VORCE SCANDAL.

Only Thing for Him to Do-The Irish
Leaders Boast That They Win Stand

Press.
DUBLIN, Nov. lS.--A meeting of the ma.
tional league was held in this city to-day.
Edmund Leamy. NJ. P. for South Sligo,
presided. He made an address. in which,
referring to the reports of the withdrawal
of Mr.. Parnell from the leadership of the
nationalist party, he said that Mr.. Par
nell was the chosen leader of the party, and
that the party would stand by him. while
he stood by them. He would lead the
party in parliament during the coming ses-
sion, and the Irish people would be more
than ever devoted TO him.
LOYALTY OF HIS COLLEAGUES
John Redmond, member of parliament
for North Wexford, ridiculed the idea of
MIR. Parnell being prejudioed in politics by
the verdict in the O'jhea case. His col
leagues, he said, were bound TO him by un-
failing loyalty. Never in the career OF the
nationalists were the members of the party
more determined to stand by Mr.. Parnell
MIR. Redmond's remarks were greeted with
cheers.
Joseph Kenny. member OF parliament for
South Cork. and other leaders spoke in
similar strain.
ALL OF ONE MIND.
There was a large attendance of Irish
members Of parliament at the league meet
ing, all OF whom agreed that Mr. Parnell
should retain the leadership of the Nation
alist party. They all said that English or
Scotch opinion on the subject bad nothing
TO do with the matter. The meeting closed
with cheers for the leader Of the Irish party.
OTHER SCANDALS THRUST FORWARD.
The FreemGn's Journal commenting upon
the outcome OF the O'Shea case and the
predictions that have been made concerning
its effects upon Mr.. Parnelrs future, recalls
the private lives of the Duke of Yelling
ton, Lord Nelson, Lord Palmerston and a
number Of other prominent personages.

subjects Of scandals similar to
that in which Mr.. Parnell is
now involved. The Journal says that the
gable about the social ostraclsm to which
Mr. Parneh will be subjected is absurd, be-
cause he never went into society. The
pastors charged with his moral well being
are NOT the pastors of majority of the
Irish people 1t is neither our duty nor our
province to adjudge his private life, nor to
examine his conscience.
IRELAND's ONLY BUSINESS WITH HIM.
Irelsnds business with him is entirely OF

and successfully served the country, and
has brought her out of bondage and led
her TO within sight OF the promised land.

leader of the Irish nationalists.
The Pau Mall Gazette says: ut is Mr..
Parnell's duty to the Irish people. their

of the Irish bishops and their English allies
are likely to hold the opinion that Mr.. Par

the unionists, the Gazette says,
70 havs Mr.. Parnell remain and tar
the whole Home Rule party with the dirty
brush with which he has besmirche him
self, than to have him resign. A wiss and
honorable man would temporarily retire
and would repair by marriage the false
position in which he has put his partner in
his offense"

A rumor is current that Mr.. Parnel will
retire from active political life and that he
will marry Mrs. O'Shea as soon as the law

that ne has promised to give continuous
advice to his successor in the leadership of
the Nationalist party. II is an undeniable
fact that the virulence against Mr.. Parnell
displayed by the Tory papers ip their
editorials is causing a reaction of public
sentiment in his favor.
DR.. Parker of the Temple says he con-
siders Parnell bound TO surrender the lead
ership of the Irish party. "The better the
cause" said the doctor, "the cleaner should
be the hands that handle IT,"
