given space for this reconstruction before the
general election, and the disclosure has brought
about realization of the insufficiency of Glad
and prosperity OF your brothers aud sisters in
Ireland. This disclosure is timely and
important The delegates who at my re-
quest are now crossing the ocean to your
ity and patriotism to fully explain and defend
my position, position which all that is sound
courageous and reliable at home have assumed

your hospitality. and ] am confident that you
will extend to them most favorable reception
and hearing. They are each and all elltried SOL
diers, who have constantly distinguished them
selves in our war against coercion and
British rule, who, despite intimidation and
influence of the most unscrupuious and
far preaching character, have brayely defended
me during these dark and trying moments, with
confidence even greater than in 1sS0 appeal
to you once more TO assist me in quelling this
mutiny and disloyalty to Ireland; to help me in
securing really independent parliamentary
party, so that we make one more, even though it
be our very last. effort To win freedom and pres
