DUBLIN, March 1.-Replying to depu.
tation at Drogheda to-day Mr.. Parnell said
he was rejoiced at the proof of support
everywhere accorded him. This, be said,
showed his opponents that Irishmen wou Id
not allow them to degrade the public plat
form by permitting them to strike below the
belt under the pretext OF dealing with ques-
tions of public moment II the difference
between the two factions was not fought out
upon diguitied lines the blame would not fall
upon his supporters. They would strain every
point TO accord their opponents fair hearing,
but if their opponents outraged the sense of
the people by going outside the limits of de-

around them by the Grand Old Spider" The
gate of repentance was still open. If they
waited too late the gate would be shut and
they would become marked on the pages of his
tory as deliberate traitors to Ireland.
