Dublin were on the pier to receive him.
DR.. Fitzgerald, Mr.. Leamy, Henry Barring

members of Parnell's party to leave the
steamer. They were loudly cheered. Tim

NELL travelled in the same boat. As they
came ashore they we're subjected to hostile
demonstrations by the crowd, while there
were shouts for Parnell mingled with cheers
for Mrs. O'Shea. Parnell was the last to
quit the boat. As he proceeded to the train
the crowd became enthusiastic in it's ap-
plause and he was cheered again and again.
A number of addresses were presented to
him, in reply to which he expressed his
thanks for the welcome. He said he
did not fear the result Of the fight.
He had never led the Irish party in
the wrong in the past and would not in the
future. The train then pulled out and after
a short run arrived in Dublin, where a
larger crowd had assembled. As soon az
the train stopped Timothy Healy hurriedly
descended from the coach, entered a cab
and drove away. He was recognized by the
crowd, however, before lie reached the cab
and was greeted with groans and shouts OF
"Chief Justice Healy." The crowd was SO

way through. Finally he reached the cab,

tive exercise to dozen stalwart policemen
who followed the cab. Upon his arrival at
Kenny's house Parnell made brief speech
to the crowd.
This evening great procession formed
at the mansion house and when Parnell
reached his carriage the horses were un-
hitohed and score of enthusiastic men
dragged the carriage to the rotunda. Par
nell received an ovation all along the route,
and at the rotunda experienced the greatest
difficulty in getting into the hall, which was
packed to suffocation. The cheering when
he reached the platform continued several
minutes, after which a vote Of confidence
in Parnell was passed. In his speech he
said: II have been accused of absence
from the field OF battle. 1t is easy
to make excuses for secession
and detection, but when the day comes for
measuring the amount of my shortcomings
and those of my opponents, the balance will
not be against me. Shouts of s'down with

Stronger, more vindictive, disQraceful and
