GRAND DEMONSTRATION IN WEXFORD.
The Wexford demonstration in support of
the Home Rule movement came off on Wednes-
day last, and was really magnificent affair Of
it's kind. There is no doubt about the political
opinions of that county, at any rste--it is a
Home Rule county to the backbone, as, indeed,
might have been expected by any reader of
the story of '9s. The priests and the people
were thoroughly represented at tho meeting
on Wednesday. Ten thousand persons were
assembled in the historic Bull Ring of Wex-
ford town, most of them tenant farmers of the
county, the men who won the great victories
for the national cause at the general election.
Their demeanor was quiet and orderly but
resolute aud enthusiastio-that of men, iu fact,
thoroughly fit for freedom and thoroughly de-
termined to achieve it. The four members for
Wexford-Sir George Bowyer on. P. for the
county,, the Chevalier O'Cleary on. p for the
county,, Mr.. Redmond IN. P. for Wexford b.
roughly, and Mr.. Dunbar (M, p. for New Ross)-
were all in attendance, and delivered very able
and satisfactory addresses. Mr.. John Martin,
NJ. p, and Mr.. A. NJ. Sullivan, Nj p represent
ed the Home Rule League by invitation, and
these two gentlemen also delivered addresses
and were received with great enthusiasm. In
the evening banquet took place, at which
four hundred representative men sat down and
at which the first toast was s'the Queen, Laws,
and Commons of Ireland." It is to be finally
remarked that the chief resolution at the pub
lie meeting declared the adhesion of the people
to the programme of the Home Rule League
n Mt of IF w.
tion that the country had rejected that pro-
gramme for his "Smple Repeal
RECONCILIATION IN LIMERICK
am glad to say that the rupture in the
national party in Limerick is at an end. On
Saturday last, at a meeting of the local Farm
ers' Club, it was intimated in behalf of the
extreme section that if the Club passed reso-
luton declaring that in fixing the County Home
Rule meeting to take place at Kilmallock,
it had no intention to insult the Natioualists,
the latter would cooperate in making it a sue
cess. The club passed the resolution and all
became friends once more. This 10 very graft
Tying. On Monday the first fruits Of this re- |
Cancellation were seen in the splendid recep- |
lion given to the members for the city-Mr
Butt and Mr. O'Sbaughnessy-by all classes.
In the early part of the day these gentlemen
Ind Mr. O'Snllivsn <M. P. for Limerick Coun.
~, attended the ceremony of turning the first
od of the new Peoples Park. In the evening
Mayor; and later still they appeared in the
heatre and gave an account of their steward
hip for the past session. Atthis meeting the
dayor presided, and some Catholic c1ergymen
we're present on the stage. Mr.. Butts and Mr..
Ntc1.
igorous pronouucements, I need not, how
yer, summarize them here. / shall only add
hat Mr., O'Shaughnessy, who, be it remember
d, is Catholic, declared in decided terms
hat Mr.. Gladstone, by his recent attack on /
atholicity, had lost forever the support of i
rish Catholics. The Wexford and Limerick
are likely to give tone % the
Tiers that are yet to take place throug hout !
le country.
