Ncagh. AS Mr.. MacVeagh stcpped

Mr.. Mac Neagh was in splendid voice.
lie was frequently applaudcd, aud at
! the close o. his speech received an ova-
tlon such as Is seldom given Il publ C
speaker. He spoke as follows:
! Nobody has ever suggested, | believe,

much prefer, ii l spoke at all al the home
CT the prescn! candidate of the Rypubli-
can party for the Vice Presidency, to-
SPEAK in favor of his election, for have
! been privileged these many yea"s TO
call myself the friend Of Mr.. Reid, and
to enjoy under other roofs the same
generous hospitality he is now dispens-
ing at Ophir Farm. Aud yet this morn.
, lny's Tribune, newspaper ! have been
reading all my life, causes me some en-

would wish either OF Mr.. Reid or OF il, for
1t arralgns me for ohiccting to the ap-
pointment Of Mr.. ESan us our Minister
TO Chile, and dishonesty attempts to
pcrvcrt what l said INTO an attack on
MIR. Egan because of his nationality.
Now, Mr.. Reid and the Tribune both
know very we'll that l. objected to such
an appointment not because Mr.. Eyan
was an Irishman, but because Mr.. Reid
and the Tribune had persuaded me that
he was Il dishonest and unworthy man.
deeire, therefore, upon the express au-
thority OF MIR. Reid and tie Tribune, not
only 10 rcassert my statement that his
appointment was An insult to Chile, but
desire now to add tho. - was also an
insult to every self.respecting Irshman
IN the United States. Mr.. Reid and the
Tribune, as long ago as 1t issue Of March
| Is, 1888, had fixed in my mind the be-
lief that Mr.. Egan was a swindlcr, hay.
! ing failed to account, as the Tribune
charged, for avery large trust fund placed
IN his charge, and 1t added these siunlli-
cant words: 1.-The Irish are a peculiar
people and easily led by sham patriots"
On this high authority | formed my
| opinion OF MIR. EGap, aud | was orcat,y Y
surprised and d!s9ustcd to iird such a
man sC!' TO represent Tie country
in high Giplomntic post.
The TRIBUNE vas evidently equally
disguised, for on September &, 1891. il
advised me that lie ought 10 Ec recalled,
that lie certainly would be recalled. and
saying: IA new An cl lean representa-.
tive at Chile is urgently needed"
so found my i'll opinion of Mr.. Ear
strengthened. but it was not until De
ctmbcr 6, 1891, that the Tribune IN
iOlmcd me that it was well known 81
Washington when he was appointed
what the charges against him were, ant
tl,at he had fled the country to avoid ar
rest and trial on a very serious crinilna
charge.
Now, gentlemen, just think Of passing
| over inc n(HuS Ol me thousands Oi caDa
be and honest Republicans OF Irisl
birth, against whose honor no word ha.
ever hccn brcathcd, TO select for 1rca
hOn0rs the only IrIshman whom Mr.
Reid and tie Tribune have ever pi!lCric,
before the world as sham patriot aut
a fugitive from criminal Justice!
The remainder Of Mr.. MacVca2h'
speech was devoted TO the issues OF Lh
can paign, which he has Iu,!v discussc
IN his Philadelphia speeches.
