the original manifesto sent by cable by

patches was frequently interrupted by
cheering.
Mr.. j. O'Kelly asserted that it would
be the basest ingratitude for the Ma
tionalists to rbandon Mr.. Parnell sim
ply because Il number OF politicians,
who had sought an alliance with the
Irish party for their own advantage,
now thought fit TO abandon the posi-
ton Mr.. Parnell had taken, and had
intrigued to encompass the downfall of
the trusted leader of the Irish nation.

ment made by Mr.. Parnell In his recent
manifesto, that 'radical wire pulIers
had sapped the integrity of the Nation
aliSt party" Mr.. Parnell angrily re-
torted that his statement referred only
to a section of the party and animad-
verted upon the conspiracy existing in
every hole and corner of the House of
Commons between certain high Irish
members of the House and Mr.. Henry
Labouchere and Prof. Stuart.
Mr.. Sexton, replying to Mr. Parnell,
claimed that he himsel. and his friends
had been loyal to the party, and added

and not your slaves"

that whatever might be the result Of
the meeting the question OF Mr.. Par
nell's s''retiremcnt would not be decided
at Westminster.

pride and culpable ambition.

row the discussion Of Mr.. Barry'S
motion for the retirement of Mr.. Parnell.

others for sending dispatches TO America
trying to influence the delegates there.
Mr.. Sexton said: 81 received telegram
from II. Z. O'Connor requesting me To
give my views on the situation, and
therefore cabled, informing him that a
majority favored the retirement Of Mr..
Parnell as necessary both for the Home
Rule cause and the security Of evicted
tenants. / further added that If the
ENJOYS saw way TO support the major
ity substantial unanimity would be sc-
cured"

now to Withdraw his expression OF
opinion in that telegram, for he made a
mistake"

discussion about? 1t seems another

lent and impertinent observation.
Cheers. Yes, most insolent and i'm
pertinent"
Mr.. Barry rise"
Mr.. Parnell-"Sit down, Mr.. Barry.
Mr.. Barry-"But allow
Mr. Parnell-"I will not allow you,
sir. Mr.. Leamy is in possession of the
floor"
Mr.. Leamy-"These kilograms tC
America certainly produced false i'm
preston in implying that majority OF
the leading men OF the party were going
in one direction
Mr.. William Raymond If any names
were sent to the delegates in America,
all on each side ought to have been
given. Hear hear II Mr.. Par
nell is to be deposed, in Gods name de-
pose him without making it matter
for cheering in an English club.
Hear, hear"
