paid no attention to OrganiZa ton and
little to registration and concerned
themselves almost exclusively with
trivial matters at the bidding of poll

Orange advcrsarics showed their
usual intolerance by passing an order,
Diminishing the executive sanitary Of
ticer, Mr. Mccormick, who happens to
be a member of the hated Catholic
faith No excuse for such proceed
ing existed: therefore, the worthy
councillors invented one. An appeal
to the local government board brought
about an inquiry. The castle board
ordered the reinstatement of Mr.. NJ
Cormick. The ''loyal' rulers of
Omagh snapped their fingers at the
order of the castle board; so nothing
rema ined to Mr.. Mccormick but an
appeal to the kings bench. The case
was heard in court and judgment
was given in his favor, with costs, all
of which will fall on the ratc-payers
of Omagh. in consequence of the
bgotry of their Orange councillors.
