and other Parnellites drove up 20 the
lower part OF the mark. Redmond began
speaking simultaneously with Davitt.
Another crowd headed by Mr.. Tanner

party Of his supporters made their APP
pearance. They were greetedb shouts
Of: Italy ho! the fox, behind Kitty's
skirts" and other offensive cries from

faction replied with equally violent at
tacl<s upon their enemies

most general. blackthorns and ash
plant sticks being used vigorously.

and was pretty badly used up before he
was compelled to desist from his pur-
pose Of meeting Parnell face TO face
