immense audience. Mayor Prince presided

speeches were made by Wendell Phillips, Mr..
OsConnor and Dillon Egan. Mr.. Phillips said :
ssIt is the men who cannot be answered who
are imprisoned. If Gladstone could have an
swered Parnell he would have done SO, but he
could not and SO resorted to force. By impris-
oning Parnell he has raised him from the lead
ership of the Irish cause to be the head of a
great reform. There is not drop OF the lib
eral blood in Gladstone's veins. He thinks he
is going to subdue Ireland, but other men have
tried that job during the last 400 years. He
can cover the country with soldiers, but he will
not scare these forty States The 100000 of
IRISH in this country have not forgotten their
native lard. Civilization and humanity are on
the side Of Ireland"
