was elected, with Mr. Maurice Healy, who
also represents Cork city, without opposi-
tion. An enormous crowd of excited peo-
pie surrounded the hall while the votes

police had all they could do to keep order.
Mr.. John E. Redmond, the defeated can
didate, after the result Of the poll had been
announced, attended a meeting of Par
nellites, where he delivered an address.
During the course of his remarks he de-
clared that. though majority of the elect

the struggle for the acknowledgement by
the people of Ireland of the Justice of the
policy pursued by the Parnellites. Mr.

ciples of the Parnellites had not been sup
ported by the electors of Cork city, and he
denounced the interference of the priests in
the election. He attributed the defeat OF
the Parnellite candidate to the tactics
which the priests had employed to coerce
voters.

from the tenants fund or obtained from
the Conservative party treasury. An in
TO offset the demand which the Parnellites
will make for second election on the
ground of undue clerical interference.

progress some> soldiers in the Berkshire
regiment. at present stationed in the
vicinity, interfered with the procession.
They were set upon by large crowd. and
were badly beaten before the police reached
the scene of the efiray.
The Parnellite organ, United ireland.
says: THE defeat of Redmond is due TO q
clerical tyranny that constitutes greater
evil for Ireland than even English repres-
sion. Ireland must fight against and con-
quer the clerical power for tho sake Of re-
ligion itself and of the Irish race"
The McCarthyite organ, the National
Press, says: The head OF the serpent has
been crushed. and faction will soon be dead
forever"
