THE ANTI-PARNELL MANIFESTO.
/ The anti-Parnell members of the Irish
parliamentary party have issued their
| promised manifesto to the Irish people. In
| this they say:
| Feeling bound to protect our country's cause,
| at whatever personal sacrifice we found our
| selves under the sad necessity of terminating
| Mr.. Parhel's leadership 1t would have been
easier to have left him Undisturbsd; but such
| course would have left every man Of us S
tratort his country. Mr. Parnell, disregartlIng
| our appeals to remember his country evlnced
| an iil-judged determination to maintain his un-
| tenRble position, thus threatening 70 plunge
| Ireland into conflict which may overwhelm
her and cause her present fair prospects to dis
| appear forever IL Is the duty of Irishmen now,
| Irrespective of all consideration of feelings,
| either for Mr.. Parnell or thoss differing from
| him. to adopt the course that will tend to save
| Irela d from destruction
WILL ABIDE IREL AND's JUDGMENT.
After detailing various reasons for their
! action the signers Of the manifesto add that
VIII Atever judgment Ireland may lass on
| the manifesto her cause hangs on the issue,
and tie signers will abide by that jIdg-
ment, they being the nations servants.
Tney enumerate the charges against Mr.
Parnell as follows:
]. He speaks as it he has been the Injured
party, whereas he alone is Responsible for the
present deplorable situation.
2. He pleagsd himself to repel the charges
in connection with the O'Shea case, but when
the time came to do this he remained silent.
3. He does not hesitate TO renounce and de-
nounce multitudes OF English friends of Irish
liberty rs English wolves.
l. But English wolves and Irish bishops ex-
press the same opinion OF Mr.. Parneli, and he
cannot mend matters by calling nicknames
8 The reminder of the Leinster re election
was the mo st ungenerous taunt ever uttered
CAUSE OF HIS REELECTION.
The position OF the signers before Ireland
is dwalt upon at length. They set forth
that Mr.. Parnells reelection was due to
gratitude for past services, and his deoosi-
ton to the fact that If he continued as
leader the struggle might as we'll have been
abandoned.
AN OBSTRUCTION TO THE CAUSE.
The manifesto says:
He tParnelD must DO aware that his person
alitv obstructs the efforts for freedom and
leaves Ire and with nothing for many years but
the abominable system Imposed by the present
government. Ii he is re elected the tory gov
ernment will resume power, coercion receive
a new lease and the struggle for home rule be
lost to the living generation. TAe final ques-
ton which rests with the Irsn nation is Lose
all for Parnell, or win all without him?' Home
rule with Gladstone is safe.
The signers say they refuse to abandon
Mr. Gladstone for Wr. Parneil or to insist
on the liberal leader revealing his plans for
home rule, which action they say would be
foolishly to give an advantage to Ireland's
enemies.
GLADSTONE NOT Debating.
The sgners refuse to believe that Mr.
Gladstone desires TO dictate. He was bound
to publish his conviction that the retention
of Mr. Parnell in the leadership Of the irish
party would wreck h me rule. w Wly should
a man Of 81 waste the brief remaining years
of his life In a struggle foredoomsd to
failure.
The signers offered Mr.. Parnell an oppor-
tunity Of temporary retirement with view
to his g egentual reinstatement, but it never
gave the faintest chance OF settlement
His fatal manifesto was an appeal 70 the
hatred between the peoale Of Great Britain
and Ireland, and makes it impossible for
him hereafter to cooperate with the liberal
party.
The signers never deserted Mr.. Parnell.
but he them, and the honor Of Ireland IS
safe in their hands through good or evil
fortune.
The signers of tho manifesto pledge them
selves to remain an Independent party, thus
insurlng final victory for tne Irish cause
under the auspices Of the alliance OF the
British democracy and Irish people.
Tho manifesto concludes thus:
FELLow CoUSrRYBAg--The issue we submit
% you Is one upon which the fortunes of our
country must depend. May God defend the right
There are forty.seven signatures attached
20 the manifesto, healed by that OF justin
Mccarthy.
