New York, N. Y. Nov. a8.-A rati-
fioation meeting of the Irish National
Alliance was held tonight in the
Grand Opera House to indorse the
proceedings of the Irish National Al
lance convention held in Chicago in
September last. and the programme
enunoiated there. In addition, the
memory Of the Manchester martyrs
was honored, it being the anniversary
of their death.
William Lyman. president of the
Irish National Alliance. was chair
man, and great many prominent
Irishmen were on the platform. Mr..
Lyman. in being introduced as chair
man of the meeting. was accorded
great ovation. He asked every Irish.
man present to stand by the Irish Ma
tional Alliance. shoulder to shoulder.
He .paid tribute to the memory Of
Allen. Larkin and O'Brien, the Man.
chester martyrs.
Ex-Congressman John II. Finerty Of
Chicago, the orator Of the evening, was
then introduced to the meeting. Mr..
Finerty compared the condition of
America before the Revolution with
hat Of Ireland, and said that the SYM
pathies of the two countries were the
same, but their opportunities were not
equal. He stated in reply to the edi-
torial criticism that had been pub
lished on the new that
lrishmen were not yet in the field and
should not be looking for sympathy
from foreign countries until they were
actually lighting: "If we are not yet
in the field. we intend to be as soon as
we can get there" There was great
cheering at this remark.
Mr.. Finerty attacked English admin
istration generally. England. said
he, 'keeps the Turk in Asia and in
Europe, and if she took her hands off
Russia would drive the Turk out of
Europe in three months.
Fifty years ago there were in Ire
land 9,000,0 900 people. Today there
is about half that number, and l ask,
Where is the balance gone? Why
should the Turk be branded as mur-
derer and the Englishman escape the
appellation after such a record in Ire
landP There are in America today To-
900, 900 Of Irish and Of Irish descent,
who were driven from their homes by
the scorn and the scourge of England
to the protection of this glorious c. IN
try, and who will never allow oiviliza-
tion to forget the wrongs that Ireland
suffered. despite the criticisms of some
American editors"
Mr.. Finerty eulogized Allen, O Brien
and Larkin, the Manchester martyrs.
"You may ask" said he, "what
good has the shedding of the blood of
the Manchester martyrs and the blood
of the men of '68 done for the cause of
Ireland? will reply by saying that
the shedding of these martyrs blood
has sown the dragons teeth from
whence spring new generations Of
Irish rebels to battle for Irish liberty"
In the course of his address he re-
ferred to the disestablishment of the
Irish church in Ireland by Mr.. Glad
stone as one of the results of the execu-
tion of the Manchester martyrs. Mr..
Gladstone's name was hissed. The
speaker alluded to EnglanG's land.
grabbing propensities, and touched
upon the Venezuelan question. 81 ven-
ture to say" said he, "that Congress
will meet in short time and that we
will hear from it if John Bull tries
to do any land.grabbing in South
America. And if there is ever call
for volunteers to fight England. either
in Venezuela or elsewhere, I do not
believe that there is single able
bodied Irishman in this country who
will not enlist.
Responsive cries of Eyes" came
from all over the building. In con-
clusion the speaker said that victory
would crown the efforts Of the new
movement and Ireland would soon
take her place among the nations Of
the earth.
The meeting concluded with the
reading by John P. Sutton of resolu-
tions, which were unanimously adopted
arraigning the English Government
for barbarous ferocity to the victims Of
its power; denouncing its statesmen as
more bypocritical and less merciful
than the Turk, and deserving an equal
share of execration from every lover
of humanity, and calling the attention
Of the Irish race all over the world
to the necessity of taking such means as
circumstances may direct to accomp-
lish the release of their imprisoned fell
low -countrymen.
