TH0MhS MOORE SORRY.
He Regretted His TRADE Against
American Poets.

Worcester, Mass, Oct. I'm view of
the comment occasioned by the discov-
cry that the name of Thomas Moore
was omitted from the roll of poets in
the Congressional library on the ground
that he had bitterly attacked America,
and particularly Thomas Jefferson. a
letter written by Moore in 1916, u years
after his American poems we're pub
lished, to the editor of the Philadelphia
Portfolio, showing the poets change of
attitude In this letter the poet says:
This life is just long enough to com
NIT errors in, but too short to allow us
to repair them. and there are a few of
my errors regret more sincerely than
the rashness l was guilty of in pub
fishing those crude and bearish TRADES
against the Americans. My sentiments,
both with respect to the national and
Individual character, are about changed
since then. and I should blush, as IoY-
er of liberty. if l allowed the hasty
prejudice of my youth to blind me now
to the bright promise which America
affords of more better and a happier
order of things than the world has ever
yet witnessed. If you but knew to be
as good Republicans as we in Europe
seem determined to be good Royalsts,
the new and old world need soon have
no other distinction than the hemis-
phere of freedom and the hemisphere
of slaves"

that the utterances Of President Wood

In this emergency, all eyes are turned
toward the Democratic party. It was
the only party TO make a protest
effectively and forcibly. The sentiment
yesterday crystallized into the question
What Will the Democrats do?" There
were several runors prevailing to the
effect that the candidates had resigned
and that the Republicans would not
hold a convention. This is untrue, as
no action has been taken IL the matter
nor win there be. All are waiting until
the situation clears little and ucidity

which prevailed all day yesterday.
