Scully, the Parnellite candidate for par
lament, left here at noon for Clare. They
were accompanied by n long procession
of cars filled with ParnelPs supporters.
Upon arriving at Clare, the Parnellites
found meeting proceeding opposite the
Catholic chapel, in support OF John Pope
Hennessy. When Parnell reached the
crowd, priest, Father Walsh, address
ing Parnell, said:
These are chapel grounds. You must
not speak here.n
A local farmer here interposed, saying
the grounds did not belong 10 the chapel,
and that Parnell had a perfect right 10
speak there. Parnell said arrangements
had been made TO hold meeting in the
field and il must proceed.
Father Walsh then requested everybody
on his side 10 leave with him and some
few persons followed the priest and Sir
Thomas Esmonde, who was also present.
A meeting was then organized and Par
nell made an address. He said although
his party did not have all the clergy on
his side, he had no harsh words for any
one OF them Of them.
After some other remarks Parnell con-
cluded his speech, and leaving Clare
accompanied by Scully, drove six miles
TO Johnswell, where another meeting was
held. Parnell reminded the electors that
they had To deal with English statecrafi,
which would seize every point of vantage

ment that would fully satisfy the aspira-
tions of the people. To achieve this the
people must stand by their leader and
not leave Ireland to incapable persons
who were trying TO step into his shoes.
The men opposing him were not elected
TO sit in judgment upon him. Until Ire
land gave him his dismissal he would re-
gard himself as her commanding officer,
carrying the national banner through the
ranks OF the foe.
Parnell returned to Kilkenny this eve
ming.
DUBLIN, Dec. 2l.-Timothy Harrington
arrived last night in Cork in company
with the mayor Of that city. The Parnell-
ties had intended to greet him when
he landed from the Aurania in
| Queenstown, and had organized
torchlight procession in his honor. They
missed being present on the steamers ar
rival, but nevertheless made demoDstra-
tion. Finally body Of anti-Parnellites
charged upon the paraders and routed
them. throwing their torches into the har-
Dor. Several people were hurt.
Harrington holds that a majority OF the
Irish in America are for Parnell, though.
he says, s,most Of the daily newspapers and
leading politicians are against him.
Harrington, at Queenstown, said he be-
leved If O'Brien had been at home, or il
Parnell had seen his way to retire in ac-
cordance with the wishes of the majority,
the present disastrous crisis would have
been avoided. He supposed, however,
that Parnell had good reasons for the
course he adopted. Harrington further
said he regretted the personalities in
which both sides indulged. He was sur
prised that Parnell had descended to the
use OF scurrilous language and had applied
offensive epithets to his late colleagues.
The unfortunate split in the party,
he said. had frustrated the objects of the
American mission which II would be USE
less TO renew at present, for while Irish
men were in their present bewildered
state they would refuse 10 listen TO ap-
peals from either party.
Speaking at Cork, when the mayor
presented an address to him, Harrington
contended that, whether or not Parnell's
action was right, those who, after re-
electing him leader, sought to oust him,
forfeited the confidence Of the Irish peo-
pie. The English democracy, he de-
clared, would support home rule, and IL
was only necessary to bring up 10 the

in getting places after the general cleo
tion. Parnell was not a mere political
leader, but rather general OF the coun.

ever men might shake their heads in the

dence, which was more valuable than
Gladstone's good intentions. The ques-
ton Of public morality was settled at
Leinster hall, and the seceders possessed
no programme or plan justifying their de-
serton of their leader.
KILKENNY, Dec. 2l.-A meeting Of Par
nellites was held outside of Parnells ho-
tel here at o'clock this evening. Par
nell addressed the gathering.
Parnell goes to Arnsdale after the cleo
ton in Kilkenny and will proceed thence
