OF hard feeling between the Orange
men and Hobernians was a mistaken
notion. A good OrangemAn could not
have ill-feeling or prejudice against
any one. he said.
We are all Irishmen, in both or
ganizations and each has the welfare
OF our native land wrapped round its
heart hope that the two organ
izauons will continue forever TO work
together for the good Of the common
cause.
The Rev. John Connolly followed UP
this sentiment with the expressed hope
that the Orangeman and the Hiber-
nian would be brought closer. Father
Connolly spoke of tho power OF con-
science, and said that Il was consci-
ence which would prompt the Iiiber-
nian organization to stand behind the
Orangemen IN their work for the COM
mon welfare
