He elaborated on this evenings discourse
and made some pointed remarks. He
said In part ''rhe triumphs OF England
over Ireland have not been by the arms
of her soldiers, but by the treachery Of
her statesmen, partially shown by her
violated treaties In every battle the
Irish maintained their honor. They
fought for James II because
he gave them representation, and they
would have been ingrates II they had not
fought for him. We have forgotten how
to fight in the ninety years of quiet II
the Irish in 1913, instead Of laying down
to starve, had taken the food IN their
reach, and although 300, 600 Of them
have fallen they would have had an am
bassador at Washington to-day.

selfish, for they desire that all men shall
have their rights and that brotherly love
shall prevail. We are friends TO tn,
English people, but we shall be politioa
enemies forever. We appeal for liberty
