night at Urlingford, whence he drove this
morning to Bathdowney. Davitt and Tan

avowed intention of confronting Par
nell publicly. Messrs. Harrison O'kel-
ley, Edward Harrington and Joseph
Nolan, members of Parliament, Joined
Psrnell at the Odessa Hotel. Here
a deputation of tensntry farmers
from the Aghadoe, Galway, branch of the
League, presented an address, declaring
confidence in Parnell. In expressing MS
thanks for the address, Parnell said he re-
joiced to see so many sIerling farmers
among the people rallying around him. 1t
was an assurance that Irishmen never more
would submit to English dictation. The
seal of Kilkenny would be put upon his 10
years work. [Cheers.]
Lively Meetings of Both Parties.
Harrison then addressed the deputation.
He said he regretted that the Irish members
of Parliament opposing Mr.. Parnell had
music halls, hurling a woman's name at
their former leader. [Cries of "Shame,
and "Dlrty Tim Healy."l 1t was unmanly,
ungenerous and un-Irish. [Cheers.

Davitt and Tanner arrived and began to
speak from wagons in the market square.
Several hundred persons were grouped
around Tanner, who in his speech said that
the Irish party could not white
wash Mr.. Parnell Proceeding in
his address, he complained of his
old leader calling the seceders Gutter
sparrows." Then stopping suddenly and
pointing to Parnell, who was leaving the
hotel in a carriage and driving of, he
shouted: "He is clearing out now
"Tallyho, the fox has got away!'
No Cheers for Parnen.
This sally was greeted with roars of
laughter and cheers. Parnell and party,
avoiding Market square, managed to effect
their departure without any collision of the
factions. As they were passing through the
village of Durrow, a crowd of peasants gave
cheers for William O'Brien, whereupon Mr..
Harrington called for cheers for Dillon.
They were freely given, but there was no
response to his call for cheers for Parnell.

Church, in Ennis yesterday, Parnell was
vehemently denounced by tine priests, on
both moral and political grounds. A num-
Der of persons in consequence of this

| cathedral abstained making any comments
on the case. The clergymen in Galway
called meeting to-day to denounce Par
nell, but their project was spoiled by the
supporters and friends of Parnell, who
filled the hall, took possession of the plat
form and ran the meeting to suit themselves.
They passed resolutions calling on Mr..
Jinkerton, NJ. P. for the borough, to resign.
