district councils, Mr.. John Mccarthy
Chairman OF the Waterford Board of
Guardians), said he had resolution to
propose on subject of vital importance
to the best interests of the country.
They all knew the disastrous conse-
quences of strife and disunion in Ire
land, and he thought the time had come
when the people should assert them
selves earnestly, and make all refractory
representatives or leaders realize that
the people were the masters. lie then
proposed the following resolution
'Tl1at we, the Board of Guardians and
Of District Councillors, in meeting as
sembled, having seen the futile attempts
at unity among our M. P.'s and know
ing the disastrous effects of disunity on
the country, hereby express the opinion
that we fear some of the leaders are not
DESTROYS OF unity: and we hereby request
them, viz, John Dillon, John Redmond,
and T. M. Healy, to cease their petty
jealousies and to formulate a program
of unity before the 1st OF July, other
wise we must deem them unfit to lead
and unworthy of the confidence and re-
spect of the Irish people, and so we
must also then consider it our unplcas-
ant duty to request them to resign"
