thar if they insist upon a settlement by an
English Parliament. Applause. Let
them place trust in the people, and they will
[Applause.l This winter l fear evictions
in number, and that our pool will be
thrown into the road. But thanks to
friends abroad, we expect to be able TO pre-
vent great suffering. Once before we put
/ up sheds for them, and hope to do it again.
1t will be our duty
l tt SUCCoR H EyICTED,
And also to see to it that no one else occu-
pies the land from which they are ex-
| PEELED [applause] and we will DEFY Lord
Churchill to pursue the policy of extermi-
nation. [Applause.l We will try to keep
our people within reason and law, and en-
| courage them to suffer much and be pa
tient. But if Churchill and Beach are re-
solved on determination, we will stand by
our hearth-stones. Applause Gladstone's
defeat does not mean the death of home
rule. On the contrary, its prospects are
brighter than ever. The result of the elec-
ton was eminently satisfactory. 1t was a
great moral victory. The change in the
last few years in public sentiment is as
founding. 1 addressed recently audiences
from the south of England to Aberdeen in
Scotland. and everywhere there were Eng
lishmen to come over to us-eyen many OF
the aristocracy. In Scotland the employers
and landlords are with us for
HOME RULE.
Scotland and Wales now demand it. and
they are fighting the battle for Ireland. We
do no harm to England in demanding the
restoration of local authority, OF self-rule.
Scotland sent three to one of home rulers
to Parliament, and Wales five to one, while
England returned 129 to the Commons to
support Mr.. Gladstone. [Great applause
So we believe that in the mex appeal by
the grand old man, or by his successor,
success will be attained. [Applause.l The
secret of Mr.. Parnell's policy is that it is
not %reVengeful, nor vituperative. 1t is
not n of force or vengeance.
God knows we have had cause
enough to make US %revengeful, but we
choose the policy of patience that there
may come to us independence. Applause.
The English are beginning to recognize
this, and so give US each day more of sup
port. Any one Irish member can obstruct
local legislation in the English Parliament,
and stop the wheels of necessary law
making procedure. The English people
are firing OF this, and will wear out under
it in time and yield to our pleadings, and
to Scottish and Welsh demands, and
SO home rule will come. Applause. II
will come, l say, to Ireland, and you might
as well attempt to dam up Niagara with a
pitchfork as to hope TO prevent it. Zap
| plause.l We ask nothing to which we are
not entitled. What we ask will injure
no man in all England in person or goods
On the contrary, our demand, acceded to,
will be beneficial to Englishmen. Some OF
you may doubt, and probably have been
taught, that we have not the elements of q
nation in us. But we have. We know we
have in country, in race, in institutions,
convictions and hopes. Your Federal sys-
| tenn, to us, seems the strongest bond on
earth. Applause. 1t makes a mighty
Government. Here is no favored religion,
nc class, 40 caste. 1t is a Government OF
the people, by the people, for the people.
That we, too, desire. If you sympathize
with Bulgaria, how much more shall you
feel for Ireland? [Applause.] Your fore
fathers in their terrible struggle for home
rule [applausel, appealed to the Irish Par
Lament for recognition and sympathy, and
from the Parliament of Grattan it came
prompt and sincere. So, too, home rule,
| with your sympathy, shall come to the
Irish people; they will rise up out of their
tatters and become self-governing, peace
full, prosperous. [Applause.l
Mayor Brown thanked the audience and
then dismissed it, the parquet occupants
rising and giving Mr.. Davitt three rousing
cheers.
RENAD
About an hour after the lecture Mr..
Davitt was serenaded at the Capital Hotel
by the Hussar Band, which rendered sew
eral airs admirably. In response to loud
calls he aDDeared and was introduced nv
Colonel Tobin. He spoke very briefly,
saying that he understood be was indebted
for the compliment to the Robert Emmett
Club. He was happy to learn that in the
| Capital City of California the name of Ire
lands most popular son was honored by
the organization of an association bearing
it. In Ireland, at present, the people
could not do much, but he had confidence
that the day would yet come when Emmet's
| dying hopes for his native country would
be fully realized. With thanks to the
| club, the public and the band, he closed
his remarks. He leaves this morning foI
Oakland.
