laundering MayOr Creiger was introduced
as chairman. He made few remarks and
then introduced John Dillon. When the
wild cheers had died away Mr.. Dillon
spoke as follows. in part:
IL would De impossible for me TO say how
great is our gratitude for this support The
assurance of the sympathy of the citizens
OF this free land Is peculiarly gratifying.
II you fight for Irish liberty you will know
that If you suffer the cause of your coun-
try, at least your children and
wives are safe at home in Ameri-
"a. / believe in doing the greatest
possible amount of injury to the enemy
with the slightest amount of injury TO your
self. The claim have put forward is that
we have inflicted more loss upon the enc
mics of our race with less suffering to our
selves than has ever been done by anyone
before. BY the splendid example of self
government the Irish people have broken
the vast structure of the tyranny by which
they have been oppressed for so long. We
raised last year in Ireland S}00,0O0 for the
support of the evicted. This year in the
midst Of their poverty we will raise at
least Sl5O,OO0.
We have advanced rapidly Ia voice-with
Parnell as leader-and loud applause), and
at the furthest couple of years will bring
within your grasp victory for which
many have laid down their lives. Loud
applause.
MIR. O'Brien then spoke as follows in

need not tell you that our mission is
not a pleasure trip. Much depends on how
we may present the cause Of Ireland TO
YOU Our foes our trebling their efforts to
put US down as the victory comes nearer
We have the British people for us, and we
have all with Us. l know well that we can
rely upon YOU and that Your influence at
least will always be in favor of unity until
the struggle is over.

down the dark infamies perDetrated against
ireland, and declaring the time had ar
rived 70 arrest such methods of govern
ment.
Third-Whiie conscious that the cause of
Home Rule is by no means dependent upon
any individual we should be untrue TO our
selves and justice of the cause did we fail
to recognize the splendid services of
/ Charles Stewart Parnell. The Irish peo-
pie owe 70 him debt of gratitude which
/ can never be fully paid. When all seemed
/ in doubt he called into action an army of
men who for more 10 years stood with alb
solute singleneSs of purpose, with unques-
toned purity Of motive, and with patriotic
/ fervor almost without parallel in the
worlds history.
Fourth-Tendering sympathy to John
Dillon and William O'Brien, who are
about 10 return 10 Ireland TO enter upon
terms of Imprisonment for her sake.
| The resolutions conclude by saying that
those upon the field of action have better
opportunity for forming an opinion, and
that no intention is harbored of debating
10 them as 70 their course.
