in America. speaking tonight of the death
of Parnel said: I'm Parnells character
and aspiration were crystalized the expe-
rience and resolution of the Irish people. So
long as his intellect remained unimpaired
he led the greatest parliamentary fight OF
modern times supported by a following of
remarkable individual talent and by the
moral and material resources of determined
race distributed over the globe. L look for a
prompt, cordial and complete rehabilitation
OF the national party and victory for no me
rule IN the approaching general election
What do l think of it?'' said eX-Congress-

can say less. Just now l can't say word
more. l hardly realize it as vet myself
Judge Richard Prendergast said: 1t is not
my inclination to speak of farnell's death in
connection with Irish politics. l am grieved
TO hear of his death. The man was charac-

most leader of the Irish people, and, as / be-
lieve. no breast held within it more loyal
heart
1T is very unfortunate that his death
should occur at the time there is a cloud
hanging over his name" said w. j. Hyues

great benefit to Ireland. IL may result in the
meeting of the opposing factions

The veteran publisher, Patrick Uonohue,
| said: I'm the past few weeks, Balmaceda

death of Dir. Parnell, Patrick Martin. who
was vice president of the National league
during the domination of Mr.. Parnell, said
His efforts in behalf of Ireland cannot be
