The meeting was opened by Robert Temple
Emmett. He said:
AS chairman OF the Parnell Monument Com
mittee 1t is my duty and privilege to call this
meeting together and to Introduce the chairman
Of the evening. 1t is unnecessary that should
myself say anything In explanation Of the object
for which meet That object is one which
should be dear 10 the heart Of every sincere
friend Of ireland anG OF the cause OF human
freedom l have no doubt at all Of the success
Of the Lord Mayor and Mr. Redmond in their
patriotic and public mission 70 America, because
Parnells name and memory are almost as dear
10 Americans as TO Irshmen.
Judge O'Brien was loudly cheered. In his ad-
dress he said:
II is fitting that the heroes of all races should
have their names and the spirit Of their works
perpetuated, so that wherever there is left a
spark of the spirit it should be kindled and kept
alive 1t Is time that those who cherish liberty
should see 10 II that in some fitting way the
name Of Parnell should be perpetuated. The
people Of this country have gained applause
for going TO the assistance of Venezuela when
that countrys liberties were threatened by
powerful nation. They again showed that spirit
and love OF liberty by their successful efforts to
secure freedom for Cuba And now hearts
can go out in help TO the Irish people in their
struggle for the conouct o. their internal af-
fairs.
And tonight we come TO welcome two loyal
Irishmen. who have come over with this their
mission. the Lord Mayor of Dublin and the Hon
John r. Redmond Let give them that as
sstance that will make their mission success
full.
The audience received the names Of the VISIT
prs by standing up and cheering for some mo-
Tents. AS the cheering began to subside
mounted his seat and in stentorian tones called:
"Hurrah for Dom Paul The sentiment was
popular one. and the name was cheered again
and again.
The chairman then introduced Judge James A.
O'Gornan. Judge OGcrman said in part:
AS member Of the committee that invited
our distinguished euests to visit this country
am requested TO give expression TO our profound
appreciation OF their noble and patriotic re-
Spouse to our call. They are here only by great
sacrifice Of private and business interests. but
those who know the Lord Mayor and MT Red
mond know that no sacrifice is too great for
either TO make If II will but advance the cause
Of Irish nationality.
To you. my Lord Mayor and to you. Mr.. Red
mond give assurance that the welcome ex-
tended to you tonight awaits YOU In every city
and hamlet all over this broad land
Judge O'Brien said that Judge O'Gorman had
anticipated in his speech the remarks he had
intended TO use in introducing the next speaker.
He would. therefore. without further ado intro
duce man for whom all were waiting anxously
to hear. the Lord Mayor Of Dublin.
The genial countenance of the Lord Mayor
fairly beamed with pleasure as he walked for
ward TO acknowledge the hearty greeting OF his
audience. 1t a considerable time before he
could make himself heard. He said in sub
stance:
heartily thank the chairman for the cordial
welcome he has extended 10 me as the unani-
mously elected representative Of the capital Of
Ireland on my return shall announce to the
people Of Dublin that the many and much APP
preciated hOnors conferred upon me in this
great city are in reality intended for them.

listed for eight centuries. on this my first visit

Councillors Of that city that found New York
not alone young giant raising his head amid
the highest and overlooking with life and en-
ergy but also exhibiting every token that the
order perfection and enlightenment of the city
government are second 10 none. and that in
future Dublin must not confine its studies 10
Europe but must come TO New-iork and learn.
AS regards my mission amongst you have TO
anneal 10 your generosity for a twofold object.
