FAREWELL TO PARNELL
The Delegates to America Call Upon
Him 10 Resign.
ALL ARE DESERVING HIM
Between ireIand's Leader and Her
Cause Loyal Men Choose the
Latter-There Is No Hope
for Him to Win.

CHICAGO, Nov. O.-Tonieht while
o'Brien, Gill and O'Connor were drawing
up document severing their connection
with Parnell ON the lines agreed upon
with their colleague in the afternoon,
the other delegates, Dillon, Sullivan and
Harrington were dining in another part
Of the city in company with Mrs. Parnell,
the aged mother OF the man FIVE Of them
had decided must retire So far as can
be learned, the knowledge Of what
had been done was kept from
the old lady, and TO those who
knew what was going on down town, the
scene must have been strangely unreal.
The delegates who slgned the manifesto
we're deeply agitated this evening, but
felt they had taken the only proper
course.
Ii is announced late tonight that Hsr-
rington, who did not sign the manifesto,
will separate from his comrades and re-
turn 10 Ireland. In an interview, Har-
rington said the leadership Of Parnell is
absolutely necessary 10 success. He de-
sires the unity and Independence Of the
Irish party and deems Parnell's leader
ship necessary for this.
CHICAGO, Nov. 30-The views Of the
Irish ENJOYS now In America, excepting
Timothy Harrington, were cabled 20 Justin
Mccarthy. vice-chairman OF the Irish par
liamentary party, tonight. The delegates
say in part: Our sense OF the malchless
genius OF Mr.. Parnell as leader, Of the
invaluable services he has rendered the
Irish cause; OF the courage. integrity and
splendid success with which he had led
our people for 10 years, and the per
sonal respect and affection which for
years bound us 10 him, have made
us suspend 10 the last possible moment
our judgment against his further leader
ship. The obligation TO express that
judgment is 10 all OF US the most painful
duty Of our lives. No earthly considera-
tion could move us TO our determination
except the solemn conviction that we are
driven to chose between Parnell and the
destruction OF our country's cause. The
manifesto which Parnell has just issued
cuts us oil from the last hope 10 which
we clung. Anxious to avoid word that
might embitter this controversy we shall
not dwell upon the inipstice with which
he treats the members e the marty that
has followed him with loyalty and effort
such as no oleader ever experienced before.
His recollection OF their fealty 10 him in
the hour Of trial might well have saved
them from the impuiation that any
section Of them could have allowed their
integrity TO be snapped by liberal wire
pullers. The method in which, ignoring
the origin OF the present calamaties OF
the situation, Mr.. Psrnell endeavored 10
fasten the responsibilities for IL upon
Gladstone, and Morley compels us to dis.
associate ourselves in the strongest man.
ner from the imputation which we be.
lieye reckless and unjust. We view
with abhorrance the attacks on Parnell
| 10y his public and private enemies under
cover of his present difficulties. To at
tacks Of this kind addressed to a man by
a proud and strong enemy we may at
tribute many Of the terrible dangers will
which Ireland is now threatened and feaI
they may do further mischief by devert
ing the minds OF many of the people from
grave national TO purely personal issue.
in the natural resentment Of the ungener
Gus attacks on the great leader il
the hour Of stress and dis
aster. But. while making ever,
possible allowance for Paruelrs feelings
we consider il unjust TO the English peo
pie. and lamentable from the point o.
view Of international good feeling 20 de
scribe as English wolves those who hav,
not been able to bring themselves to III
the same view TO which gratitude and th.
necessity for the union impelled Parnell',
colleagues and countrymen.
"The plea Of Parnell that Gladstone'l
letter involves the claim 20 dictate TO th,
Irish party and thereby strike at the indie
pendence Of that party as strictl,
Irish national party is one calcu
lated TO inspire every Irish nation
plist with alarm, IL that plea were no
an obvious fallacy. Whatever differ
ences Of opinion may exist as TO the hast,
with which Gladstone's letter was mad,
public, Il was obviously not his hosnlit,
TO home rule, but his earnest desire tt
save II from disaster that prompted Glad
stone to write his letter. We deplore tha
the difficulties OF Gladstone's position
we're not frankly recognized by Parnell
and that. on the contrary, friendly pri
vate communications, obviously mad,
with the view Of smoothing the passag,
of the home rule bill, hav,
been made the basis Of insinuationt
Of treachery TO the Irish cause. BY IN
conviction aRain and again expresse,
that home rule TO be- effective must d,
such measure as will satisfy the Irisl
people, Gladstone is bound 10 a full an,
and ample measure Of self government
70 Ireland.
ITO offer any other scheme would no
only be an action Of Incredible baseness
but Of incredible folly, and we emphati
cally separate ourselves from any sucI
charge against Gladstone
Referring 10 Morley's suggestion tina
some OF the Irish party should co-operat
in carrying out the irish programme Il
the liberal lines, the manifesto ssys tha
nobody who knows Morley's characte
will doubt that the suggestion was mad
in the honest belief that the liberal mir
istry would be helped In the difficult wor
Of carrying through the details Of th
Irish home rule bill by the cooperation @
his Irish colleagues, and il was not an it
sidious attempt on the integrity and ind,
pendence of the Irish party.
