London, Sept. 2.-Mr. Justin Mccarthy

them to support Mr.. Farrell, the candidate

its climax In the baseless falsehoods utter
ed by Mr.. 7. NJ. Healy at Omagh. when he
asserted that the Irish parliamentary com
mittee had sold seats for English gold.
Such a state of things, Mr.. Mccarthy de-
clares, means the bankruptcy and destruc-

CURED in the opinion that the document
was a surprise to the party. Mr.. MeCar-

upon the advice Of only Messrs. John Dill
