The PARNELL CLUB.
A Talk with Secretary Reilly On
Its Objects and Aims.
lreland's Bright Prospects Should Glad
stones Measure be fayora-
bic to Her--ReguIar
Club Meeting
Tonight.

The Parnell Club recently organized IN
this city, is making some substantial pro-
gress in the way of numbers and pertectlng
plans by which fund can be raised in aid
of the Irish cause. The club has decided
to remain an independent organization
ard to transmit what money they can raise
TO the person and place where the most
good can be done. In conversation yes.
terday with Secretary Reilly, of the club,
he said to 8 reporter:
mo time in her history has Ireland had
such bright prospects as at present. At
the lest election the Conservatives re-
turned 10 Parliament 247 members, the
Liberals 1874 membera and the Parnellites
SO members; no one party having ma
iority, it will require the cooperation OF
at least two OF them to
CARRY ON THE GOVERNMENT SUCCESSFULLY.
The Conservatives made the attempt but
failed, fer the reason that her measures
were too extreme to draw support from
either OF the other parties Then the LIB
erals, which are known az the Gladstone
party assumed power with two less than 8
msiority, and cannot administer the
affairs of Government without the
assistance Of one Of the other
parties. Should the measure to be intro
duced By the new government be too favor
able toward Ireland, there is no doubt but
that Gladstone will loose some OF his own
party, vet think not sufficient to weaken
his own government, should he have the
united support of the Psrnellites. Upon
the other hand, should the measure be I'M
favorable to Ireland, or such that the Par.
nellites cannot support, it is very doubtful
whether sufficient members of the Conser-
natives will come TO the rescue TO cave the
Gladstone government from dissolution.
March 23d is the time Gladstone has
fixed for the introduction of bis measure
on the Irish question. 1t is conceded BY
every one conversant in English polilics
that Gladstone has the ability to deal sue
cessfully with this perplexed question, and
that he will do so provided he
RECEIVES PROPER ENCOURAGEMENT
and support. The Parnell party is COM
posed Of the best talent that Ireland can
produce, but many of them are 10
Door circumstances and unable
| from their own resources to
support themselves at London during the
sessions of Parliament, hence they call for
financial aid from their friends in this
country, to enable them to achieve for Ire.
land self government. 1t is the duty OF
every Irishman and Irish American and
every lover OF liberty and freedom to give
Ireland a. this time their moral aud
material aid in her struggle for liberty
