PARNELpS SUCCESSOR.

DUBLIN, Oct 15-Mr. John Redmond
member of parliament for North Wex
ford. whose name has been prominently
mentioned as the successor of Parnell as
leader of the Parnellte party, has written
an article on Irish poltices, which is pub
lished today in United Ireland. In this
communication Mr.. Redmond, speaking
Of Mr.. Parnell, saws:
1.-The greatest friend of Irish liberty, the
greatest enemy of tyranny, has been killed
by the foulest slander-hunted to death
that the virture of Ireland might be vindi-
Gated to the satisfaction of the Pharisees
and hypocrites of England. The scandal
mongers Of Britain should now be salts
fed. The English leader who struck the
first blow may now be content; his greatest
rival is no more. Christians who, contrary
To the Divine teaching, mercilessly perse-
cuted their chief, may rest from their
labors. Another item has been added to
the account Ireland has to settle Some
day-it may be in our time or it may be
when we are in our graves, but so surely
as the sun sets beyond our heart broken
land the account will be settled-Ireland
will pay the debt long due"
THE McARTHYITEs.
DUBLIN. Oct ia convention of the
Irish National federation was held at
Cavant today There were a number of
priests present The meeting was presided
over by Timothy NJ. HeRly. In his pre-
liminHry address he said that the members
OF the Irish National party are not con-
oerned with eulogies of the dead, but with
the living Parnell bad gone TO his &C
count, and those honoring his services to
the nation thought his best memorial
would be to push on the work upon which
he was engaged before clouds interviewed
between his vision and the best good of
Iralpnn Iar real ofr -,
face public clsmor. Whatever happened,
he would never apologize for doing what
he could against Parnell when he found
that the country's interests demanded
Parnell to retire from the leadership of the
majority. He hoped the dissensions would
be inferred in his grave. The note for re-
newed war came from the minority and
not from them. The majority continued
TO be willing to overlook the acts aud
calumnies of their opponents, because
they were not fighting on personal ques-
tions but on national ones.
II PRrnell knew where he was going in
opposing the majority, these men did not;
nor did they know the tempest they were
unlOosening oTiUhe consequence their action
upon the destinies of their country. So
stupendous was their audacity that he
really began TO wOnd where they were
standing. He hoped that O'Brien would
now publish 10 the world the whole story
of the Boulogne negotiations If the letters
and repeated declarations of Redmond and
Harrington, now the drill sergeants of dis
sension, were published he promised such
an exposure as had probably never been
known in regard to pubic men and the
people of Ireland. He could forgive Par
nell-indeed. he believed, he had already
forgiven him; but these men pretending
to be his political heirs and executors had
not the excuse of Parnell They were
actng solely in the interests of Dublin
Castle and the Orange lodges, whom the
people hoped TO cast out as ulcers on the
body polite.
