Only One Danger.
There is now only one thing that can dash
the cup of liberty from Ireland. and that Is
the continuance of lighting amongst her own

here tonight will do much to show them that
the friends of the Irish cause in America will
give support to the party of Irish Naliounlists
in the house Of commons who are pledged TO
sit. act and vote together.
Remember that you in America can help
to destroy the power for evil of any small

The next speaker introduced was
Hon. Albert Schetfer. He made a very

of many historical struggles for liberty. |
