aud not lime, as is said by his supporters

masked, and that his very presence pol
luteS tie soil.

but the police intervened and kept the two
factions apart while the speeches were
being delivered. Mr.. Parnell in thanking
his supporters for the enthusiastic reception
they had given him, pointed Ia self vindicar
tion to the action of Canon Lee of Bray,
'who," said Mr.. Parnell, ''at the meeting
of the chapter Of the Catholic diocese of
Dublin testified that he believed me to be
an honorable man. He knows me thor
oughly, and l thank him. This testimony
in the hour OF my trial will he all powerful

Parneli's -eech t>-day was much longer

III dECOluduEo Wlb1 tnC ulhulLShLO.
Mr.. Parnelps character as revealed In the
divorce court speaks for itself, and since the
verdict he has given further abundant proof
of his untitness for the leadership OF the
Irish PARTY" Canon Lee proceeds at much
length 10 state his opinion that in view of
the excited state of the public feeling, mis-
led as it has been by the FreemG,t'S S Journal
and other papers, it is inexpedient for the
clergy to mix themselves up with violent
meetings.
IN ACCORD WITH THE ARCHBISHOP.
"This opinion" he says, (which l am
happy to know is identical with that of
Archbishop Walsh. gave when the arch
bishop asked me at n recent meeting of tue
Dublin clergy, but l aTn no less clearly of
the opinien. and express myself TO that
effect, that the clergy, as responsible ad-
visors Of the people, have most serious duty
10 discharge-namely, on every suitable
occasion TO impress upon the people and
especially upon the leaders of public affairs,
thet, on abundant grounds, despite his many
previous services, we fad ourselves with
regret forced to the conclusion that we
must regard Mr.. Parnell as q fallen leader
Of the peoples Confidence learnes:ly hope
that the progress Of events will not compel
us to adopt an attitude Of more active in
terventlon."
The Freemdn's Journal refused to print
the foregoing letter.
