THE CRY OF MURDERER
Presently the sinister cry of murderer"
was heard. and until the arrival Of the pro-
cessiOn at its destination this epithet ia rly
divided the honOrs Of the occasion with ap-
plause and Kisses.
Immediately upon Mr.. O'Brien's arrival at
the town hall the convention was organized
by electing that gentleman as It's presiding
officer. Routine business was promptly DIS
patched, and then Mr. Michael Davitt
was elected TO contest the seat for
North hllkenly made vacant by the
death of j hn Pope Hennessy IN
the event that the Parliamentary body
refused TO select candidate TO make tho
hght. While the convention was In session
numerous rows were tax ng place between the
factions and the streets were filed with
fighting mobs. So savage were some of the
attacks made by the partisans upon their OPP
ponents that the police were compelled to
separate the fighting men in order to prevent
outright murder. In one or two instances

DILLON GROWS N Favor.
LONDON. Oct 20.-John Dillons speech
q
the feelings OF the Palnelities toward him,
and especially as it was coupled with re-
pudiatlon OF the attacks in the Dublin CathO-
llc on ParnelPs memory. There Is now be-
leyed TO be a possibility OF reconciliation
under Dillon No one doubts the truth of
Dillon's statement that he loved Parnell and
there is only one speech Of DiilOns on record
IN which he antagonized Parnell strongly. and
that was on the subject OF the Paris fund
and delivered o few days before Paruell's
death. Before going to Jail Dillon had been
careful TO keep a moderate course. lie hoped
that dis enslon would come 10 an end before
his release.
Upon being liberated he threw his lot in
with the McCarthyites. but he never used per-
sonally abusive terms regarding Parnell. and
the utmost char ged against him by the Par
nelltes is that when an ensiye term was
used in his presence he failed to robuke it.
There Is no proof that he ieard II. and If be

Dillon ls undoubtedly considered by the
Tories the strongest man of the two factions
and the most positive and commanding char

REcoNcILIATIoS POSSIBLE.
There is a marked change for the better to-
day IN the tone of both the McCarihyi'es and
the Parnellites and the TACT that there has
been no recrimiuatlon Of either side for over
twenty-fOur hours inspires hope |
that reconciliation IS within the |
possibilities. Both factions are said |
10 be alarmed by theevidence OF Government
gains. not only in tie north but also IN the
south of Ireland Tenants everywhere are
lurrying D. take advantage Of the land pur-
chase, ana the re narkable spectacle /
has been witnessed in 1ipperary of |
the tenants who recently regarded |
the constabuary as their btterest |
enemies actually subscribing for prizes tO be |
offered at the constabulary's athl tic games /
/ or these and no o her reasons both the Par
1elte and McCarthyite leaders begin TO fear
.hat the prize may slip away while they are
lUarreling over t.
John Redmond has resigned as member of
Parliament tor Wexford. and will contest the
