Mr.. MTTCHEL's REPLY.
In reply MIR. Mitchell said:
Men of Tipperary,-It is true that l have
come over three thousand miles ofthis globes
surface to find the people of Tipperary and
to get by them to Parliament. 1t was
nothing 10 come such distance and receive
such an honor as have received this day,
and especially such high distinction as re-
ceiyed Yesterday. l would have come from
tue North Pole. II makes it the more i'm
pressive upon me that am not Tipperary
man. have the honor TO be Derry man,
but suppose Derry is as much Irish as Tip
perary at any rate, am an lrishmap. |
think you seem TO acknowledge it. Allu-
sions bayc been made to the steps the Gov
ernment are about to takc-that is, the
British Government over in London. There
is a man over there in London. He writes
novels, and he is ofopinion that be knows bet.
ter who Tipperary should elect than you do.
[Cries of "No"] That is what lie thinks.
Now, if Tipperary is to submit to the dicta-
ton OF this novel-writer, why the next
thing will be Cork, and then he
will 60 10 Limerick, and he will make them
select for their representative such man as
he approves of ("Ob.") Now, men Of Tip
perary, some years ago The British sovereign
elected me .as q fit subject to carry telon's
chain and to bear the penalties Of felony at
the annpodeS. (GroanS.) Now that | have
returned here you, people OF Tipperary,
have thought me the very person worthy of
being returned to Her Majesty's councils to
offer her Majesty's ministers and advisers
the best aid OF all my information and talent
10 help them to govern the three countries.
| (Laughtcrl / am now going to help the
English, the Scotch, and the Welsh to GOV
ern their country as well us to govern this.
| (Laughter.) 1t seems they cannot do without
US. You have had little experience Of
me; as yet you have only read of
me and heard OF me. As long rs have the
honor to represent you | will not sell YOU.
| will not trade upon you in any shape or
people of Tipperary have made to put ne
into the very proud position | held to-day,
these efforts and sacrifices I will not trade
upon. | will not be found haunting the
doors of ministers pressing them to get little
offices and little places for my constituents,
or any relations of my constituents. After
some further remarks in the same strain he
continued: | think there is q better class oil
representatives going over to London than
We have had. do not say, recollect, that
am eyer going over to London at all. l do
not promise to go TO London; but whether
l 90 to London or stay here at home think
Tipperary may be very sure l will never
traffic in the trust rcposed in me. [Cheers..
IN cLoNMEL.
The Clonmel (Tipperary) correspondent
of the London Standard. writing on the
night of Wednesday the 18th of February,
says: Mr.. Mitchell left Tipperary at 6 O'Clock
this evening, accompanied to the station by
q tremendous cOncourse OF people. At Ban.
sha the station was crowded, and the people
were equally enthusiastic. At Cahr the ex.
element was intense. Cheer followed cheer
for the "Prnce Of Patriots" as one of the
people termed him, and a sentiment that also
evoked hearty cheer was: "Nolhing but
separation.' All this paled before the
excitement at Clonme. Rank after rank OF
the young men of the town were drawn
up in order. Three bands and many
national banners were intersperSed
among them, and each man carrieda torch.
The procession passed through the principal
streets, and the street in front Of Hearn'S bo.
tel was packed with people, about ten thou.
sand being present. A Especial feature in the
demonstration was tremendous bonfire In
front of the bank, which burnt so tjercely as
almost to crack the windows of the bank
Tie proceedings commenced by an address
being presented to Mr.. Mitchell by Mr.. w.
J. King, on behalf of the Clonmel Mitchell
Committee.
DIR. Mitchell, speaking from the balcony,
said:
Hear me for few minutes. for l cannot
keep you longer this day. I have come

try, and cheertully, to thank you, people OF
Tipperary, for the highest honor ever con-
ferred upon man-tbat of being the unani-
nous choice of Tipperary. was very proud
to exert myself to come quickly into Tippe-
rary to see my constituents; for am men,
Der for Tipperary, LCheers.] If fall short

that ought to be expected from the repre-
sentative of such county, then dismiss ME !;

not have occasion to do it. / am not going
to disgrace you, nor to disgrace myself.
