TIE IRISH ENJOYS
In the United States Issue a
Manifesto.
THE LEADERSHIP QUESTION
Thoroughly Discussed-Reasons Why 1t Is
Desirable that Parnell Should Retire
Parnen Recaptures United Ireland.

New YORK, Dec 1.-THE Irish ENJOYS
now in this city issued long manifesto to-
night. They say when they reached this
country six weeks ago the Irish cause
marching to certain victory. 1t was con-
ceded on both sides that general election
must bring home rule majority; the dis
solution of parliament could not be de-
ferred beyond two years, and would prooa
bly, take place within twelve months. All
that was necessary to secure triumph, was
that the delegates should raise the
necessary funds to preserve the
evicted tenants from destruction and
keep their organization uncrushed, SO as to
force the coercion government to face
general election in the safe condition of alb
ject failure which the gallantry Of the Irish
/ tenautry had kept it in throughout five
! years of incessant conflict with coercion.
IN less than two weeks they had secured
nearly 100000, and il was certain d suffi-
Gent 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 or PaTnelPS
| charges, says in part: Hints of treachery
on the part Of British statesmen have not
lost their power over people only too well
accustomed to the tradition of British IN
faithfulness by their unhappy history. 1t
is easy TO understand the influence upon
our warm hearted colleagues and fell
low cOuntrymen of appeals to their
feelings such as these, and urged with
all the authority Of Parnell's name and
with the deXterity and magnetic power OF
which he is master. We ourselves, though
far removed from the conflict, have had to

intolerable strain in endedvoring to separ-
ate our attachment to the unrivalled Irish
leader for our absolute and overwhelming
conviction that to indulge our personal 10y
atty to him one moment longer would be TO
incur the certain loss of the general cleo
ton, and make ourselves responsible for
the appalling legacy of devastated hopes
the polls would entail upon our unhappy
people,
The signers say every private and public
utterance of their lives attests the sin
cerity OF their allegiance to Parnell, and
the widest partisan can not suspect them
OF a desire TO overthrow his leadership
without terrific cause at this moment, when
four months more of united action would
have brought US to victory, and when any
prolonged period of dissension mustinvolVe
the certain loss of the tremendous inter
ests at stake on the general election.
The Signers seek to impress upon their
countrymen the deep conviction that Par
nelPs deplorable imputations of mutiny on
the part OF his colleagues and treachery on
the part of Gladstone are absolutely base
less and unreal. The side issue raised to
divert the judgment Of impulsive Irishmen
from the real issue, is whether
, it is possible to win the general
election under Parnelrs leadership and If
the loss OF the general elections is the Ger

human being honestly face the future and
point to any ray of definite hope to sustain

a triumphant Tory major ty and a helpless
and divided Ireland with Gladstone gone,

deplorable insults to their leader, and rem
