encies, and he had Healy nominated and elected
10 represent Wexford Borough in Parliament

Of the measure-which made a good sized vol

yention in Chicago, and while here he made
speeches all over the country.
During the stormy scenes attending the pas
sage OF Gladstone's Coercion act, Mr.. Healy
was one OF the foremost figures on the Irish
side. Cool and self-possessed while nearly
everybody else in the House affected by
the prevailing excitement Healy kept pouring
sarcasm and invective into the Ministerial
ranks. He appeared 10 have no reverence or re-
spect for anybody anything. and used every
weapon calculated to annoy or worry his op-

HOW HIS ENEMIES SUCCEEDED.

Dillon o'Brien. John Redmond and their asso-
ciates were wrathy with Healy. They found II
difficult, however. 10 get at him. His constitu-
ents in North Louth elected and reelected him
regardless OF opposition. and the disintegration
of the Land League left the country without
any national organization powerful enough to
issue and enforce orders
Recently. however William OBrien launched
the United Irish League Healy either did not
realize the strength Of the new movement OF he
felt secure enough TO be Indifferent TO it, At
any rate he poked all kinds OF fun at the
League its organizers and methods. The League
gained extraordinary popularity II was not
able 70 prevent Healy's reelection 10 Parliament

vention the other day II formally expelled him
from the Irish Parliamentary party. At the
same convention IL decided that the Irish

HIS STYLE OF oRAToRY.

Healy Is not the polished orator that Saxton
is. nor is his style of defamation so impassioned
as that of William OBrien. He is more analyti-
cal, more searching, in his discussion Of men and
measures. always seeking tender spot wherein
to insert his knife and then turn it around. He
is, too. something Of a. verbal caricaturist. and
has probably equal in the House in his capac-
ity to seize on personal characteristics and man
nerisms for the purpose Of mimicry exag-
geration.

He began TO break away from his chief when the
latter's infatuation for Mrs. O'Shea became
known 10 the inner circle. HeaIy said little. how
ever, until Parnell insisted on foisting Captain
OShea on an Irish constituency at the time that
the scandal was in progress. although not pub
Hcly known. Healy was then quite outspoken
among his colleagues in criticising Parner and
when the divorce proceedings laid bare every
thing to the world. the 'JTncrowned King Of Ire
land" had no bitterer critic than his former
secretary.

he had tasted freedom. and was apparently I'M
willing 10 be any more Obedient follower.
Perhaps he believed that Parneli's mantle should
have fallen 10 him. He had a considerable fol-
lowing among the Irish members Of Parliament
and among the Irish constituencies but was
never able to win support enough to reach the
leadership.
For while II seemed II ne might work
under the leadership Of John Dillon. but during
the session Of 1896 he set up in business for him
self with twenty-five followers in Parliament
