Ircland has earned the estecm of tne pontiff. When the archibishop was being so much talked about in Puaris, his boliness somewhat offended the more conservative portion of his entourage by the warmth with which he expressed his admiration of the American prolate. As to the political tendencies on the other side of tho ocean, even Catholics are apt to take alarm al any symptom which suggests thut an attempt is being made to Romanize America. In Rome an fuverse fear is rather vrovelunt among many of the highest.

Since tho mter- viow of a fow aays siuce, Osborne has beea in Denver consulting with tho attorneys and politicians as 1o tho best course ho could pursue. What they advised and what was decided upon was mado manifesu by this worning’s action, The desire of the demo- crats was 1o have the governor installed in office beforo the official canvassing of the votes on the Sth fnstant, in order that he might, as the law divects, issue certificates to the memuers of ths legislature, This was an_absoluto necessity in order that the re- quisite number of domocrats might particle pate in the organization of the housa so as to sottle all contest ¢ in thoir own way snd elect a deniocratic nenator.
