 Committee Appointed

AppOlHlctt
 Last night a committee of represen- tative men of the various divisions of the A. O. H. met in the parlors of the hall used by the First and Third divis- ions of the order and took the most de- cisiye action possible in the endeayor to bring Messrs Redmond, O'Donnell and McHugh to Waterbury. D. J. Griffin was chosen chairman of the joint committee, NJ. Donovan secre- tary, and that genial old war horse in the cause, James Maher, was chosen treasurer.
 The meeting was a most harmonious one and it's discussions proceeded with dispatch. Several plans of action were mentioned, and the one author ized below was finally adopted by all the members as the best.
 The secretary was instructed to com- municate by telegraph with Mir Red mond, and will do so this afternoon. . Two or three of the members furn ished such information as made the joint committee think that the quick est action possible will have to be taken if the people of Waterbury are to have chance to hear these famous Irishmen now pleading ;lIe cause of their country in the towns and cities
 
 Ireland about Christmas time, and as their itinerary includes Boston, Mon- teral, Worcester, New Haven. Balti- more, Pittsburg. Washington, Buffalo, Indianapolis, San Franci sco and d dozen or more of cities of less note, Waterbury must hurry to get them or be left i'll the race.
 The Irishmen of Waterbury. and in- deed all liberty loving people within it's gates. should be glad to get a chance to hear these chosen spokesmen of the Irish cause in this country.
 The Irish parliamentary party is for tunate in having Mir Redmond as it's leader. He is eloquent. magnetic. in- domitable. He has d definite plan of action. a plan which ought to appeal to every Irishmau i'll the world He wishes to make English rule in Ireland so difficult and dangerous that home rule will be at last conceded; he is de- terInined to perfect the laws of land tenure ill his country so that the Celt can buy land on the island which has nurtured his race for q hundred gen. erations. just as the American can buy land and call it his own. Mir Redmond saws that if the present policy of Eng land is to continue in Ireland for an- other generation or two no Celt will be left ill the land
 The plan of action adopted by the committee was this: They chose the names of about fifty prominent Irish men of the city. and they append their names. and ask them 10 meet on AIon- day evening at o'clock at the Hi berpian Darlors in tha~ Grand Army block. The clergy of the city are also asked to cooperate in ihis matter. though the joint committee do not feel free to use their names without their permission. The object of Monday nights meeting is to select a commit tee which will be thoroughly represen- tative of all the Irishmen in the city. both those belonging to the various so cleties and those not belonging to any Of them.
