An an Arbiter of fractional Differences
in Cork
LONDON, Oct. 22.-Faction fights are
OF almost hourly occurrence in Cork,
and the excitement is growing to de-
gree that can not, according to appear
ances. long be unattended by blood
shed.
There is some hesitation among the
McCarthyites as to whether they will
run Mr.. William O'Brien or Mr.. Mich
ael Davitt against Mr.. John Redmond.
In the event of nominating Mr.. Davitt.
the letters of nomination at Kilkenny
will have to be Cancelled. Mr.. Davitt.
however, is stronger than Mr.. OBrien
with the extreme element in Cork, on
account of his sufferings in an English
convict prison. Mr.. O'Brien is looked
at askance by many of both factions,
who charge that he is rather unstable.
The police are doing extra duty in
Cork, and find hard work in suppress
ing the faction fights which are of
hourly occurrence on the streets. Mr..
Davitt, Mr.. O'Brien and the Mccarthy
ties generally are announced by the
Parnellites as murderers, and their fol-
lowers retaliate in equally severe lam
guage. Then the shillelah comes into
play.
