Chairman Deahunty introduced as the first speaker
NJ. d. Gallagher who directed the attention OF me
assembly to the fact that fully one-hah OF those
present were Democrats, who yet were anxious 10
pay their respects to the honored Republican who
was the guest of the evening General kerwin re
sponded with the sentiment that the honor given
wa, not bestowed upon an individual bur upon a
principle which united the Irish race in this country.
LettcIs of regret were then read from Chauncey NJ
Depew Thomas c. Patt Brother Justin and John
A. sullivan, General kerwin's predecessor, whefe-
upon the Rev. DR.. Henry a. Brann was called upon
70 respond the toast, The President OF the United
5tates.n
The speaker began with the claim that no one was
more fit TO respond 10 that toast than member OF the
Catholic clergy. He decried the policy actuaune
many politicians. which caused them repeatedly 10
hurl the dead OF dislOyalty" al Catholic priests.
This line led him discuss case in point. when hc
said. who runs evening paper I'm most
remarkable manner and al the same time attempts TO
run a staSc-lne; whose editorials show that he
studied rhetoric the back OF hppOgrhF attacked
him dsloya 10 the principles governing this Re
public. because he had made speech at reception
recently given TO a representative of the Pope.
The other speakers were Judge Morgan J. OBrien,
who responded " The judiciary and Judge Fiz-
gerald, TO The Necessity OF Parties
