LINCOLN, Neb., June 2O.-The follow
ing important circular has been sent out by
the executive committee of the Irish Ma
tional league of America:
10 the officers and members of branches
We are glad to be able to congratulate you
upon the splendid progress our cause has
made since we last addressed you. In q
the bill granting home rule to Ireland was
only defeated by the narrow majority of 80
votes. After the general election now
about to take place we believe
that Mr.. Gladstone will be in
position to undo by an overwhelming major
ity the sO-called union which that great
statesman himself, in his recent address to
Midlothian, so truly described--a paper
union, obtained by force and fraud and never
sanctioned or accepted by the Irish nation.
The measure of home rule pro-
Posed by Mr. Giaastone WILL he
peace and good will between Ireland and
England, while the twenty-year coercion al
tentative of Lord Salisbury and the Marquis
Of Harrington could result only in a
MORE DEADLY FEUD
than any that has ever before existed
between the two countries, accompanied
by consequences which every lo"er
of liberty and every friend of
humanity should deeply deplore. The pro-
vincia) committee scheme Of Mr.. Chamber
lain is unworthy of serious consideration. In
the face of the desperate and disgracefGl at
tempt of Salisbury, Churchill and Chamber
lain to foment religious strife among the peo-
pie Of Ireland, our people have acted
nobly. With the exception OF
handful Of misguided loyalists
in Belfast. they have shown the world that
the days of stupid religious bigotry and in
tolerance among Irshmcn has forever passed
away. The issue OF home rule for Ireland is
now fairly before the English people, and
we feel confident that the great mass of
fair-lninded, intelligent Engiishmen will
support Mr.. Gladstone by sending
him again back to parliament with
a large majority enable him to solve benefi-
cially for England as well us for Ireland the
great and most dangerous problem that the,
British empire has had to deal with during
this century In pursuance of the
powers conferred upon US by the ma
tional executive committee of the league
we hereby summon the third regular conven-
ton of the Irish National League of America,
to be held in Central Music hall, Chicago, on
Aug. Is and 10, 1856, and we earnestly trust
that every branch OF the league will be fully
represented there.
ALL BRANCHES
and societies affiliated with the ma
t.onel league that have subscribed
regular dues for the current term
or have contributed to the parliament
airy fund sum equal to the amount of dues
shall be entitled to representation, and the
basis OF representation shall be as
follows: One delegate for fifty MEM
bers in good standing, provided,
however, that in country districts where the
number of fifty members cannot be easily
reached any number from twenty-five to fifty
shall be entitled to one delegate. We look
for the attendance of an important delega-
ton from the home league and par
liamentary party. All arrangements
for the convention shall be under the
supervision Of the committee Of arrange
ment at Chicago already organized Of which
ex-president Alex Sullivan and the officers of
the leagues of the city of Chicago and state of
Illinois are members. Every branch OF
the leagues should set to work
promptly to prepare for the coming
crisis, and should remit all funds on
hand Immediately to the national treasurer
at Detroit. so that the money may be for
warded by him to Ireland and be made avail
able it necessary for the approaching CAM
paign. All true friends of Ireland,,
should, by active and energetic organization,
endeavor to make our approaching conven-
ton worthy of the sacred cause In which we
are engaged-the cause of Irish liberty. We
remand, yours very faithfully,
PATRICK EGAN, President,
CHARLES O'REILLY, Treasurer,
JOHN B. SUTTON, Secretary.
