know now ring; L know no clique" said the
speaker, land am here for united Ireland
He closed with a caution that the delegates
should have
ONLY ONE SENTIMENT
and that was to prepare to fight the common
enemy, and to engender no feuds among
themselves. 1--WE hate her." said he, "be-
cause she hated and despised us. When she
declares peace, then may we and not till
then will cease hating her, Continuing he

ton: I'VE can have, we will have no peace
until England ceases her deadly hostility TO

HON. JOIN f. FINERTY
arose in his seat, and his appearance was
the signal for tremendous cheering. He
said he only rose to read a cablegram adj
dressed to him. 1t read as follows:
DUBLIN, Aug. 19.-Finerty, Chicago Con-
vention, Chicago, 1ll.-Manhood Of Ireland is
with you, and trusts the convention will by
resolution endorse Ireland's right and resolve
TO be free.
CHARLES MCCARTHY TELLING, Dublin.
Mr.. Davitt rose and said he desired to
say word in explanation. Mr.. Davitt did
not question the right of anyone in Ireland
to send dispatch from Ireland, but said
Mr. Telling had no right to speak for the
people of Ireland. He was not member
of the league, and say that Mr.. Redmond,
Mr.. Deasy and myself have the right to
speak for the people of Ireland. Loud
applause. After a scene of iriotous con-
fusion Mr.. Finerty again gained the floor
and said
81 am surprised to see the father of the
land league rise in his place and question
that telegram Here another scene of con-
fusion ensued. In the midst of the uproar
we have believed for twenty years and shall
hold to my view for the freedom of Ireland
tosthe day of my death. If Mr.. Telling is not
the league, if he holds to that sentiment he
certainly entitled to belong to it,
AS another scene of confusion ensued,
Mr.. Finerty declined to say anything fur
Their and ceased speaking. He was
cheered by the main body of the conven-
ton.
Mr.. Davitt arose and said he could not
dispute the right of Mr.. Finerty to desire
the freedom of Ireland, and would not do
so. This acted as a quieter, and the uproar
subsidized. The committee On credentials
reported the list of regular delegates The
committee on resolutions reported through
Rev. Mr.. Belts as follows:

the people of Ireland to manage their own

asm. In conclusion, he said:
