KILKENNY, Dec. 21.-Mr. Parnell and
Mr.. Scully, the Parnellite candidate for
parliament, left here at noon to-day and
drove in closed carriage to Clare.
They were accompanied by a long pro-
cession of cars filled with ParnelPs sup
porters. Upon arriving at Clare the
Parneilites found ameeting proceeding.
opposite the Catholic curch. in support
of Sir John Pope Hennessy. When Mr..
Parnell reached the crowd a priest,
Father Walsh, addressing Parnell, said:
"These are chapel grounds. You must
not speak here" A local farmer here
interposed, saying that the grounds did
not belong to the chapel, that it was
KeOgh's field, and that Parnell had
perfect right to speak there. Mr.. Par
nell invited Father Walsh to hear both
sides. Arrangements had been made
to hold the meeting in that
field, he said, and it must proceed.
Father Walsh then requested every
body on his side to leave with him, and
some few persons followed the priest
and Sir Thomas ESmonde, who was also
present. A meeting was then organ
lied, and Mr.. Parnell made an address.
He said that, although his party did not
have all the clergy on his side. he had
DO harsh word for any one of them. He
desired the people 10 listen to the voice
of the priests, and reverence them as
priests. AS laymen the people could
not admit the priests absolutely to con-
troll the elections. He proceeded to in
Weigh against the traitOrouS mutineers,
who were enfeebling the party at
most critical moment. He asked his
hearers to consider his political past,
and then look into
His EnnermOst Heart
and see if they found any wrong there
as regarded his guidance of the national
policy. [Cries of NO." No."l He
could not look an assemblage of his
countrYmen in the face if he did not
speak the truth. Alter some further re-
marks, Mr.. Parnell concluded his speech.
and. leaving Clare, accompanied by Mr..
Scully, drove six miles TO JohnSwell,
where another meeting was held. While
MI. Scully was addressing this meeting,
Timothy Harrington arrived, and was
received by the crowd with much en-
speech, Mr.. Harrington addressed the
meeting. In the course of his remarks, he
said that his colleagues in America had
been led astray by messages from this
side of the ocean. "We," he said, "re-
GREETING that the enlightened ma
iority party in parliament had taken

TO British statesman, asked, 'Ho W
much did you give for this mani"
Nothing was better calculated to shame
and discredit the party. Mr.. Parnell
next spoke. He reminded the electors
that they had to deal with English
statecraft, which was watching to seize
every pointof vantage gronnd that Irish
men surrendered. 1t was not big
board of guardians for which Ireland
contended; it was a parliament that
would fully satisfy the aspirations of
the people. To achieve this the people
must
Stand by Their Leader
and not leave Ireland to the incapable
persons who were trying to step into his
shoes. His opponents had elected an
amiable, quiet, good-hearted soul. Nc
Carthy was the sort of man to ornament
quiet and early tea party. Laughter |
His opponents had also elected eight
other men TO take care Of their leader;
so he might be proud TO find that it took
nine men to try to fill his chair when
his enemies had succeeded in dragging
him out. He knew every one of these
men, and from the depths of his heart
he could say that if he thought he could
leave the deStinieS of Ireland safely in
their guardianship he would cheerfully
and willingly step down and aside.
But he knew such thing was impossi-
bic, and it would be a coward's part to
leave his country to be torn asunder by
twenty factions cOntending for power
and place. The men opposing him were
not elected to sit in Judgment upon him.
Until Ireland gave him his dismissal
he would regard himself as the leading
officer, carrying the national banner
through the ranks of the foe. ICheersl.
He believed Kilkenny would decide for
them. If not he would not be down.
hearted, but would still hold aloft the
flag until every constituency in Ireland
had had an opportunity of declaring
its Judgment in clear voice. TCheers7.
Mr.. Parnell returned to Kilkenny this
evening.
