O'Dounell warned his hearers against the wiles of Kearney, who, he said, had organized * greenback party in the interest of •the Republicans. At a lltti* distance Kearney defended himself as 6ne who had courted danger and poverty with a heart bleeding for the woes of the op­ pressed poor. "It Is because I love and feel for you and yours," he spid "that a restless and fevered brain kept my fiunlly and self in misery for three long years and more." l'he fact is that Kfeamtywas remarkably comfortable and happy for three long years and more, as long indeed as his friends were fools enough to support him.
