His motion was drowned by cries of
"Hynes. Hynes; a speech from
Hynes." With his usual magnetic
influence he Gained the vast multi
tude, put his motion again-which was
carried with three rOasing cheers for
Parnell, Dillon, Murdoc, Governor
Collum, General Black, ct al. Then
the sea of people eddied out
and to their homes. Thus
happily endedthe grandest demonstra-
ton ever assembled in this city. AT
least 10000 people could not get into
the hall. Such a compact mass of
human beings | never witnessed in one
gathering. The hall was so suffocat-
ingly thronged hat it was believed
the galleries would give way and hun
dreds be killed. Fortunately but few
accidents occurred, and none Of these
we're serious. Part of the stand on
which were seated the vice presidents,
gave way, upsetting the dignity of
countless serene gentlemen of note,
Criminal Judge Moran being among
the number. But they had only a few
feet to fall. However, a great deal of
anxiety was felt througout the evening
by those who we're cognizant of the
great danger of the galleries giving
way. Cr,ak, crack, crash, was the
order of the night. The crush and
jam was terrible after the multitude
broke the barriers protecting the
reserved seats" and poured, like
a volcano, ali over the hall.
This the police we're unable
to stop. Remember this was not the
work of a mob, but of good and true
citizens, anxious to see and hear the
great ~agitatoFs. Quite a number of
ladies tainted, and could not be car

be resuscitated where they Tell. Now,
for a few remarks as to the gentleman
from afar off. Mr.. Parnell. member
of the British parliament, is of 1.-THE

modest, but commanding; age about
forty. AS an orator his elocution is
far below his logic; his style is CON
else. calm and incisive as a keen
blade, his language is good, and his
enunciation taultless. In every respect
be is impressive, carrying his audi
we're with him from beginning to close
of his discourse. With such a hold
champion his cause must succeed.
Ireland must and will govern Ireland.
Mr.. John Dillon is in such poor
health it is next to impossible to de-
scribe him physically. He is tail, thin,
dark complexion, hair and eyes, fea-
lures regular, head well propOrtloued,
expression of face aggressive when ex-
cited: forehead full, but not as posi-
tive as that of Parnell. He is no
spread eagle orator, but logical inargu-
ment, and seems sincerely devoted to
the cause OF Ireland. His age is about
that Of Parnell, say forty. Mr.. Muir
dock is the senior of his compatriots.
His physical proportions are more
extensive as to avoirdupois. He is
fair of complexion, eyes gray-blue,
hair light brown. nose prominent,
lips positive, face full, expression ag-
gressive, hight about FIVE feet nine
inches, or about one and a half inches
lower than his fellow patriot. His
oratory is of the sledge- hammar, posi-
tive style, logical in all points. Like
most editors or writers who can talk
his language flows smoothly. He is a
staunch friend Of freedom and asks
for Scotland what Parnell and Dillon
ask for Ireland. May they all never
tire in their good work until success
crowns their efforts. Yesterday the
distinguished gentlemen were formally
rendered the freedom Of the city by
the city council through Mayor Har.

A collation. was partaken of at the
mansion of Mr.. Hoyne. Then the IL
lustrious guests were escorted to the
Milwaukee railroad depot, where they
parted from their friends with many
regrets. Thus ended an occasion that
will never be forgotten in Chicago.
May its fruits be more than beneficial
to Ireland. NAYR.
