Parnell, he said, put Capt. OShea in parlia-
ment. the price paid being the honor Of
O'Sheas wife.
In his speech Mr.. Healy said: '.Parnell
wanted to make men like Dillon. O'Brien and
Sexton holocaust on the altar of his lusts: He
boosted that he would expel the tifty-three
Justonians (McCarthyites), but he had under
taken big contract" Mr.. Healy then accused
Mr.. Parnell of prOstituting the fund for evicted
| tenants to employ hireling boys to break his
| opponents skulls. Parne1 was showing won
derful zeal and activity now, but where had he
| been the last five years?
