,paslin Nation. Ne.. IL,

Three more Home Rnle members of Par
liamert have fsced their constituents in
public meeting. Oa Wednesday week Mr..
Mitchell Henri and Captain Nolan IN Bal
licssloe, LORD Francis Conyngbam in En
uis, delivered addresses on the poi icai
situation, aud received in return heart?
and unanimous votes of confidence. ln
each place the attendance was large aud
represe NATIVE, ao6 this was especially tie
case in EUuis, where there assembled not
only tie people in their thousands, bat the
local clergy, and even several mem SeTe OF
the local gentry. We cannot here summa
rise the speeches, but those of Mr.. Mitchell
Henry, Captain Nolan, Lord Francis Con-
yngham, the Rev. Father Fitzgerald, and
the Rev. Mr.. Vaughan, coupled with the
enthusiastic applause which they evoked,
| will cheer the hearts of the laborers in the
national cause throughout the entire coun-
try. The two meetings, in shoIt, were two
| very emphatic demonstrations in support
of the Home Rule movement.
We were led to expect some significant
! Home Rule successes at the municipal eitc-
tons in England, but the Victories aetuslly
won have surpassed our most sspguiue an
ticipations. In Liverpool, Leeds, War

after stiff contests, into their respective
corporations, pledged ts Home Rae aUd
