There was an immense demonstration
! at Ogden Grove, Chicago, last Saturday,
on the occasion of the meeting of the
Irish National delegates with the Amer
lean contingent. Congressman Fin
nerty's address was too peppcry To be
endorsed by Michael DaviIt, who re-
buked the fire-eating utterances OF that
gentleman and Mr.. NJ. +. Brady.
Davttt's speech was marked by temper
ate language, and his review of the par
liamentary situation was very lucid and
foroible. Finnerty replied in hot
headed speech that fairly carried the
meeting of its feet. The American
friends of ireland and Parnell, who dis
trusted Egan, held a rival meeting at the
same tine that the Ogden Grove meet
lug was in progress, and this meeting
was attended by some 10000 people. A
second meeting was held at Ogden
Grove later in the day, at which 10000
people were present. The speeches at
this meeting were more moderate than
in the afternoon gathering. The Davitt-
Finnerty episode was the one theme of
conversation in Irish circles in Chicago
yesterday. Flnnerty's denunciation Of
Parnell in accepting Gladstone's meas
ure as a final settlement was most i'm
passiOned, and his fierce prayer for a
'battle field in which 10 wipe out the
stigma of the Boyne and the wrongs OF
Ireland" was tremendously applauded.
