Blood Will Tell.
Who is Lynch, of Mississippi? is the query that is now disturbing our Republican friends. For their information we will state that Brudder Lynch is a Cork Irishman who has lived in the Mississippi swamp so long that the hot sun and miasmic inhalations of that region have given him a smoked or heavy olive color. Lynch, on the father's side, claims descent from the ancient kings of Munster, and his maternal ancestry, centuries ago, ruled in great splendor over Ethiopia. No wonder he came to the front at Chicago. Blood will always tell.
