A Plot Against the Gaelic League?Manuscript: Hyde (Dr. Douglas) 'An Craoibhín Aoibhinn'. An important manuscript letter, 8 pp (two folded sheets), on his Ratra Notepaper, dated Márta [March] 24, [19]02, to an unnamed correspondent ['A Charaid dhílis'], evidently a Donegal resident, and his/her friend Pádraig, who is also to be informed.'I am writing to you on an important matter that concerns the very life or death of the Gaelic League.' Hyde says a friend in whom he has the fullest confidence, has informed him of a plot being hatched in the office of the Freeman newspaper. 'The power of the Gaelic League was to be broken. We were getting too strong for the "National" cause (i.e. the politicians) .. The plot is to be carried out by making the Branches adopt a new Constitution which is being urged upon them by Mr. O'Keefe, a Freeman reporter - who is not working at his own expense. This Constitution will leave the Executive at headquarters only a shadow of power. The real power & funds will be dissipated amongst a number of local bodies which are much easier managed & controlled.'Hyde claims that 'Dr. O'Hickey, John MacNeill (the founder of the Gaelic League) and myself are to be got rid of, the first two because they are "political disruptionists" (which they are not), & I because I am dangerous for other reasons. This is to be done by providing that both President & Vice Presidents be elected by ballot. When we are got rid of & the power of the Executive reduced to vanishing point, then there will be peace ..'Hyde says that 'it has been our strong central executive, controlling 3 organizers, a paid staff, a weekly paper, & ruling 300 branches from our rooms in Dublin, that has made us a power .. It is this that has made MPs assist us in Parliament, & that has enabled us to beat first the National and then the Intermediate Board [of Education], in so far as we have beaten them. But once break up the central grip of affairs, dissipate the money & power amongst a number of local bodies, & the League becomes useless as a power either for good or ill in the national life.'Hyde asks his correspondent to give a strong lead to the delegates from Donegal in the right direction, and to keep what he has written quite secret, firstly to protect his informant, and secondly because 'to publish matters wd create a row in the face of the enemy, & we can defeat the scheme quietly by being forewarned.' (1)A most important letter for the history of the Gaelic League, and an indication of Hyde's effectiveness as an organiser. As a m/ss, w.a.f. Ex. Rare.
