are fighting England"
The delegates thereupon climbed upon
seats and shouted Down with Great
Britain"
The meeting had. up to this point,
I been of somewhat mild description:
but much denunciation of England ana
talk of 177S followed: There was also
much denunciation of Great Britains
! proposal to give Ireland Catholic uni
yersity. The participation of the priests
in politics was condemned and the
/ Healyites were denounced as the assail-
ants of Parnell. There was, however,
no discord whatever The resolutions
were all adopted with enthusiasm ana
the reading of telegram from the Irish
Independent League of New York was
! heartily cheered.
Every possible effort was made to Or
ganize thoroughly representative con-
vention.
Invitations were issued to all corpora

clubs, literary societies, amnesty asso,,
, Citations. national banks, trades and
labor councils. registration associations.
young island association and national
and workingmen's clubs.
The stewards of the Parnell anniyer-
sary demonstration acted in similar
capacity at the convention. Among the
members of the executive committee on
the platform was Louis Stuyyesant
Chanler of New York. Alderman John
Reilly read telegram from the indie
pendent Irishmen of Boston, Mass,
which said:
1--WE stand by Parnell's policy and
urge the government to disgorge its
plumber in the face of the distress eX-
listing. and we send 500 as evidence
of our good faith"
The reading of this message was fol-
lowed by three cheers for the Stars and
Stripes.
Mr.. Redmond, in long speech, de-
nounced the liberals for abandoning
home rule and declared that the only
hope of Ireland was Independent action
without any alliance with the English
parties. explaining that the Dillonites
wanted an "emasculated system of fed
Grafton assorted of the glorified vestry
instead of free parliament"
Continuing. Mr.. Redmond said there
could be no reconciliation with the Dill
onites unless the latter and their liberal
allies reinstated home rule as the first
plank in their platform and promised to
! appeal to the country If the house oil
| lords defeated home rule.
Resolutions were adopted reaflirming
| that the Irish question can only be set
i tied by the concession of national self
| government and calling on all members
! of parliament who "for the last few
| years have pursued mistaken policy.
! to ''rejoin the Independent party. united
upon the principles of Charles Stewart
| Parnell. and demand the release. of the
| political prisoner as an act OF simple
| justice and humanity"
! Resolution were also adopted, urging
| the Irish everywhere to commemorate
the century of 1898, denouncing the gov
| eminent for repudiating the report OF
| the royal commission on the financial re-
| lations between Great Britain and Ire
| land, expressing regret at the necessity
! of raising a Parnell family fund and
calling upon Irishmen generally to re-
| spond to the appeal and Thereby re-
! move from Ireland the stigma of in
| gratitude for the priceless services and
! devotion" of the late Charles Stewart
| Parnell. and "calling upon Messrs. Dill
on, Davitt and Harrington to repay out
of the portion of the Paris fund al
lotted for that purpose 5000 pounds due
| to the Parnell estate
Mr. Chanler. who was called upon
| to address the meeting. made a ringing
speech. asserting the Irish could never
| achieve home rule until they should
not ally themselves with the tories and
| liberals. "because both the English gov
eminent and Englishmen were never
just and never do generous acts unless
forced to do it by fear"
Inc proceedings OF the convention
| were finished this evening, and the pre-
dictions made of a revolt against the
| leadership of John Redmond proved en-
tirely wrong. The delegates cheered
him enthusiastically, and on the ad
journment they warmly praised his
speech, pronouncing it to be most able
outline of the policy of the Irish indie
pendent League.
