friends. Callan then demanded to
know the ground Of Parnelrs recent
charge against him in refusing to accept
him as the Nationalist candidate to sue
coed himself. O'Kelly, one of Par
nell's lieutenants, thereupon rose and
declared that the charge was that Callan
was drunk in the House of Commons.
during the session just closed, and that
for this reason Parnell deemed him I'M
worthy to represent the Nationalists in
the new Parliament, which promises to
be a most important one for Ireland.
Callan, in answer, admitted that the
charge was true and apologized for his
failing. He afterwards made an appeal
to the electors against what he called a
packed convention. An uproar fol-
lowed his last remarks and scene of
confusion followed, during which Callan
and his followers left the hall.
