irish National League of America Office of
the President and Secretary, Lincoln, Neb.,
Oct. 24.-To the Oflcers and Members of
Branches: Pursuant to a resolution of the
national committee of the league, passed at
meeting held in Chicago in August last, the
executive has been in communication with
Mr.. Parnell with a view to fixing
a date for our national conVen-
ton that would suit Mr.. Parnell's con-
venence and that of such other delegates
as may be sent over to represent the home
organization. We have now the pleasure to
inform you that the third annual convention
of the Irish National league of America,to be
held in Central Music hall, Chicago, on We'd
nesday, Jan. 30 and q, 1886, will be attended
by Mr.. Parnell and strong delegation OF his
colleagues. We earnestly trust that every
branch of the league will be fully represented
thereat. We are approaching most mo-
mentous crisis in the long struggle for
Ireland national right, and DO man or woman
Of Irish birth Or Irish blood, no true lover Of
liberty, who feels sympathy for oppressed
kindred or love for the dear old motherland,
should fail to lend helping hand to secure
that victory which seems now on the very eve
of accomplis hment. Our people at home
are manfully doing their part, despite every
kind of coercion and terrorism. Let us do
ours and show England that the bold and
manly, yet wise and prudent, policy of Mr..
Parnel commends the universal and hearty
approval and support of the Irish race at
home and abroad. All branches and socie-
ties affiliated with the league that have sub
scribed regular dues for the current
term or have contributed to the
parliamentary fund a sum equivalent
to the amount of dues shall be entitled to
representation and the basis of Representa-
| ton shall be as follows: One delegate for
every fifty members in good standing, pro-
viz nl hat m a fry ctpia
where the number of fifty members cannot
be easily reached, any number from twenty
five to fifty shall be entitled to one delegate.
AS the time is short let our action be prompt
and effective. Let US make this convention
a record of our race and message of fresh
hope, courage and material support to our
kindred in Ireland in their desperate struggle
against oppression.
