Fellow CITIZENSHIP. John DAILY (of
Llmerick) has come to this country to
arouse American sympathy in behalf OF
the Irish political prisoners now confined
in England. He has been greeted in most
of the great cities of the Union by SPLEEN
did public meetings, and the Irish socie-
ties have worked with unanimity and en-
thusiasism for the promotion of his mis-
sion. No living man is better qualified
than John Daily for the work he has UNI
dertaken. He is a powerful and eloquent
speaker, and has endured for more than
twelve years for seeking liberty for his
country, the barbarous and inhuman
treatment which sent many of his COM
rades to untimely graves and drove
others mad. His mission is one of hui
n.anity. and his personal record entities
him to the sympathy and support of his
countrymer.
John DAILY first entered q British prison
thirty-two years ago and was released
from his second incarceration in 1886.
During the interval between his first and
second imprisonments he never for a mo-
ment ceased his active connection with
the National movement, and was ever in
the front rank when danger threatened
and when courage and devotion were
needed.
He carried a rife in the insurrection of
1867. and was among the last to leave the
field. He resumed work for ireland at
the first favorable opportunity and led
the men of his native city to many a hard
fought contest. He did splendid work in
the first Amnesty movement which forced
the British government to liberate the Fee
Man leaders. He stood by the side Of
0 Mitchell in the memorable Upper
airy election which resulted in the trium-
triot and enabled him ~ die viotor,ous
