SuaAu Vi -uV supporters OF 1arneiI 5 leader

from Dublin were on the pier to receive
him. DR.. Fitzgerald, Leamy, Darlington
and Edward Harrington were the first
members of Parnell's party to leave the

othy Healy, Maurice Healy and Kenny,
opponents of Parnell, travelled in the same
boat, and as they came ashore they were
subject to hostile demonstrations by the
crowd, while there were shouts of Par

Parnell was the last to quit the boat. As
he proceeded to the train the crowd be-
came enthusiastic in its demonstrations.
lie was cheered again and again. The
town clerk of Kingstown presented Parnell
with an address expressing admiration of
his '.resolute resistance of the insolent
dictation of Gladstone and assuring him
of support in his ''noble work" The ad-
dress contained this declaration: "The
people will not accept any home rule
scheme not giving the people full control
of police and power to settle the land ques-
tion.'
In speech Parnell said he was confident
that with the youth of Ireland on his side
he would win. The Parneil leadership
committee presented Parnell with an ad-
dress emphasizing in the strongest manner
condemnation of the miserable and con-
temptible position" the ''seceders'' had
assumed.
The train then pulled out, and after a
short run arrived at Dublin, where a large
crowd had assembled. As soon as the
train stopped Timothy Healy hurriedly
descended from the coach, fled and drove
away. He was recognized by the crowd
however, before he reached cab, and was
greeted with groans and "Chief Justice
Healy."
The crowd was so dense that Parnell
with difficulty made his way through. He
finally reached a cab which he entered
with Joseph f. Kenny. A crowd sur
rounded the cab, embarrassed the horse,
and drew him through the dark streets
until they reached Kenny's house. As the
cab rolled along the streets the crowd fol-
lowed singing, :" God save Ireland" The
pace was quick and gave active exercise to
dozen stalwart policemen who followed
Upon arrival at kenny's house Parnell
made a brief speech to the crowd.

dragged the carriaget to the rotunda. Par
nell received an ovation all along the route,
and at the rotunda experienced the great
est difficulty in getting into the hall, which
was packed to suffocation. The cheering
when he reached the platform continued
several minutes, after which q vote of con-
fdence in Parnell was passed. In his
speech he said:
have been accused of absence from the field
of battle. 1t is easy to make excuses for seces-
sion and detection, but when the day comes for
measuring the amount of my shortcomings and
those of my opponents, the balance will not be
against me. [Shouts of 'Down with the rene
gades."1 / did not plead sickness, though God
knows it was not time, when was crippled in
health and strength, to comfort one with move

face All, yes; they thought was dead, and
that they might play around my corpse and di-
vert the Irish nation from the true issues.
Now l suppose this is great crisis. Who made
it? Is it you, or who? Voices: sold Glad

who did this deadly thing against our race. We
shall know where to afx the stain they sought
to attach to me. was anxious to assuage this:
10 give Ireland breathing time; to postpone the
terrible issue. Why was ] refused an
opportunity? Why did Gladstone wait
nine days after the verdict and allow
the Leinster meeting before limiting
that my retention was dangerous? Had he but
whispered that my retirement was necessary, l
should have hastened to consult my comrades
and rescue them from the position in which
they had placed themselves by the Leinster reso-
luton. We are here today TO say to Gladstone
1--WE respect you in your position: we ackIlowl-
edge your Immortality and strength, and the
power exhibited by you on so many diverse and
great battle-ields; but we decline to fuse with
you; we decline to surrender to you
the independence which has produced
In your mind the condition in which you are
today, and which, please God, viii continue till
ii las produced the fruition of our hopes. The
message that Ireland sends to the Grand Old Man
is this: Resume your place as the leader OF your
yarty; back up your legitimate authority, and
when you have put yourself in the position OF
an independent leader, such as ours is then,
and not until then, viii we allow our leader 10
treat with YOU upon those equal terms which
alone can assure lasting and permanent settle
1nent. tGreat cheering.l
ParneIl said that if the movement against
him was earnest he would yield to it inn
mediately. but, said he, it is a movement
of hypocrisy by q man whose home rule
was skin deep. but whose hatred for Ire
land was not skin deep. The main features
of the movement are alteration Of judg-
ment and invincible ignorance. He con-
tinued:
need not dwell on my defense; ii viii be
known some day. prolonged cheering and
waving of hats / could not come among you
tonight unless knew there was another side to
the question, and that you would be content to
wait before deciding that ara too unworthy to

which. please God, viii enter with you. lCries
