THE POET SULLIVAN.
The band played Tramp, Tramp, the
Boys Are Marching" and them Mr.. 4. ID.
Sullivan was introduced as a former
Lord Mayor of Dublin. He received an
ovation similar to- that given Mr..
O'Brien.
..The hour Is far advanced began Mr..
Sullivan, but the time has been well
spent. thought it pity that the pro-
ceeding should be interrupted. We
would put in an all night sitting at that
work il necessary. How long shall talk
to youi IA voice, "All night."l
THAT would hardly do, my friend.n
laughed Mr.. Sullivan; shut how eau /
find words adequate to describe our
gratitude, our feelings and our pride at
this magnificent reception. We are graft
fled and delighted at the spectacle which
greeted us as we passed through your
streets. One special feature which we
saw filled US with gratitude. IL was tall,
stalwart men with arms in their hands
surrounding US. but not for the purpose
Of intimidating or capturing us. It was
novel and most welcome sight to US.
We do not desire bl0odshed or war, nor
do we need armed men. But we were
glad to see stalwart Irishmen with arms
in their hands ready TO strike blow for
their adopted country, for we know she
will never call upon them TO strike blow
in an unjust cause. | will tell you what
we would not attempt to do in any other
country and present to you an adequate
view of the state of Ireland today. Zap
plause.l
.If we were to attempt to argue with
you we would lose time. In another
country among hostile people we must
argue. but with you who have either rec
objections of your own experience or of
what your Irish fathers have told you of
the miseries of Ireland. argument is not
necessary. will tell you what we ask

content until we have achieved. In word
easily understood IN the United States
of America we want self-goverDment; we
want the people of Ireland to legislate on
purely Irish affairs, the same right which
every State In this glorious Union enjoys
and would defend with its life If neces-
sary. Since the act of union, gentlemen,
we have had no share in managing our
own affairs The claim of the Irish peo-
pie for self government is bound to meet
with success. We ask aid to tide us over
brief period We believe in our hearts
and souls that we will succeed.
THE END OF THE STRUGGLE NEAR.
"We are nearing happy ending of the
struggle. We need assistance to carry
us through. The calculation OF the
enemy Is to beggar our resources and
disrupt the party. There are thousands
of evicted families in Ireland. We do
not propose to let them know any want.
Party will take care of them The time
is not far distant when we can put those
people back in the homes they have titled
so long. The greatest English leader is
on our side. Thousands of British work
men are ready to respond to our cali We
have brought about peaceful revolution
of Ireland. We have struck a blow at
landlordism. All the landlords are good
for is to get on horses and chase poor
little fox across the country. The time
was when they hunted Irish tenants. buu
that time is gone forever" [Cries Of
'Thank God."1
Mr.. Sullivan closed by quoting Moore's
lines:-
''Oh, Erinl Oh, Erin. thy Winter is past
And the hope that lived through it will blossom
at last
When the cheers which greeted Mr..
Sullivan when he mad closed had ceased,
Mr. Timothy Harrington was intro
duced. Owing to the fateness of
the hour Mr.. Harrington spoke
briefly. He reiterated the gratitude felt
by the party at the reception they had re-
ceived in Jersey City. He said that the
Irish people are endowed with kind hearts
and generous dispositions and in every
cottage in the land there will be grateful
remembrance of what the audience had
done tonight.
''You have sent them message" he
continued (which will enable them TO
continue the battle with an energy which
will make the hearts Of their enemies
quail.r
