ALLEGATIONS OF THE DUBLIN IRISH TIMEs-rHE
STORY RlDICULED By LAND LEAGUE LEADERS
~ THIS CITY.
dispatch from Dublin Published 10 The Graphic
yesterday stated that that city greatly excited
over the publication of letter in The Dublin Irish
lines charging the Parnell Parliamentary party
with misappropriatlns e93 900 OF the Land League
money and then attempting 70 nu5n the matter up
by dissolving the Land League, without accounting
for its funds. The dispatch concluded with the
statement by The Dublin Daily Express that the
failure OF the accused persons to make any denial
was poisoning the minds OF the people against them,
and that the downfall of the Parnel party was III
evitable.
NJ. ID. Gallagher the president of the ParnelI
Land League o. this cty,was shown the article by
TRIBUNE reporter and asked for his opinion Of the
charges. 1T Is perfectly absurd" he SAID. " Had
it been in in the columns OF The Ireemaa's journal
or some newspaper friendly to u, then | should
have been little frightened. But The Irish Times
and The Express simply the rankest kind of Tory
papers. and are constantly publishing slanders and
falsehOOdS such this against the Land
League and Its leaders The falslty
and magnity of this charge can be better under
stood when you know that the trustees OF that
Land League fund can be held accountable by law
for the pcryersOn of a single dollar OF the money
from its legitimate uses. Patrick Egln, the treas
urer. IS OF the largest steam BAKERS ana capital
landholder; Mr.. Blggar Is retired Bel
fast merchant and u millionaire and only
Michael Daytt. of the four trustees Is poor man.
1t is base lie from beginning to end am MADE Dy
those Tory organs TO gull the IRISH people Ihey
have taken theII cue from the acton OF the irish
skirmi shers on this side of the water"
