IRISH POLITICAL PRISONERS
A Strong Movement to Secure Am'

Chicago, July 25.-The movement

Is expected to receive a new Impetus
from the great demonstration of Irish
Americans and native Americans to be
held at Battery d tonight. The demon
stration Is under the auspices OF the
United Irish Societies, and Senator Gull

other prominent men including Vice
President Stevenson. Senator Palmer

Since the adjournment OF the famous
Irish convention in this city last all,
when the new movement was inaugur-
ated by the united action of representa-
tive Irishmen from all parts of the coun-
try, no public step has been taken until
this meeting was planned. The demon

formal and initiative step toward the
adoption of the pledges made in that
convention. and the affair Is expected to
mark an important epoch In the history
of the movement for freedom Of Ire

WALSH ON POPS ACTION.
Charley Does Not Blame Them for
Stumbling Sewall.

st. Louis, July 27.-Charles Walsh. the
democratic national committeeman of
Iowa., commenting upon the action OF
the populists in ignoring Sewall and
taking up Bryan, said: Il don't see how
they could do otherwise. They could
not have taken up the whole demo-
cratic ticket and still preserved their
national party organization. There
would have been nothing to distinguish
them from the older and more estab-
lished party, and they would have been
swallowed up. The Chicago platform
placed them in the position of being
damned IL they did and damned If they
didn't If they had put out an indie
pendent ticket it Is not probable that
they could have retained more than b
per cent Of their party vote In the
north, and thus their party would have
been demolished. When a large party
adopts the principles Of a smaller party
It Is almost sure to absorb the smaller
party, whatever tactics the smaller
party may pursue"

FEAST OF ST. ANNE.
The Annual Feast In Her Honor BE-
gins Sunday.

gins Sunday.
Kanklkee, ILL.,, July 25.-All owe the
Catholic world for a week, commencing
tomorrow, will be celebrated the annual
FEAST OF st. Anne. At the village of that
name, ten miles east of thisc city, special
observance is given to the event, pill
grimages being made to the shrine by
people from all parts of Illinois, Ohio,
Indiana, Michigan and even SO far away
rs Wisconsin and Minnesota. Last year
over 5000 people came here with the
view OF receiving the blessings attend
ant upon the occasion, while this year 1t
is probable hat the number will be
doubled. over l 900 visitors came in to-
lay, and tomorrow special trains are to
be run from Chicago and other points.
The unusual devotion to the village
shrine is due to the fact that it Is the
resting place of a very sacred relic. This
Is a portion of the right hand of st.
Anne. the patron saint. who was the
mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The
history of the relic is an interesting one.
The devotion to st. Anne has existed for
years in Europe, and more recently in
America. On one occasion, when some
settlers who had arrived from Europe
were sailing up the st. Lawrence river,
preparatory to making their home In
Canada, a severe storm arose. Fearing
,hipwreck, they prayed to st. Anne for
1eliverance. promising il saved to erect
d shrine to her memory at the first place
hey should land. Having passed safely
through the storm. they were true to
their promise and built a small chapel
IN the banks of the st. Lawrence near
Quebec, which they called ST. Anne de
Beaupre. To that place many pilgrim
ages are made, from 1000 to 200, 900
people visiting there each year
For many years a small portion of the
'emains OF st. Anne had been deposited
vt st. Anne de Beaupre. but in 1891 the
pope allowed a larger portion to be
brought to this country, and sent over a
bone Of the saints right hand. While
his sacred relic was enroute to st. Anne
lie Beaupre the priests having 1t In
charge stopped in New York and al
owed veneration services TO be held in
The Catholic churches there. Thou
sands went to be blessed, and at that
Zine many who were suffering with dis
case were permanently cured by their
abiding faith in the healing power of st.
Anne. After it reached It's destination a
portion OF the bone of one finger was
consigned to the village church at ST.
Anne, ten miles out In the country, and
liver since has been enshrined there.
Tomorrow morning solemn pontifcal
mass will be celebrated by the priests Of
Vt. Viatur's college. assisted by visiting
fathers. n at 4 o'clock the most i'm
portant part OF the services of the day,
The exposure and veneration Of the relic,
which is encased in a gold case, will
take place. The pilgrimage will con.
ilnue throughout the week.

we submit the following to the candid
Judgment Of the people.
'ln our delegations are four veterans

and 198 union army veterans. OF the
731 delegates attending, 8 are prohibi-
tionists. ~ are populists, 146 are demo-
Gratis and 526 are republicans.

vention we appeal to all true patriots,
without regard to previous party afil-
iation, to vote for Hon. VIM. j. Bryan
for president and Hon. Arthur Sewall
for vice president of the United States.
A result of their election will be the res
toration of free coinage Of silver on
equal terms with gold, providing there
by a growing volume of money, which
will tend to disseminate rather than to
aggregate wealth, which will relieve the
present profound depression and replace
1t with a wide prosperity. We urge you
to unite upon this ticket as your sole
hope of escape from he rigors of a
grinding gold monopoly.

therefore call for contributions toward
