the Oldest in New York city:
"To Johl Fitzgerald president Irish National
League, Lincoln, Neb:
20 Brien. Dillon and associates have ignored
the national league, and by so doing insulted
all its members. They proved ungrateful to
the American Irish organizations that did 70
much for them. They have completed their
ingratitude by throwing overheard the able
and honest leader, Parnel. who has done 40
much for Ireland and for them. That Irish
American opinion may not be misrepresented
or misunderstood we suggest that you call a
convention Of the league and Of kindred Irish
societies 10 decide il we shall have Gladstone,
the British politician, OF Parnell. the Irish pa
triot as the issue has now narrowed itself down
TO that. CORNELIUS j. REILLY
