4 POLITICAL ROW.

Meetings of both factions of the Irish Nationalist party had been announced in Ballinsbill to-day and the village was thronged with the adherents of both sides.
 Davitt, accompanied by Father O Hal loran, was the first prominent speaker who arrived at the meeting ground, and he took stand on the higher part of the square. Cheers and counter cheers were vociferously indulged ill.
 As Davitt began his speech, a wng- onette, in which were William Red mond, Member of Parliament, Father Ryan and other Parnellites, was driven through the lower part of the square, followed by cheering crowd. Red mond began speaking at the same time with Davitt.
 Another party, headed by several priests, driving briskly through the crowd, put a temporary stop to tho speeches at both meetings. The new corners ranged themselves alongside of the car occupied by Davitt.
 Parnells appearance beside Redmond was the signal for cheers and p1lid the din Parnell spoke to the crowd around him. He sharply scored Hennesy, the anti-candidate, as man who went to Parliament in 1861 as supporter of Dis raeli, and who now wants to go as a Liberal.
 Several men then made strong ef- fort to drag wagon ill the midst of the Parnell gathering.
 Parnell, resuming, maintained that the consistency of his public life had been preserved amid his unceasing ef- forts to create and preserve an iude- pendent Irish party
 Tanner was speaking when sudden conflict arose. A rush was made toward Dayitt's ear, and general melee en- sued, A forest of ash plant sticks arose and descended ill the air.
 Davitt leaped from his car, yielding thick hazel stick, and fought his way, foot by foot, toward Parnelrs wagon He finally reached the wagon hatless and with his face badly marked, and with few of his men with him, who also bore traces of the severe usage they had received in their desperate passage between the two vehicles. Standing on the steps of Parnell's wagon, Dayitt uttered & breathless and indistinct de- fiance, then turned and pushed back to his own car. amid the continuous yells and generations of the two wildly-ex. cited factions and with the exchange of a shower of blows
 Davitt then remounted his car and shouted, 'Men of Kilkenny, I came here in defense of the right of pn.. meeting and the liberty of speech. Our opponents sent their blaokguards to in terrupt us, but We have beaten them back. l was never struck by an Eng lshm2n, but to-day l was struck by my own countrymen.
 Parnell and his friends drove to Gas tie Conner. Davitt and Tanner follow ed At Castle Conner Davitt and Tan her addressed A meeting, dilating on the affair at Ballinskell, and asserting that Parnel brought hired mob there to attack them.
 Afterward, while the Parnellites were addressing the crowd, a number of Dayitt's followers began hooting. The Parnellites closed around the vehicle from which their orators were address ing the people, and the police appeared and tried to divide the factions
 The meeting ended Parnel and friends drove of, amid showers of stones and mud Harrington's shoul- ders were covered with lime and n mass of lime struck Parnell full in the face, completely binding him.
 This insult infuriated Parnell's friends. Harrington turned to Father Farrell, who was at the head of Parnell's oppo- nents, and exclaimed Coward, you are disgrace to your church p The police again interfered and the party finally got away.
 Arriving at the Victoria Hotel, Xiii kenny, Parnell had to be led from the wagon to his room. He reclined in an arm chair apparently sightless and sui fering most intensely He still remains in the hands of his doctor.
 Surgeon Hackett, who attended Par nell along the road, said that all the lime had been removed but the patient was still suffering intensely, He said he did not anticipate, from the present appearance, any permanent injury to Prnell's sight.
