CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. So.-The view:
of the Irish ENJOYS III America excepting
Timothy Harrington, were cabled to-
night to London. The following is the
document in part:
Justin Mccarthy. II. P, Vice Chairman Of the
1Iish Pa lialnentary Purity:
Our sense OF the matches genius of
Parnel US leader. of the inper-
ishuble services he has rendered
to the Irish cause, of the courage,
Integrity and splendid success with
which he hHs led our people for ten
years, ami the tie of conrudeship AMI
personal respect and affection which for
wears bound us to him have made us
saspend judgment against his further
2iership. The manifesto which Par
nell has just issued,
CUTS Us OFF
from the last hopes to which we elung.
Anxious to avoid words thnt might en-
bitter this controversy, we shall not
dwell upon the cruel injustice with
which lie treats the members of the
party that has followed him with
loyalty and affection, such rs no leader
never experienced before. His recollpc-
ton of their fealty to him in many hours
of trial might well have saved them from
the i,Dputntion that any section could
have allowed their integrity to be Slapped
by Liberal wire pullerS, nor would We
do more than enter q protest against this
violation of all constitutional principle.
We should readily have waited in the
interest of national solidity, bul for the
method in winch he Is ignoring the o igiu
of the present calamitous situation.
Parnell endearored TO
FAsTEN THE RESPONSIBILITY
of ii uron Messrs. Gladstone and Nor
ley, ana compels US to dissoriate our
selves In the strongest panuer
from the imputution which we believe
to be reckless and unjust; that
while we view with adherence the at
tacks that have been made on Parnell by
his public and private enemies under
cover of his present difficulties, we con-
slider il unjust 10 the English people and
lamentable from pOiut of view of in-
ternational good feeling to describe as
English wolves bowling for his destruc-
ton those who have not been able TO
bring themselves TO the same view which
gratitude and necessity for union COM
peeled Pnrnell, our colleagues and coun-
trymen. The plea of Parnell that Mr..
Gladstone's letter involves claim to
dictate TO the Irish party. aud
thereby 10 strike al the independ-
ence of that party as strictly
IRISH NATIONAL BODY
Is one calculated to inspire every Irish
Nationalist with alarm IL that plea were
not an obvious fallacy. What ever
differences OF opinion muy exist to the
haste with which Gludstone's letter was
communicated to the public, il was OBJ
viously not his hostility TO home rule,
but his earnest desire to save it from dis
aster that prompted Gladstone TO write the
letter. We deplore that the difficulties
of Gladstone . position were not frankly
recognized by Parnell, and thnt. on the
contrary, friendly private communica-
tons, obviously made with view of
smoothing the passage of home rule,
have been made the basis of insinuatiOn
of trearhery to the Irish cause. BY his
conviction, again and again expressed.
that home rule, to be effective, must lie
such measure as will
SATISFY THE IRISH PEOPLE,
CT adstone is bound to full and ample
measure Of the self government of Ire
lind. To offer any other scheme would
be an act of incredible folly, and we EN-
phaticully separate ourselves from any
such charge against Gladstone. We
think il deplorable that Morley's sugges-
ton that some OF the Irish party would
cooperate in carrying out the Irish pro-
grnmme of the Liberal home rule
party would be strangely iu-
,erpreted by MIR. Parnen.
Every member OF the Irish party will OF
course agree with Parnell, that the ac-
ceptance by any Nationalist member OF
Office from any English ministry would
he Ia breach OF the elementary principles
upon which our party is founded, but
nobody who knows Monkeys character
Will doubt this suggestion was made in
the honest belief that the British
III niS!ry would be helped In
the difficult work of carrying
through the details of Irish
home rule bill by cooperation of Irish
Q 'lIeagues, and it was not an insid:ous
attempt on the integrity AMI indie
pen!ence Of the Irish party. We have
now TO confront the statement that
Parneli's leadership opens au impassi-
Die gulf between the representatives Of
Ireland am! the Liberal party. who have
FAITHFULLY OBSERVED
their part OF their side Of the agreements
10 the national claims of Ireland, and

piorable expressions of Ill will toward
The British people, who have aguin

years, manifested their determination to

their votes puruiyzed the arm of coer-
tiou in deliberately bringing things to

rash and fatal path. upon which every
