Special TO THE MORNING CALL

DUBLIN, Dec. 1s.-An article on the po-
htical situation in United Ireland says the
result of the coming Parliamentary election
in Kilkenny touches Ireland'S existence as
nation. The maintenance of the central
idea of nationhood depends on freedom
from alien dictation. Men of spirit and
Judgment should have instantly repudiated
Gladstone's pretension. The plot to degrade
Parnell, the paper says, has been haIching
for years, and the consprators were only
awaiting chance to put their scheme into
effect Personal hatred, vanity, envy or
ambition moved many of the plotters, while
others were aetuated by baser motives.
Healy's putrid scurrility, Tanners de-
bauched ruffianism and Dayitts rancorous
Jealousy, miserable pettiness and sinister
viciousness are significant.
PARNELLlTES CAPTURE A MEETING.
At meeting of the corporation at Kill
kenny some of the members introduced aud
attempted TO pass a resolution declaring in
favor of Hennessy, the Parliamentary can
didate of the McCarthyites The Parnell
men objected, and the meeting was in an
uproar Some of the Parnellite members,
in their enthusiastic support of their can
didate, challenged their opponents to
fight. Finally the Mayor, who is Nc
Carthyite, and other supporters of Hen
messy withdrew from the meeting. The
Parnellites thereupon elected Chairman
and passed resolution expressing conf
dsnce in their leader.
PARNELL CHEERED.
Parnell left Kilkenny to-day to attend the
meeting at Goresbridge and Gowhal and
Gowran. He left the hotel in a closed car
riage. His right eye was covered with
bandages.
Parnell went to Goresbridge against the
protest of his doctors, driving twelve miles
in the bitter cold. large crowd met them
and meeting was held. Redmond made
speech in which his reference TO the lime
throwing was greeted with cries of
Shame!" Parnell addressed the crowd
briefly and later spoke at Gowran, being
received with great enthusiasm.
OPPOSED TO HOME RULE.
1t is announced that two Parnellite men,
bers of Parliament have been asked to re-
sign by their constituents.
The Chapter of the Catholic Diocese of
Dublin has adopted a resolution urging the
eccleslastcal authorities to abstain from
taking action in the Parnell matter, the
Catholic laity being divided on the question,
Rev. Mr.. Park, Moderator for the Presby-
terian Assembly of Belfast, has issued an
address to his brethren in Great Britain, in
behalf, he says, of the million and a quarter
of Irish nonconformists who are unani-
mously opposed to home rule. except in the
shapeEof local Government measure con-
ferred by the Imperial Parliament which is
alone competent to deal with any remedial
legislation for Ireland.
