An Enthusiastic Welcome to the Irish
 Patriot.
 About twelve hundred persons assembled at Peck's Grand Opera House on Saturday evening to listen to the address of Michael Davitt, the Irish patriot. When Mir. Davitt appeared on the platform about s o'clock he was greeted by enthusiastic and long con- troduced the distinguished speaker, spoke in substance as follows
 Ladies and Gentlemen-We have assem- bled here tonight to welcome and listen to one whom we all love, and whom we all recognize as the father of the Land-League. Applause When he was here before he came from long term of imprisonment. This time he comes from another term ot Imprisonment, and when he comes again
 God grant he will be able to proclaim Irish liberty. There are no differences between
 Parnell and Davitt. Parnell would stand by
 Davitt, and Davitt by Parnell. He now had
 the pleasure of introducing Hon. Miohael
 Davitt.
 As Mr. Davitt arose and stepped to the
 front of the platform the audience cheered and cheered again, and three cheers were given for Parnell, three for Davitt, and three for the green flag As soon as quiet was restored, MT. Davitt said: I recollect that four years ago had the pleasure of address ing New Haven audience. I was charged then, as I am now, with inaugurating new departure. If I remember aright, sketched @ movement then that would unite all Irish l men, without reference to religion, and that ! has been successful There is one new de parture that I am in favor of now, and that ! is the speedy departure of landlords from Ireland. In that new departure Charles Stewart Parnell and can work hand in hand Applause
 The speaker said that so far as time would permit he would give birds eye view of the struggle in Ireland ''I am more anxious" he continued, ito get the kind feeling of the | American people than the monetary aid of I the Irish people ill America England fears more than anything else the sentiment of the ] American people. I am anxious in this, my third mission, to make the American people l familiar with this Land League movement I The Irish people in the last three or four ! years have shown such spirit that the whole power of the British government cannot
 crush it out. So long as the means resorted l to by the Land League are based on justice I l am certain we shall have the support of the ! American people.'
 In conclusion, Mir. Davitt said he would l not be surprised if in three or four years | there would be an eviction in the House of | Commons and the money changers be turn ed out of College Green. He appealed to
 Irish Americans to stand by them. If we | win, D he said, i've must have the support of the American Leagues " He said that be fore he leaves for Ireland he will meet the | executive committee appointed by the Chi l cago convention to discuss how best to con centrate the efforts of all. On his return
 there will be convention of the Land 1 League, if not in Ireland then in England and with such efforts that will be put forward l final blow will be struck for the liberty of Ireland.
 At the conclusion of MT. Davitt's remarks | Judge Birdsall. of Westport, was called out l and made brief address.
 Then three times three cheers were given l for Davitt, and the meeting adjourned at 10 o'clock. It was one of the most enthusiastic l meetings ever assembled in the Grand Opera House.
