Mr.. Davitt make the same claim for their
leader
Mr.. Parnell started for the village Of
Goresbridge to-day, despite the protest of
his doctors. The physicians warned him
that he ran the risk OF increasing the inflanl-
nation Of his eyes, which, they said, might
result in the loss of bis right eye. MIR. Par
nell drove for twelve miles with his eyes
bardaged, and with a shawl wrapped about
his head and shoulders to protect him from
the bitter cold. He was accompanied by
Messrs Scully. John Redmond, O'Kelly
and Nolan. A crowd of many
hundreds of persons, headed by band Of
music, met the Parnellltes as they we're ems
tering Goresbridge. MIR. Redmond opened
the speech-naking. He appealed to the
voters to show the world that they could
conduct an election without descending to
disgraceful scenes. He said 1t was the hui
initiation OF Ireland to find those Of her
men participating In an election, at crisis
In her national life, resorttng TO obscene
scurrility that would disgrace the lowest
dregs Of the city slums. [Cries Of "Healy,'
"Tanner."l

whose name, whatever his shortcomings
might be- would live in history as that OF

Parnell led, manned betore them, who did
not feel the blood coursing hotly through
his veinss The speaker then shouted:

that those responsible for the deed were not

Amidst continuous cheering, Mr.. Parnell
was then assisted toward the front of his
wagonette and addressed the people. He
referred to the split in the Irish party as
due to English dictation. Throughout the

himself i'll the terms he had used in his

Carthyi6es. addressed meeting at Urling-
ford to-day.
UPRoAR AT KILKENNY.
AT meeting Of the corporation of Kil>
kenny to-day some members introduced,
aud attempted TO pass, resolution declar-
ing In favor Of John Pope Hennessy, the
parliamentary candidate OF the Mccarthy
ties. The Parnell mon objected TO this
proceeding, aud the nesting was soon In an
uproar.
Some Of the ParnellHe members chal-
lenged their opponents to light. Finally the

The United Ireland says that when the
Offices of the paper we're taken possession of
by Mr.. Parnell he discharged no member of
the staff except Mr. Bodlfin, tue acting
editor. II a few members of the staff
stayed away Mr.. Parnell cannot be blamed
for filling their places with other men.
LIVELY EDITORIAL.
In an article on the political situation,
the United Ireland says that the result Of the
coming parliamentary election in Kilkenny
touches Ifeland's existence as a nation.
The maintenance Of the central idea OF
nationhood depends upon freedom from alien
dlctatiop. Men Of spirit and judgment should
have instantly repudiated Mr.. Gladstone's
pretension, but the dissident Irish leaders,
with a solitary exception. were not
honest followers Of Mr.. Parncll, and
were not strong in mind or
heart. The plot to degrade Mr.. Parnell,
the paper says, had been Matching for years,
and the conspirators only awaited chance
to put their scheme into effect. Personal
hatred. vanity, envy or ambition moved
many of the plotters while others were
actuated by baser motives. Healy's putrId
scurrlity, Tanners debauched ruffianism
and Davitt's rancorous jealousy, miserable
pettiness and sinister viciousness are signif-
cant.
The chapter Of the Catholic diocese of
Dublin has adopted resolution urging the
ecclesiastical authorities to abstain from
taking action in the Parnell matter, the
Catholic laity being divided on the subject.

At the conclusion Of the meeting at
Goresbridge Mr.. Parnell and his party

were well received at this place, and Mr..
Parnell spoke briefly from a window to

the house where he was stopping.

terian assembly OF Belfast, has issued an
address to his brethren in Great Britain in

Irish non-conformists, who are un-
