Der of the Legislature as Assembyman from
Oswego County. He was quiet modest man. and it
took some time for his fellow members to discover that
they had at their elbows man OF exceptional good
sense In dealing with the financial measures before the
Legislature. He rapidly came 10 the 'front.' and upon
his second term as Assemblyman, in 1876, he was
appointed chairman OF the Committee Ways and
Means that is the leading committee in the Assembly
and the one which has charge Of all the bills affecting
taxation in the State Mr.. Sloan showed such ability
in this place that the following year. 1877 he was
elected Speaker.

Assemblyman, every Republican reioiced when Mr.
Sloan in 1885 elected a Senator from the XXIst

WHY THE MONEY WAS SENT TO IRELAND
JOHN D. CRIMMINs DEFENDS THE ACTION OF
THE COMMITTEE.

John d. Crlmmins a large contributor 10 the lrsh
Parliamentary Fund and Of the committee OF inu-
entail Irish Americans Who decided few days ago to
send the money to Ireland that raised at the big
meeting in the Metropolitan Opera House few months
ago. was seen last evening by reporter OF The Tribune
and shown the protest signed by stephen Mcfarland
and Michael Brcsln who declared that the committee
had no right to forward the money without the consent
of the united I.ish societies OF Ncwfork.
"That protest." said Mr. Orimmns, is not alone
unreasonable but / would almost say unpatrotic as
well. We had perfect right 10 send $4,000 to Ire
land because the present when II was decided to
do this contributed than that much money them
selves alone"
at is said that your meeting not q representa-
tive one."
That is not so." replied Mr.. 0mmins. ave had
many representative Irshmen from many Of the large
cities and had myself many letters from OTHER large
subscribers who were unable TO be pescnt, approving
Of the resolution TO send the money TO Ireland and 10
let Archbishop Croke, OF Cashe that faithful and patr
otic pelate dlsburse IL. IL Is absurd when these men
who protest talk of two parties there Is In reality only
one party in Ireland wncn we recognize, that led by
Justin Mccarthy and backed by the overwhelming
majority OF the Irish people at home and abroad. Tic
money that have sent 10 ireland will help tile people
who have suffered by the plan OF Campaign and IL Is
exactly the application Of the funds that 0Bren and
Dillon approve heartily"

all those sectional feelings all enmties toward per-
sons we did bury the memory OF the great cause
for which these men who lie here and In q
thousand other graveyards through the land gave
their lives and the best years OF their hves
We raise this monument In memory OF united country
We raise 1t In memory of freedom. We raise II TO
keep alive the belief n American citizenship. 1t IS
Of little value to have fought tho war II we forget It's
great achievements 1t Is Of little value to have
saved the country II we do not make 1t worth the
