A LETTER FROM MICHAEL DAvITT.

LONDON, May 1l-Michael Davitt has written
letter to The Standard, dated May 10, on
the subject of the assaSsnaions After
expressing admiration of the temper of The
Standards language since the terrible murders
he says: Il would feel that | was neglect
ing my duty if l permitted your remarks to
pass unanswered. For the opinion ycu express of
the sincerity of my condemnation of the murders
and for your belief that Mr. Parnell, Mr.. Dillon
and myself are guiltlcss of alliance with
the assassns, / am thankful" In answer
to The Standards request to come forward and
make clean breast of information that would
throw light on the murders, MI Davitt recalls the
fact that lie out of Portland Prison Mt O'Clock
on Saturday afternoon, after having been confined
in solitude for fifteen months without seeing
newspaper n letter that did not pass through the
hands of the Governor of the prison. He rebuts the
implication that h. and other Leaguers must pos
sess information that would enable the authorities
to track the as.assins. He declares that Messrs
Parnell and Dillon cannot lend any more assistance
in bringing the assassns to justice than that gwen
in their manifesto He agrees that pilgrimage
ought to be made through Ireland now 10 dencunce
assassination untilthese hdeous crimes are exor-
csed from the land.
He recalls the fact that from the first initiation of
the League he warned the Irish people against out
RACES as the greatest danger to the movement. He
says that when he delivered speeches in the United
States, from New-YOrk to San Francisco, he always
denounced violence and he refers to reports of his
addresses published by the Irish-Amerlcan press
and made also by the Government shorthand
writers for verification of his statement. He con-
tinues: Whoever is responsible for my arrest. let
him come forward and declare on what grounds
was deprived of liberty, or lie under
the mputation of having removed me
because of my stand against the, policy
of conniving at murder and outrage. Had been
permitted TO continue my crusade against Outrages
and to level all the influence of the Land League
against murder and the mutilatlon of cattle, l
could have prevented numbers of crimes which
stain the name of Ireland. and might have
averted the horrible deed of Saturday last"
Mr. Davitt refers Mr. Forster to the speech he
Dayitt made before his arrest, in which he pre-
dicted the accumulation of crime that would result
from the policy Mr. Forster was pursuing, and held
him responsible before God
