AN APPEAL TO THE IRISH RACE.
LONDON, November 27th.-Davitt will
publish in the Labor World tomorrow an
appeal to the Irish race at home and abroad.
In this appeal he implores the people to
rise and show themselves equal TO the pres
ent emergency, and says that if Parnell re-
mains at the head of the party there can be
no hope Of saving the cause of Ireland.
The Irish party, he says, contains more
than one man who is capable of leading it
to victory, and there is sufficient patriotism
in the party to follow a leader chosen from
its own ranks by majority of its members.
In conclusion, he ssys that Whatever de-
cision may be made the Irish cause is i'm
perishable, and he asks the people to pray
to God that wisdom and courage may guide
those upon whom Irelands hopes are GEN.

LONDON, November 9th. = Timothy
Healy and Parnell had conference to-day.
The feeling among the Nationalist members
is more favorable to Pernell than yester-
day, and the opinion prevails that they will
sustain him.

say anything about the Irish leaders in
tentions. Parneil appears to be in buoyant
spirits and splendid health.
a noticeable incident occurred in the
Commons when Parnell went to vote on
Labouchere's amendment. Parnel had to
pass the Liberal benches, and his late
allies studiously ignored him.
1t is stated that if Parnell remains in the
leadership, Sexton and other Irish men,
bers will offer themselves for reelection,
IN order to test the feeling of the electors
PARSELL DETERMINED TO REMAIN.
LONDON, November 27th.-The Press AS
sociation says that PsrDell considers that
he has been unfairly treated by some OF
his colleagues, who practically owe their
position to him. He also feels strongly
about Gladstone's attitude, and is more de-
termined than ever to remain. II Mon
days meeting opposes him he will appeal
TO the Irish people.
The Dublin FfeeBlan'S Journal says: Par
nell will issue manifesto to the Iiish peo-
pie, aud meanwhile asks them to suspend
judgment.
Labourchere has written Parrell urging
him to withdraw.
Earl Spencer, in a speech tonight, while
eulogiziDg Parnelrs work, said the opinion
of the Liberals is clearly against Parnells
my 1xo s h
tire the Irish cause would be thrown back,
and would be mighty misfortune to Ire
land and the empire.
The NelCS again appeals 10 Parnell to ac-
cept Lord Spencer's calm advice, and not
give his followers the painful duty of re-
eleeting him.
One of Parnells closest personal friends
declares that he regards the movement to
expel him as a Radical revenge for his sup
port of the royal grants last summer, aud
that he will resist to the last this attempt
to destroy the independence of the Irish
party. and make them mere appendage to
the Liberal party.

his retirement is the lesser of two evils. s
Many proposals have been made to him
for compromise, which the whole party
could accept, but he maintains his original
position that there is no middle course, and
he must stand or fall by the vote of the
party.
