KILKENNY CONTEST.

r I ‘'-HE struggle in Ireland, which centred in

I the election for North Kilkenny, was

AKe.bitisr5 efiâ'aria'

. .unflagging energy

Sunday was'

perhaps the busiest day of the week, and Mr. Parnell was msparing of himself in spite of the condition of his eyes. -peakirinfi^H win^Pl^ after some reference to id saia that what was thrown at him‘was not lime but mud .. flour, he declared if Sir John Pope-Hennessy were returned he should; feel that the prifcessrpf Ir^nd'jÉgdj been put back to the evil days of 1852, when the country, by the presence of another band of Pope-Hennessys, was left a corpse upon thè dissejclkig ta l^ l .T n those sad-dayS; the Irish parfejt-'Mad lef themsëlyes be driven from thé fiéld. by a combination of the clergy and the Keoghs and the Sadliers of that time. Mr. Parnell then announced that if he were beaten he would go from one constituency to another, from one county to another, from one village to another, and from one parish to another, to put what he knew before the people. It could not be but that he should win in the end. Mr. Parnell then astonished his hearers with one of those insulting personal attacks upon his late colleagues w-hich have done so much to embitter the contest and to make réconciliation impossible. It is not many months ago since speaking before a full meeting of the Irish Parliamentary party he hailed Mr. Justin M’Çarthyas his beau ideal of an -Irish member. At Kilkenny, he said of Mr. M’Carthy— “ After waiting for a week he telegraphed down to the hotel opposite to have a good stiff tumbler of whisky punch ready for him -àÉÉtìs:arrival, and a bath of miist»rd and hot-water for his feet, and I believe if you went over to him n o^p^ Wèiild'find him sitting m,a bstifiof ihusûçaàind hot-water stitt^ '-fié is ai^rÿiuri^}le.kirid of raaTff 'Hé is' a nice old gentleman ijfr ThiéjriA^notâ., solitary outburst.

A^l it is notjoo it was this sortlÉMÉaféstrairied language wh;ehrip®e thah MjjfcriA else pregp|(i fpebplp forJha^pfeat o f Mi, SÇufljr? ’i ment Mr. Parnell trusted chiefly to appeals to Irish sentiment. ¡Jnd exhortations not to submit to the dictation of

Épgljsh party leaders. I f they were yielded to now in such aTnattèr as the choice-ef an Iritjjviiader they would be quite sure to interfere later and vote the work of an Irish Parliament. Again and again Mr. Parnell rung the changes upon such phrases as : “ You are asked by these Englishmen to putyour leader on one side,tp|bj§w him into the common pits of the camp to rot there, and if they interfere in this matter— a matter which they admit belongs to us and to Us alone— what is to prevent them when we have got our Parliament from saying to us ‘ We do not approve of this thH dr .limit,thinftr ap jiy PAfftÉIfag you propose to do ?’ There is nothing in the world to prevent them talcing such an attitude, and■ if you yield to-day they will try it little later. Now is the time for Irishmen to take their stand. And Mr. Parnell was able, owingtothe rash resolutions of the Leinster Hall meeting, to maintain that that the voice of Ireland had confirmed his leadership in spite of the Divorce Court, until Mr. Gladstone brought English pressure to bear upon the party to make them go back upon their words and thpirivôté?. . ^peaking, ét Johnsweli, Mr. Parnell again

“ ithé qjuef,.'good-hearted soul of the name df JdstipVwC^h^’ who had'Been made leader in his place, “ a sort of man that would be an ornament to a quiet and eàrlÿ ipbparty." Then he described how eight other irièmbets o f Parliament hhd- Been selected to lead and .tpB .care of thé leader. . Perhaps thoughts about the leadership of the party are disclosed in these words: “ The men elected in 1885 to fill the Irish seats were men who were elected for a particular work, but they were not elected to sit in judgment on me, and when they arrogated to themselves the right to depose me I said to, them ‘ show me your authority, countersigned by the voice of the Irish people ; until you show me your warrant I decline to budge one single inch.’ ’V Mr. Parnell then placed his own past services in array and emphatically declared that he would never submit to defeat butjfigh* this Struggle out tQ the end and all over Ireland. On the other side the campaign was carried on by a number Of meeting^ held part of the consBtheocy- „The. chief ÎfewM KS^P^contest on the Nationalist side was borne by Mr.'Davitt and Mr. T. Healy.
