ParneIIs Election NEeth0ds-Great Ex- cftenaent and Uncertainty.
 DUBLIN, April 5.-When this city gets ex- cited, which event is not frequent, 1t is apt to be stirred up from the very depths, and that is now the state of feeling the elections pro- gress throughout the country. No similar ex- citement has attended any general election for many years. Since his return home the vio- lence of Parnells utterances have been re- ceived with no small surprise by the Liberals and the moderate Home Rulers Ia several
 cases the latter, who are standing for seats re- garded as safe. if things ara left to take their natural course, are resisting ParnelPs orders to make room for candidates of his own dictation, and it is believed the resulting disaffection will open fair prospect of Conservative suc- cess in many places. Mir. N. D. Murphy, Liberal, whom Parnen busted from his candi- dacy for Cork city, in order that he might himself stand for that constituency, has ten dered the olive branch to Parnell, saying he had no desire to imperil the general Liberal success by nursing personal grievance. But Parnell contemptuously rejected Murphy's overtures of peace and assailed him in very bitter and vituperative language. Among others he had applied to Murphy was the term of ''deathbed repentant," and said he pro posed to become a genuine Home Ruler only when there wes no other course open to him. He did it in the hope of being allowed to rep resent Cork on any basis which Parnell might dictate. It is felt that the latters omission to rebuke MT. Biggar's reference to Hartmann l in his speech ct the banquet in honor of the agitator's return to Ireland, and thus permit ting the assumption that he was not opposed to assassination if Parliament refused to sanc- ton all schemes of the advanced section of the Irish party, is doing much injury in the eyes of the thousands of intelligent vo- ters who would in general way favor the Home Rulers, and it is believed Parnen feels that his influence is imperilled by the success of the Liberals The Home Rule League holds excited sessions daily to deal with the elections, and in several bor- oughs there is great confusion of parties. It was estimated before PsrneIs return that on the balance of losses and gains the Conssrva- tives were likely to have six or seven votes less in Ireland than in the late Parliament, but the whole situation is now changed and the result is in greater doubt than ever.
 At the electors meeting at Cork Parnell denounced MT. Shaw, late leader in the House of the moderate Home Rulers and one of the Home Rule candidates for Cork county, al leging that if elected Shaw would betray the cause of home rule. Parnell accused him of submitting to the manipulation of Conserva- tives during the whole of the last session of Parliament. The crowd enthusiastically cheered his strictures on Shaw, whereupon Parnen nominated Mir. Kettle, of the Land
 League, against Shaw, and Colonel Colthurst, also Home Rule candidate, for Cork county. MT. O'Olery was mobbed at Wexford to-day l and the mob attempted to throw him into the l river, but the police rescued him. Mir. Guin- ness has been rejected by the voters of this city and Liberal elected in his place. Mayor O'Gorman has been rejected at Waterford.
