BANQUET OF THE EIGHTY CLUB.
LONDON, May S--The Eighty Club gave
banquet TO MIR. Parnell this evening.
Herbert Gladstone, the Earl of Cavan and
all tho leading Parnellites were pro ent.
Mr.. Parnell, on rising to speak, was re-
ccived with prolonged cheers. He thanked
the club for the honor done him, and said
that the occasion would have great effect
in Ireland, reminding the Irishmen that they
were not alone in the struggle, and, what
was more important, that their responsible
ity was not the sole responsibility in this
matter. With reference TO Lord Carnarvon,
hesaid: "HiS Lordship has sought refuge
in evasions, but he has never denied any
statement that | have made. | should not
have referred to Lord Carnarvon in his
absence had not Lord Salisbury attacked
us, In our connection with the Liberals, as
assassins, unfit to be entrusted with the
government of Ireland. That, l think,
entitled us to retort.
A CHANGE OF FRONT.
| "The Conservatives have not always con-
sidered irderogatory to invite us to inter-
views; and to dinners aud luncheon, in
order to consult us in regard to the manner
in which Ireland should be governed. Lord
Carnarvon had ample opportunity to deny
the statements made by me three months
ago by letter, but instead of doing so he
waited until my friend, Dwyer Gray, to
whom he made. tho communication in
question, was dead before he ut
tempted to contradict me-" In
further confirmation of Mr. Gray's
statement, Mr.. Parnell here read letter
FROM Mr.. Gray to Lord Carnarvon, Nhich
was written n year after the il terview,
| when Lord Carnarvon was no longer in
Office. In this letter Mr.. Gray reminded
| Lord Carnarvou of the latter's decision that
the Crossmaglen prisoners ought to ba lib-
Grated, and asked him to impart that decs-
| ion to the present Lord Lieutenant. Lord
Carnarvon replied, accusing Mr.. Gray of
breach of confidence"
AN INTERVIEW.
Mr.. Parnell then told of an interview be-
tween himself and Lord Carnarvon at the
latter's invitation, at which Lord Carnarvon
agreed that it would be advisable to give
Ireland Parliament and to protect her in
dustries, and Mr.. Parnell admitted that in
such an event the league would become use
less and be dissolved Lord Carnarvon. y
| continued Mr.. Pernell, ''never de-
MED these statements, and |
never said he pledged himself
to them. He admits, however, that Lord
Salisbury knew beforehand that the inter
view was coming. and he was afterwards
informed of its tenor; yet he accuses me of
breach of confidence in having invited him
to publish the text of his written commu-
nication to Lord Salisbury Immediately
after the interview"
Mr. Parnell then proceeded to speak of
the Pope's rescript. He said he approached
the subject with unwillingness, and did not
think it his business as a Protestant, to
vindicate the freedom of Catholics He
was convinced that the Irish Catholics
knew their political duty and how to vim
dicate themselves. They would not allow
anybody, however higl or influential, to
influence them jot in their political duty
to their country, a thing that had been re-
peatedly tried from Rome, but had always
failed.
THE PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
With regard to the plan of campaign
when that was instituted he was danger
ously i'll, and compelled to refrain from all
work. He confessed, however, that
although the plan had benefited thousands
and pacified the country, he would then
have advised against it, because it con-
tained features inimical to the national
situation and would serve as a pretext for
the Tories to infict further coercion. When,
in 1887, he was able able to speak it was too
late. The government had already struck
at Messrs. Dillon and OBrien, and he
thought it better to let the matter
rest but he stipulated that
neither the league nor Parnellite
party should be identified with the plan,
and that the sphere of the plan should be as
restricted as possible. "Wnile leaving it to
Mes,rs. Dillon, O'Brien and others 10 deal
with the rescript," said Mr. Parnell, 81
shall adhere to our custom, when the gov
ernment strikes an Irishman, to fight for
him whether he be right or wrong" He
concluded with long defense of the politi-
cal combination, and drew a comparison be-
tween the Law in England and the law in
Ireland. He predicted coming trouble in
| Ireland over evictions, which he believed
the government feared as much as did the
tenants. He counsellel his countiymen TO
keep strictly within the law as understood
| in England. In response to many calls,
John Morley spoke briefly, concluding by
proposing vote Of thanks to Mr.. Parnell
MELoDRAMATIc BLUNDER.
LONDON, May 9, 5 A. M-The Standard,
in its comments on Mr. Parnel's speech,
| says it does not hesitate to declare what
Lord Carnarvon himself would doubtless
say with even greater emphasis-that the
secret meeting with Mr.. Parnell in an
empty house IN Dublin was a melodramatic
blu der. Mr.. Parnell's explanation, says
the Standard. disposes Of the fable that the
Conservatives gave half promise Of home
rule.
