Course Taken by Mr.. Gladstone-Da-
Wits Paper Urges Retirement-The
Priests of Ireland Opposed to Mass
Meetings in Parnelrs Favor.
LONDON, Nov. 27.-Mr Davitt will pub
lish tomorrow an appeal to the Irish race
at home and abroad. He implores the
people TO rise and show themselves equal to
the present emergency, and says that if Mr.
Parnell remains at the head Of the party
there can be no hope Of saving the cause of
Ireland. Ireland's party, he says, contains
more than one man who IS capable of lead
ing it to victory, and there is sufii-
cient patriotism in the party to fol-
low the leader chosen from its own ranks
by majority of its members. In conclu-
sion. he says whatever decision may be
made the Irish cause is imperishable, and he
asks the people to pray God that wisdom
and courage may guide those upon whom
lreland's hopes are centered.
MUST VOTE WANT OF CONFIDENCE.
The Eoening Telegraph asks why Par
nell, elected unanimously to the Irish leader
ship twenty-four hours before, should have
voluntarily eiFaced himself by retiring. 1t
continues: 'If the Irish party, on Mr..
Gladstone's demand. wished to recant, Mr..
Parnell is right to demand solemn vote of
want OF confidence, in which every member
must take part, each member assuming
the responsibility Of his vote be
fore the Irish people. The business
is too gigantic and momentouS to permit of
the acceptance OF clandestine adjustment
as final settlement Whatever is done
ha daria IT, -, e
the nation. The Irish race everywhere
must know how each member of the party
elected to support and not to depose him
deals with him. When concave of
the Irish Darty shall have decided the
issue, the Irish nation will demand the right
TO be heard in final review of the decision.
A national convention has been held in Ire
land for the solution OF less perilous
problems. The Telegraph vehemently urge
the country to stand by Mr. Parnell aud
stitfen the waverers.
PARNELL AGAIN GAINS.
Timothy Healy and Mr. Parnell had a
conference to day in tine library of the
House Of Commons. The feeling among
the nationalist members Of Parliament is
more favorable TO Mr.. Parnell than on
Tuesday or yesterday, and the opinion pre-
walls that at o meeting which is to be held
Monday next they will sustain him.
The Labor World, Mr.. Davitt's paper,
says:
Mr.. Parnell declines to yield TO the prayers
and requests of his friends. The promptings Of
duty, patriotism and honor are stfed and in their
place are the workings of hidden influences,
which, if permitted a free rein, will ruin for a
generation the chances Of home rule,
OPPOSITION OF THE LIBERALS.
Lord Spencer in a speech at Bromley this
evening said the opinion of the
liberals of England was clearly and
Enthusiastically against Mr.. Farnelli
continuance in the leadership of his
party. The electors rightly put high value
upon the character of public men. Mr.. Glad
stones letter had struck a note in
harmony with the feelings of all liberals.
The Irish party, Lord Spencer said, had
been too severely criticized on account of
the attitude they had taken, but he could
not blame them for not repudiating Mr..
Parnell at once [cries of 'Hear, hear" ].
They owed debt of the deepest gratltade
to Mr.. Parnell.
HONORED FOR THEIR LOYALTY.
The members OF the Irish party were not
Indifferent to moral considerations, but
loyalty to their trusted leader had made
them hesitate before pronouncing against
him. He honored them for not in a moment
throwing over their leader. When the
higher consideration Of the permanent well
fare OF the country came into operation
they would respond to the appeal Of the
Parnell to retire. If they did
not do this the irish cause would
be rolled back and the ship which was just
at the mouth of the harbor would he driven
by the storms out into the ocean. 1t would
be mighty misfortune to both Ireland
and the empire. The liberals, even if Mr..
Parnell remained at the head of his party,
would not alter their opinions. They would
still resist coercion, but they would cut
away the old policy and try q new one.
[Cheers.]
PARNELL NOT DEPRESSED.
Mr. Parnell had frequent conversation:
with Mr.. Healy during the day, but the
latter is very reticent, and refuses to say
anything about the Irish leaders, intentions
Mr.. Parnell appears to be in buoyant spirit
and splendid health.
A noticeable incident occurred in the
House of Commons when Mr.. Parnell wen
to record his vote on Mr.. Laboucheret
amendment. In going from his seat Mr.
Parnell had to pass the liberal benches, anc
it was remarked that his late allies studi
ously ignored him.
1t is Stated that if Mr.. Parnell remains il
the leadership of the Irish party Mr. Sex
ton ard other Irsh members OF parliamen
will apply for the Chiltern hundreds anC
offer themselves for reelection in order t.
test the feeling of the electors.
AN UNUSUAL MOVEMENT.
When the Parnellites were fiocking int
the division lobby to vote on Mr.. Labou
chere's amendment, there was g sudden
unusual movement, which was seemingly
instigated by Mr.. Healy, who, with Mr.
Sexton and large contingent, turned bacl
and abstained from voting, while Mr. Par
nell, Mr.. Power and about thirty Others
supported the government.
After the house rose a hurried meeting o.
the nationalists was called in the confer
epce room. Mr.. Parnell was not present
The meeting was held ostensibly for thC
purp2se of arriving at an agreement not tx
mention recent events publicly until afte
the meeting on Monday, but great secrecy
was observed as to what was really done.
A DENIAL BY SEXTON.
Mr.. Sexton emphatically denies the state
ment that he was aware OF the existence o
Mr.. Gladstone's letter to Mr.. Morley at th'
time the nationalist meeting was held OF
Tuesday. The whole party is annoyed q
the leaking out of the proceedings OF tn
meeting, as it indicates violation OF tn
pledge If secrecy.
Sir William Marriott Conservative speak
ing at Brighton said that the rumors OF
speedy dissolution Of parliament were base
less. Lord Salisbury, he declared, wouiC
never take advantage OF a social scandal O.
