SLIGO, March 29.-Today has been the
liveliest day so far in the North Sligo cleo
ton campaign. BY s o'clock this morn
ing the streets were alive with people
listening to the music of several bands.
The Parnell continge nts with their leader
were out by 10 o'clock engaged in per-
sonal canvsssing. In their zeal they at
tempted to devote attention TO Coney
Island, in Sligo bay. although there are
only twenty-five voters on the island.
Parnell met with q hostile reception at
Strand Hill, where he found it impossible
to hold a meeting, owing to the piercing
yells of his opponents and was finally
compelled to retreat to Sligo. The bishop
of the diocese together with the priests of
the whole district denounced Mr.. Parneli
to their congregations at mass this morn
ing.
Meanwhile the anti,Parnellites, Messrs.
Sexton and Collier, Maurice Healy and
Michael Davitt and their party, bent on
an unfortunate attempt to carry the fight
into the enemys country, started at 8
o'clock in the morning for the Tireragh
district, addressing small gatherings on
their way until Templeboy was reached.
Here hostile camps had been formed. The
Parnellites maintained sullen silence, but
their opponents with ringing cheers well
coined the reinforcements. The Parnell
ties gathered on the brow of hill, armed
with blackthorns and other weapons,
threatening to move toward their oppo-
nkzts. but the police inteflefed and with a
line of tyOnets awed the antagonists, and
| the storm subsided amid muttered threats
and curses.
All now moved in the direction of
Dromore West, where after similar
scene, the Parnellites pelted their op-
| ponents vigorously with stones until they
were chased and dubbed by the police.
Michael Dayitt ded his adberents of, all
duclking their heads and some covering
themselves with rugs 70 avoid the fuslade
of stones. Mr.. PinkertOn, member of
parliament from Galway, had his head
| cut and several others were I'M jured.
On trying TO enter Easker the anti-Par-
nellites found the road barred by for
midable array of Parnellites and on the
| advice OF the police they retreated in the
|
| stones and other missiles. The party
reached Sligo in the evening, where they
addressed a large meeting. They gave a
| detailed account of the days happenings
and the treatment they had received, and
| declared the Parnelite leaders organized
on the previous night in Sligo. They all
vowed vengeance. At the same time
they compimented the police for the pro-
teetion that they had afforded them.
DUBLIN, March ga telegram from
Ballina reports that DR.. Tanner was seri-
! ously assaulted by hostile mob today be-
ing knocked down and dragged PROSTATE
| through the mud.
The fusllade of stones continued until
the party was half mile from Easkey.
| A car with a couple OF newspaper men
| following 100 yards behind the Davitt
party was attacked by the Parnellites, and
| the occupants were thrown to the ground
| and were so seriously hurt that they were
| obliged to stop at n village TO have their
wounds dressed. On learning who the
wounded men were the assailants ex-
pressed contrition.
