Mr.. Parnelps Manifesto to the Irish Voters
Residing in England.
LONDON, Nov. 2l.-Mr. Parnell has issued a
manifesto to the electors of Great Britain and
Ireland, signed by Mr.. T. P. OConner. Mr. Just
in Mccarthy and Messrs. Sexton, Healy, Red
mond, O'Kelly, and Biggar, members of Pa-la-
ment, saying:
'Ihe Liberals are appealing to the electors for
support under false pretenses. The Liberals
have hagrantly violated solemn pledges made to
Ireland. which should be denounced The coer-
cion practices resorted to under their regime were
the most brutal of coercion measures Jures
were packed In an unprecedented number of cases
with shameessness. and innocent men were hung
OF sent to a living death of penal servitude.
twelve hundred persons were imprisoned with
out trial, and ladies were convicted under an
obsolete act which was directed against the de-
graded OF the sex. The press and public mees-
lngs We're suppressed, as if Ireland were Poland.
ana the administration in England were the
Russian autocracy."
The manifesto says the representatives of Lib
eralism in Ireland have been men like Mr.. For
ster and Earl Spencer, who have left more hate
full memories in Ireland than any other states
men during the past century. If the long-de-
layed triumph had not expelled the Liberals Earl
Spencer would still be at Dublin Castle, and
coercion would be triumphant In Ireland, land.
lords. instead of making reasonable abatements
in rents which the depression in agriculture de.
manded and which every landlord
in England and Scotland conceded,
would be evicting their tenants by whole
sale. with Earl Spencer encouraging them,
and the police, and soldery, and the coercion
magistracy would have filed the jais IN assist
ing them. Under the name of free schools the
Liberals are making an insidious attempt to
crush religious education and establish state of
tyranny and intolerance to fetter the conscience.
The reform of the code of procedure Of the
House of Commons, as set forth by the Liberals,
is a new gag for the application to all opponents
of radicalism in the Commons and des-
potic methods of mean machinery. The
Birmingham caucus made a specious demand
for a majority against the Irish party. This
would mean the power to crush the anti Rad
icals in Parliament. First, they would propose
for Ireland some scheme which would be doomed
to failure because it would not be suitable to the
wants of the people. and finally they would force
down halting measure of self-government by
the same methods of wholesale Imprisonment
by which durability was bought for the imprac-
tcable land act of 1881. Therefore we feel
bound to advise that no confidence be placed in the
Liberal or Radical party and, as far as possible,
falling into the hands of a party SO
perhdious, treacherous and incompetent.
The Irish Nationalists should not vote for
Liberal or Radical, except in some few cases, in
which courageous fealty to the Irish cause in
the last Parliament has given guarantee that the
candidate did not belong to the servile cowardly
and unprncipled herd who would break every
pledge and violate every principle in obedience
to the call OF the whip or a mandate of eau
Gus. We will communicate to the branches Of
the Nationaiists society their names
