CHICAGO, Ill.,. Sept. 26.--In IN interview

that he will not attempt to 90 so.
His experience at Sligo and Kilkenny
would be a sufficient warning to him not
to try again and disrupt the party. The
Irish members will support the Liberal
party. though the leaders Of the Irish party
are moro independent Of the Liberals today
