ana LnaL MS nabreQ was confirmed to-
some political opponents among them.
| But he has grossly insulted the whole
Irish people and their religion, thereby
proving himself a traitor and betraying
lifelong friends among them who have
never before believed that the spirit of
know nothingisn dwelled SO strongly
within him. The Irish people have
done everything for DIR. Ames. They
are responsible mainly for all his past
achievements. and for all this he
treacherously knifes them for their
friendship. He has made the issue and
will find the Irish people ready to meet
| it.
JUICE QUINN's VIEWS.
Judge Quinn expressed himself as
| follows:
In that interview DR.. Ames proved
himself not only the champion liar and
bigot, but slanderer and traducer of
brave people struggling for self-goy
ernment. His language is that Of the
meanest of Irelands oppressors and is
contracted by every fair-nninded man
who has visited that unhappy country
1t has been reported from time to time
that the doctor is an anti Catholic, and
his language justly entities him TO a.
place in the front ranks. couldn't
believe that beneath his plausible ex--
terror there lurked the poisonous venom
OF religious bigotry put elevated with
the magnitude Of his own Importance in
an unguarded moment he removed the
mask, and is now shown in his true

termination Of what otherwise might
have been an honorable and successful
career

MATT wALsH's OPINION.
! Matt Walsh said: II am sorry, awful
sorry. In the first place there are no
facts to bear him out in his statement.

WILLIAM KENNY
thinks. that it was all premeditated; that
DR.. Ames, if not an anti Catholic, leans
strongly in that direction from the un-
couth and ungentlemanlY manner ir
which he refers to the Catholic priest
hood. Individually speaking no one
will be injured by it but Dr. Ames.
The Democratic party, under certain
contingencies, will suffer from such
assertions, which in itself ia to be de-

S 3. M CARTHY.
Ames is no criterion to Judge thai
the Irish people are not fit for self-gov-
ernment, since ne who considers him.
self educated cannot govern his tongue.
his morals or that good health which
his Maker gave him. Any sensible
man who heard him make one Of his
campaign speeches last fall would set
him down as an egotisLic lackass, who
thought that the whole world centered
in himself.

out Of q population Of 1900. there are
5000 children attending schools Com
paratively speaking. between Minnea-
polls and Limerick. the number of
children attending schools is about two

FROM MURDOCH, MINI.
Thomas Fogarty writes to The IRIsH
STANDARD: Il have always been
| staunch friend of DR.. Ames, but if he
was correctly reported in that interview
shall never support him again.
