sons followed the priest and Sir Thomas

EASY ON THE PRIESTS.

Parnell made an address. He said that
although his party did not have all the
clergy on his side, he had no harsh words
for any one of them. He desired the people
to listen to the voice Of the priests and to
reverence their position as priests. Yet as
laymen the people could not admit the
priests absolutely to control elections. He
proceeded, inveighing against the "trait-
9rous mutineers who were enfeebling
She party at the most critical
moment" He asked his hearers to con-
slider his political past and look into his
innermost heart and say whether theg
found any wrong there as regarded his
guidance OF the national policy [Cries of
NO, nc. N He could not look the assem-

colleagues in America had been led astray by
messanges from this side of the ocean.
"We," he said, "regretting that the on
lightened majority of the party in parlia-
ment had taken a leader bound hand and
foot to the British statesman ask, how
much did you give for this manP' Nothing
was better calculated to shame and dis
credit the party.
COPING WITH ENGLISH sTATECRAFT.
Mr.. Parnell spoke next. He reminded
the electors that they had to deal with En-
glsh statecraft, which was watching to
seize every point of vantage ground that
lrishmen surrendered. Ii was not a big
board OF guardians for which Ireland con-
tended, it was parliament that would
fully satisfy the aspirations of
Ihe people, To achieve this, the
people must stand by their
leader, and not leave Ireland to the incapa-
Die persons who were trying to step into his
shoes. His opponents had elected an amiable
mana quiet, good hearted soul. Mccarthy
was the sort of man to ornament a quiet
and early tea party. [Laughter.l
GUARDIANS FOR MCCARTHY.
His opponents should also elect eight
other men to take care of their leader: so
he might be proud TO find that it took nine
men to try to fill his chair when his
enemies had succeeded in dragging him out.
lie knew every one of these men, and from
the depths of his heart he could
say that he thought he could
leave the destinies of Ireland safely
In their guardianship, he would cheerfully
and willingly step down apd aside. But be
knew such thing was impossible, AID it
would be towards part to leave his coun-
try to be torn asunder by twenty factions
contending for power and place. The men
opposing him were not elected to sit in
judgment upon him. They had no
authority through the voice of the
people. Until Ireland gave him his
dismissal he would regard hims elf
as commanding officer. carrying the ma
tlonal banner through the ranks of the foe.
lCheers.] He believed Kilkenny would de-
cide Tor them. If not. he would be down
hearted, but would still hold aloft the flg
until every constituency in Ireland had had
an opportunity of declaring its Judgment in
clear voice. [Cheers. Mr.. Parnell returned
10 Kilkenny this evening.
PARNELL GOING TO PARIS.
Mr.. Parnell goes to Avondale after the
eiectlon In Kilkenny, and will proceed
thence to Paris to confer with William
O'Brien.
Mr.. Davitt made addresses at Cores

,, Mr.. Healy, speaking at Baliyfoyle. asked
II MIR. Parnell succeeds in ejecting che fifty
tnree McCarthyites to what pledge or plat
form would their successors be bound.
would they be puppets depending on the
personality of one individual? If Mr.. Par
nell had been actuated by singleness Of
purpose he could have fulfilled
MS mission far more effectually
without dividing the country. He (Mr.
HeaIy) would not accept the proposition
tnat Ireland could find no political salvation
save In Pope Parnell the First.
AT meeting in Cashel, Tipperary, to-
Gay, In which 1000 persons were present,
resolutions in favor Of MIR. Mccarthy were

THE APPEAL TO FENIANISM.
In his speech at Goresbridge, Mr.. Davitt
sad that if Sir John Pope Hennessy were
Ieleated, the Irish people would no longer
Le aole to count upon an alliance with any
English statesman. Mr.. Parnell, be CON
uhued, had in desperation appealed to
tle hillside men and TO the fenian
eenViment of the country. 1t would be
criminal folly for him or any other man TO
ask the young men of. Ireland TO face the
ooVerwhelmipg might OF England in the
Heio. MIR. Parnell himself would be the last
man TO lead the way TO this policy Of mad
ness ana desperation, and he was olly maxi
!ug his appeal in the hope Of snatchiug vic
tory IN Kilkenny.
