UHO poNeI VI inc greatest empire VI the
world. Judged from this point of view
are the possibilities of our movement
When we compare the position OF the
lrlsh cause ten years ago with that which
1t koccupies to-day, the landlord garrl-
son OF ireland is so battered and broken
that England refuses to buy
them out More manliness and
determination are shown by Irish tenants
IN protecting their interests. Dublin
Castle has become so politically impover-
lshed that no English party s so poor as
to do it reverence. In word, the insti-
tutlon which ruled Ireland ten years ago
IS hopslessly doomed to-day. The greatest
or England's statesmen-the Prime Min
lister who imprisoned 1000 Land Lea2uers
in lS8l-has brought forward measure
in 1856, which, if carried, would
have made some of these "ex-suspects"
practical rulers of Ireland. Not only
this, but majority of the English Liberal
party with million and half British
voters have indOrsed this remarkable
change of policy on the part OF Mr.. Glad
stone. The entire fabric of human liberty
stands upon the foundation of individual
right and national freedOm-the national
right OF man TO obtain access to and COM
mand OF the resources Of the land
of the country for the sustenance OF
himself and family and the right of COM
80 as best to promote the moral and intel
lectual wellbeing of it's people.
HUMAN DUTY.
To repel these rights is an insufferable
tyranny. To vindicate them is not only
human duty but divine Injunction.
While the sword has Invariably been the
weapon by which subject races have as
serted the right to rule themselves. Ire
land has travelled thus far on the road to
national autonomy by methods eXclu-
siyely moral and pacific, though con-
tronted in all her endeavors by one OF the
greatest military and most INSCRIPTIONS
empires in the world. The leaders at home
are neither disheartened nor dismayed at
the reverse recently sustained, nor do
thew believe the methods employed
in this constitutional fight to be either
blunted or impaired while resolute hands
and cool heads are still to the front, de-
termlned to face again an enemy intoXt-
Gated with an unexpected and temporary
success.
THE TORY POLICY.
The policy which the Tories will try to
carry out while in power can be easily
inferred from the tactics by which they
have succeeded in obtaining the power.
They Will continue TO play on the political
fears and religious prejudices Of the
English people. Speaking OF Belfast Mr..
Davitt said: The loyalty which has mani
feeted itself in the murder of Catholics,
policemen and English soldiers has hOr-
rified most Englishmen. who were told
how peaceable and law-abiding a class
that was which was opposed to home rule.
The civilized world has also passed its
verdict upon the rufianism which has
reduced prosperous Irish city to state
of terror and disorder.
After speaking at length upon the pres
ent crisis in Great Britain, Mr.. Davitt
said: 81 will ask you, in conclusion, to
sustain the movement in Ireland as you
have upheld it before in the Land League
fight, and subsequently in the Parliament
ary struggle. The fruits of past assist
ance are manifest in the changed
tone of the press of this great
commonwealth and in that
of every other civilized land upon the
Irish question. You have generally held
our hands in the fierce struggle which mas
won for your birth land the sympathy OF
the world in it's fight for freedom, and
you are repaid in the consciousness that
without your aid our success would not
have been so signal.
PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
GAS citizens OF this mighty republic
you have good reason to be proud OF the
friendly feeling which has recently been
manifested by the public sentiment of
the country towards the efforts OF Mr..
Gladstone in behalf OF home rule. Try to
intensity and perpetuate that feeling. Its
existence constitutes a mighty factor
in our favor on the other side. While
there is this practical unity of American
feeling in our behalf there can be no eX-
cuse for or eXtenuation of dlsunlty among
ourselves either at home or abroad,
We will best deserve and most
surely maintain the good opinion
of the American nation by
preserving such unity ofpurpOse and har-
mOny of action in our movement as will
! command universal respect for the cause
which it upholds, and guarantee success
which we should aspire TO deserve, as
much for the means and methods which
we employ to achieve il as for the object
! which the public sentiment of every civil
lied land declares to be the inallenable
right and legitimate aspirations of our
race"
THE EVENING MEETING.
In the evening fully 10000 people were
In Ogden Grove. Alexander Sullivan
presided and made a short speech. Mr..
Davitt again spoke, but briefly. In the
course OF his speech he said the Irish peO-
ple could fight their battles without an
appeal to weapons. The destiny OF
Ireland could be worked out with
| out the aid OF dynamite. But
/ be would not pass judgment on any irish
| man. However, as those in the old coun-
try aad to stand the consequences. they
reserved the right TO suggest the means
of Ireland's salvation. But they would
not rest until they had an Irish Parlia-
ment in College Green.
Speeches were also made by Patrick
| Egau and others.
Mr.. Finerty then made a motion that
vote of thanks be rendered Mr.. Davitt,
which was carried amidst cheers.
