VOLUME LXIX-NO. II.

Unionist Association has issued long
manifesto, from which the following are
extracts: Parnell and Parnellites have al
way ways been an untrustworthy body. upon
and whose parliamentary antecedents m ade
them unfit and unsafe allies for any great
party.
No distinction can be made between the
Parnellites and the ants. The latter con-
doned his delnquencies and accepted his
policy, and now sacrifice him as means of
extorting fresh terms from their allies. A
mistake the British home rulers made was
IN allowing themselves to be convinced that
either the methods or objects Of the Irish
Ievolutionaries had changed. Neither
faction will ever accept home rule without
mental reservation for an absolute separa-
tion and complete Irish independence.
MANIFESTO OF THE ENJOYS.
NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-THE Irish envoys
now In this city issued long manifesto to-
nIght Ihey say that when they reached
thls country, six weeks ago, the Irish cause
was marching to certain victory. 1t was
conceded on both sides that general cleo
tion must bring home rule majority. The
aeissolution OF Parliament could not be de-
iefred beyond two years, and would proba-
piy take place within twelve months.
ONLY ONE THING NECESSARY.
All that was necessary to secure triumph
was that the delegates should raise the nee
essarY funds to preserve evicted tenants
from destruction and keep their organiza-
tlons unerushed, so as TO force the coercion
Government to face the general election in
the same condition Of abject failure which
the gallantry of the Irish tenantry had
Kept 1t In throughout the five years of in
ceSsant conflict with coercion.
PARNELL's CHARGES DEALT WITH.
In less than two weeks they had secured
nearly 100000, and it was certain that
sufficient sum would be subscribed TO put an
end to the last hope of the coercionists.
The manifesto then refers to the change in
the situation, and, speaking of Parnell's
charges, says, in part:
HINTS OF TREACHERY.
These hints of treachery on the part of
British statesmen have not lost their power
over the people, who are oaly too we'll ac-
customed to the tradition of British unfaith-
1ulness by their unhappy history. 1t is easy
10 understand the Influence upon our warm
hearted colleagues and tellow-countrymen of
appeals to their feelings such rs these, urged
with all the authority of Parnel's name and
with all the dexterity and magnetic power
OF which he Is master.
10TH TO ABANDON PARNELL.
I'VE ourselves, though far reno red from
the conflict, have had to put our personal
predictions TO an almost intolerable strain
In endeavorlng TO separate our attachment
to an unriyaled Irish leader from our abso-
lutte and overwhelming conviction that to in
duge our personal loyalty to him one mo-
ment longer would be to incur the certain
loss of general election, and make our
selves responsible for the appalling egacy
OF disappointed hopes which the inevitable
triumphs of coercion at tine polls would en-
tall upon our unhappy people"
THEIR POSITION DEFINED.
The signers say that every private and
public utterance OF their lives atlests the
sincerity OF their allegiance to Parnell, aud
lne widest partisan cannot suspect them Of
desire to overthrow his leadership, with
pt q mn -In,, fx,.
months more of our united action would
have brought us to victory" and when any
prolonged period of dissension must involve
certain loss Of tremendous interest to the
state on general election. The signers
seek to impress upon their countrymen the
deep conviction that ParnelPs deplorable
fmputatlons OF mutiny ON the part OF his
colleagues and treachery ON the part of
Gladstone are absolutely baseless and un-
real side issues are raised to divert the iudg-
ment of impulsive Irishmen from the real
issue, which Is, whether it Is possible to
WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION
Under ParnelPs leadership. and if the loss
OF the general election IL the certain and ia
disputable price of retaining him can Par
nell himself or any rational human being
honestly face the future and point to any
ray of definite hope to sustain The unhappy
people? And this in the face of a tri-
umphant Tory majority, and helpless and
divided ireland, with Gladstone gone, his
party estranged from the Irish leaders and
the whole British people angered by the de-
plorable insults to their leaders and rem
dered suspicious by still more deplorable
hints of the insincerity Of all our profess
sions OF friendship. The certainty of dis
astrous general election Parnell cannot
dispute. The horrible consequences that
must ensue in Ireland he can only pretend
to disguise by vague specuations. As to
future Parliamentary strategy, with the
Irish people alone the determination IN ust
a.rn nxrln nfna tar han ,,,f.
taken verdict would be verdict not prompt
and decisive ON one side or the other.
IRELAND MUST DECIDE.
If the Irish people deliberately make up
their minds to sacrifice the general election,
dismiss Gladstone from public life, repel
the British people from our side, face an
other quarter OF a century of parliamentary
paralysis and dreary attempts at iusurrec-
ton, and to do all this on question of
puncilllo as to the terms of his retirement,
the desirability of which Parnell himself
half confesses. then we will bow to the SEN
tence, which will release us from political
lives of ceaseless anxiety and toll. IT. on
the other hand. the overwhelming mass of
thinking lrishmen throughout the world
resolve that they shall not be pushed over
the brink OF this abyss the present ordeal
will be the means Of giving incalcuable aid
to the home-rule cause, as well as of saving
the reputation of our old leader from a fat al
stain. The British people will he finally
and lrreyocably won to the cause of Irish
freedom by the spectacle of how temperate
ly, wisely and firmly the Irish people can
exercise
THE PRIVILEGE OF sELF-GovERNMENT
Even in circumstances of unparalleled ma
tional perplexity and anguish. Ali the
watchful train OF coercionists who are now
eXhorilng Will sustain disappointment. Not
merely Americans of Irish blood, but Amer
leans of every origin and every creed, will
loyfully celebrate The reuEion of the Irish
NationalIstS forces by subscribing whatever
fundS may be necessary to keep the gallant
men who were evicted in I!eland's battle
from the vengeance of the landlord syndi-
Gates and coercloIists in safety and comfort
until the general election sounds their dcliy-
yerance.
SURE VICTORY GUARANTEED.
Whenever the Home Rule Bill comes to
be framed the Irish people are guaranteed
as to the satisfactory nature of its provisions
by their own quiet resOlute strength, and
by every motive Of statesmanship rs well as
honor, that must determine Gladstone to
make the crowning achievement Of his life
work complete and final reconciliation
between the two countries. Finally, our
cause once rescued from its present de adly
peril, our race may rest assured that moth
ing will be left undone to heal whatever
may have been inflicted in the heat
OF strife, and do justice to ParnelPs genius
and his work, so that Ireland may drop
tear over the errors of a passionate hour
and remember only the great Irish!nan and
born leader Of men, who found the Irish
cause plu3ge1 in nelplessness and despair
and whose arm has lifted that cause to the
pinnacle of power and triumph"
THE UNITED IRELAND INCIDENT
In conversation with a representative of
the Associated Press regarding the United
Ireland incident William O'Brien, editor of
that paper, to-day said the dispatches stated
that the edition which PaneIl ATTEMPTED 10
suppress by force was TO contain a bitter at
tack on him. O'Brien cannot believe this,
as when the controversy arose he
cabled instructions to the manager
that II the party decided in favor of
Parnell to hand over the paper to his
authorized agent, and if the decision was
against him to support the party's views
moderately and to see without fail that
nothing personally offensive to Parnell
should appear. He received reply that
these instructions would be obeyed. Re-
