information was obtained that Harring-
ton declined 10 sign the manifesto on
personal grounds He was said 10 have
stated his position in these words: my
Judgment is against Parnell, but my
hsart is with him"
79ll0wing is the document in full
Tasin Mccarthy, NJ r., Vtce- Chairman Of
= Iy1si Parliamentary Party:
Our sense Of the matchless genius of Mr..
frncu as a leader. of the imperishable
srviccs be has rendered 10 the Irish cause,
a the courage integrity, and splendid
success with which he has led our people
fr ten years. and the tie Of comradeship
and personal respect and affection which
for wears bound us 10 him, have made us
suspend 10 iNf lhtfsi possible moment our
judgment against his further leadership.
rABNYLL OR HoME-RULE DESTRUCTION.
The obligation TO express that judgment
i % an of us the most painful duty OF our
lives. No earthly consideration could
llyo moved US 20 our determination ex-
cepi the solemn conviction that we are
driven 10 choose between Mr.. Parnell and
tie destruction Of our cOuntry's cause.
s. painfully alive were we to all that
might be involved in the loss of such
leIdor that we eagerly coOperated with our
colleagues IN every effort TO retain his in
fuFnce In our cOunsels. The manifesto
which Mr.. Parnell has just issued cuts us
OF from the last hopes 10 which we clung.
huxious TO avoid any word that might en-
bitter this controversy, we shall not dwell
uuru tho cruel injustice with winch he
treats the members Of the party that has
followed hIm with loyalty and affection
such ~ no leader ever experienced before.
His recollection of their fealty 10 him IN
many an hour of trial might well have
we'd then from the imputation that any
section Of them could have allowed their
integrity 10 be capped by Liberal wire
rullers. nor would we do more than enter
o protest against this violation Of all con-
st.tutional principles in fiouting 10y antici-
ration the decision OF the elected repre-
seBtatIves of the people.
While making every possible allowance
fr Mr.. ParnelPs feeling on this score, We
consider 10 unjust to the English people
and lamentable from the point of Wow of
International good feeling 10 describe as
English wolves howling for his destruction
those who have not been able TO bring
themselves 20 the same view TO which graf
itude and the necessity for union impelled
Nr Parnells own colleagues and country
men. The plea OF Mr. Psrnell that Mr..
GlaIstone's letter involves a claim to die
tate 10 the Irish party, aud thereby strike
O tho independence of that party as
strictly Irish national body, is one calcu-
lated 20 inspire every Nationalist with
alarm If that plea were not an obvious fall
lacy.
IRELAND FOR THE IRISH.
The Irish party was formed for tho pur
pose Of winning home rulo for Ireland.
ANY attempt TO divert the Irish party from
that object in the interest of English par
tc. would be invasion of the independence
ot tho Irish party, and would, we believe,
lo rcpelled 10y no one more sternly than
hy our colleagues and ourselves who are
now in opposition to Mr.. Parnell. But tho
very basis of our independent alliance with
the Liberal party is the adoption by them
of the programme Tor which the lrlsh
party was formed and the recognition that
II must be the first attack of Liberal
cabinet 10 realize that programme. What
eve< difference Of opinion may exist as TO
the haste with which Mr.. Gladstone's letter
was communicated 10 the public IL WAS
obviously not his hostility to home rule,
Int his earnest desire to save 1t from dis
aster. that prompted MIR. Gladstone to
write his letter
GLADSTONE AND MORLEY REMEMBERED.
We dcplore that the difficulties Of Mr..
ID. AWaV. lrT
cogniZed by Mr.. Parnell, and that, on tho
contrary, friendly private communica-
uous-c communications obviously made
with view OF smoothing the passage OF the
lomerulo bill-haye been made the basis
of iumuuatious of treachery TO the Irish
cause. By his conviction, again and again
EXPRESSED. that home-rule TO be effective
uust Doe such measure as Will satisfy the
IRISH pc pie, Mr.. Gladstone Is bound 10 a
full and ample measure of self-gOyernment
o. lrragd.
10 ooner any other scheme would be an
act not only Of incredible baseness, but of
incredible folly, and we emphatlcally
separate ourselves from any such charge
against Mr Gladstone. We think 1T de-
plorahle that NJ. Morley's suggestion that
some Of tho Irish party would cooperate
in carrying out the Irish programme OF the
Liberal homerule party should be so
strangely interpreted by Mr.. Parnell.
Every member OF the irish party will of
course agree with Mr. Parnell that the ac-
ceptance 10y any Nationalist member OF
Office from an English ministry would be
breach OF the elementary principles upon
which our party II founded. But nobody
who knows Mr. Morley's character will
doubt that the suggestion was made in the
honest belief that Liberal ministry
would be helped in the difficult work OF
carving through the details of an Irish
homo-rule bill by the cooperation Of Irish
Colleagues. and II was not an insiduous at
tempt ON the integrity and independence
Of the Irish party.
THE IRISH LEADERS RASH AND Fatal PATH.
We have now 20 confront the statement
that Mr.. parnells leadership opens an i'm
passable gulf between the representatives
Of Ireland and the Liberal party, who have
faithfully observed their part of the agree
inents as 20 the national claims of Ireland,
and the situation is aggravated by deploTa-
h.e expressions of iii will toward the
british people, who have again aud again
within tho past i've years manifested their
determination to do justice to Ireland, and
have by their votes paralyzed the arm OF
coercion. In deliberately bringing thingG
10 this position Mr.. Paruell has entered
upon a rash and fatal path, upon which
every consideration of Ireland's safety, as
well as her personal honor. absolutely for
bid us % follow him.
DUTY CLEARLY OUTLINED.
Inthe future of party thus isolated and
dscredited we cannot imagine how any
lnshman can see anything but destruction
Of the hopes of self-goyernment, happi-
uoss, and peace, which but a few weeks
ago we're on the point Of being realized for
our people, so tried by many years OF sacri-
Zee and suffering. What MIR. Parnell asks
us to do. stripped Of all side issues, is 10
sacrifice all the hopes of an early settle
uent Of the Irish struggle 10 his resolve 10
maintain his personal position. We are
driven 10 choose between our leader and
our cause. In that sad choice we cannot
hesitate.
ASxITTT or THE IRISH PEOPLE
We lay these views respectfully before
ell our colleagues of the Irish Parliamen-
tary party in the earnest belief that "a de-
ssiye vote on their part will deliver Ire
and from the fearful anxiety which now
oyerhangs her people. We sre convinced
that a calm but resolute course OF action
on our part In this cruel emergency will
rebound 10 the advantage OF our cause
