Cork, Oct. 24.-John Redmond. NJ. p,
in the course of the general reply which
he made here to the numerous adj
dresses presented to him, previous to
his departure for the United States.
laid particular stress on his conten-
ton that his mission to America could
be taken as proof that the reunion
which had occurred in Ireland had also
occurred in the United States, and that
England, hereafter. would have to fight
the worldwide Irish race Of 20,000.00O,
whose action Is only limited to one
consideration, namely, that all means
were honorable and just in the sight of
God. and who preferred to be linked to
the meanest free country on earth than
to the British empire
Mr.. Redmond also said that his mis-
sion to show England that she would
have to count hereafter on united
Irish race backed by the public opinion
and sympathy of 7O.0o0,00o of free peo-
pie in the American republic.
To-day public opinion in every civ
ilized nation was against England,
and one of her objects in going to
America was to prove to the English
statesmen that the public opinion OF
the world was upon the side of Ireland,
and that the public opinion of the
American nation, OF the leading Ameri-
can statesmen, and of all political
parties was in complete sympathy with
Ireland's demands for freedom. He
would be able to tell their brother In
,,ifN nd
courage of the Irish people at home.
Mr.. Redmond was escorted to the
railway station, on his way to Queens
town, by large crowd of ad-
mirers carrying torches and headed by
bands of music.
Among a variety of addresses and
communications which Mr.. Redmond
received today have been kilograms
from different parts OF England de-
nouncing his as a traitor.
The scene at the railway station Inn
mediately prior to Mr.. Redmond's de-
parture for Queenstown was one OF
extraordinary enthusiasm. A large
crowd. with bands, swept down the
barriers. erected to exclude the public
from platforms. planted flaming tar
barrels in front of the saloon carriage
in which Mr.. Redmond was seated and
played God Save Ireland" and the
Star Spangled Banner"
Addressing the crowd from the plat
form OF the car. Mr.. Redmond referred
to the attacks which the London Globe
had to apologize for last session at
the bar of parliament characterizing
these as .'scurrilous attacks upon the
Irish party
..And now. boiling with rage" he ex-
claimed, this paper is grossly insult
ing our brethren in America and assert
ing that we are going to the United
States to get subscriptions from Ameri-
can murder clubs.
This shows the blind, unreasoning
hatred and opinion held by representa-
tives of the British government, not
withstanding the fact that thru the
long list of officials and public men in
America from the presidency down,
there have been representatives of our
race"
Queenstown, Oct. 24.-Mr. Redmond
and the members of his party were
met on their arrival at the railway
station by various local bodies and
were then escorted to the town hall by
5000 people With torches.
Replying to number OF addresses.
Mr.. Redmond implored the people to
.ioin our national organization and
continue agitation during the winter
on such aggressive lines as will COM
pei the British government to grant
remedial measures"
