r. p O'Connor, NJ p, in an interview to-day
regarding Irish Parliamentary affairs, said: The
strongest desire of the majority Is not to stand
between the Nation and the restoration of unity.
With this object in view many meetings, includ-
ing the important convention which was TO have
been held in Cork have been postponed. We
desire 10 show our profound respect and grief In
the most emphatic manner Among the ponucal
opponents of Mr. Parnell were men whose alice
ton for him personally was as deep and warm
ss that of those who felt IT 10 he their duty 10
stand by him."
Concerning the chances Of reunion of the
Irish parties Mr.. O'Connor said This is not the
best time TO discuss this question. Ii was antici-
pated from the first that the vehemence of their
grief over their lost leader would lead Mr.. Par
nels supporters into a state of temper IN whcn
reason is blinded by affection They see IN the
political opposition to Mr.. Parnell jealousy and
private hatred l believe that this state OF unreac
son will pass away. while sorrow for the loss OF
Parnel will remain. There IS no dlnerehce N
political principles Both factions are convinced
that the Irish party should be absolutely lnde;
pendent of all English parties and statesmen. ana
that no Irish Nationalist can accept place or pay
from an English Ministry. Both factions desire
10 get for Ireland full and practicable measure OF
selfgovernnant and will accept no other. : 9
