Supporters to collect Facts as to
the Strength OF the Parties in Each
District Lsbouchere Also De-
nounces tho Fallen Leader.
LONDON, April 4.-The Daily Ne,oS this
morning commented on the result of the
election at Sligo yesterday. II says; "Mr.
Parnell has now twice tested Irish opinion,
aud both times he has been badly beaten.
In his own constituency he has refused to
fight. We cannot suppose that Irish
men who really love their country
will continue to follow the dethroned die
tator. who uses his remaining power TO
weaken the country in the face OF the
enemy. The result at Sligo is great vic
tory for homo rule. The Parnellitca were
guilty of the grossest violence aud intimida-
tion. Moreover they had, as Is now gener-
ally admitted, the support OF the conservR-
tives."
A M'cARTHYITE COMMENTS.
DUBLIN, April 4.--The National Press,
the organ of MoCarthyites, says: "Despite
the fact that nearly 1000 Orangemen sup
ported the candidate OF the Parnelltes, and
that the votes Of almost as many members
of the national federation party were
distracted, aud in the face Of the
grossest bribery and Intimidation, Sligo
has struck a smashing blow for the national
cause. In spite of the bulIyings, bludgeon-
ings and mob law personally organized by
Mr.. Parnell, the nationalists have won the
m st remarka .le triumph ever achieved for
home rule"
A CIRCULAR FROM PARNELL

supporters throughout Ireland requesting
them to forward to this city the number OF
Parnellitss conservatives and GladstOniaus

coming parliamentary elections Ia this ooun-
try.
LABOUCHERE BITTER AGAINST PARNELL.
Henry Labouchere, at private meeting
In London OF the radical candidates for
members Of parliament to~dAy, declared
that the outlook was hopeful. Mr.. Parnell,
he said, had been beaten in two elections,
aud had snealsed cut Of his chal-
longe to Mr.. Healy, in which
he proposed that they should both resign
thsir seats In parliament and come before
the people FIR reelection, in the mea est
aud most contemplate manner. Mr.. Par
uell,n said Mr.. Labouchere, will not gain
more than six seats in parliament,
giving at least seventy to tie ma
tionalists, who support Mr.. Gladstone" Mr..
Lahouchere was sanSuine Of the prospects,
and believed that England had not lost q
vote through Mr.. Parnell. The only dan
ger, he said, was in counties where the
squire and parson drove laborers to the
polls like sheep.
The government has decided not to invite
Mr.. Davitt to serve upon the labor COM
mission, and has asked Mr.. MCCARTHY TO
suggest another Irish representative.
