Does Not MinCe His Words.

| The New York Times is an English
newspaper, published in the Borough
OF Manhattan, and its office is a kind
of intirmary for a horde of journal
! istic cranks from Great Britain and
anti-1rish Ireland, says John +. Fin
erty, editor of the Chicago Citizen.
When anything mean is written re-
garding Ireland and the real Irish the
New York Times is first to print IT..
| When anything complimentary is
| written about them the New York
Times either suppresses the matter
or damns 1t with the faintcst of faint
praise. Such Englishmen as we have
met in our career In America have not
been, in general. narrow or contempti-
bic men socially, but they almost to a
man, showed contempt for Ireland
and jealousy of this country and its
institutions. But we always expect
this from the English and, therefore,
are not taken by surprise when they
show their true colors. However,
they are tolerable in the social SENSE
much more SO than those miserable
Irish who hate the land that gave them
birth and are always seeking some
excuse to be other than they are.
Here is a specimen of this class of
beast, who exposed his idiocy and ma

can citizens what my nationality was

"ERLE" OF DUBLIN.

increasing during the day, are to the effect
that negotiations were in some stage of

draw from the contest for the speakership
and accept the position of republican leader
on the floor of the assembly or some other
important concession, seemed to find their
chief basis in a remark of Mr.. Merritt,
made early in the day. that he would make
statement for publication this evening
When the time came, however he an

The governor had nothing to contribute
to the speakership subject except an In
definite reference to having heard from
some or Mr.. Merrtts friends" He would
not say who they were, but specified that
they were not assemblymen. Mr.. Merritt
later declared that he knew nothing about
