GLADSTONE’S ELOQUENCE,
MIDLOTHIAN'S FAITHFUL YKO
MANBY HELD SUKLL BOUND.
A Full Explanation of tbe Grand Old
Man’s Attitude ou the Irish Question
Irom Hlii Own I.ipe—Willing to Accept
Alternative Measures if au Improve
ment on His Owu.
Edinburgh, Juue 18.—Mr. Gladstone
was in tine spirits to-day. He took a long
drive about the city. He will speak here
Monday night and at Manchester some
time during the coming week, in addition
to bis speech here to-night.
Mr. Gladstone spoke in Music Hall here
to-night. Tickets of admission had been
issued and the hall, which is capable of
holding 2,000 persons, was filled to its ut
most capacity. The audience cheered
for Mr. Gladstone and Lord Uosebery
and groaned for Mr. Chamberlain and
Lord Hartington and the other Unionists.
When he began his speech, Mr. Glad
stone’s voice seemed less powerful than
formerly. He said that lukerman was
the soldiers’ battle. It was not won by
renerais’ tactics or ability, but by sol
fliers’ valor. Equally were the present
dissolution of I’arliament and the general
elections the people’s battle. Referring
to the seceding Liberals. Mr. Gladstone
said the question was whether the coun
try would resolve, with a strong sense ot
justice and sympathy, for Ireland to com
pensate for tuesedefections, lie said:
I am ftroDgly convinced that the people
have resolved to carry the day, notwithstand
ing the defectiou of prominent leaders of tho
Liberal party. The contest was fought
against us by officers of our own army.
TUB CONBBRVATIVKS.
The Conservatives were content to leave
tile work m the seeeders’ hands. They call
themselves unionists and us disintegrators.
They wish to preserve the paper union uu
iltered.' We feel that it should be specially
Conserved, so far as it is valuable. We seek a
union of heart and mind, which we are strug
gling to respire. .ft is Uesirahlc to speedily
close this great controversy, forevery interest
in this country, the positiou of all parties,
wilt be deplorable, public business will he in
terrupted and public confidence shaken. So
cial order in Ireland will not he restored un
less tiie people speak elearly, manfully and
decisively, such as ihe question merits.
[Cheers.J Do not let it uc sai t that the nation
is unequal to the task of dealing with the
liiestum. Some Hindi from the difficulty,
ionic turn their hacks in the hour of trouble.
Lct.thc nation not do likewise.
EFFECTS OF SUCCESS.
Rest assured that if the nation’s voice be
liven in defense of our cause, when the con
test is settle 1 and ihe excitement has passed
away it wi I resemble tile old questions of re
ligious disability. Parliamentary reform and
Iree trade. The people will wonder why the
opposition was raisod. As before, they forget
the opposition to the repeal of theoorn laws and
the removal of religious disability, so will
they now forget the opposition to iho change
we are striving to atiain. Irish claims were
defeated by lii-li agency. The Conservatives
having obtained forty seals through the sup
port of the Pwuedite- do not praise or blame
Mr. Parned for his action. Suppose forty had
been deducted from our opponents in the
home line division, it would have made
their number 331 instead of 311. Suppose
forty had been added to our 311, it would have
made us 351 instead of 311.
THE REAL ISSUE.
It is important that the electors should
realizethe true i-sue, which is much disputed.
Is it a choice hetweeu opposite policies re
garding Ireland, lietweeu oppo-ile principles
of action, or a eh .ice upon the details of a
large and complicated bill? Important
journals urge you not to consider the policy
to he pursut and, hut to entangle yourselves in
the de.’ails of ibis or that particular method
of establishing that policy. The question you
are asked to decide is the proposition toestan
lish a legislative body in Ireland lo manage
exclusively Irish affairs. It is the principle
upon which you are called to vote, and uot.
the details and part.culars or even a bill. I
propose to reduce the issue to a point where
from there cuu he no escape.
THE SCOTSMAN’S OPPOSITION.
Among the great and powerful defections
from honesty and honor whereof we are con
vinced and which we deeply lament, is that
of our former powerful ailv, the sausmau
newspaper (hisses and groans], winch has
rendered groat and valuable services to Lib
eral policy The Scotsman now goes to the
rout of ihe. matter and puls che Issue m a way
in which it can he met more meritoriously—
just us our opponents in Parliament pul the
issue in a wav at one time favoring home rule
and the piinciple of the hill an I yet voted
against it because they objected to tho details
ol the measure. Ihe Scotsman put the question
fairy and clearly. It says: “Any general
professions by the Ministerialists of a desire
for a If government iu Ireland will serve
them.
ONE QUESTION A TEST.
“One question will lest the value or
meaning of these professions. Let the
candidate be asked if he would in the
new Parliament support Mr. Glad
stone's hill, if reintroduced with the al-
U iat.one explained at the foreign office meet
ing. If lie will, lie is for disuniuu, and ought
to lie rejected. No play upon words will help
lum out of this position now. .Mark the com
ing words: safe self government for Ireland
ii the one thing m't de-irable in Mr. Glad-'
s one’s hill. Init there Is another
ino-t undesirable feature." I now
make the Scotsman and all agreeing with it a
very handsome ofl'er. 1 am sure when they
mention safe self-government they don’t
mean by “sale" to emasculate the sub.-tan
tiative. They mean that with reasonable
precautions the Irish ought to have real effec
tive control of Irish affairs. That is ail we
want, [cheers.] All we ask of you. We
■lever asset Parliament to tie itself to the de
tails of the bill.
NO OBJECTION TO ClliNliKs.
Thors is no pari, of it that Parliament is not
iiorfi-ctlr free to change if the change is com
patible wi.li the pinivnlo amt likely to for
ward tlniapplication of the principle butter
than the provision embodied in I lie In 11. We
would come to accept a change in tills as no
novelty. I made tills declaration on behalf
of the government. The ease is tins: We had
betoro us tho principle to establish an Irish
statutory legislative body or a Turlianieul t >
manage exclusively Irish nifans. Wo
laid down several conditions essen*

principle. It must lie corapatibe with and

they do this they will not be more happy than
we—perhaps not quite so happy. The Scots
man says: "Every Ministerialist must lie con
sidered pledged lo support the bill.” He can
hardly be pledged to sunport the bill as a Min
isterialist when the Ministry itself don’t ask
or expect it. We expect him to act in good
faith, knowing the meaning of his words and
not using others as feints, screens or strate
gems to escape from it, hut shall in tho mean
ing of his words give Ireland real and elYect
ive control of local affairs. If he is ready to
oo that lie is a good Ministerial candidate. If
he pledges himself to do that let him speak by
the hour, or vard if he likes, to the satisfac
tion of Scotchmen against the vice, defects,
weaknesses and follies of the bill.
What tiie nation has todecide is notclanso,

who accepts them is our brother in arms. Ho
who repels them, shirks and uses ficticious
means to falsify them, and is an adversary in
the light whom we must without injury to his
life, limb or reputation endeavor to defeat.
SCOTLAND’S FEELING.
I read in London that Scotland was doubt
ful or adverse to home rule, t answered that
I did not believe it. [Cheers.] I hoped for
an opportunity to test it and I saw enough in
my progress yesterday to show me that the
heart of Scotland is most deeply and pro
foundly touched, and that Scotland was
never more earnestly bent on a work of policy
and justice than it is to accomplish the
present enterprise. [Loud cheers ] *
THE CARNARVON-PARNEI.L INCIDENT.
Regnrdlngthe Uarnarvon-t’arnell incident,
I blame neilfcer. It is extremely imnortant
to know what happened. Mr. Darnell said
that Karl Carnarvon offered, if the Conserva
tives were successful in the elections, to grant
a home rule measure and to protect Irish in
dustries. Earl Carnarvon denied the accu
racy of tht“ statement, bur Mr. Parnell adheres
to it. 1 believe that both have spokcu with
perfect veracity, whatever may he the
point of dispute between them. Rut Earl
Carnarvon lias told uh what he did not say.
He said he did not report the conversation to
the Cabinet. Kar! Carnarvon explained his
views as Lord Lieutenant and as • all-net
Minister. LordJCarnarvontold bis colleagues
that he favored a plan that would fully meet
the wants of Ireland in respect to local self
government, and would to some extent satisfy
national aspirations.
CARNARVON THEIR MAN.
Lord Carnarvon may dislike it, but in sub
stance he is our man. not theirs, if he is ready
to meet the wants of Ireland for local self
government [disturbance and cries of "turu
them out,”] and also in some degree to sat
isfy tho rational aspirations of Ireland.
There is no room for a dispute between him
and us. The Marquis of Hartington and Mr.
Chamberlain carefully avoided expressing
readiness to satisfy in some degree the na
tional aspirations of Ireland, This and no
oilier is the turning point. These are I-ord
Carnavon’s opinions, and this is what he said,
hut I call his attention, and shall call It re
peatedly if necessary, to what he did not say.
He hits not stated what he did say to Mr. Par
nell. I shall believe until he contradicts it
that he told Parnell he favored satisfying the
wantsof Ireland tully with regard to local
self-government, and that he desired to satis
fy Ireland’snatlonal aspirations. Whydidnot
the Cabinet expel this dlsuniomst for his mis
deeds, but for the fact that they were sorry
to lose him?
CARNARVON’S STATEMENT.
I beheva Lord Carnarvon’s statement that
he never told the Cabinet, but 1 leal aura he
told Lord Sttii-bory because it was his abso
lute duty and because ho was not entitled to
make such a statement to Mr. Parnell and
withhold it from the Premier if ho did so. We
know that Lord Salisbury, until August,
knew that his colleague was in communica
tion with the great “disintegrator” and ‘-dis
memberer.” I do not flud fault with Lord
Salisbury if he entertained a wish in the
same direction as Lord Carnarvon. I
think it very wise of I.ord Salisbury.
Thesnmmitor my ambition would have been
to support him and give effect to his wise m
clinatmn. If Lord Salisbury faltered and ro
quet ed with that subject before the election
was over and 40 seats secured he carefully
concealed his opinion, that satisfying the na
tional aspirations of Ireland is disintegration
and dismemberment. If such is the ease he
has a serious responsibility resting upon him
and a difficult account to render. The course
he then parsued is placed in contrast with his
conduct now.
HARTINGTON’S COURSE.
Referring to Lord Hartington, ins former
colleague aud his present friends’ alternative
policy. Mr. Giadsionc said: laird Ilartiug
ton. three years ago. opposed all concessions
to Ireland in the matter of local government
until a fundamental change and penitential
reformation in the conduct of the Irish mem
bers should have come about. The Irish hsve
moved in the wrong direction but Lord Hnr
tington has moved towards them,
lie no longer talks of gradual progress
but in bis address certain powers
not mentioned are to lie delegated to certain
bodies, the memliers of which an; unknown.
What can Iw expeoted from one who thus
varies bis schemes? They are the plans of
very eminent individuals taken upbV nobody.
Do you intend to h ive a plan with finality, or
a plan which the Irish representatives repu
diate? Is it trilling with the subject?
IRISH CENTRAL COUNCILS.
Mr. Chamberlain proposed a year
:ig i the establishment or Irish central
I i.nurds with large clmiMstrative powers,
l believe that plan was not Mr. Cbamner
laiuV. hut Mr. Parnell’s, who wa* willimr

made him take wliat was the beat lie could
get after the Tory government cunie
in. At the beginning of lSSfi Mr.
Chamberlain went further, aud advo
cated a large scheme of federation,
lie next prnnoiiuded during the same session
an extremely small scheme for provincial
Irish councils, cutting national aspiration*
into quarters like a roan used to bo hanged,
drawn and quartered [Cheers and laughter.]
Mr. Chamberlain files high like a lark, or low
like a -Wallow before a shower, aeeording to
the suggestions of his teeming brain.
ENOUGH OK CHAMBERLAIN.
I nave perhaps shown you enough of tho
fertility of this remarkable man who yester
day founded the Radical-Unionist Association
to support local self-government for England.
Ireland and .Scotland. Poor Wales is to have
no recognition. At iinotlmr nine I will dis
cus- a plan of local government tor England,
Ir .land and Scotland as a mode ol dealing
with tbe great and crying subject of
social disorder in Ireland. One broad,
b'asling, glaring difference between these
couniries it that, whereas these sre well
governed, well constituted and contented
communities, Ireland has not attained ihe
primary purposes of civilized life. I ask
whether Mr. Chamberlain's sugges
tions can be taken as a sub
stitute for tho government plan?
THE COERCION POLICY.
Wall, gentlemen, the real rival policy Isoo
ere,ion. We wont quarrel about the word,
but It means a policy of special, repressive,
criminal Irglslal ton for Ireland to theexclu
sion ot tbw remainder of tireat Itritian. You
inu it choose between the irnllcy of coercion
and the policy of conciliation. (Cheers.)
Isird Salisbury dnaenlws uiy reference to his
policy of iwenty years coercion
as one of tho most deliberate
one laiements on record. Well, I hold by It.
I mean to hold by it. I menu Pi repeat It. I
mean lo Impress It Upon the country, and I
moan that the r entry shall fairly have the
means of c .nung P> an Issuo on It and to know

[Loud and prolonged cheers.]
Mr. Gladstone spoke for an hour and a
half. At the end of bis speech a vote of
confidence in Mr. Gladstone was carried
unanimously amid great enthusiasm*
SAHSBUIIY AT LEEDS.
An Emphatic Denial That. There
was a. Bargain With the Irish.
Leeds, June 18.—Enormous crowds
awaited the arrival of 1-onl Salisbury here
to-day and cheered him loudly. The hall
was packed, their being 5,000 persons
present. Fully double that number ol
tickets bad been applied for. The audi
enoe whiled away the time by singing the
national anthem, “Auld Lang Syne,” aud
various patriotic songs until Lord Salis
bury appeared. Upon his arrival there
was an outburst ot vigorous cheering and
the crowd sung “He is a .lolly Good Fel
low.’’ Lord Salisbury began his address
by stating that in most cases of an appeal
to the tribunal of the people there was
cause with an antagonist to defend, “but
now,” said the speaker, “we have a very
living and vigorous antagonist defending
a shadowy, immaterial and unsubstantial
cause.” He then continued:
There was a hill but it is dead and has been
abandoned by its own narents [laughicr], aDd
nothing has been proposed lo replace It. Wo
know little with wliat antagonist we are
fighting anu our opponents are equally em
barrassed . •
OrPOSBD TO AN IRISH LEGISLATURE.
Instead of defending their proposal they
are reduced to attacking us by means of fla
grant misrepresentations, [hurrahs,] one of
these statements, [l’arnelnte hisses,] sup
ported by Earl Spencer aud Mr. Gladstone,
[hisses], is lhat we championed the home rule
bill until it was no longer expedient for my
self. I desire to say that 1 was always de
cidedly of the opinion that an Irish legisla
ture wag impracticable, and that an at
tempt lo establish one would be disastrous to
England. I never varied from that opinion
for a moment, nor ever said anything pub
licly or privately to anybody to justify them
in thinkipg that I had, ami I may say the
same for the rest of my colleagues. The
ttatement that the Cabinet had ever enter
sained a proposal to institute an Irish Legis
lature is absolutely without. any foundation.
The statement that we had indicated such an
opinion to any person whatever, whether
Irish land owners or otherwise, is equally
devoid of foundation. [Loud cheers],
KNOWN TO FOURTEEN OTHERS.
I speak of what I know as a fact, not only
known to myself, ITUt *o fourteen other per
sons. Mr. Purnell. Mr. Gladstone aud Lord
Spencer in supporting the statement were
speaking on a foundation of mere gossip, for
which they could have no au
thentic proof whatever. I do not know
who the gossiper was that misled
Mr. Parnell and Mr. Gladstone, but I entreat
them not to trust that gentleman for the fu
ture. [Laughter.] I assure them that we
were never nearer the doctrine of an Irish
Legislature than wc are to-day. Mr. Glad
stone's wanilesto says that the question is
simply, “will you govern Ireland by coercion
or will you allow her to manage her own
affairs?” It would require great ingenuity to
pack a more delusive statement into fewer
words. Nobody has proposed to govern Ire
laud by coercion.
DEFINING COERCION.
Here the speaker entered into an argu
ment as to what constitutes coercion.
He referred to the Kilmainbani imprison
ments as gigautlc political coercion to an
extent never before ventured, and to
which he hoped an English minister would
never again go. He would not say that
it was not justified beoause he did not
know upon what secret Information Mr,
Gladstone had acted.
We may say that criminal law is all coer
cion. If Mr. Gladstone is opposed to It we
must presume that he sympathizes with
criminals, .against whom efforts are being
made. [Cheer-.] Our coercion, which he de
nounces, was directed against robbery, mur
der, {mutilation, terrorism, aud a system of
organized intimidation which made life bit
ter lo thousands of innocent persons. I won
der if lie ever thought for a moment what fol
lowing our Cabinet by an anti-coercion Cabi
net meant?
THE CONSERVATIVE DESIRE.
All that wc desire is that the law be suffi
ciently business like aud efficacious to carry
out its own behests. Coercion meant nothing
else in our .nouths. and to compare iliat. with
tho coercion that Mr. Gladstone exercised at
Kilmainham is a mere juggle upon words.
[Cheers.] Who is this Ire and and wliat are
her own affairs? I it Ireland lhat -peaks
with two voices divided Into two parts reso
lutely, permanently or at least inveicrably
and bitterly opposed lo each other? To
personify such an Ireland as she is an
attempt to mislead the country. England
sympathized deeply and rightly with the
efforts of Greece and Italy to obtain inde
pendence, but they w ere large bodies of men
S|eukiug with .a single vo ce, but in Ireland
you have x quarter to a third of (ho whole

struggling for right—the other lie speaks ol us
tiie Ignoble few. What justice is there in
that?
THE WORD SELF-GOVERNMENT.

of finality but by their nature constitute a

sliilo luto perfect separation, w hich ts tho end
that the DarueMltos mean to attain.
THE CINCINNATI SPEECH.
Much has lieen made of the Parnellitos' re
cent protestations in delskte, hut it should fie
remembered that Mr. Parnell said deliber
ately that America would not be satisfied till
she had destroyed the last liuk that
keeps Ireland bound to England. This
statement has been a question, but it
has heeu proved to have been uttered
in Cincinnati. The government’s paper
safeguards would bo worthless, and with no
f tree bchiDd them they would he destroyed
in tho first live yean of au Irish government.
The moment tha demaud is made for their re
peal they must be repealed or besitnplyawcpt
away Do not imagine that It affects Irish
men alone. It a (Torts Kugland in every way.
WHAT SEPARATION MEANS.
Separate Irelauu means a country
possibly hostile, which in a foreign
crisis might join an enemy. It
would mean a constant additional burden
upon the already overburdened taxpayers ol'
this country. You would have to guard your
we-tern coast, where some of tho most
flourishing and populous marts of
industry exist and where the
workmen have a great interest. If capital is
withdrawn employment ceases. Wage
earners must find a living somewhere. 1 have
been denounced by iaoor candidates as u
would-be exterminator of the horny-hamled
sons of toil from the mother land, aad 1 con
fess I am surprised that my simple sug
gestion that the State should assist .emigra
tion met such opposition. Surely, lessening
the number of workingmen increases the
chances of good wages.
A BENEFIT.
The more you can enable willing emigrants
to go w he re lbey ni s y beco uiemoreprosperous,
ihe greater benefit to those remaining. At the
same time the} tell me even Liberals like M r.
Take, that in certain districts in Ireland if
you gave men land they must still starve. It
is a ridiculous contention. [Cheers. | It must
bo understood that 1 always mean willing
emigrants, hut (lie last thing 1 wish is to
draw a large migration of the pauperized
Irish population into England as it would
neither be good tor them nor good for us.
[Cheers.] They would only demoralize labor,
and the market herein already overstocked. If
not assisted to go abroad they will Inevitably
come here. Tu workmen thou would feel
the fatal resultßofthe Irish policy. [Cheers ]
You ask whether I am prepureu to answer
the demand for local government in Ireland.
My reply is that local government and home
rule have nothing whatever to do with each
other.
HIS PLATFORM.
I have always advocated a good system of
local government for Kugland, Scotland and
Ireland, the essence of which is that It launder
control of the central government and under
takes duties consigned to it. [Cheers,j That
it passes by-laws, not laws, and should not be
independent.
***•*£#
The announcement that unless the Parnell -
ites were got rid of English legislation would
he demoralized was very terrrifile. If t“5
memliers are to be at the mercy of 85 depend
upon it a disease is sating into your Parlia
mentarv system which no adjustment of the
Irish question ana destroy. [Cheers.] I
know this system f what may be called levy
ing blackmail baajnaia luarful progress in
recent years.
POWER OF INDEPENDENTS.
The strife of parties is so keen and the or
ganization of parties so good that a handful
of members keeping themselves outside of
both political parties can go alternately to
ODe and the other aud almost get their
own price by promising assist
ance *in any division that arises.
This is a terrible state of things. The question
roally put by the present crisis to the English
people is, whether they are so eaten up by the
party system that they will be victims of this
plau of blackmail, or whether the party sys
tem is In their minds only a subordinate ar
rangement to be thrust aside the moment t hat
anv such audacious encroachment is medi
tated against them. [Cheers.]
PARTISANSHIP’S POWER.
Thev must decide whether they are strong
enough to continue to bear the burden which
their fathers bore, or whether partisanship
has socaten into their souls that a representa
tive government is no longer a fit government
for them. It is indeed a critical pe
riod in our nation’s life if wo cannot
exterminate this evil we shall undoubtedly
succumb. It is time, indeed, for the manlioo 1
of English mind and English moral nature to
assert itself [Hear! Hear!’, and on the suc
cess with which the assertion is made depends
the destiny of the empire you have inherited
from a loDg line of ancestors for many genera
tion* to come. [Cheers.]

its station in the vicinity of the main
doors, and when they were throwu open a
closely packed line of men, women and
children extouded from the main entrance
down the carriage way out of the north
gates and east on Pennsylvania avenue
to Fifteenth street. There were tully
5,000 persons in liue, and at 10 o’clock tho
number had not been perceptibly dimin
ished. The President and Mrs. Cleveland
were assisted by Mrs. Kudioott, Mrs.
Whitney and Mrs. Vilas. Airs. Cleveland
wore her wedding dress of
Ivory satin, arranged in the
same style as at the olllclal recep
tion on Tuesday evening. Her ornamouts
consisted of a diamond necklace, tho
President’s wedding gilt, to which was
attached a beautiful diamond pendant;
and in her hair, which was tasteluliy ar
ranged in Grecian coils, was a diamond
star (or tiara) of rare beauty and bril
liancy. The floral decorations were simi
lar to those of last Tuesday, and the gen
eral arrangements were also practically
the same. The President and Mrs. Cleve
land shook bands with all as the throng
passed through the blue room, aud the
bride bud a smile for eaob one and a
kind word for those she recognized in the
moving crowd. The Murine Hand was
stationed in the vestibule, and played at

at the schkutzknfkst.
Early in the evening the President and
Mrs. Cleveland visited the Seheutzenfesi,
which is in progress here this week.
Wheu the President’s carriage reached
the gate of the enclosure every man,
woman und child on the grounds stood
near the entrance, striving to get a
glimpse of tbs President and bis bride. As
tha carriage entered tho gate the -Marine
Band struck up “Hail to the Chief,” and
amid the strains of music and the tiring of
ouunon the party drove up to the pavil
ion but did not alight, Simon Woll,
President of the Schuetzen Verein, intro
duced the President to the officers of that
association, aud for each Mr. Cleveland
had a pleasant word. After the officers of
the association had been presented a short
heavy set man who had won the marks
manship prize ol the lest, and for that
reason will be “king” of the society until
the prize is wrested from him, walked up
try tho carriage and was introduced to the
President as “the King.”
HE LOOKS LIKE ONE.
The President smiled, and its be shook
his baud, turned to Mr. Wolf ami said:
“He looks like one.” The “King” had
hardly left the carriage when the ehief of
one ol the divisions o! the Sixth Auditor’s
office secured an introduction lor a fe
male friend and broke the ice for a num
ber ot others, both male and female, who
introduced themselves and were accorded
a shake ol the hand by the President and
a smile from Mrs. Cleveland. A squad of
police and the managers of the tost then
escorted the President and Airs-Cleve
land around the grounds, and upon their
return to the starling point |tnay stopped
a lew moments to witness a trapeze per
formance.
CHUCKING THE BABY.
A young German woman embraced tho
opportunity to introduce to the President
her baby, healthy and vigorous, but very
dirty, which she lifted into tho carriage
and held there while the President
chucked It under the chin amid roars of
laughter trom the crowd, in which Mrs.
Cleveland heartilv joined. Tne visitors
remained about half an hour, and the
Presideut expressed himself as much
pleased with wb.i lie had aoeu, und
said that he reg"‘tted that the re
ception this evening prevented his
remaining longer. When the President
was leaving “Throe cheers lor our l’resi
dent and Mrs. Cleveland” were proposed
and given with a will. When the cheer
ing had subsided, an Irish veteran from
the neighboring Soldiers Home and crip
pled, elbowed his way through the crowd,
and as be reached the carriage took off
his battered fiat and shouted at tho top of
bis voice, “God be wid ye Cleveland,”
and w’t b this blessing the President und
his bride drove away.

We ought to have bad Messrs. Curtin
