ute to Parnel, but ii is now perfectly plain that
they could not do so with out rendering proba-
bic Insult to the sacred presence OF the dead by
causing an exhibition of intolerable anger on
the part of an infatuated section OF his follow
ers Nothing out desire to preserve the peace
and a determination to guard Ireland from re-
proach has influenced their decision to be abb
sent.
