services Of my husband he
shown. The only tender have
he'd of this nature was Of the salary
of Mr.. Hendricks for one year Tho
Democratic party is solely to blame for the
slight my husbands name has thus received.
1t was in the majority, and could without
difficulty have shown respect to one of its
fallen leaders in soma such way. Mr.. Hen
bricks was elected for four years, and had
freely poured out his strength for the good of
the party. Certainly it would seem that if
am entitled to any of his salary it would be
for the whole term for which he had enlisted
as vice president

COY AND BERNHAMER


Convicted In the indianapolis Tally Sheet
Case-SulliVan Attacks ClaypoOl.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 80 The jury in
the tally-sheet forgery cases were charged by
Judge Woods on Friday afternoon. but it was
q p. IN. Saturday before a verdict was
reached. Judge Woodswas notified, and
he went to the courtroom to have the ver-
dict read. In substance it finds Coy and
Bernhamer guilty and acquits Matter. Mo-
tions for new trials were entered, and they
will DO heard Thursday, the prisoners being
placed under 81, 900 bail each in the mean
time and allowed their liberty.
During his argument Friday Judge Clay
pool denounced County Clerk Sullivan as a
villain. Sullivan had been witness in the
second trial, and one of the defendants in the
first one. Saturday they met on the street
when Sullivan spat in Judge Clnypool's face
and then struck him, remarking, "In your
speech yesterday you took advantage of me
and called me villain. My hands were
tied then, but resent it now"
Judge Claypool then made an attempt to
attack Sullivan, when they were separated
and held by friends.
Mr.. Claypooi afterward remarked: II
would have killed the dirty dog if let alone.
aud now | will send him TO the penitentiary
if it takes the last cent I've got" Sullivans
friends defend him, while Mr.. Claypoo's
friends, with the peace,loving people, de-
nounce Sullivan.
