AFTER THE BATTLE.
KILKENNY, Dec. 23.-In spite of the ex-
citement caused during the last week by
the political struggle which has been TAX
! ing place in this parliamentary district.
and though the actual result of the battle
between the Parnellites and anti-Parnell-
ties was practically in doubt up to the
hour of noon, there was little or no excite
ment in the streets of Kilkenny this morn
| ing. Peace and quiet, outwardly, at
least seemed to reign on all sides, the
streets being the Quietest portions OF the
town. Opposite and about the court house
a small crowd gathered.
Messrs. Parnell, Harrington, Redmond,
Scully, HennesSey and Healey were inside
the court house at an early hour, awaiting
with varying emotions the actual an
nouncement of the result. Though the
Parnellites claimed up TO the last moment
that victory was lowering over their ban
ners, the defeat of their candidate was vir-
tually admitted long before the close of
the polls yesterday Shortly before noon
today Mr.. Davitt came out from the court
house and told the Associated Press cor
respondent that he (the ~orrespondent)
could accept it AS fact that Mr. Hennes-
sey's majority would be about 1900 and
and that the Parnellites had suffered a
hopeless and crushing defeat.
The leading members of the Parnellite
party IN this section, after the announce
ment of the defeat of Mr.. Vincent Scully
had been made, were TO be seen dolefully
parading the court house passages, appar-
emily being in a very Respondent state of
mind. AS d matter of fact, the Parnellites
were not so discouraged Ms they might be
expected to be, for it is admitted that it
was really victory for the priests, and
that had they not adopted the tactics they
did the result of the election might have
been different.
THE PARNELLITES.
Kilkenny. Dec. %. - Immediately
after the announcement OF the
result of the election had been made,
the Parnellites moved in a body to the
front of the court house, and then with a
cheer hoisted Parnell on their shoulders
and gave him a rousng reception. Parnell
was about to makea speech when Timothy
and Maurice Healy appeared among the
crowd. A disgraceful row would have fol-
lowed their appearance had not Parnell
appealed to the police to remove the Healys
This was done and a riot was averted.
Parnell then began speaking. He said he
would not be turned aside from doing his
duty to Ireland seeing that the result of
the Kilkenny election had been brought
about by a conspiracy. lie said ne would !
go through Ireland lighting every election. |
He was confident, he said, of eventual |
Mr.. Vincent Scully will lodge petition
protesting against the election of Sir John |
Pope Hennessey on the ground or undue /
influence on the part of the priests, par
ticularly referring to the priests connec- |
tion with the illiterate voters of Castle /
Conner. Over two hundred votes will also |
be challenged by Mr.. Scully.
