another subject from one of the no. i
blest priests that ever stood by his peo-
pie in the hour of danger, Father MAJ
her, p. p. Luggacurren, and a man like
your own Father Barrett Cheers for
Father Barrett), men-who are the very
vital spirit of the priesthood of Ire
land Cheers. What does Father Ma
her say? He says-"May God bless
you, l hope and pray that the voters
of North Louth will send Mr.. Timothy
Healy about his business (cheers,.
The evicted tenants here, as elsewhere,
have nothing to thank him for. HE
always did his best to starve them by
trying to boycott every appeal made
in their behalf. They are well aware
of his tricks, and SO they simply abom-
mate him (cheers). am delighted to
see how you are making him swallow
his falsehoods." (Cheers) That is
what the men of Luggacurren, the
evicted tenants of Luggacurren, think
of Mr.. Healy and Of the creatures who
taunt me with deserving the evicted
tenants (cheers). Well then the rev.
gentleman from Ballincollig and anoth-
er very excellent priest, who himself
would not pretend that he is a very
eminent Irish Nationalist, 1 mean Can
ON Hegarty daughter and some slight
hissing)-I am sure there will be no
disrespect shown to him or any other
priest by this great assemblage (hear,
hear.
A yoice-He dimes with Smith-Bar-
ry.
Mr.. O'Brien-That is q perfectly fair
retort, and l do believe if Canon Heg-
arty had the courage of his convictions
that his candidate for Cork would not
be Mr.. Maurice Healy but Mr.. Smith
Barry Cheers. Those rev. gentlemen,
as well as the young gentlemen upon
whom his colleagues Of the Irish Bar
have conferred the title which will live
in history, they INDUCED in the old
shameful and cowardly taunt about
New Tipperary.
A Voice-Leaye them alone, William;
they are not worth talking about.
Mr.. O'Brien-I promise you l will
not leave them alone, and that the
gentleman who raised this topic yes
terday will never be heard again, If
you hear me through (cheers). The
taunt they have raised against me is
the taunt Of every Orange emergency
man in the country (cheers), and l
think it ten thousand pities that rev.
erend gentlemen in their high station,
do not refrain from soiling their lips
with such calumnies. Tt is not who
am ashamed of New Tipperary.
Whenever tell the full story Of New
Tipperary, L will be III position to cut
the flesh off the bones OF my accusers.
from whom these reverend gentlemen,
1 am sure most innocently and certain
ly not wisely take their information
(cheers). What is the fact as to New
Tipperary? Now, l dare say it Will
surprise you very much to hear that
had no more to do With the founding
of New Tipperary than | had to do
with the discovering Of America. The
whole project was arranged and the
contract for the building Of New Tip
perary was actually signed and en-
tered upon willie l was in prison
fo1 Int
nication whatever with me. Why
have never repudiated New Upper
airy? Why will l never rcpudiate it?
(Cheers) 1t is because, although the
credit is not mine, it will be told Of in
future times as one of those heroic i'll
cidelrts of Irish history which will stir
the blood of future Irishmen like the
story of the siege of Limerick and the
Bridge of Athlone loud cheers). New
Tipperary, in the words Of an illustri-
GUS Archbishop who is the foremost
man Of our race, DR.. Croke Qoud
cheers, "realized the heroic" (cheersj,
and the Hcaly family who now think
it good business to sheer and gibe at
New Tipperary were only too glad to
identify themselves with it in it's hey
day (cheers). Would you believe that
Mr.. Tim. Healy (groans) went down
to Tipperary while l was in prison
and made one of the most violent
speeches urging the tenants to give
up their homes, and his father in law,
Mr.. L. d. Sullivan, actually consti-
tuted himself the Poet Laureate of
New Tipperary, and composed II bal
lad and sang 1t ut the evening matinee
at New Tipperary, and the refrain Of
that ballad was
1.-The newest town in Ireland
Is the pride of all the land
loud cheers for Tipperary). Yes,e it
was the pride of I'LL the land until it
became the interest of the Healy fam
lily to- turn round and put up young
gentleman with Dublin title "a
Voice-'"rhe Pup') to repeat here and
join in the sneers and cries of Smith
Barry and Smith Barry's emergency
men (cheers). Will you believe It,
when we were in America in the year
1890, the story of New Tipperary was
the one thing the people wanted to
