CHICAGO. Dec. IL.
A mass meeting was held on the West Side
Monday night, presided over by the mayor of
the city, at which the following preamble and
resolutions were passed:
Whereas, Patrick O'Donnell, an ex-soldier
and citizen of the United States, is under sem
tence of death for killing James Carey, and
for the infamous and violent character of
Carey, we believe him TO have been the az
gressor. which fact could have been shown
but for the English law, which closed O'Don-
nelfs mouth, and as there 10 q widespread
feeling in this country that political consider
atoms Influenced the court and jury,
Resolved, That we ask the government of
the United States to take such action as it
may properly do with energy and earnestness
to secure from the English government such
iHterposition as will prevent the execution of
the sentence which we believe to be unjust,
and that we ask the senators and representa-
tives of Congress to use their best endeavors
to secure this action.

Banquet Given In His Honor-A Check
for $4,000 Pounds Given Hin rs
n National Tribute.

DUBLIN. Dec. ii.
A BANQUET 10 to be given tonight in the ro-
tunda. NJ which will be presented to Parneli
national tribute. 1t will be attended by per-
sons from all parts of Ireland and Great Brit
ain. as we'll as from more distant places.
Five hundred and eighty tickets have been
sold Great precautions he re been taken 70
prevent any but m abers Of the natlonai
league entering the rotunda during the cere-
monies. Lord Mayor Dawson will preside.
The banquet rooms were crowded. many
members of Parliament being present. Lord
Mayor Dawson read an address to Mr.. Far
nell Mr.. Parnell, on rising to reply, was
cheered for several minutes. In his speech
he said: Earl Spencer came to Ireland as
sort of an inferior bottle holder to Forster
We are not surprised that Earl Spencer
should do his best to initiate the biggest coer-
zionist who ever came to Ireland.
Mr.. Trevellyu's greatest ambition is to pre-
vent everybody from doing what he has ie-
gal right to do. Instances are the imprison-
ment of Harrington, seizure of the Kerry
Sentinel and the arrest of its editor and the
suppression of meetings in the north. Inc
English are always willing to employ force
to the fullest extent against the mass of the
people. 1t certainly rests with the Irishmen
to determine at the next general election
whether liberal or Terry government shall
rule England.
At the close of Parnells speech he was
greeted with great cheering.
Mr.. Dawson presented Parnell with
check for f3S, 900 as q national tribute. The
address accompanying the tribute was pre-
scented to Parnell enclosed in an imperial
quarto album, with richly carved bog oak
covers, studded in silver wrought bog oak
tracery and other appropriate ornoments.

POLITICAL.
BOSTON CITY ELECTION.
Martin, Republican, Elected Mayor by
I457 Plurality-COuncil Evenly
Divided.

BOSTON, Dec. III.
The vote of the city for mayor complete is
as follows:
Martin, 27,446
OBrien, 25,9S9
Martins plurality, 1,457
The plurality for Palmer, democrat, last
year was 2l3S. Although an unusual large
vote was polled today everything passed of
quietly and no disturbance is reported. The
defeat of O'Brien is a surprise to his friends,
who were confident of his election and said
this result was effected in some degree by
the demonstration among certain Butler
democrats to punish Mr.. O'Brien for alleged
treachery of some members of the demo-
ocrtic city committee in the recent State
election, whereby Buffers plurality in this
city was greatly reduced from 1882. The
result, however, may be interpreted as a re-
buke As to the partisan methods and practices
of the government now in power and of
the course in connection with junketing.
The votes for aldermen, councilmen and
street commissioner are not all counted. but
it is evident that the citizens ticket of alder
men with one exception is elected, ard that
the council will be evenly divided, Sc repub-
licans and SO democrats. Isaac S. Burrill is
reelected street commissioner and the old
school board reelected.
