THE NATIONAL POLICY MINSTRELS.
BRUDDER TAMBO’S ASTOUNDING FINANCIAL CONUNDRUM.
WILL HE CAPTURE IT?
A promise of a seat in the prospective Tory Cabinet was made to Mr. John O’Donohue on condition that he would manage the “Catholic vote” in the Conservative interest in the forthcoming election. This reward Mr. O’Donohue did his best to win, but by the intervention of the Orange leaders, the “bargain” as made was not allowed to take effect. Mr. O’Donohue never got the portfolio, but had to content himself with a Senatorship instead.
