A Monster Irish Demonstration at
Cork.
PARNELL DECLARES THE DOOM OF
LANDLORDISM.

DUBLIN, Oct. 1.-The Parnell demonstra.
ton at Cork on Sunday was the largest ever
seen in that section of Ireland since the day OF
Daniel O'Connell. Mr.. Parnell left the train
at Barney, six miles from Cork. He was ac-
companied thence by large escort of tenant
farmers on horseback An address of we'll
como was presented, and an enormous process
sion, with bands and banners, proceeded to
cork. At Wellington bridge, Mr.. Parnell was
met by the Mayor and corporation, who pre-
sented him with an address. A copy of
poem written by Miss Fanny. Parnell was pre-
sented by the Typographical Society. Bou-
quets were showered on the party, including
one from the daughters of the farmers of
Cork. The ladies' figured largely in the pro-
cesson to the park, where speeches were de-
!ivered When the proceedings commenced
in the park over $4,000 persons were present
The city was "a mass of flags and bunting, and
the ships in the harbor and river were flying
all colors.
During the formation of the procession at
Barney body Of Fenians armed with revolt
vers, compelled two members of the Land
League, Cronin and O'Brien, to leave the car
riage, and kept them in custody till the pro-
ceedings were over. They intended to arrest
the President of the League, but as he was in
Mr. Parnells carriage they could not get at
him. O'Brien and Cronin attempted to enter
five different carriages, but were violently
elected by Fenians, who leveled revolvers at
the obnoxious Leaeuers, with cries of "We
have better men than you to sit beside Par
nell.'
1t appears that the pure revolutionists of
Cork are willing to accede measure of toler-
alton to Parnell in recognition of his services
during the late distress, but are not prepared
to extend simil ar favor to his followers, who
repudiate recourse to arms for the redress of
grievances. Mr.. Parnell, in his speech de-
clared that landlordsm, which was created
for maintaining English rule in Ireland, and
for the interests of the few against the many,
must fall, and voices called out, ''As Lord
Mountmorr es fell"
LONDON, Oct 4.--The Times says: Wherever
Parnell and his fellow agitatQrs go they leave
the country in a flame behind them. Deeds
OF lawless violence are done which they have
not suggested in express terms, but which are
in full accordance with the spirit, though not
with the letter, of their harangues, and which
they scarcely ever pretend to disapprove after
wards. The land league has extended its
organization to Great Britain and branches
have been and are being formed in several
large towns. Meetings will be held in the
winter throughout the country to extend the
principles of the league.
