The candidacy of Mr.Henry George had not yet been announced in New York.

But Dr.M'Glynn resumed his practice of addressing public meetings in support of the doctrines of Mr.Davitt and of Henry George.

The Archbishop's duty was plain.

It was not pleasant.

A Catholic prelate of Irish blood living in New York might have been pardoned for avoiding, if he could, an open intervention at such a moment, to prevent an able and popular priest from disobeying his ecclesiastical superiors in his zeal for a doctrine hostile to "landlordism," and cordially approved by the most influential of the Irish leaders.
But on the 21st August 1886, while all the Irishmen in New York were wild with excitement over the proceedings at Chicago, Archbishop Corrigan did his duty, and admonished Dr.M'Glynn to restrain his political ardour.
