Levy Courtman Henry c. Hickma n
denies the charge that he endeavored TO
persuade the county tax collectors to
leave their duties and go out riding with
him last Saturday afternoon. He gives
the following explanation of the matter:
u came down the street at quarter to
= o'clock, judge, aud was stopped ty
Mckee an was talking with him on an
other subject besides that of the tax mat
tiers. While we were talking Mahafly
came up and said: George, amt it al
most time TO 60 upstsiIsP Mckee re-
piled: Il have no key MahaiTy said:
we can soon open the door If you want
1t OPEN Mckee replied: 'Dougherty will
soon be here Then | said: George, you
bet er take ride until the proper time. ,
Then Mahany said: L suppose If you
were collector you would do IT. re-
piled: n was collector ] would stop
you and Mcconnell from being back OF
the railing MahatTy said: I'VE have
as much right back there as Pat Neary
and John Dickey.'
"By this time Daugherty came and
called me aside, but what we were talk
ing about was something entirely differ
ent to the taxes. l might possibly have
asked him how he was getting along. FL
nally pulled out my watch and found I
was O'Clock and told Dougherty 1t was
time to so up stairs As to my trying to
hold either Dougherty or Mckee back
from Co o'lecting taxes, The published story
is entirely false"

II ere was a -'""d audience In
Fletcher Hall Ia. iie the pelt-
ing rain, u hear I. q. Mulhol-
lanc, OF County leland, give
lew 'GliDpsts O ON Protes-
tant stard dpoint. ure was Under
che auspiccs of ehem Lodge,
l.. U, l..
The speaker ne dwelt upon
The mito'ies Il Ire and and
plu gcd her in tears and blood. His de-
scr'ption OF the air OF desolatlcn that
inecis The eye everywhere did not Giiler
materially from that given by other
speakers. He drew vivid picture show
ing the dill renee between the comforts
OF tie English peasants in their COM
Portable homes and the hali-starved Irihh
peasant In his hut of mud. He vividly
described the days when the entire p0pu-
latiDn of the Irish live d on potatoes, one
third OF them out OF work thirty weeks
In the year. and one-pighh h OF them were
either paupers or on the verge OF starva-
iion. Am rica was TIE only goal oil their
hopes.
The speak, r then proceeded to advance
some of the reasons why Ireland was
uown-ttodden and poverty stricken, and
why Ulster County in Ireland was an
oasis compared with other Counties.
1t Is unnecessary to state that he at
tributed the evils that sflI ct Ireland to
the Influence OF priesthood. Pries'craft,
said the speaker, is doomed to be fail
! urc, and the people are finding out that
their would-bc priesily libsrators are
greater tyrants than tn sc from whom
they would liberate them. He did not
consider the English government respon-
slble for the down tToddeu condition OF
Ireland. He ridicued the idea OF Popery
being the friend of liberty, but on the
contrary It breathes the air OF despotism.
Mr.. Mulhol'and sharply criticised the
b storical statements made by Rev.

| Op' ra House on Sunday ternoon, May
IL, as being contrary to the facts in the
case. His manner of speech was earnest,
