GREAT MEETING OF THE HOME RULE Asso-
CITATION.
On last night week the Home Govern
ment Association held, in the Round Room
of the Rotundo, one Of the most important
and successful public meetings that has
been held for many long years in Dublin.
The immediate object of the meeting was
tunity of expressing their qualification at
the conduct of the electors of Kerry and
Galway; and the enormous multitude who
besieged the approaches to the Rotundo
when the hour fixed for the meeting dreM
nigh, and the enthusiasm displayed by the
large audience who crowded the Roand
Room almost to the point of suffocation,
showed how deep was the feeling of exulta-
ton created in the breasts of the masses by
the recent triumphs of the Home Rule can
didates. Thousands Of persons unable to
obtain admission remained outside the
building, re;echoing the cheers that broke

Captain Nolan, Nj. p, Mr.. Butt, M. F., Mr..
Martin, M. p, Mr.. Shaw, NJ. p, Captain
King Hartman, Mr.. j. G. MacCarthy, of
Cork, and Professor Galbraith were among
the speakers, we have said enough to ac-
count for the enthusiastic tone and excel
lent spirit of the meeting. 1t was in all
respects a most satisfactory demonstra-
ton, and we congratulate the Home Gov
eminent Association on being the medium
of eliciting so important an expression of
opinion. 1t was due to the coed men who
had fought the battle of Ireland so nobly
in the West and in the South, to show how
highly their services are priced by their
conntrymen in the Irish capital /; ard in the
resolutions proposed, the speeches deliv-
cred, and the accianations which resound-
ed in the Rotundo, that debt of gratitude
was well repaid.-DubHn Nation, Feb "a.
THE o'DoNoGHUE AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.
The electors of Tralee are not going to
submit silently to the conduct of The
ODonoghue in pretending to ignore the
requisition which strips him of his repre-
sentative capacity. 1t is stated that the
electors are actually about to proceed to
select another member on the assumption
that the seat for their borough is vacant,
aad the name of gentleman who distln-
guished himself by able and vigorous ser
vices in connection with the return of Mr.. |
is mentioned prominently as
that of the coming man. Another rumor, |
to what would be, for the present,
a more practical course, ascribes to the
signatories to the requisition an intention
of petitioning Parliament against receiving
The O'Donog hue's votes or permitting him
to speak in the House of Commons, on the
that he is no longer entitled to
speak on behalf of any Irish constituency,
and has been deprived of his trust by the
action of his former constituents. Such a
would at least have the effect
Of again impressing on the minds of the
English pile the valuable lesson of the
Tralee requisition.
