IRISH POLITICS.
DUBLIN, Dec. 23.--Several prom
inent members are in Waterford

it will be fortuate if someone is not
hurt before the polls close. Dalton,

ell Davit, and violently abused him.
Sheehy rstaliated, whereupon a
crowd Of Parnelites set upon him,
and the police had to conduct him

and had hard time to get away,
the mob pursuing them TO the very
doors of the McCarthyite committee.

the trouble between the countries
will result Ia war, but IL sounded

their success In Debating Balma

themselves invlncible. When Il
comes right down Ia a pOlut how

civil strife and the country
