dynamite fund. and that the then consult
general sent James McDermott TO ireland.
in obedience to a request for his services
from Dublin castle. These are the state
ments made in our second number, and Mr..
Hoarc very iudici0usly ignored them by
going into eulOgy on the virtues OF his
predecessor and other matters which have
no direct bearing upon the relations which
are established between the scOundrel Nc
DermOtt and the amiable Archibald. We
reiterate the charges and challenge Mr..
IIoare 10 deny single one.
But what IS more, we have TO deal with
Mr. IIoare himself. lie compes us, by
rushing in with defense Of Mr.. Archibald,
10 anticipate some charges, which we are
prepared to prove against himself. We as
sert that Mr.. llOare did, in 1SS3. send James
McDermOtt from New York to Montreal
for the purpose Of getting up n dynamite
agitation in that city, and supplied him
with money and means 10 carry out
the purpose. We assert that Mr.. HOare
communicated with Dublin Castle about
the time ;hat McDcrmott started
and asked the home government 10 request
the Canadian Government 10 facilitate the
performance Of the work which McDermOtt
was 10 carry out We further declare that
the reply which the Canadian Government
sent u the request from Dublin Castle and
vi 7.
mcnt considered its duty was 10 prevent
the eOutrage. and did not encourage or abet
il. We further charge Mr.. IlOare. that
while McDermOtt was in Montreal en-
deavoring to ensnaTe lrishmen i'm that city
in dynamite plots he was supplied with
funds by Mr.. IOare, and encouraged by him
tOkeepup communication wlthO'DOnnayan
ROssa. Patrick Joyce and such men in New
York. we further allege, and will prove
by sworn testimony if required. that James
McDeTmOu was exposed and denounced in
Montreal by "A cable sent by Mr.. Dayitt 10
the editor OF the Montreal Evening Post.
Mr.. Iloarc supplied McDermOtt with money
TO travel back from Montreal, and sent him
from New York 10 Liverpool.
We ask that official Of the British Foreign
Office TO discuss these charges. now made
plainly and definitely against himself, in
stead Of Sinking the issue by gratuitOus
praises OF his predecessor. Mr.. Archibalds
innocence itself in the matter Of employing
ruilians Of the McDermOtt type. and en-
cOuraging the formation of bogus dynamite
plots. compared with Mr. HOarc. We
further charge the latter with having at the
present moment in his employment
Bob Pnkorton in New York and Will
lie pinkertOn in Chicago. together with
the notorious Mcfarland, agents. who, AT
"A costly sum TO the secret service fund,
manufactured any number OF secret con-
spiracics against England in America.
We further charge Mr.. IlOare with having,
in 1883, employed one Matt OBrien to
enter the service of the postoace in New
York in order to tamper with letters going
through that postoflice, and through Mr.
I0ai's influence with a Federal postOiGce
official named Newcombe O'Brien, had
charge Of the keys and stamps, which en-
abled him to open what boxes he pleased in
the building, and use the date stamps of
the department for the purposes of the Brit
Ish secret service.
I'VE can prove that O'Brien opened let
ters by the score, aud wrote letters to Irish
men Ia New York which purpOrted 10 come
from Fenians and dynamiters in California.
Il. Louis. and Chicago, and that he stamped
these bogus Letters so rs 10 make the re-
cipients believe they were communications
which came through the pOstuiiicc. The
men 10 whom these letters were addressed
we're invited by the writer to come TO the
general pOstnihcc to yet the other let
tcrs, which were written lay O'Bricn a. ID
coming from Fenians and dynainitcrs irom
the other cities thGt would be represented
hy ihe stamps which he put upon The en-
velOpes. This was done in order that
OBrien should see and know the men who
were suspected bv Mr.. IiOare and himself Of
being enemies Of the English.
We say that all this Was done by Mr..
H0are's direct and explicit instructions, and
charge that this llagrant outrage upon the
law and State OF New York and the Fedora
authority and the United States was per-
formed by Mr.. lloar's instructions, and 10y
the aid Of the secret-serNlce fund IN Eng
land. We are prepared to prove that the
beginning and the end of the Cork, Liver
pool, and London dynamite c0nspiracies OF
lS,3 was James McDerm0tt. and the money
expended by him for the purchase Of nitro
giyceriue was given 10 HIM Tor That purpose
from the secrct-scryice fund.
several men are now undergoing the hor-
rible fate Of penal seryitudo. not because OF
the actual dccGs done, but because the
agent of Dublin Castle put dynamite and
documents into their hands which were ac-
cepted a. proofs of their guilt by the judge
and Jury. We demand in the name Of JUS
tice and fair play that these men be re-
leased.
The paper then proceeds 10 give, in cX-
tense. the letter which Mr.. NcDermott, on
the eve of the arrest oi 'he second batch oi
his victims, with comical audacity, wrote
to O'Dono,an KoSsa. bowailing the failure
Of The Cork conspiracy and promising more
success i'm London.
ATTACK on O'DONOVAN ROSA.
The article ridicules Rossa as conspira-
tor. II says: Ills yaporinss about dyna-
mite, his braggadocia and his insane love
for notOficty, nave made his Office Kind OF
web. in which many misguided men have
iOInd theirway through McDermott into
life of penal spryitude. There is nothing
more grOtesque than R0ssa's pretending TO
be at war with the British empire, W bile
he was actually accepting contribution ns
from the paid agents of the very government
he was threatening 10 destroy
