met him then. and in the curse Of a
long talk I learned with surprise and
some little doubt his plan to force the
English Parliament to consider Irish
projects and grievances In spite Of
themselves. He had invented the pro-
cess Of Construction and the straight
line Of his compressed lips showed a
determination that might put it into
active operation. To open the ball
-four members would suffice. he said.
He was good as his word. Under the
Craftsmanship Of Isaac Butt BY 1879
the Irish party holding one faith had
rown to ffty-four members. Butt, all
though a thinker M orator, had not

p%eriencc showed that they were really

For thirty years the Tammany

In all those years the Republicans held
