DUBLIN, Oct. ia convention of
the Irish National federation was held
at Cayan to-day. There were numer-
Gus priests among the delegates. The
meeting was presided over by Timothy
NJ. Healy, the member of parliament for
North Longford. In his preliminary
address he said that the members of tie
Irish National party are not concerned
with eulogies over the dead. but the In
terests OF the living. Let the dead past
bury its dead. Mr.. ParneIl had gone to
his account, and those honoring his
services to the nation thought that the
best memorial would be to push OH the
work upon which he was engaged be-
tore the clouds interviewed between his
vision and the best goal of Ireland Her
real sons were not afraid to face public
clamor.
Whatever happened he would never
apologize for doing what he could
against Parnell when he found that the
country's interest demanded ParnelPs
retirement from the leadership of the
majority. He hoped that discussions
would be inferred in his grave. The
note for renewed war came from the
minority and not from them. The ma
Jority continued to be willing to over
look the acts and calumnieS of their
opponents because they were not fight
Ing on personal questions, but national
ones.
Warming to the Work.
If Mr.. Parnell knew where he was
going III opposing the majority, these
men did not. nor did they know the
forces they were unloosing or the con-
sequence of their action upon the des-
TIMES OF their country. They said "we
cannot shake hands with you" but
never seemed to contemplate the feel
ings Of those offering to shake hands
with them. We might be like those
starving American trappers who, you
remember, could eat crow, but didn't
banker after it."
Ii the minority were unable to CO.
operate, let them resign their seats,
giving way to men who are open for re-
union. Ireland had given them no
mandate to perpetuate feud. Their
position for degrading, not only as de-
Tying the constituencies of Ireland, but
in the fact that they had not even the
prostitutes shame. because they gloried
in their infamy. Their party consisted
of knayes and fools. for these men de-
clare that they disposed Dillon and
OBrIen. So stupendous was their
andacity that he really began to
wonder where they were standing.
He hoped that O'Brien would now
publish to the world the whole story of
the Boulogue negotiations. II the let
tiers and repeated declarations of Red
mond and Harrington. now the drill
SergeantS of diSSenSion, were published.
he promised sucn an exposure as prob
ably has never been known in regard to
the public men and people of Ireland.
He could forgive Parnell indeed. he
believed he had already forgiven him;
but these men, pretending to be his
political heirs and executors, had not
tine excuse of Parnell. They were act
ing safely in the interests of Dublin
castle and the Orange lodges, whom the
people hoped to cast out as ulcers on
the body polite.
