Temperance Mission in Ireland and Reform Talks
In Ireland a famed temperance reformer Saint Father Mathew travels from Killarney to Killorglin delivering pledges to thousands. He is welcomed by crowds, knelt to accept pledges, and continues on to visit churches and towns, with the Rev. Owen O Sullivan assisting. Separately a Repeal Association letter from Daniel O Connell denounces Toryism and calls for repeal as Ireland’s path to reform.
