At the headquarters Of the " Palmer

lished interview. The whole is used as
an argument that the demonstration,
which was under the control of Sulli-
van, was trap for Diytt and threat
for Parnell. On q large pasteboard
plscsrd is pasted j. p. O'ConnOr's ca
blegram, in which thst gentleman says
that Finerty's speech and address adopt
e. at Ogden's Grove have done incalcu-
liable injury to the cause OF home-rule,
both in English and Scotch constituent
cies.
At the evening session Of the Con-
yention Michael Dayitt introduced Mr..
O'Brien, editor Of United IreIqal. The
speaker declared the bAttle for Irish
freedom not yet ended. There vas, in
his view, a long and bitter struggle still
ahead, and never in the history Of the
Irish race was there greater interest in
he outcome than was centred now in
tits Convention.
The speaker, continuing in this strain,
said We have to look to it now more
than ever that you should be az our
backs in the fight. If you only knew
how they are straining over there for a
rift IN this tremendous Convention; to
catch a word or sign that Parnell ia no
longer leader. Thank God you have
that to-day. You have sent
back denial and shown that you are
with Parnell, and to death. At this
declaration there was a wild outburst |
Of cheering. which continued several |
minutes.
Alexander Sullivan arose to say that !
the Committee on Credentials were |
still in session, and that, contrary to |
the seeming impression of some, it was
not expected by them that they were |
to report immediately upon the as
sembling of the Convention; that |
other committees were to report first.
A delegate moved that Nr. Sullivan
be called to a place or the platform.
Mr.. Sullivan promptly declined the
lonor, and, being called on from all
,ides for a speech, said that it was I'M
necessary. The business Of the Con-
7entlon should proceed in order, and
when it became essential that he should
address, the Convention they would find
lin ready.
Sullivan turned slowly around and
,azed at his audience steadily a mo-
nent in silence. lie then moved that
he roll Of States be called for various
delegations 70 present the names Of
heir representatives in the committees
ithtr than on credentials. The motion
