bringing the government of England to a
sense of the duty thatit owes to Justice and
to humanity by restoring to the Irish
people the right TO make their own laws
and to live in self-respecting mani God
upon their own soil
SIT has been asserted by those instru-
m9ntal in covering US with defamation that
we wish to screen the murderers of DR..
Cronin. We meet here to-day, among
other reasons, for the purpose of vehe-
mently denouncing his atrocious murder in
our capacity as American citizens, but we
hold that as Irish-Americans we have no
more right to be held responsible for that
foul atrocity than has any other element of
our body polite for crimes committed by
persons to whom they are kindred. Ne
deVoutly hope that the officers authorized
by law will succeed in bringing to Justice
the assassins of DR.. Cronin. We repudiate
both as American citizens and as Irish
Americans the claims made by the enemies
of our race that the Irish element has any
desire or any purpose, to make the soil of
America the theatre of acts of vengeance
because of feuds, factions or disagreements
growing out of political differences or per-
sonal heart burniugs. We return our most
sincere and grateful thanks to Hon. John
M. Thayer, governor of Nebraska, for his
magnanimous defense of the honor of our
race against the reckless ISLANDERS of a
society of professional foreigners"
At Ogden's grove ex-Congressman Fin
nerty made stirring speech in which he
denounced the Chicago press for its par
tisanship in the Cronin matter, intimating
that the papers in demanding that the muir
derers be hunted to justice were really at
tempts to make the Irish people odious
with the stigma of the Cronin murder.

A GREAT WOLF HUNT.
The Ranchmen of Cheyenne Have Glorious
Time Killing Them.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. 15.-[Special tele-
gram to THE HERALD -Prominen stock
men organized wolf hunt which was a
highly successful Inauguration of novel
and exciting sport, certain to become very
popular in this section. They have multi
piled with marvellous rapidity since the re-
peal of the bounty law and this season have
killed hundreds of valuable young horses
and cattle on the range Immediately south
east of this city The hunters were in
four parties and encirled the county for
fifty miles around a wild canon in
which a number of dens had been lC-
Gated. In the chase were included the
best riders and shots in this portion of the
territory. All were well mounted and fully
armed. A number of ladies were in the
lines deployed over the prairies. Wolves
and coyotes bounded from the tall grass or
rocky ravines in the big circle and were
away like the wind to their refuge in the
cliffs. There was much wild riding after
the brutes. The cowboys lariated a number
and many were shot down. Twelve big
wolves were smoked from the first cavern,
assailed and ali were killed as they ran.
Dogs drew seven heavy, wicked looking
fellows from the second. Thirteen
died in a den rather than become
targets for the six shooters and
rifles of the hunters. The brushes
were secured by blowing up the cave with
giant powder. A barbecue was held at the
RENDEZVOUS at noon. Two hundred persons
took part in the chase.

The PRO. Cronin Resolutions.

CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-The friends of the
late DR.. Cronin held section of the annual
Clan-na-Gael picnic here to-day, with a
large crowd present. The amusements con-
sisted of athletic games, which were follow
ed this afternoon and evening by speeches
byCongressman Martin Foran, of Cleveland,
Hon. M. J. Ryan, of Philadelphia, Congress
man Lawler, of Chicago, John Dewey, of
New York, Thomas P. Tuite, of Detroit,
and others. A long statement accompany
ing the preamble and resolutions was read
and adopted. 1t recognized fealty to this
nation as the first and highest obligation
and next thereafter pledges support to the
| the cause of Irish liberty, to be secured I'M
der the leadership of Parnell and Gladstone.
The statement was then read:
Resolved, That we denounce with all
the force of indignant language our utter
| adherence of the assassination of DIR.
Cronin to cover up the embezzlement of
money and the betrayal of the people whose
devotion to the cause of liberty too often
makes them the victims of designing
knaves.
Resolved, That knowing DR.. P. H.
Cronin to have been a patriotic, high
minded, pure, Christian gentleman, utterly
incapable of playing the role of sycho-
plant or falsely living the life of spy, we
brand as a most malicious libel and moral
assassination the infamous report that he
was the agent of England. On the con-
| trary, knowing him to be the defender of
honesty and truth, we hereby declare
it to be our solemn conviction that for
his faithful adherence to the Irish cause,
honesty and truth he was foully murdered
to prevent the exposure of the actual Grim
inals who have dragged down that cause in
blood and tears into the dust of our Geth-
semane.
Resolved, That the crime of this most
atrocious murder calls for all the energies
of our civilization for the speedy and ex-
IRENE punishment of the law, and we
pledge our abiding support to the authori-
ties until every guilty man shall have
answered to the law for his participation
in the most deyilish murder which has red
dened the annals of crime"
At Chelteuham Beach the most sensa-
tional feature of the day was the denun
citation of Davitt and Egan by John Dewey.
This gentleman in long and imprisoned
speech challenged not only the motive but
also the honesty and patriotism of both
these we'll known Irishmen. Mr. Egan,
United States minister to Chilli, was de
nounced as a sympathizer with the gang
who instituted the murder of Cronin, and
with having used the prestige of his posi-
ton to blacken Cronin's character. Con-
gresham Lawler, in a vigorous speech,
denounced Finnerty as a liar, poltroon and
scoundrel.

Virginia pemocratic Convention

RICHMOND, Va, Aug.-The state demo
cratic convention met att o'clock and pro
ceeded to take second ballot for governor
Before the roll call was completed, Captain
Phillip w. Mckinney was nominated by &C
clamation. The convention nominated j.
Hoge Tyler for lieutenant governor by ac-
c1amation. A recess was taken till 4
o'clock
Upon reassembling the convention nom
mated for attorney general Z. F. Scott, OF
Faquier. Basil B. Gordon. of Rappahan-
mock county, was elected chairman of the
state central committee. A platform was
then adopted and the convention adjourned
sine die.
The platform opens with declaration
to the pc pc of the state that through
the wise legislation and administration of
the Democratic party, the public schools
have been preserved in efficient operation
and their accommodations extended That
the resources necessary for the conduct of
government in all its departments have
been secured, and that debt questions have
been put it trim for final acceptable settle
ment.
1--WE would reprobate as mischievous to
all interests runs the text, "the opening
of an issue which has been the source of so
much embarrassment and veXation to tn :
commonwealth and in the continuance of
the party administration which has dealt
with it ably and wisely, we confidently
look to its solution upon lines of adjust
ment which the Democratic representatives
have faithfully executed"
The platform closes thus: 'We oppose
the Republican party as party of high
taxes, of corrupt and extravagant expendi-
ture of the public revenues, of unjust and
oppressive treatment of the southern
states, the creator of trusts and the pro
moter of monopolies. We oppose the Re
publican party as a stirrer up of strife be
tween races, as a false friend to the colore6
race and an enemy to the white race"

Harrison on Place Hunters.

CONCORD, N. H, Aug. 15.-Public and
private buildings were decorated in honor
of the President. On the arrival of the
President and party they drove through a
drizzling rain to the capitol where the gov
ernor and other state officials welcomed
him. He was then presented to the legisla-
ture in joint session. He made brief ad-
dress, which was without political signifi-
canoe, and then the legislature adjourned
and its members were presented to the
President. The President was then conduc-
ted to a stand in front of the capitol, where
the governor introduced him to the people,
He was greeted with cheers and spoke a
few patriotic words contrasting his situa-
ton when surrounded by selfish place
hunters with that when confronting the
masses of the people whose highest concern
is good government. A collation. at the

that Terry was not in his regiment, but he
knew the family well. 1t was a very dis
tinguished connection in Texas in ante
beIlum days, containing several brilliant
and able men.
David S. Terry and his brother Reel
Terry went to California in the early days
of the state, leaving their big plantation in
Texas to their other brothers. Terry was
the principal leader in the southwest favor
ing the southern cause. Indeed, so infiamed
was the feeling against him that Terry had
great difficulty in getting out of the state
and his escape and overland journey to
Texas would make very thrilling story
He reached Texas in safety, however, and
promptly organized regiment OF cavalry,
serving throughout the war with courage
and distinction His brother, Frank Terry,
also raised a regiment of Texas rangers,
but was killed in cavalry skirmish in
Kentucky, being one of the very first noted
confederate chieftains slain. His regiment
was a corps d'elite, the members being
some of the rich planters, their fathers
having distinguished themselves IN the
war for Texan independence quarter OF a
century before.
David S. Terry was, in Colonel Ochil-
trees opinion, "a good soldier. All the
members of the family were noted for their
hasty and violent tempers. Only six
weeks ago nephew of Judge Terry,
son of Frank Terry mentioned above, killed
a man at Wharton, Texas, in Ochlltree's
old congressional district, and this was not
the first man he had killed, either.
Congressman John S. Wise, of Virginia,
is one of the few who are not so certain
that Marshal Nagle will be acquitted on ms
trial for the murder of Judge Terry. In
an interview yesterday he said:
even if Terry had threatened the life
of Justice Field, Nagle would not have
been justified in taking up the defence Of
the Justice. According to both the com
mon law of England and America, son IS
not justified in taking a life in the defence
of the life of his father. OF course, It would
be difficult to convict a son of homicide
committed in defence OF his father before
an American jury, but such defence
would simply go as mitigating -clrcum-
stance.
There have been good many more de-
cisions against such a defence than there
have been in favor of it. There was
celebrated case in Massachusetts in which
an editor was assaulted with cane The
son of the editor, who witnessed the as
sault. shot the assailant dead. The son was
acquitted upen the ground that he was as
much justified in defending his father as
he would be in defending himself. Now
Deputy Marshal Maggie may claim, IN view
of his official relation to Justice Field, that
he had the same right in defending him
that a son would have in defending an as
sault against his father; but l have serious
doubts about sucn defence holding good
in law

on the Shooting.

Especial 10 THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch. !
New YORK, Aug. 15.-The shooting of
Judge David S. Terry by Deputy Marshal
Nagle has created an immense sensa-
ton here. All the papers give all their
space to a complete description of the
tragedy. Many indulge in editorial com
ments, which are surprisingly severe upon
the character of Judge Terry, and unquali-
fedly justify the marshals act. The World
says: ''In the killing of David S. Terry
yesterday, California derives substantial
benefit. From the day of his entrance into
that state Terry has been a turbulent and
menacing citizen. CT late years he has
been a disappointed, despised man. He
allied himself to a depraved courtesan in
the hope that he might share the millions
Senator Sharon. Fooled by the courts, his
venom and malice were directed against
the judges and lawyers who had stood be-
tween him and the realization of his
hopes"
The Herald thinks the defense of Deputy
Maggie will raise a novel and important
question of criminal law, and that the trial
will be a sensational one"
Ex-Judge James Angel, of California, a
resident of the state during the war, in
giving MS "reminiscences OF Terry Salu IdSI
night "The people of California are to be
congratulated on the fact that they are at
asst well rid of as mild hammered man as
ever scuttled a ship or cut throat"
Matthew Hogan, another California
pioneer, in speaking of David S. Terry,
said: 'Dave Terry was one of the most
quarrelsome and excitable men [ ever
knew. / remember distinctly quarrel he
once had with a young Mexican. At a
country fair in Sacramento, Terry and the
young Mexican, whose name was Anton
Vasquez, had just stepped down from
q gambling room kept by one Tom. 1t was
a case where the former had accused the
Mexican of having taken an unfair advan-
tage of him at cards. Young Vasquez, who
was one of the wealthiest ranchmen in San
Jose at that time, upon being accused of
cheating, took from his pocket the money
ne had won from Terry, and with an oath
threw it in his face, at the same time say
ing that in the future he would seek the
company of a gentleman. Terry rushed
at Vasquez with a large knife, intent upon
numbering him. The young Mexican, not
at all frightened by Terry, stepped back a
few feet, and drawing from his side large
six-shooter, warned Terry not to advance
another step, under penalty Ofinstant death.
Terry did not advance"

The President Drives.

MANCHESTER, N. H., Aug. 15.-President
Harrison took drive among the mills this
morning, after which he left amid cheers
on a special train for Concord.
From Concord to Fall River the trip was
series of ovations. Governor Goodell
left the car at Nashua and Surgeon General
Holt, OF Massachusetts, Joined the party as

Travelled on the car to South birmingham
and babe the President good bye.
When the platform at Fall River was
reached at 10 p. m, Mr.. and Mrs. Choate
escorted General Harrison through the
lines of spectators to the steamer Pilgrim.
Those who were on the upper deck leaned
over and cheered the President as he went
on board, while others joined in greeting
him. AS he walked through the saloon an
interesting statement was just then made
that ex-President Cleveland would travel
on a later boat tonight.

At the Leech Lake Reservation.

BRAINERD, Mimi, Aug. 15.-The first
word received from the Indian commission
at the Leech Lake reservation came this
morning by a half-breed. He says that the
villagers on that reservation are in deadly
quarrel over the presence of the commits
sion, and are about equally divided as be-
tween those who are willing to sign and
| those who are opposed, the latter threaten
ing death to the first person who does sign.
As a consequence, no one has yet signed
and the commissioners have devoted their
whole efforts so far to prevent a conflict.
The opponents are, the runner states, fully
armed with winchester rifles, and have
gone so far as to threaten all the whites on
the reservation. The commissioners are
safely lodged at ranch. They have sent
another runner out, probably with dis
patches for the government. It's reported
that young buck, relative of Falmouth,
was shot for favoring signing.
