Hadley Offers Precedents.

Governor Hadley said he had ample
precedent for the action he demanded.
In 1854, ne said, the convention. "in its
own right to conduct its own business In
It's own way" overthrew the national
committees selection OF a temporary
chairman,
"That convention declared that the ma
tional committee was the servant and not
the master of the people in the party"
he said. Hadley also quoted as a prece-
dent a decision OF George f. Hosr Of
Massachusetts, presiding in the conven-

delegates.

Hadley "the precedent Of the convention
of 1864. which for the second time nomi

But, conceding for the sake of argu-
ment the contention OF the other side that
this is entirely new question and that
there Is no precedent, every precedent
must have a beginning.
"In order 10 live that precedent must

latter forces are popular or at least are treated
with some federation, whereas the police are de-

back of England's policy Of keeping the army and
militia out of Irish agrarian troubles. Ireland
used to be good recruiting ground for these lat
ter forces, and 1t is important to England that 1t
should continue This consideration would die

that outrages have often been manufactured" by

any truth in this statement.
1T is no longer true" he said. "But" he added,

had to flee the country.

he was too good to last long Another said he
might be Government spy who would get them
all in trouble. That he went to mass regularly
was admitted, but there were some who remarked
that his manner of blessing himself revealed the
amateur worshiper. The conjecture that he might
be Government spy came to Bartleys own ears
and at once he set about to explode it.
"The first thing BARLEY did was to go to a
liquor sellers and get drunk. When he was told
to get out he became abusive, cursing everybody
in authority, especially the Government the Lord
Lieutenant, and the Queen. Rolling in the gutter,
he called for three cheers for Irish Republic
and Parliament in College Green. When the
police came. BARLEY become more abusive. At
the station house he assaulted two Of thea and
challenged any miserable hound that ever wore
the Queens uniform to standup fight. When
he appeared before the magistrates he was fined
heavily, and, in accordance with the part he was
playing would have gone to Jail instead Of paying
the fine, had not crowd Of sympathizing Ma
tionalists in the body of the court subscribed the
amount of the fine between them. After giving
this incontestable proof that he was genuine
Nationalist and no Government spy, Bartley'0
reputation was re-established.
Work at the forge now became more brisk.
But whereas previously the men brought spades,
shovels and plowshares to mend, they now
brought pixies and muskets. BARLEY was trusted
as he had never been before. The week after his
encounter with the police he was sworn in as
regular member OF the secret society ready TO
take the field against the Government when the
rebellion was announced. He had. however. stipu-
lated that he should not be asked to leave the
forge until actual war had broken out and his
wishes were respected Many firearms were
mended and many pixies were made for the mem
bers Of the revolutionary society. BARLEY knew
the name of every member; the name of every
man who had riae;s the name Of everybody who
committed an outrage for five years previously,
and the name of every person on whom out
rage was intended to be committed. BARLEY
made reports Of these particulars to the central
Office in Dublin He thanked and told to
keep cool. When the Government thought the net
full they drew it out, and presto! the whole
town and district OK Tubbercurry was thrown
into state Of the widest confusion. Summonses
issued for all the names on Bartley's list.
Those who felt that their were light attend

he heard that the first summons issued
Had he remained few hours later. he would
