CoRE, O,t. lS.-At the Cork convention
to-day, Parnell arrived from Kildare
shortly after midday, accompanied by
o'Briep, Dillon and o'KeIIey. He was
received by the Mayor and crowd of
citizens. On Iii way through the city he
was the object OF an enthusiastic ovation.
Some anxiety as to. tho result Of the con-
vention was felt by the Nationalist lead
ers, and there was rumor that the can"
didates would have scramble for the
seven seats. Parnel held preliminary
conference at the Victoria Hotel with the
leading representatives, when the long list
| CT candidates was discussed. It was de-
cided to leave the choice 10 the free &C.
ton Of the convention, two outside men
being recommended by the Parliamentary
party, The names Of I.eany and Or.
Kenny, PGrnell's iellow.prisoner in Kill
mainham jail, were suggested on behalf
Of the Parliamentary party. Both were
warmly received by the conference.
The convention was held in the assem-
bly, rooms. About eight hundred Jay and
clerical delegates were present. On Par
nells entrance the delegates rose and gave
him hearty welcome. The business be-
gan with short speech from P4rnell urg-
ing the importance Of unity and the selEC-
ton OF the best men without regard to
local feeling. Tho delegates listened with
evidentEympathy. Nominationsthon bs-
gan, each candidate present signing
pledge to vote and act With the Irish
party. Most OF the names were adopted
by acclam8tion. Towards the close there
seemed TO be prospect OF q struggle be-
tween the loyal men for the remaining
seats, but the evident sense OF the Assem-.
blage was so strongly manifested in each
case that the whole seven nominations
were made without single division.
Msssrs. Leaney, kenney, Lane, Hooper,
Tanner, Flynn and GiihooIy we're tho
candidates selected. Then Dillon and
O'Bien made short addresses, congratu-
latiug Cork. This result seems to secure
the unity OF the Irish Parliamentary party,
as owing to the sizs Of the county and the
number OF aspirsnts for the Parliamentary
party, 1t was feared that divisions in tho
Nationalist ranks would reveal them
selves. Tipperary ia still ahead, but the
combined influence oil Croke and Pa,nell
will probably suffice to prevent reCrudes-
cence OF the revolt which created SO much
excitement in the beginning OF the year.
Parnell and his friends arc jubiIant over
the result Of the days proceedings. The
men selected are all regarded by the
Nationalists as strong additions to the
fighting strength OF the Parliamentary
party, and it is felt that the moral effect
OF the unanimous selections in Cork will
be seen in all the coming conventions
through Ireland. st-1
The event was celebrated in the even
ing by grand parade OF the city bands
and torchlight demonstration, In which
some twenty thousand men took part.
Parnel briefly addressed the crowd [sub-
stantially repeating his Kildare speech
from the windows Of his hotel amid y
wild ecene Of popular enthusiasm. Cork
Is par excellence the city OF Irish demon
s.rations, in which the people boil with
excitement in way witnessed rarely in
other parts OF Ireland After the impro.
vised NEE ing, Parnell, accompanied by
several Irish members, set out for Dublin.
An immense crowd accompanied him to
the railroad station, with bands playing
and tlaring torches. The surging crowd
filed the streets from side to side, and
swept through the city like a huge wave,
presenting an imposing sight. At the
station every point Of advantage was occu-
pied by mass OF humanity, cheering the
Irish leaders. Parhell is 10 attend the
Dublin Convention.
