On behalf of the generous American peo

sirs, that from this convention there shal
emit but one sentiment, but oete action
for her chosen representatives, y follow il
your wake not to diract, not tD dictate,
not to suggest for the Irish National League
to cripple you and Charles Stewart Par

the last two years, Loud applause. ]
My friends, you have heard me in your name
make promise, in the name Oh the land
that gave most Of you birth, ID the name
OF the land. that laId where many of you
first bcheld the light OF heaven and Of that
liberty that is the god-siven right
of that people as of all others in tbe name
OF Parnell. [Applause.] besH you, I
entreat You, by every Sact OF yodrs to Zee
| that the promise have made is peligiously
and vigorously fulfilled. II there. are any
individuals in your great bigcity that have
grievances to settle let them be settled and
every delegate having the right. to enter

other, to grant the right to your brothers
that you demand for yourself and in the
discussion of any legitimate matter that
comes before US, to look back throngh the
last two months and take an example
worthy OF emulation, first from The Par
liamentary band OF brothers that sat there
in that Parliament House and listened day
after day to the most vicious and, malig-
nant sentiments that could emanate from
the heart or be given expression by the
mouth OF man. How did these nSsn be-
have in that critical moment? Did they
jump up and drive back thes SLAM
derer with vituperation? No,s they
did not. They were under disci-
p'ine, not equalled in any Legislative
body in ancient or modern times and what
in addition, can you say to s, ,OOO, ,OQQ souls
that were looking with anxiety FIR ths work
OF their representatives. The history of
the world fails to point to q grander pic:
ture, fails t" point to people troddAn by
the reckless hand of tyrant, who in these
moments OF diBpair, was so cool and self
possessed, who under the most TRYING
ordeal was so calm and dispassionate with
their hopes in heaven and in the fidelity of
their representatives. Oh! take lesson
from that race OF your home, that race
that in the last few months hRs shown
capacity for self Government and absten,i-
ouness fr. m vice and retuperatiolt not.

given against them has shown capacity
for self Government not equalsd bys any
other race on earth under like cir
cumstancss: Irishmen with Irish blood
coursing snnapr veins sit down
on every atoO at dissension in
this hall; be men; Be forbearing, be united.
You say unqualifedly here that no matter
what We may think of one policy or anoth-
er We have no policy here to act upon, ex-
cept the policy presented by Davitt and
by the representatives of the Parliamentary
party who are the mouthpiece OF Charles
Stewart Parnell.
At the conclusion of Judge Fitzgerald's
address. Alexander Sullivan, from his
place about the centre of the convention,
q ose and offered the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the delegates from each
State and Territory from the district Of
Columbia and from Canada be and they
are hereby instructed to report to the con-
ventiOn as soon as practicable, a repre-
sentative on each of the following -omsnit.
tees. viz: credentials resolutions, finances,
constitution and permanent organization.
Resolved, That the Hon.. William
o Brien, Hon. John Redmond, NJ. p, Hon
John Deasy, NJ. p, and Father of the Irish
appointed members Of the Committee on
Resolutions. rs representatives OF Ireland.
The purpose OF the appointment OF our
brothers from Ireland ia twofold. First,
that their counsel may make it impossible
to give expression to word which could
embarraes the Irish leader. Second, That
the world may behold perfect unity OF Irish
and Irish American sentiment.
The resolutions were seconded by F.
O'Brien, of Toledo, and unanimously
adopted. Louis Kelly, OF Minnesota,
moved as o substitute the immediate ap-
pointment of Committee on Credent ala,
each delegation to at once decide ON it's
own representative anu the convention to
adjourn till the afternoon. The previous
question was ordered and the substitute
adopted unanimously. All the delegations
were instructed to come in upon reassem-
bling prepared to submit the names of
members for the various committees yet to
be selected.
The convention then adjourned until
8 p. m.
At $50, half an hour after the time set
for the beginning of the night session, ths
Committee on Credentials is still in session
at the Grand Pacific with closed doors and
proceedings in the Central Music Hall had
not commenced at $50. The hall was
filled to overfowing, and as Judge Fitz-
gerald let fall the gavel q hush came over
the convention, while the
TALL FORM OF MICHAEL DAvlTr
was seen going to the stage. Davitt was
called on as soon as he entered the hall,
and despite his protest, the audience rising
to it's feet and cheering wildly, he rose to
say that he had been heard often,
and that he would simply introduce
his friend, Mr.. O'Brien, editor OF the
United ireland. Davitt spoke OF O'Brien
in unstinted terms of praise as patriot.
know you will be delighted to hear from
this friend, William O'Brien.
In his speech, O'Brien said: ''This days
proceedings have, thank God, shown they
did not exaggerate your patriotism and
selfsacrifice in the cause OF Ireland.
thank you again and again l thank this
great assembly-the Irish National League
and l thank you all for the years
of labor and noble and generous
work in the cause Of Ireland. I thank
you not on my humble part because we
are here as enthusiastically humble
ambassadors of Ireland and of Charles
Stewart Parnell, and it is hardly necessary
for me to say that whatever favor is e1-
tended us 10 this hall and during our short
visit in this country we well accept it not
as intended for ourselves but as intended
for the leader of our cause, under whose
banner it's our pride and our privilege to
carry q musket in the ranks.
After O'Brien concluded the Committees
were reported with the exception OF the
Committee on credentials. The convention
adjourned till tomorrow 10 O'Clock a. IN.
