were cheeYed.
DUBLIN. Oct. 8.--The intention WAS 10
make to-dny's PANEL dsmonstEation as
far as possible indicative OF the strength Of
the Parnellite cause. With that object in
view. fast special excursion trains
we're run to Dublin from all
parts of Ireland. Many thousands
avsiled themselves of these trains and the
demonstration was much more successful
than that of last year. One great depart
ure from the programme of last ycar was
the absence Of public speaking In oonnoo-
tion with the commemoration. The pro-
cession was headed BY a contingent Of the
principal Parnellites. All the trades.
friendly societies and many other bodies in
the city also walked in the procession. The
instruments of different bands were drapsd
in black and the music was of q doleful and
funeral character.
