A number of addresses were presented

THE ARRIVAL AT DUBLIN.
The train then pulled out, and after a
short run. arrived at Dublin, where a
large crowd had assembled. AS soon as
the train stopped, Timothy Healy hur-
riedly descended from coach, entered
cab and drove away. He was recog-
reaching the cab, and was greeted with
groans and shouts of "Chief Justice
Healy." The crowd was so dense that
Parnell, with difficulty, made his way
through. Finally he reached cab, en-
tered with Joseph Kenny, and drove to
Kenny's house. AS the cab rolled along
the streets, crowd followed, singing
"God save IrelandI" The pace was
quick and gave active exercise to the
dozen stalwart policemen who followed.

made a brief speech to the crowd. Later
in the day he attended meeting of the
committee of the National league
On the street today hostile crowd
threatened Healy, who was compelled
to seek protection from the police.
THE LION OF THE HOUR.
This evening a great procession
formed at the Mansion house, and when
Parnell reached his carriage the horses
were unhitched and score OF enthus1-
astic men dragged the carriage to the
rotunda. Parnell received an ovation
all along the route, and at the rotunda
experienced the greatest difficulty in
getting into the hall, which was packed
to suffocation. The cheering when he
reached the platform continued several
minutes, after which a vote of conf
dence in Parnell was passed.
SPEECH BY PARNELL.
In his speech, he said: have been
accused of absence from the field of bat
tie. 1t is easy to make excuses for Sc
cession and detection, but when the dav
comes for measuring the amount of my
shortcomings and those of my oppo-
nents, the balance will not be against
me. [Shouts of "Down with the rene
gades!"] | did not plead sickness,
though God knows it was not the time,
when | was crippled in health and
strength, to confront me with move
ment of mutiny, stronger, more vindic-
tive, disgraceful and cowardly ferries OF
"Healy"] than ever a commander-in-
chief was called upon to face. All, yes +!
they thought that was dead, and that
they might play around my corpse and
divert the Irish nation from the true
issues. Now l suppose this is a great
crisis. Who made it? Is it you
the hypocrite."l We shall see
some day who did this deadly thing
against our race. We shall know where
to afix the stain they sought to attach
to me. I was anxious to assume this
trial; to give Ireland breathing time
to postpone the terrible issue. Why
was refused an opportunity Why
did Gladstone wait nine days after the
verdict, and allow the Leinster meeting,
before limiting that my retention was
dangerous? Had he but whispered that
my retirement was necessary, should
have fastened to consult my comrades
and rescue them from the impossible
position in which they placed them
selves by the Leinster resolution. We
are here today to say to Gladstone: "We
respect you in your position; we ac
knowledge your Immortality, and the
strength and power exhibited by
you on SO many divers and great
battle fields; but we decline to fuse with
you; we decline to surrender to you our
independence, which, please God, will
continue till it has produced 3 frution
OF our hopes" The messe u that Ire
land sends to the grand old man is this /:
Resume your place as leader Of your
party; back up your legitimate author
ity, and when you have put yourself in
