are not set aside by us, and that we do not set ourselves up
individually as judges and arbitrators of the lives of men. We live
in a nation that will tolerate no such work, be the nationality
what it may. [Cheers.] Because Dr. Cronin saw fit to ask for an
accounting for moneys disposed of illegally, unjustly and
wrongfully; moneys given from the sweat and blood, from the heart's
core of the Irish-Americans for their country's cause, there was
but one course. They had not the money to give back, and because he
would not cease at the bidding of the traitors murder was resorted
to to cover up robbery. [Cheers.] For Dr. Cronin's honor and his
loyalty to Ireland I myself would vouch with my life. [Tremendous
cheers.] Let it be your care to allow no one to utter the slander
that Dr. Cronin was not loyal to Ireland. Let it be your care to
resent the lie that Dr. Cronin still lives in the body. He does
live in spirit. He still lives in the hearts of the men of his
country." [Cheers.]

DENOUNCED AT OGDEN'S GROVE.

John F. Finerty presided over the meeting at Ogden's Grove, and Rev. G.
W. Pepper, of Louisville; Judge J. W. Fitzgerald, of Cincinnati; Senator
Grady, of New York; and O'Neill Ryan, of St. Louis, were among the
speakers. The mention of Alexander Sullivan's name by Senator Grady was
the signal for a scene of considerable enthusiasm. The speeches were
devoted to the condition of the Irish race and the progress of the work
of Parnell and his lieutenants for the liberation of their country from
English rule. The only reference to the tragedy that was at that moment
being denounced at the other end of the city occurred in an address,
which was read and adopted, and was in these words:

"We would deem it, under other circumstances, quite unnecessary to
emphasize before the American people the unwavering devotion of
Irish-American citizens to the government of the United States, but
a tragedy was recently enacted in our midst, the victim of which
was one of our own race, that has been made the occasion of venting
upon us as a people, and upon our societies as a body, the spleen
and venom of persons who, claiming to be superloyal to the
republic, have not the claim to honest loyalty which we, as a race,
hold upon this continent. The Heights of Abraham, red with the
blood of Montgomery;
