Both Irish Factions Use the Last Moment
i'm Drumming Up Votes.

| PARNELL AND HAhhIxaToN ADpRKss TWO NHRr-
MISUNDERSTANDING AT CoRx on SATURDAY
NIGHT.
The Kilkenny campaign proceeded yesterday.
Mr.. Parnel and Mr.. 8cully, the Pafnellite
| candidate for parliament, left Kilkenny at noon
| and drove in a closed carriage to Clare. They
were accompanied by . long procession Of cars
| filled with Psrnen supporters. Upon arriving
at Clare the Parnellites found meeting pro-
cesding opposite the Catholic chapel in support
| Of Sir John Pope Hennessy. When Mr.. Par
nell reached the crowd priest. Father Walsh,
addressing Mr.. Parnell, said: These are chapel
grounds. You must not speak here" A local
farmer here interposed, saying that the ground
did not belong to the chapel; that 1t was
Keoughs field and that Parnell had a perfect
right to speak there. Mr.. Parnen invited
Father Walsh to hear both Sides Arrange
ments had been made to hold meetings in that
field, he said, and il must proceed. Father
Walsh then requested everybody on his side to
leave with him. and some few persons followed
the priest and Sir Thomas Esmonde, who was
also present.
TWO rARSELL MEETINGS..
A meeting was then organized and Mr.. Par
his party did not have all the clergy on his side
he had no harsh word for any one of them.
He desired the people to listen to the voice Of
the priests and to reverence their position az
priests. Yet as laymen the people could not
permit the priests absolutely to control the
elections. He proceeded to inveigh against the
traitoroua mutineers who were ehfeebling the
party at = most critical moment. After some
further remarks Mr.. Parnell concluded his
speech and leaving Clare, accompanied by Mr..
Scully. drove six miles 10 JUhnswell. where an
other meeting was held. While MIR. Scnliy was
addressing this meeting Mr. Timothy Harring-
ton arrived and was received by the crowd with
much enthusiasm. Being called upon for
speech MIR. Harrington addressed the meeting.
In the course Of his remarks he said that his
colleagues i'll America had been led astray by
messages from this side Of the ocean. We"
he said. ''regretting that the enlightened ma
iority party in parliament had taken leader
bound hand and foot to a British statesman,
asked How much did you give for this mani?
Nothing was better calculated to shame and
discredit the party"
Mr.. Parnell next spoke. He reminded the
electors that they had to deal with English
statecrHft. which was watching to seize every
point of vantage ground that Irishmen surrcn-
dered. 1t was not big board of guardians for
which Ireland cOntended: it was q parliament
that would fully satisfy the aspirations of the
people. To achieve this the people must stand
by their leader and not leave Ireland to the in
capable persons who were trying to step into
his shoes. His opponents had elected an amia-
BILE man quiet. good-hearteds soul. Mccarthy
was the sort of man to ornament quiet and
early ten purity. Laughter.
His opponents had alsc elected eight other
men to take care of their leader. 10 he might
be proud TO find that it took nine men to try to
I'LL his chair when his enemies had succeeded in
dragging him out.
HARRINGTON COULD DISCLOSE SOMETHING.
Mr. II 4.
ing. Speaking Mt Cork, where the mayor pre-
sented an address to him. Mr.. Harrington
commended that. whether or not Parnell action
was right, those who, after re-electing him
leader sought to Dust him, forfeited the conf
denee OF the Irish people. In an interview Mr..
Harrington said he amazed at the action Of
certain members of the Mctarthyite faction in
attacking Parnell from a moral standpoint. He
mid he cOrld throw n strorg sideiight on their
morality which would astonish the public. Al
for Davitt ; opposition. it was dishonest and
unpatriotlc and was simply an OK ression OF
Davitt s old enmity toward Parnell.
AN ANSWER TO DAvITT.
A meeting Of Parnellites was held outside of
Mr.. Parneirs hotel in Kilkenny at o'clock last
evening. Mr.. Parnell addressed the gathering.
He began by telling his hearers that he would
not have troubled them had not Davitt. with An
audncity exceeding even that of the previous
combat accused him Of appealing to the Fenian
sentiment. II have never, said Mr.. Parneil,
appealed to any section, but to the whole Irish
race. IL young men are prominent among my
supporters it is because they know that what
have promised them l will perform | have
never promised to lead them against the armed
might Of England. / have only promised that
II constitutional means failed to win legislative
Independence for Ireland l would instantly re-
turn here at the head Of my party and consul.
fA 4l.A
tCheersl This is the extent aud limi, of my
pledge which made in Cork in 1880. and from
which have never departed one iota.'
Mr.: Davitt made addresses at Gorcsbridge
and Gowran yesterday. In his speech Dir.
DaNitt said that il Sir John Pope Hennessy
were defeated the Irish people would no longer
be able to count upon an alliance with any
English statesman. MIR. Davitt afterward
drove to Gowran. There he met Il party of
Parnellites, whom he tried to convert. but
after arguing with them for some time he left
them apparently unconvinced.
Mr.. Healy, speaking at Ballyfoyle. asked sup
posing Parnell succeeded in ejecting the fifty
three McCarthyites, to what pledge or plat
form would their Successors be bound? Would
!hey De puppets depending upon the personal
lty OF one individual?
At a meeting in Cashel, Tpperary, yester-
day. at which 1000 persons were present. resO-
tions in favor Of Mr.. Mccarthy were unani-
mously adopted.
PLOTTING IN CORK.
Mr.. Timothy Harrington, Mp, arrived Sat
urday night in Cork in company with the
mayor Of that city. number OF Parnellites
had intended to greet him when he landed
from the Aurania in Queenstown and had organ
lied torchhght procession in his honor
They missed being present on the steamer ar
rival. but. nevertheless. they made a demon
stration. assembling on the quay and marching
through the streets, with cheers for Parnell and
groans for Healy. Finally body OF anti-P Par
nelites charged upon the parade and routed
them, throwing their torches into the harbor
The shindy WAS u sharp one and several were
hurt.
At Queenstown, on his arrival. Mr.. Harring-
ton said he believed that if Mr.. Brien had
been at home. or il Mr.. Parnell had seen his
way to retire in accordance with the wishes Of
the majority, the present disastrous crisis
would have been avoided.
Mr. Harrington holds that the majority of the
Irish in America are for Parnell, although. he
says. most OF the dnily newspapers and leading
politicians are against him.
