Dublin, Oct. 1O.-The speech made
last night at the Parnellite meeting
held in the rotunda here by John Red
mOnd, the Parnelite leader and mem
Der of parliament for Waterford. has
caused u sensation here and through
ont political circles in Great Britain.
for it indicates clearly that the Parnel-
Ites will no longer support Mr.. Glad
stone or his policy.
MIR. Redmond discussed the home
rule situation and remarked that the
whole question had undergone a fatal
change. He said that the situation they
had met 10 consider was one Of deadly
peril TO IriShmen; the home rule ques-
ton had been hung up by the liberal
party in parliament and the iudepen-
dent Nationalist who consented 10 sub
init to the rejection of the home rule
were either fools or slaves.
He declared that the Irish cause at
the present moment was menaced by
a deadly peril which was the inevitable
result of the Nationalist'S surrender to
the English. The late Charles Stewart
ParnelIS prediction is fully justified,
said Mr.. Redmond; there was no use
in d%eceiving the Irish people into the
in deceiving the Irish peo-
pie into the belief that the
rule acted from any other motive than
necessity and only when they realized
that the British interests were INF
periled.
The danger, the speaker claimed, lay
in the fact that ireland no longer block
ed the way. The liberals, according to
Mr.. Redmond, had hung up home rule
for an entire year until 1894 at least)
and now they intended to proceed t
the consideration Of English reforms
without having settled with Ireland,
so soon as the voters of Great Britain
realized that Ireland would submit to
this.
Thus, Mr.. Redmond added, was
large part Of Mr.. Parnells life work
undone and home rule would disappear
for a generation or more. Moreover he
continued. what kind of home rule did
Mr.. Gladstone offer! The bill Of last
session, the speaker claimed, was dead,
and the next one would undoubtedly
be a further compromise measure.
MIR, Redmond then criticised at
length the course of the votes of
Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien, whose
names were greeted with groans and
Kisses, The Paruelite leader then said
that it was a strange thing, when Mr..
Gladstone and Mr.. Morley admitted
that the bin did not give full Justice to
Ireland, that an Irish member OF par
lament was to be round who would
declare in the name Of the Irish race
that this bill, with its humiliating re
strlctions and degrading limits, fully
satisfied the nationalist's demands.
In conclusion Mr.. Redmond made
definite announcement to the effect
that at the coming session Of parli
amen he ard his followers would de-
cline to follow the government to a
division in the Hobbies on the English
questions. This statement of Mr., Red
mond's was greeted by loud and long
cheering 10y the audience assembled in
the rytunda.
When Mr.. Redmond was able 10 pro
coed he said he believed the Parnel-
lite's opportunity was at hand, as their
opponents were beginning to be I'M
masked and all their dead leaders
predictions would be verified. loud
applause.
The PIrnellites then passed resolu
tions to the effect that the refusal of
the government to consider at the au-
tumn session a measure to %reinstate
the evicted tenants in ireland, its re-
fusal to release the Irish political
prisoners, and Mr.. Gladstone's failure
at Edinburgh recently to define his in
tentions in regard to the Irish ques
ton. indicated the policy he intended to
follow in regard to home rule.
All this, it was claimed, necessitated
that immediate action on the part of
the Irish party is necessary and that
a reorganization Of that party through
out the country should be n of the
first steps to be taken. TIE audience
dispersed with loud cheers for Mr.
Redmond and for home rule.
