The Irish Leader Confident of Eventual Tri

uuph-Ine Healys MenAced.
Immediately after the sheriff had announced
the result of the polling in Kilkenny yesterday
afternoon the Parnellites present moved in q
body to the front Of the court house and then
with cheer they hois.ed Mr.. Parnell upon
their shoulders and gave him what may be
termed rousing reception. Mr.. Parnen was
upon the point of making a speech to his fol-
lowers when Timothy and Maurice Healy ap-
peared among the crowd. The Parnellites re-
sented the so-callcd intrusion by assuming
menacing attitudes and giving vent to various
threats. which implied personal violence to the
He:lys III case they did not leave the
scene. Finally Mr.. Parnell, in order
to prevent what seemed likely to
be disgraceful row. asked the
police who were guarding the court house to
induce the Healys to withdraw. as their
presence was causing disturbance. The
police promptly acted upon Mr.. Parnells sug-
gestlOn and the Heal vs. were eventually pre-
vailed upon to depart from the scene under
police protection. While the Healys we're
being escorted out Of danger Mr.. Parnell
diverted the attention of the crowd by resum-
ing Ills attempt to make IA speech to his follow
ers, saying that he would not be turned aside
from his determination to do his duty to Ire
land seeing that the result of the contest in
North Kilkenny was brought about by con-
spiracy. Mr.. Parnen added that he would 90
through Ireland fighting every election and
that he felt confident of eventual triumph.
The first public meeting of the MCCarthyite
committee took place in Dublin yesterday. 1t
Ia almost needless to add that everybody pres
ent was filled with enthusiasm over the result
OF the recent political contest in North Kill
kenny.
The carriage Of Archbishop Croke awaited
Sir John Pope Hennessy at Thurles yesterday.
The arrival of Sir John in town was the signal
for rival demonstrations by the two factions.
Mr.. Michael Davitt's newspaper. the Labor
World, yesterday renewed the onslaught re-
Gently made upon Mr.. Parnell through its col
umns. During the course of lengthy attack
upon the "UncrOwned King the Labor World
says that If by any compromise Mr.. Parnell re-
mains leader of the Irish party a number of
anti-Parnell members threaten to abandon pub.
lie life, which would be disastrous to the party
at large.
DILLON AND o'CoNNoR PLEASED.
John Dillon and T. P. OConnor were seen in
New York yesterday afternoon and asked for
an interview ON the result of the Kilkenny cleo
ton in Ireland. After much persuasion they
said: I'VE learned the result of the Kilkenny
election with great pleasure. The majority is
greater than we had hoped for. 1t is vindi-
cation OF the patriotism and sagacity of the con-
stituency, because it shows that consideration
of the good Of the country and safety of the
national cause have prevailed with the electors
over natural feelings of gratitude and affection
for great leader like Mr.. Parnell, which have
blinded 40 many to the true issues at stake
The result of the election offers, in our iudg-
ment, chance of reuniting our party and we
earnestly hope that both sides will now Coop
crate with Mr.. U Brien in bringing about q re-
union In the Irish national ranks"
