country NAV be conducted without per
sonal bitterness and degrading person

Mr.. Dillon. in a short statement sd-
mits that he had been largely influenced
TO mediate by the action Of Mr.. Par
nelfs most prominent opponepts MIR.
Parneil, he says, had been asssiled
with shocking personal vindicave-
ness and brutality in utter dis
regard of what was due him IA
return for his splendid services.
This personal element had in many
minds hopelessly cbscured the great
public issues and driven thousands in
Ireland and America into Parnell s
camp who otherwise would have OPP
posed his continued leadership. MIR.
Dillon continues:
