The affair has not only caused great
commotion and considerable irritation
in the ranks of the McCarthyites, but
it has spread CONSERVATION among the
Liberals, as the Conservatives lmme-
diately seized upon the incident ana
are making use of it during the present
campaign for all it is worth.
The national leaders Instantly
grasped the danger of the affair ana
.IMessrs. Mccarthy and Blake both
made emphatic denials of the charge

Archbishop Appealed.
Also. according to the Times, it is
stated that four Roman Catholic arch
bishops were appealed to by the Nc
Carthyites TO hold a conference and
act as arbitrators in the disputes among
Irishmen. and that Archbishop Croke,
of Cashel, replied that it was incon-
vanient for him to act. In addition
Archbishop Walsh. of Dublin, is said
to have emphatically refused to sit in
such a. conference as he had offered
several times before TO mediate and
was only snubbed for his pains.
Finally it is stated that Archbishop

of Tuam were willing TO act, but in
