Tbe antl-Par-uell members of tbe Irish Parlla-nientv Parlla-nientv party have ic-diM maul-teste maul-teste to the Irish people. In tlt'i they say, in tart: Parnell, disregarding our appeals to temember the country, evinced au ill-judged determination to maintain main-tain his position, thus threatening to plunge Ireland into a conflict uhich anv overwhelm her, and caue her .resent fair pro-iects to disappear forever. It I" the duty of Irirnnicu now. lrresiectlve ofnll conridefatlon ol feeling, either for Parnell or those differing from him, to adopt a course that will tend to savu Ireland from destruction. The signers enumerated at length the rea-aua for their action. They specify chafgH agalrst Pwrnell as follows: First Hespeaksaslf he was1 fbs Injured party, whereas ho alone Is responsible for the present deplorable situatku I Secivsi! -He pledged hini-elf toj repel the charge Incounectlon wltli I theO.rim-a case, but when the time , came lie rennlnel silent. Third He dee not hesitate to J renounce -it'll deno'iiice the mull!- j tuJesof Knjlisli frieinN of Irish liberty a ' kuglisli wolves." Fourth The "l-ngH-h wolves" and thclri-h Mhps express the same opinion of Parneil, aud he cannot meiiJ matters by calling! nlcl;i:amt. If Parnell is re-elected 1 the Tory govt riimrnt will resume , pow er, cwrcioii receive a new Itaje j aud UiMStrngsle for home rule be lo-t to lh- livtiu- generation. The final question Jer the Irish nation 1 Istolcseall lor Pamell or win all without hira. ! The signers refue to abandon j GI ids-one for Parnell, or to ItrIston the I.ilieral leader revealiHg his plau for home rule, which action they say would be foolishly to give advantage to lrclJud'a foes. They refuse to lielleve that G!a Istone desired de-sired to dictate. Huwil btuni to publish his conviction that the retention re-tention of Parnell in tho leadership would wreck home rule. The signer" tillered Parnell an opportunity oppor-tunity of temporary retirement, wltbavleu to eventual reinstatement, reinstate-ment, but he uevrrgave the faintest chance of a settlement. His fatal tnahlfetto was an appeal tothe h'ttred between the people of Great Britain aud Ireland and makes It imposdble for him hereafter to cooperate co-operate with the Liberal rnrty. Tlie signers never desired Parnell, luit he them, and the honor of Ireland Ire-land Is tafe In their hands, through good or evil fortune. The signers pledge themselves to remain one Independent party, thus Incurring Una! victory for the Irish cause, uuder the auspices of the alliance cf British democracy and the Irish people. |
