Irish Home Rule Doomed by Min
neaPoiis Sympathizers.
A large and appreciative audience gath
cred at Market hall last evening, for the
purpose of ratifying the recent bill of Mr..
Gladstone providing for home rule in Ire
land, and drafting resolutions of sympathy
and respect for the grand old man who has
done so much for the Irish cause. A few
moments before 9 o'clock President j. j.
McHale appeared on the platform followed
by a number of other gentlemen, and
explained the object of the meeting
at some length. He said he was
sorry to announce that number of prom
inent speakers were unable to be present.
He read letters of regret from Prof. 0. Y.
Tousley. II. NJ. Simmons and w. d. Wash
burn. He then introduced Mayor Ames as
the chairman of the evening. Applause
greeted this Introduction, and continued for
some minutes His Honor made neat lit
tie speech, saying that he esteemed it a
great honor and pleasure to preside over the
meeting. He paid neat-complimentt to MI.
Gladstone in a few we'll chosen words.
James. r. Corrigan then addressed
the meeting. He said he was surprised
that he had been called on so early in the
evening, but he was proud of it. He told
the audience that it could materially help
the passage of the home rule bill by free
expression of feeling on the subject at this
meeting.
AGITATION,
he thought was the only way in which to
conquer some evils, and the oppression of
the Irish was one of them. Home rule will
be opposed by some who see that in case it
succeeds, as it surely will, it must equalize
the power that is now held,
but by few. Our Endorsement Of
a set of resolutions will encourage
Mr. Gladstone, who will then learn that the
eyes of a great republic are on him. The
day will come when we will have a free
land over there. Judge Rea was next in
groduced in a pleasant manner by Mayor
AmeS, who paid him quite tribute. The
judge said the greatest thing this generation
had produced was William E. Gladstone.
The picture of him standing in
the house of parliament upholding Ireland
will ever live in the breast of
every honorable man. The day is dawning
and this movement will not go backward.
Home rule is now assured and not thing
that can only be looked forward to in the
dim and UNEMPLOYED distance. The civil
lied world has at last learned the great
wrongs of Ireland and is now determined
to right them. There is sense of justice
down in the hearts of even the English,
and you can depend upon it that they will
not permit this tyranny to longer continue.
1t goes without saying that
IRELAND HAS BEEN WRoNGED
but is soon going to be righted. When Glad
stone tells the people that the only way to
right the wrongs done Ireland is to allow
the Irish to rule their own land, he
touches a chord in every human heart. Par
nell, Judge Rea held up as fit model for
every 1rishman. and paid him one of the
highest tributes it is possible for one edu-
Gated man to pay another. There is an in
fluence pouring into England that can not
pass unheeded. and in less than ten years
Dublin will once more be the capital of
new kingdom. His remarks were we'll re-
ceived and greeted with rapturous applause
P. II. McPartlan, the well-known Irish
orator, in brief speech said he did not
come prepared to make any extended re-
marks. He then outlined Mr.. Gladstones
former policy and the one he is pursuing
now. He thought if it were not for Irish
prosecution at home America would not
have so many friends of the cause of Ire
land He closed by reciting that beautiful
poem, ''Strike for Your Affairs and Your
Fires" etc. During his remarks one ell
in with appropriate remarks which brought
down the house.
A TELLING SPEECH.
W. II. DOnahue, in telling and we'll
received speech, stated clearly the position
of Ireland, and predicted that in very few
years Ireland would be free country. C.
a. Gallagher was next introduced as gen
uine Irish martyr, who had been sacrificed
but who had not yet been burned up. Mr..
Gallagher smiled one of his bland smiles to
the audience. He said he was sorry that
the platform was not better filled. Here
the enthusiastic supporter of the cause
before mentioned jumped to his feet
and fairly howled: I'VE don't want
them. We have the mayor and that's
enough" The applause for moment was
deafening. AS soon as quiet was restored
Mr.. Gallagher resumed his speech He
said that all the credit should not be given
to Mr.. Gladstone, but that Mr.. Parnell
should come in for share. Mr.. Gladstone
he thought, did not pursue his present
course on account of Ireland alone, but on
account of England, as he saw this home
rule measure must come sooner OF later.
He dwelt for some time upon the beneficial
effect of holding these mass meetings and
endorsing resolutions. Mr.. Gallagher then
UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED:
Whereas, The right of self-government is
sacred to the American people; and
Whereas, They believe and know from
actual experience that constitutional gov
eminent bring strength peace, union and
prosperity to the nation; be it therefore
Resolved, That we, the citizens of Mime
apolis, in mass meeting assembled, hereby
tender our hearty sympathy to the Irish peo-
pie, to Hon. William E. Gladstone and Hon.
Charles Stewart Parnell in their efforts to Sc
cure home rule for Ireland; and
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions
be given to the press of this city. and like
copy forwarded TO the RI Hon. William E.
Gladstone.
A TALK ON TYRANNY.
The Rev. Stephen Burns then made
strong Speech severely censuring the men
who in days gone by strenuously opposed
the agitating of the Irish question. He
represented religion which had not
changed for 1880 years, and he was proud
to confess it, and he did not think that any
people who had remained i'm one religion
for so long could be cast down by the
tyranny which had been practiced over
them for many years. He was followed
by Thomas Canty and Col. Glenn in we'll
delivered and well-received speeches, which
appealed to the manhood of every Irish
man. At the conclusion of the latte +
speech the meeting adjourned.
