Show w- EXCORIATED BY A PRIEST And the Crowd Hustle Him Oft the Speaker's Stand. London, July 22. Now that the excitement excite-ment of the political campaign has passed over some of those who were most violent a few days ago are beginning to realize that they have just emerged from a contest which has been characterized by more -than its share of bitterness and abuse. Stanley's experience with the electors of North Lambeth although surprising to one not familiar with the etiquette of British elections, elec-tions, was not a marker to the rabidness with which the memory of Parnell was assailed by the erstwhile subjects of the uncrowned un-crowned king. The Rev. Father Benham, at an anti-Par-nellit meeting in St. Stephen's green, Dublin, Dub-lin, opened his harangue by declaring that 1900 years ago a man named Herod, whose blasphemous follower declared his voice to be the voice of God, was struck dead. Today Parnell was constantly flung in their faces. This man, whose memory he detested, had been a curse; but God had thrust him down into the grave, and there his bonea were rotting and his flesh putrid. The speaker continued, saying that the Parnellites were men who did honor to las-civiousness. las-civiousness. Every man who liked to live a loose life, every drunkard, every man who liked to beat his wife, these were Parnellites. Every virtuous man was on the federation side. The Rev Father nudiprifft nntinH a few Parnellites, and, to their honor be it said, the speaker was hustled off the platform plat-form on short notice, and the meeting broken up. |
