MANIFESTO.
LONDON, Dec. 10-The nti-Parnell men,
bers of the Irish Parliamentary rarity have
issued manifesto to the Irish people. In
ths they say, in part: "Parnell, disregard
Ing our appeals 10 remember the country,
ev!nced an lll-Judged determination to MAIN
tam his untenable position, thus threa ,ening
to plunge Ireland into a conflict which may
oVerwhelm her and cause her present fair
prospects to disappear forever. 1t is the
DUTY OF lrlShmen now, irrespective of all
consideration of feelings. either for Parnell
or these differing from him, to adopt course
that viii tend to save Ireland from destrGc-
tion."
CHARGES AGAINST PARNEIL
The signers enumerate at length the rea-
sons for their action. They specify the
enaIses against Parnell as follows: First
he speaks as if he was the injured party,
whereas he alone is responsible for the
present depiorable situation.
Second, he pledged himself to repel the
charges In connection with the O'Shea case,
but when the time came he remained
silent.
Third, he does not hesitate to renounce
and denounce the multitude of English
friends of Irish liberty as English wolves
r: Fourth the English wolves and Irish
bishops express the same opinion of Par
neil, and he cannot mend matters by calling
nlckGames. If Parnell is reelected the
Tory Government will resume its power, CO.
erclon receiYe>a new lease and the struggle
for home rule will be lost to the living gen.
