London, November 2L Parnell has issued is-sued his manifesto to the electors of Great Britain and Ireland, saying : The Liberals are aDDealincj tn fh lot m-a f A i a .WWVAO AW A OUJtJUl UJJ der false pretenses. The -Liberals have flagrantly violated the solemn pledges made to Ireland, and should be denounced. The coercion practices resorted to nnder their regime were the most brutal of coercion measures. Juries were packed in an unprecedented un-precedented number of cases with shame-lossness, shame-lossness, and innocent men hung or sent to A UVTNQ DEATH OF PENAL SERVITUDE." Twelves hundred persons were imprisoned without trial, and ladies were convicted under an obsolete act . which was directed against the degraded of their sex. The press and publio meetings were suppressed, as if Ireland were Poland, and the administration adminis-tration in England a Russian autocracy. - -The manifesto further says: Representatives Representa-tives of Liberalism in Ireland have been men like Mr. Foster and Earl Spencer, who have left more hateful memories in Ireland than any statesman for the past century. If a long-delayed triumph had not expelled the Liberals, Earl Spencer would still be at Dublin Dub-lin Castle, and coercion would be triumphant in Ireland. Landlords, instead of making REASONABLE ABATEMENTS IN BENTS, Which the depression in agriculture demanded, de-manded, and, which every landlord in England En-gland and Scotland conceded, would be evicting their tenants by wholesale, with Earl Spencer encouraging thorn, and the police, soldiery and coercion magistrates would have filled the jails in assisting them. TJNDEB THE NAME OF FBEE SCHOOLS The Liberals are making an insidious attempt at-tempt to crush religious education and establish a state of tyranny and intolerance to fetter the conscience. Therefore we feel bound to advise that no confidence be placed in the Liberal or Radical party; and as far possible to prevent the government of the empire rrom tailing into the hands of a party so perfidious, treacherous and incompetent the Irish Nationalists should not vote for a Liberal or Radical, except in some few cases,-in cases,-in which some courageous fealty to the Irish in the last Parliament has given a guarantee that the candidate did not belong to THE SEBVILE, COWABDLY. AND UNPRINCIPLED HEBD Who would break every pledge and violate every principle in obedience to the call of the whip or the mandate of the caucus.- |
