Not to answer assertion with mere counter-assertion, we have compiled the following list, from _Appleton’s_, including only such names as are specifically stated to belong to the Irish race, omitting all that are claimed as “Scotch-Irish,” and not even counting men of known Irish origin who are not so described in the cyclopedia. In so doing we purposely leave out scores of Kellys, Butlers, Moores, Barrys, Boyles, etc. We do not wish to claim anything beyond the strict letter of Mr. Lodge’s authority, _Appleton’s Encyclopedia_. For every name in the following lists given by _Appleton’s_ as Irish, but possibly of remoter Scotch or English origin, there will be found half a dozen other names in _Appleton’s_ of obvious Celtic Irish origin which are not here included because not so specified in the cyclopedia. We are taking Mr. Lodge’s authority as such, in order to show how wildly he has departed from it. Following is the correct list compiled from _Appleton’s_: STATESMEN. Chester A. Arthur Robert W. Barnwell John S. Barry James G. Birney David C. Broderick Thomas Burke Pierce Butler John C. Calhoun Daniel Carroll John Lee Carroll Charles Carroll of Carrollton Eugene Casserly P. A.
