Kilkenny, Dec. 13.A mass meeting, in
the interest of Scully, Parnellite parlia-
mentary candidate, was addressed by Par
nell today. He warned electors not to
trust Sir John Pope Hennessy, candidate
of the Mccarthy faction. Hennessy, he
said, was well qualified to be leader in
party of renegades, there being no party
to which he had not belonged save the
Irish party Parnell spoke but briely,
showing signs of great fatigue, and his
voice being so hoarse as 10 be at times al
most inaudible.
Reporters are intensely ANNOYED by the
mysterious changes Parncll makes in his
plans. He has now abandoned the pro-
posed visit to Limerick, and will remain
in Kilkenny until after the election, not
,withstanding that everything had been ar
iranged for the visit.
The committee appointed last night to
conduct the campaign OF Sir John Pope
Hennesey, nominee of the Mccarthy fac
ton for parliament, held . meeting today.
Timothy Healy made an address in which
he attacked Parnell for employing mob
violence to prevent the arguments of His
opponents from reaching the people.
Healy and the late Joseph Biggar knew
the facts in connection with the Ethan
intrigue, and they should have strangled
1t when Captain 0'Shea was nominated by
Parnell to parliament, but unfortunately
it was allowed to grow. From the Tory
point of view, Parnell was the savior OF
the Tories, and Mrs. O'shea was the Tory
Joan of Arc.
DUBLIN, Dec. 13.--The dispute in regard
to the right Of drawing upon the funds OF
the National League has caused the bank
In which the leagues money is deposited
to order its branches not to honor checks
sent to evicted tenants by the organization
In consequence many families are deprived
of the sustenance they received weekly
from the league and must either suffer
greatly or go to the poorhouse. The
FreemGn's Journal says: IF. X. O'Brien,
treasurer of the National League, refuses
TO pay the salaries of league officials on the
ground that they are not neutral.'
-Four well-known Irish newspaper have
declared openly for Parnell. They are
the Leinster Leader, the Western People, OF
Ballina, County Mayo, the Westmeath
Examiner, published at Mullingar, County
Westmeath, and the Derry Journal, pub
Hshed at Londonderry.
V. B. Dillon, jr., has written letter to
the Freeman's Journal stating that John
Dillon and William O'Brien are still hope
ful of effecting a compromise with Parnell.
Father Murphy, the parish priest of
Kilmanaugh, County Kilkenny, in a letter
to the Frocmda's Journal demonstrates
against the caustic attack made on Parnell.
LONDON, Dec. 13.-The Daily Neus, Lib
eral, protests against the offensive manner
in which the constabulary has pursued
and dogged Michael Davitt and his
friends at Kilkenney. 1t says:
That impartial administrator, Balfour, offered
no such indignity to the Parnellites !.
The Star, home rule, this afternoon de-
nies that Ireland has declared for Parnell
The Irish people, it says. may be for a
moment III the grip of fascination, but Ire
land in time will ostracize Parnell, and
vindicate her rights to self-government
without comforting her destiny to one
great personality.
