selves. They are intelligent enough to see
that Parnell and his followers will not allow
bills looking to reform in England to pass
until the Irish question is first attended to.
The Tories are now in power and are boastlng
that they have no idea of granting tie appeal
of the Irish people for home rule. When
the Tory leaders were making the canvass
previous to election, they ssid as soon as
elected they would put down the Irish
National league. 1t is some mosths since the
Tories took charge. but the land leaSue1s still
in existsncs. 1 aa informed that in February
next the Tory parliament will introduce bill
giving the people Of every county in Ireland
the right to do in the future what the grand
juries have not done in the past. That is, the
people will have the right to spend their
money as they deem 1T in public improve
fnents. ana also TO elect provincial officers.
Ten years ago this would have been all right,
but now we will treat Lord Randolph Churc-
hills county government bill sop with Scorn.
Ireland will never agree to anything but
parliament to govern itself Cheers.l We
have solid Ireland, Scotland patting us on the
back and Wales saying they want govern
ment OF their own. In England We have one
of the
GREATEST LIVING STATESMEN
pleading that the Irish people be allowed self
government. With America by our aide and
the civilized people of every nation saying
that we are only asking what is just and
proper, can we take any notice Of Churchilrs
sop? We nae fought bigger men than
Churchill and every lover Of liberty and every
Irishman answers no. Cheers. We may
have to convert Tories to Liberals, and 1
pledge you my word that although they may
have majority in parliament they haven'tin
Ireland. am certain that if you are patient
and give Parnell fair trial in the next two
years. we will give Churchill all he wants.
When we obtain an Irish parliament we will
settle the Irish land question. Gladstone, IN
fortunately at the last election, forv arded
the scheme to buy the land from the Irish
landlords. So unpopular has the Irish land
lord become to the English masses that they
voted against Gladstones provision, and
that is one Of the reasons OF defeat.
The Democracy of England have become so
disgusted with these landlords that they
would not support any thing which looked
like allowing them to receive compensation
for their land. The first question 10 be set
tied by the Irish parliament is the land ques-
ton. That will be the duty of an Irish parlia-
ment. We Will have to revive our manufac-
turing industries. They can never rival
England, but under Irish govern ment we
could keep in the country thirty or forty
thousand dollars yearly, which now gees to
England Mines and fisheries viii also have
to be revived, and lastly we will Lave to re-
model our system of education. Under the
system now, Irish scholars cannot read Irish
history. although they NAV study the history
OF other countries. These are some of the
many things we would go to work to carry
out when Ireland is under home rule and the
country is what God Almighty intended it
should be, the home Of q liberty-loving people.
Loud applause. The mobs in the northern
part of Ireland, of which you have heard so
much recently, were started by the Tory
organization under Lord Churchill. He in
cited the Orangemen Of Belfast and Ulster in
order to create opposition to home rule and
Gladstone. | deny that the Protestants of
Ireland are ininical to home rule. The
Tories try to make Americans believe that
the people OF Ulster are opposed to home
rule, but they are giving statements that are
not true. In the struggle for Irish liberty
we know no class. We are working for the
liberty and freedom of Catholics and Protest
ants. In proof of this. will say that in the
town of Londonbury,a Protestant community,
Justin Mccarthy, Catholic, was elected to
parliament. In Wales had the pleasure of
masking the canvass in company with twenty
students from Protestant college. Don't
become impatient because we are not in the
struggle to your way of thinking. Leaders have
been put in prison, coercion acts passed, and
even if we should meet with reverses don't
think our policy has failed. With united
Ireland and Wales at our back and the En-
glSh people in favor of our demands we are
on the road to success. Unless we commit
some egregious folly, aud we will not do it on
the other side, success IS ours. On my return
/ will tell them you will aid them, and they
can depend on the aid of the Irish-American
people in their struggle.
At the conclusion of Davitts address
Fathers BOvey and Walsh and eX-Gov,
Ramsey made short speeches, and the meet

Save Ireland"
