The Irish standard., 1900-11-10

in the north in which a supporter of
dissension dared show his face, the
seal was set upon Nationalist listers
approval of the United Irish League.
AS it is in the great city OF Cork. so
it is among the hills of Donegal. The
men of the city streets are hand in
hand with the mountain shcelings in
their determination to tolerate no long
er the authors of the factions and
feuds, which cursed and hlghted the
country and brought the national cause
to the very verge of ruin.
Connaught has, of course, been true
as steel; and for Leinster we need only
refer to the triumphs in Dublin, to the
rout of Healyism in North Wexford, to
the chase of n factionist tlunkey from
College Green, and to the despicable
trick by which he found Il foothold in
South Meath, and point to the growing
power of the Nationalist organization
in the province, as a set off against
the temporary explainable detection of
the county Of Louth. Leinster was the
last division of Ireland into which the
United Irish League found it's way.
Leinster will be as well organized as
Munster or Connaught before the real
work of the next session OF parlia.
ment commences, because the people
have realized their comparative power
lessness without organization, and they
will not be caught mapping again.
After speaking in detail of some of
the great organization victories the
People continues:
Meanwhile the Healyite tail has been
faring badly in the country Outside
the half-corrupted borough of Galway
there was little danger to the Nation
alist representation from Toryism.
The victory of Mr.. P. A. McHugh in
Leitrim. where the Tory polled 300
votes against 4,O24 for the Nationalist
candidate, takes the measure of Union
ism over four-fifths of the country.
And most sincerely we congratulate
the fearless and indomitable mayor of
Sligo. In the country what danger
there was came from the Healyite con-
spiracy. In Donegal Mr.. Curran, Mr..
I. d. Sullivan and Mr.. Arthur O'Con-
nor have disappeared. In Kings coun-
ty Mr. Bernard Molloy has been dis
missed. Mr.. Tom Healy. the former
member for North Wexford. has fol-
lowed his brother Maurice into retire
ment. DR.. Clmmins has bccn replaced
in Southeast Cork by Mr.. Cream, after
ridiculous opposition by Morrogh-
Healy candidate. CDR" Fox has been
replaced in Tullamore by Mr.. Haviland
Burke. Mr.. Morris has not ventured
to test the opinion of the people of
Kilkenny, who have returned Mr..
James O'Mara. Mr.. Thomas Curran
knows Sligo no more, and the country
is we'll rid of him and his precious son.

O'Brien in Tipperary, DIR. O'Donncll
in Queens county, Mr.. Minch in Kill
dare and other whispered Healyitc op-
position has vanished like smoke. Mr..
Gibney, after pledging himself twice
to retire, is fighting North Meath
against Mr.. White Mr.. William Muir
ply is trying to bribe the people of
Mayo to have him by promises Of rail
ways; and Mr.. Kennedy, who is chief
ly remembered for his gastronomic
feats in the House of Commons while
for short time he misrepresented Kill
dare, is making vain attempt to de-
feat the convention candidate in West
meath. Altogether the country has
given effective demonstration to the
fact that it wants really united party,
that it will have no mutineers in the
ranks, and that now or never the peO-
pie are determined that a real battle
for national rights must begin and be
carried through to finish.
