Davitt, in his speech, says:
"Parneli has fed, as he will fee from Kilkenny
next Monday, but will meet HIM face to face
before this contest is over and ask him to repeat
that the archbishops, bishops. priests and Sex
ton, O'Brien and Dillon are the scum of the
earth. This is the Parnen who did not hesitate
to accept $4,000 from the scum of ireland"

headings, such as "Parnellite towards, !"
''Frceman's Journal Falsehoods, I" "Parnell-
lite Opinion Manufactured" etc. The
paper had large sale.
