PARNELLITE PATRIOTS.
PROMINENT IRISH AMERICANS
TO STUMP IRELAND.

Names OF Some of the Gentlemen Select
ed-The First Nationalist Nominating
Convention OF the Campaign Held at
Wicklow and Addressed by the Great
Home Rule Leader.
DUBLIN, Oct. 5.-The first Nationalist
county convention, for nominating candi-
dates for seats in Parliament, was held
at Wicklow to-day. MIR. Parnell, on the
opening of the convention, delivered an
address, in which he urged unity OF ac-
ton and self-sacritice of political amb-
tions in selecting the candidates of the
party. He referred to Wicklow's splen-
did harbor which, he said, testified that
lrishmen were capable of better work
when not fettered by the English govern
ment. The remarks of the Home Rule
leader created great enthusiasm.
The convention unanimously selected
William Joseph Corbet, present member
OF Parliament for Wicklow, and Garrett
Byrnes. Mr.. Parnell, speaking at an open
air meeting after the convention, said that
home rule would stop all disloyal pro-
ceedlngs and Outrages and thirst for
dlsunion. The Irish, he claimed, would
then become like their countrymen In the
British Colonies, loyal citizens and props
to the constitution.
THE BoYCorTING OF MRS. o'CONNELL.
Notice was posted yesterday at the
gates OF Mrs. Morgan 0'COnnelPs home
stead Mt lIildysart ordering members of
the league to shun her at mass and not
to sit in the same gallery with her. Mrs.
OConnell attended mass and was the sole
occupant Of the gallery.
NO RENT PAID.
Only three of Mrs. O'COnnelPs 200 ten
ants have paid their rents. A man who
Is professed 'invincible" has been visit
ing Mrs. O'COnnelPs tenants at Ballybean
and demanding money with which to
fight Mrs. OConnell. The man is being
tracked by police.
PARNELL WARNS ENGLAND.
MIR. Parnell said that the Irish parlia-
ment would be compelled to protect
native industries against England in
order to obtain fair start, but protection
would not last long, probably not longer
than two or three years. He con-
cluded by warning England that
unless home rule were granted Irishmen
would sooner or later have revenge and
would succeed in destroying the British
empire. Cheers.
The day was a holiday in Wicklow.
The town was decorated and brass bands
paraded the streets.

nOuncing bOycotting, but admits that

as much Lord ChurchilPs as Mr.. Par
nelPs."
