All that has occurred in Ireland within the present century has been the natural outcome of attempting to govern her in her internal affairs by officials out of touch with the people, rather than letting her govern herself. Reform has been delayed and erudginely conceded. Abuses which should have been gradually ameliorated by concurrent legislation have been allowed to - accumulate—then to be swept away by outbursts of popular indignation in which unreasonable passions were sometimes let loose. Party after party has arisen, and striven, and suffered, and been wrecked, leaving some good accomplished, but in the frustration of their higher aims bequeathing seeds of bitterness to succeeding generations. No party arose to which the Irish people in large numbers accorded sympathy and support that was not in the main imbued with feelings of the loftiest _ patriotism, and a heroic spirit of self-sacrifice. In the agony and strife of those gloomy years it was felt by all who loved Ireland that at length some policy must be evolved, at length some party must arise, uniting the majority of Irishmen in some effort, which, whilst embodying: all essential for the happiness and honour of Ireland, would yet combine such a regard for the principles which must govern great communities at the present day, as to be acceptable to the British people and to British statesmen. We believe that party has appeared in Mr, PARNELL and. his followers; while in Mr. GLADSTONE is found a British statesman who has risen to the height of the occasion—who acknowledges that the spirit of Irish nationality must be iv Prefatory. recognized if the greatness of the British Empire is to be maintained. A proffer of substantial justice makes men incline to compromise and amenable to reason, and tends to obliterate many painful recollections and associations. Its effect in Ireland so far.is the best guarantee for the future peace of our country, whatever may be the present differences of opinion that separate the minority from the majority. It was with such feelings that many men, previously divided, or who had hitherto taken no part in politics, met to welcome the Marquis or Ripon and Mr. Moruzy to Dublin. Ever since Mr. GLADSTONE’S great message of peace—the Home Rule Bill—was laid upon the table of the House of Commons— Irishmen earnestly desired to welcome in their metropolis some leading British statesmen closely allied with Mr. GLADSTONE, authorized to speak his sentiments and represent his policy. ‘Ireland desired to honour them and to be guided and encouraged . by their counsels, at the same time fully aware that now as formerly she must depend chiefly upon her own deter- mination and her own leaders. The hearts of the English and the Irish people are being welded together as they never were before. The event which the following pages chronicle must tend to increase the growing confidence and good understanding between the nations. It being understood that LORD RIPON and Mr. MorLEy would visit Dublin early in the year, upon the 3rd January, after a preliminary conference, a meeting of those anxious to join in making arrangements for according them a suitable reception was held in the Central Hall, Westmoreland-street. Alderman KERNAN, locum tenens for the LorD Mayor, was called to the ‘chair. Honorary Officers were appointed. | Resolutions were passed providing for the formation of a Reception Committee and an Executive Committee. A substantial sum was subscribed: in the room towards the preliminary expenses. a Prefatory. Vv The services of an efficient Secretary and a staff of clerks were secured, offices were rented, and work was vigorously commenced. The MaRQuIS OF RIPON and Mr, MoRLEY were communicated with, and it was found that the 2nd February would suit them for the principal meeting. The Leinster Hall and its Annexes were engaged. It was decided to have a Conversazione. The Trades of Dublin agreed to turn out to welcome the visitors. The Corporation voted that the Freedom of the oy should be accorded them. So many Representative Bodies throughout the country desired to do them honour, that it was decided to devote part of one day to the reception of addresses at the Mansion House. Unfortunately the limits of this record preclude the printing in full of all but a few of the addresses then presented. ‘he manner in which everything passed off is deeply satisfactory to all privileged to join in the work. It was thought that the balance at the disposal of the Committee could not be better employed than in publishing this Record of the proceedings. It 1s based mainly upon the reports in the Freeman’s Journal. The MARQuIS oF RIPON and Mr. Moruey have corrected their principal speeches. The list of the Reception Committee has been altered in accordance with such corrections as have appeared in the public press. May the motto of the occasion, “ The Friendship of T’wo Peoples is the safety of both,” be illustrated by the practical working of the Gladstone-Parnell policy in [reland, which is sooner or later inevitable.

Dr. Walsh, Archbishop of Dublin. TO THE EDITOR OF THE FREEMAN’S JOURNAL, Roms, 1st February, 1888, DEAR SIR, _Last Thursday’s Evening Mail. has been sent to me. I feel bound to protest against statements regarding me in the leading article as altogether misleading. So far from refusing to welcome Mr. Morley, I venture to say that there is no one in Ireland who welcomes him more cordially thanI do. I deeply regret that my absence from Dublin hinders me from personally taking part in his reception. ‘T'wo years ago, in the address quoted by the Evening Mail, I stated, and gave my reasons forit, that I greeted him with unstinted welcome on his appointment as Chief Secretary. I greet him no less warmly on the occasion of his present visit. Mr. Morley’s political views do not lead - him to favour the establishment of popular institutions, and of representative government in countries where they are likely to work adversely to Catholic interests, and to withhold them from a Catholic country like Ireland. With Lord Ripon he now comes to us as the representative of the only policy as yet before the country, which comprises the requisites essential to a full settle- ment of the Irish difficulty. The greater our anxiety for peace, the more out- spoken must be our advocacy of that policy, until some better policy be put in its place. If such can be done, no one, I am sure, will welcome that larger measure of justice to Ireland more joyously than the venerable leader of the English Liberal party, and among the most devoted of his followers none, I am sure, will more loyally co-operate with him: in furthering its enactment than the two statesmen whose loyalty to him has:already been so abundantly proved, and whom on that, as well as on the other grounds, our grateful people now welcome as honoured guests. --« 4 WILLIAM J.

Shanks, T.¢, As the boat steamed in a ringing cheer was raised, which was continued whilst Lord Ripon and Mr. Morley walked to the roadway leading to the pier. Here they took their places in the carriage of the Lord Mayor, and drove to the Royal Marine Hotel. The Bray, St. Kevin’s, and other bands played on the way, and the enormous concourse of people who gathered along ‘the roadway cheered again and again with unbounded enthusiasm. In the hotel the address unanimously voted by the Kingstown Commissioners was presented. Mr. LAURENCE M‘NALLY, Chairman of the Town Commis- “sioners, said— “On behalf of the Board of Commissioners of this great and -important township of Kingstown I give you our most hearty -welcome here to Ireland, and also have the great pleasure of pre- ‘senting you with an address. I may say that in the history of our township I believe that this is the first occasion upon which an _address with the municipal seal attached to it, has been presented to two such eminent statesmen, who have come here to-day with ‘a message of peace and eoodwill from that great democratic power -in England, Scotland and Wales, of which the greatest statesman living is the leader. JI welcome you also as the harbingers of that ‘good time which: we in this country most devoutly wish for, “when we shall have given to us the full measure of justice which ‘we expect from such noble statesmen as the representatives of the ‘democratic power I have mentioned—that is the right, the inalien- able right and divine right, to govern ourselves, and by that means aid in bringing about that good-will, friendship and contentment -which should exist between the people of those countries. And ‘when that takes place. as 1 hope it may soon, very soon, it will be ‘the means of establishing and securing that real union between ‘the people of this country and the noble country from which you come. Now, my Lord Ripon and Mr. Morley, I have travelled myself a little and know what it is to be tired, and therefore. I will not take up your time any longer. -Besides, I know there are a great number of addresses—in fact, ‘an unprecedented number . of addresses—to be presented to you in the City of Dublin. I will, therefore, with your kind ‘permission, ask our’ Town Clerk to read you the address. T may ‘say at the same time that I have the distinguished honour of ‘Stating that as we are the first body to give you welcome to our country, so are we also the most important bowmap in the country.” « Reception. ra -° Mr, JoHN DONNELLY, Town Clerk, then read the following -address :—~ To tHE Most NosLe THE MARQUIS or RIPON, K.G., AND THE Rieut Hon. ; JOHN MORLEY, M.P. We, the Commissioners of the Township of Kingstown, offer to you a “respectful and hearty welcome ; a welcome which we are sure is the forerunner ‘of that which you will receive from the entire people. We believe that it is. the first occasion upon which two statesmen of such eminence have come to Ireland to offer to her, on the part of a great and historic English party, the restoration of that right of self-government which is the birthright of freemen, _and which alone can bring peace and prosperity to the country, and bring ,about the true union of the two countries, based upon justice and mutual respect. So noble a mission of good-will and of reconciliation could not have ‘been entrusted to worthier hands for you, Lord Ripon, have throughout your — whole career shown your sympathy with the oppressed, and we do not fail to remember that you, Mr. Morley, were one of the earliest and most fearless. ‘champions in England of the cause of Self-government for Ireland. You will find this country suffering under a system of unparalleled coercion; her most beloved and respected sons imprisoned and tortured for no crime, save that of devotion to the poor and helpless ; the constitutional rights of free speech, of a free Press, and of public meetings abrogated by law, and the liberty of every man in the community placed at the mercy of paid officials, removable at the will of an unscrupulous Executive. Nevertheless you will find our people hopeful, self-reliant, patient, and determined, resolved that no act of theirs shall embarrass or delay the progress of the great movement in England for justice to Ireland, which yourepresent. ‘This attitude of the people is caused by their confident belief, that the eyes of Englishmen have at last been opened to the true merits of the Irish question ; that the democracy of England will soon sweep from power the present Administration ; that under the leadership: of your great chief, Mr. Gladstone, Ireland will be conceded those rights to which she is entitled—the feud between the two nations will thus be finally terminated, and that Ireland may thereby at last be permitted to take her true: position as portion of a great and united empire. We take the opportunity of congratulating you, Mr, Morley, on your restoration of health, and earnestly trust that your mission may be productive of all the good which we hope from it. Sealed, with the Corporate Seal of the Township of Kingstown, this 28th day of January, 1888, in presence of ; LAURENCE M‘NALLy, Chairman. JOHN DONNELLY, Town Clerk. The MARQUIS OF RipoN—*“ Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen— On my own behalf I heartily thank you both for the very cordial welcome which you have been good enough to accord this evening to my right honorable friend and myself, and also for the address which you have just presented us with. In the remarks which you, Mr. Chairman, have made, and in the language of that address. I find proof that you have realised the object which has brought us to this country. We accepted the intimation of a desire that we should visit Dublin in the hope that by complying with that wish it might be in our power to do something to lay the foundation for a closer and more intimate—I might also hope 28 Reception, as regards the future—a more affectionate union between the British and the Irish peoples. This great object, I rejoice tothink, was the policy of the great party with which my right honorable friend and myself have the honour to be associated. We have come with the hope and with the intention of expressing, not only on our own behalf, but I think I am not mistaken when I say on behalf of the Liberal party of England and Scotland, to express the deep sympathy which we feel for the Irish people under the trying circumstances under which they are now placed, We come also for the purpose of declaring that in our opinion the time has arrived when the system of repression and coercion should cease for ever. It has been tried too long, and experience has shown that it is barren of beneficial results, and that the time, we believe, has now arrived when, ‘turning from this exploded system of Government, we should endeavour to make the union between these two islands real, substantial and honest, granting to the Irish people that self-government to which we believe they are justly entitled. On my own behalf I heartily thank you.” Mr. MortEY—“ Mr. Chairman and gentlemen— J feel as strongly as Lord Ripon the kindness of the welcome which you have been good enough to extend to us, and I may perhaps say I am particularly grateful for the personal reference you have done me the honour to put in that address. I felt sure during my days of illness that I should have had with me the sympathy and goodwill of many unknown friends among the people of Ireland. Gentlemen, it isa year and a half since I left Kingstown Harbour, and I should have been glad if I could come back and find the state of your country happier now than it was then. I am sorry to say that, so far as we can judge, your country is far less happy; the outlook for the moment far less promising and less bright than it was when I left your shores as one of the principal Ministers of its Govern- ment. Well, that is a great misfortune. Even if our successors could not have accepted a policy which we had endeavoured to press on our countrymen, they might at least have availed themselves of the calm which had been brought into Ireland by our efforts, of that good feeling which had been brought forth by our efforts, they might have availed themselves of that to make some policy of their own. They had no policy, and the result has been the lamentable condition of things which we all, both | Englishmen and Irishmen, must deplore to-day. Gentlemen, they Say in the London papers this morning that the visit of Lord Ripon and myself to Ireland has no precedent in the annals of the rela- tions between the two countries. Why, of course, gentlemen, that is the very point of the thing. We want new precedents, new relations. I think there is no land on,the surface of the habitable globe that has less reason to admire and respect the old precedents Reception, 29° than your country. I won’t detain you now. You know, and Lord Ripon has told you, and your address shows that you. appreciate, the reason for which we have come and the errand on which we have come. We come with amessage of hope. We come to convey to you the assurance of the sympathy and support, both of important leaders and of a great multitude of our countrymen, in your struggle for that wise and necessary consti- tutional change which we believe, and you believe, to be an indispensable condition of abating those moral and material evils from which Ireland is now suffering, and has too long suffered.” The visitors were then introduced to the Commissioners and other gentlemen present, and received the warmest expressions of welcome and good will. FROM MONKSTOWN TO DUBLIN. During the short stay of the vistors at the hotel a crowd gathered on the open space in front of the building. A large number of torches threw their bright glare on the faces of the people. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed, At half-past six Lord Ripon and Mr. Morley appeared at the entrance and were greeted with a tremendous outburst of cheering. The scene at. this point was striking and picturesque. Along the route leading from the hotel was one mass of people. Lord Ripon, Mr. Morley, and Alderman Kernan entered the Lord Mayor’s carriage, the members of the Reception Committee taking their places in five open landaus that were in waiting. After some little time a way was with difficulty made, and the procession to town began. ~The way was led by St. Kevin’s Temperance Band, Bray, which accompanied the Michael Davitt branch of the National League and the O’Byrne Gaelic Athletic Association. The streets in the township were one blaze of light. In front of some of the business premises handsome gas devices had been erected. All the way to the limit of the town- ship and the road leading to Dublin the demonstration was continued. MET BY A PROCESSION. Before six o'clock the Dublin procession began to form along the streets extending from Mouni-street bridge to the corner of Harcourt-row. The stewards and marshals, of whom there were fifty, had but little difficulty in getting the different bodies into the places allotted as they marched up. During the wait for the arrival of the visitors an interesting incident took place. Mr. T. D. Sullivan, M.P., who had arrived at the Kingsbridge station direct from prison in Tullamore, at once proceeded to 30 Reception. Mount-street bridge, where he received a very hearty greeting from the assembled trades. He was met by a number of the prominent promoters of the trades’ demonstration, who welcomed him and hoped that his imprisonment had not affected his health. Mr. Sullivan replied that he was well able for the tear and wear of such proceedings. As regarded his health, it was not at: all injured, though he believed such a trial as Mr. O’Brien had gone through, and Alderman Hooper and Mr. Lane were going through might affect his health but not his patriotism. He was warmly greeted on all sides, men, women, and children shaking hands with him as he passed on his way to welcome the visitors at the corner of Haddington-road. As Mr. Sullivan passed the Fire Brigade men each man took. off his helmet and cheered. Captain Boyle, addressing Mr. Sullivan, said he was glad to see him once more, and to know that he had come well out of Tullamore, to take a front part in that demonstration. Mr. Sullivan thanked Captain Boyle for his kind observations, but he regretted to see that the Brigade nad had very hard work to go through during the last few months. Captain Boyle—“ Not half as hard as you had to go through, sir, for the last few months.” Mr. Sullivan—‘I am not a bit the worse for it, and would go through it again if required.” Mr. Sullivan’s. carriage, while waiting for the arrival of the procession, was surrounded by a large crowd, many of whom shook hands and wished him well. Mr. Sullivan replied to many of them that he was ready for another bout of it, as he had no doubt that every one of the party would do the same. Amongst those who congratulated Mr. Sullivan were Mr. William Anderson, Manager of the Tramway Company; Mr. Clarke, Vice-President of the United Trades’ Council ; and Alderman Burke. Mr. Clarke said that were it not for that demonstration to-night, and that they were told by others that it would not do to have the demonstrations for the same object upon the same night, twenty- five thousand tradesmen of Dublin would have welcomed him : upon his release; but they were informed that he wished to enter the city quietly. The procession while drawn up and waiting the arrival of the visitors, stretched in a double line from Westland- -row over Mount-street Bridge to Northumberland-road. At first there was a confused mass of men and flags and flaring torches, stacks of flags at intervals, frequent bands and horsemen scattered here and there. But out of the apparent disorder in a short time an imposing column of processionists was formed. Mr. Coleman was chief marshal, with Messrs. Cox, Talbot, Kelly, and Costelloe as lieutenants, and they did effective work in assigning their proper places to the different contingents. The pr eliminary work in arranging for the demonstration was dis- charged by a committee, of which Mr. John Simmons was Jteception., ah) President, and Messrs. Keegan, Clarke, Hutchinson, and Tyrrell ‘were prominent members, and it is to their exertions that a great- deal of the success was due.

When Ballsbridge was reached the first contingent of this procession was met. Far ahead could be seen the light of torches. Lining Northumberland-road were the mounted carmen, and behind them the pathways were crowded with people, who burst into a cheer that was taken up along the line, and scarcely ceased. during the entire journey across the city. The arrangements at Mount-street were admirable, and the police assisted the stewards in every way they could to carry out the programme laid down by the committee. Lower Mount-street was a dense mass of human beings, all displaying the utmost good humour and the most unbounded enthusiasm. Several of the houses in Mount-street were illuminated, and at short intervals coloured lights were burned with brilliant effect. Along Merrion square there was another vast crowd, and some of the houses were illuminated. Turning into Harcourt place the narrowed space rendered the passage somewhat difficult, but, with a little patience, a way was. cleared for the carriages, and Westland-row was reached, where there was a scene of great enthusiasm. Along Brunswick-street. the storm of cheering was renewed, and seemed to gain in volume as the visitors approached towards the end of their journey. In D’Olier-street, where the cheering was taken up with great heartiness, it served as a signal for the vast multitude thronging O’Connell-street and the great thoroughfare beyond, from whom came a regal acclaim. Across O’Connell-bridge the statue of O’Connell was conspicuous, filled as it was from the base to the figure with people clinging to anything and everything that would enable them to keep their coigns of vantage at an elevation sufficient for a good view. It was in ey Connell-street that the demonstration reached its climax. It would be impossible to convey anything like an adequate impression of the procession as if wended its illuminated way through the assembled crowds. From the Bridge to the / A() Reception. Rotunda the street was packed at each side with spectators, Blue, red and green lights were burned in several of the windows. Thousands of voices joined in swelling the chorus of cheers, which never ceased till the last of the procession had passed up Rutland-square, where the mighty applause was continued. The order, regularity and decorum with which the procession passed through the streets were highly creditable to the citizens. No disorder whatever prevailed. The different trades and societies fell into line in their proper places with all the regularity of disciplined bodies, and from the start in Harcourt-place to the finish in Rutland-square no unpleasant incident or hitch of any kind occurred to mar the great demonstration. THE MARCH PAST. A force of Metropolitan Police was drawn up in Rutland- square. The police kept a clear passage across the pathway, and the occupants of the carriages had no difficulty in reaching Mr. Walker’s house. Coloured lights were shown on all sides, and rockets were discharged from the roofs of the houses. The procession then occupied nearly an hour and a half in the march past the house to the enlivening music of the various bands. LORD RIPON AND MR. MORLEY RETURN THANKS. At the conclusion cheers were given again and again for Lord Ripon, Mr. Morley, Mr. Gladstone, and the Irish leaders. In response to repeated calls, Mr. E. D. Gray, M.P., appeared at the door, and escorted Lord Ripon to the head of the steps. They reeeived an enthusiastic greeting. Mr. GRAY said—“ Men of Dublin, I don’t think I ever felt so proud of being one of your representatives as I do to-night, when you have given such a magnificent display of your patriotism, your enthusiasm, and your power of self-control. But, as you understand, this is no time for speechmaking, and I would ask you now, after introducing the Marquis of Ripon to you, quietly to disperse, because our guests are very tired to-night.” The MARQUIS OF RIPON—“ Gentlemen, on behalf of Mr. Morley and myself I beg to tender to you our heartiest thanks for the extraordinary welcome which you have accorded to us this evening. I thank you most sincerely, and I heartily trust that the visit which has been so auspiciously commenced may tend to unite in cordial bonds the Irish and British peoples.” Lord Ripon and Mr. Dwyer Gray then drove off amid cheers. The people did not disperse, but called repeatedly for Mr. Morley. After a few minutes the right hon. gentleman made his appear- ance, and was loudly welcomed. . Mr. MORLEY said—“ Gentlemen, you have to-night afforded me the most extraordinary and stirring spectacle that it has ever been my good fortune to behold. I have always understood that Reception. AL the Irish people show very great gratitude for small services. Gentlemen, our services to you have hitherto been very small. Your gratitude, as shown to-night, has been overabounding. I can only hope that we shall show ourselves still more worthy — in the future of your esteem and gratitude than we have been able to do in the past.” The vast crowds then dispersed quietly. From the beginning to the end, the demonstration was marked by the most perfect order. The various bands, trade societies, and other bodies whick formed the procession, separated in Rutland-square, and returned to their rooms without the slightest disorder. The streets along the line of route were almost impassable for some time with the returning crowds, but no accident or disagreeable incident of any kind occurred to mar the effect of the great demonstration. Many of the streets outside the route of procession were - illuminated with gas jets and coloured lights, and on the hills around the city some bonfires were alight till after midnight. EVENING RECEPTION. In the evening Mrs. E. D. Gray gave a reception at Pembroke House, in honour of the visitors, to which about six hundred guests received invitations.

AS strangers—amongst us, whose words you are naturally impatient to hear. I must express my sorrow for the circumstances which deprive us to-day of the pleasure of having the Lord Mayor of Dublin in the chair. I have received a letter written by the Right Hon. Thomas Sexton, Lord Mayor of Dublin, to the Town Clerk, in which he expresses his regret that the condition of his health prevents him from having the pleasure of presiding on this important and historic occasion. A member of our Town Council, Mr. Little, has also written an apology for his non-attendance ; but our honoured guests will know that there is no patriotic citizen of Dublin, and no patriotic Irishman, who would not desire to be present here to-day. We have no building in Dublin that would contain the multitudes who thronged the streets last night to give evidence of the feeling which prevails in the hearts. of our people. They turned out in their thousands to give welcome, and amongst this vast multitude I am glad to know that nota Single unpleasant incident occurred. I have no doubt that the sight witnessed in our city last night has made upon the minds of our friends a deep impression. The compliment we have just paid to those distinguished gentlemen is the highest that it is in our power to bestow. If there was any higher or greater compliment that the citizens of Dublin and the people of Ireland could pay to those two representatives of the goodwill of the English people, who bring to us a message of hope, a message of joy—if there was any higher compli- ment in our power to bestow, it would be bestowed most cordially and heartily. We have some amongst us who choose to pretend at least to underrate the significance of such a demonstra- tion as this to-day. ‘The mass of the people were in the streets last night, the elected representatives of our people are present in this hall to-day. We have been told of late that some superior persons who have been elected by nobody, and who represent nothing, should count for more than the masses and the elected representa- tives of this country. I have read lately that we have not taking part in these proceedings very many bank directors. Well, to think that these gentlemen should outweigh the mass of the people is an idea foreign to the British Constitution. There is no ground or precedent for it. It is not upon any such theory as that that political reforms have been effected. I have said that our friends here to-day come to us as the bearers of good tidings, and they come at a very notable moment. At the present time a grievous strain is being put upon the patience and the temper of the Irish people ; our countrymen are being tortured and oppressed in sucha manner as would be hard to bear by the people of any country in the world, and must be hard to bear by Irishmen, who are not supposed to be the coldest blooded people in the world. If they were showing good temper and patience it was because of the knowledge that they had the sympathy of a great and 46 Freedom of the Citu, powerful party in England and the greatest man of the English race. It is because of that knowledge and the con- fidence it inspires in the minds of our people that they are bearing so nobly the strain that is being put upon them. Tt is hard for us to be cool and calm when we see such men, patterns of civic virtue and stainless lives—-such as William | O’Brien, as William J. Lane, of Cork, as Alderman Hooper— being subjected to cruelties although they have committed no offence against any righteous law. These gentlemen in the neighbouring building are writing a.brief but shameful chapter in the history of England. I think my countrymen know that JT have done my best to pay back insult and scorn when they were being heaped upon us, but I am glad to see that this phase of feeling is passing away from the hearts of the people of both countries. I could not receive more cordial or more warm ex- pressions of sympathy than I received during the time of my imprisonment from English ladies and gentlemen whose faces IT have never seen. They are ashamed that the fame of England. should be tarnished with such cruelties as those being perpe- trated here. We have here to-day Lord Ripon, who is marked out to play a high anda noble part in the history of our country. He took a similar part amongst another people, a people who were not too well ruled in their own land, and before whom he hoped there was a bright and happy future. Lord Ripon was a peacemaker in India, and he was carrying out the same high and noble idea in Ireland. I have again to regret the absence of the Lord Mayor, but I hope that he will soon be restored to health to take his part in many more demonstrations of this kind before the year 1888 has drawn to a close,” The MARQUIS OF RIPON, who was received with enthusiastic cheers, said :— “ Gentlemen of the Corporation of the City of Dublin, Ladies and Gentlemen—I can assure you that I am deeply grateful for the honour which the Corporation of Dublin have conferred upon me in granting me the freedom of this your metropolitan city. Ihave always entertained very great respect for municipal institutions, and I have set a very high value upon their existence in a free country; and therefore the honour which you -do me to-day is one that is very gratifying to my feelings. But, sir, lt think I should be wrong if I were to regard the granting of your freedom upon this occasion in. the light of the ordinary compli- ment of a municipal distinction. The Corporation of Dublin is the foremost representative body in Ireland at the present time ; but I must, sir, plead guilty to a very earnest desire to remove this Corporation from that distinguished position at the earliest opportunity in my power. But I think I am not wrong in saying that to-day, and under the circumstances of the present Freedom of the City.. 47 moment, the Corporation of Dublin may be taken to speak on behalf of the majority, the vast majority, of the other corpora- tions of this country, and in the name of the overwhelming majority of the Irish people. And therefore, sir, ] am ready to think that in becoming a freeman of the city of Dublin I have been brought into near and close association with the feelings and aspirations of the Irish people. And I rejoice that that should be the case, because it is the object of the visit of my right honorable friend and myself to assure the Irish people not only of our sympathy with them under the trying circumstances in which they find themselves at present—but if I am not mistaken, of the heartfelt sympathy of the great party with which my right honor- able friend and myself are so proud to be connected, the Liberal party of Great Britain—and to assure them also that it is the object of British Liberals to see accorded to them at the earliest opportunity a full recognition of their real and legitimate political aspirations. During the last few months events which have been going on in Ireland have led Englishmen and Scotchmen of every class to visit this country. Members of Parliament, private gentlemen and chosen representatives of the working classes have come to lreland-—have come to Ireland for the purpose of seeing what is the real condition of affairs in this country, of forming their own judgment upon it, and of obtaining some knowledge of the character and the spirit of the Administration by which you are ruled. Now, sir, these visits, too long postponed—for { heartily wish the people of my country had earlier endeavoured to come to a real and practical knowledge of the state of things in freland, and of the character of the Administration of this country. These visits have been, if I mistake not, to those who have made them of the very highest interest; and the scenes which they have witnessed, and the information which they have gathered, has made, so far as I am able to judge, a very deep impression upon the minds of my countrymen. _ And, ladies and gentlemen, that has been the case because what they have seen has disclosed to them for the first time the deep and broad distinction which exists between the temper and the methods of English and of Irish Administration. This has been to many, I know, a startling revelation, and it has brought about in the minds, I believe, of the majority of the British people—I know of a very large and growing proportion of that community —a conviction that the system which they have witnessed in this country is one which ought to be brought to a speedy end. I am little inclined to blame individuals or to indulge in per- sonal attacks. It is the system, as it seems to me, which is bad. It is the system which ought to be condemned—a system _ corrupting alike, to the Government and the governed. And those who have been here have carried back with them and are spreading in every part of the land—the lesson 48 Freedom of the City. that the system of administration in Ireland needs thorough and fundamental reform. Now, ladies and gentlemen, the upshot of these inquiries and examinations has been a growing and strengthening conviction among the great masses of the English people of the justice and wisdom of Home Rule— a system of Home Rule for Ireland which will give to the Irish people the management and control of their own affairs,. while preserving unimpaired the unity of the Empire, and which will also secure to Irishmen the full enjoyment of those liberties: which are the cherished inheritance of every Englishman and Scotchman; and I believe I speak the sentiments of a large portion of my fellow-countrymen when I say ,that they are becoming daily more and more convinced that the concession of Home Rule to Ireland is a necessity for Great Britain and for Treland alike. Now, sir, we have come here on this occasion to assure you of sympathy on the part of those with whom we are politically connected, and to tell you of the strong conviction which is growing in the minds of our countrymen in favour of a reasonable concession of Home Rule to Ireland. It seems to me that you of the Corporation of Dublin, in making us to-day free of your city, have been doing an act truly symbolical of the deepening friendship and strengthening union—which is growing more and more every day—between the British and Irish people. Sir, as I cast my eyes upon that roll on which our names are now inscribed, I perceive that before those names were written there was upon it the name of but one Englishman—doubtless that Englishman was a man of transcendent talent, well deserving to receive from any portion of her Majesty’s subjects the very highest token of honour—I mean my honoured leader, Mr. Gladstone. In one sense, doubtless, ladies and gentlemen, I highly appreciate the value of receiving a gift of such rarity, and J am proud to find my name written upon the roll upon which is subscribed also the name of my great chief. But, sir, in another sense [ cannot advert to the fact that before the names just inscribed only one Englishman was thus: honoured by the Corporation of Dublin without feeling that it is a melancholy mark of the deep separation which has in the past, for so many generations, divided the Irish people from English public men—a separation which has been the fruitful mother of misunderstanding, the cause of the gravest errors,. and the source of the most grievous mischief. Ladies and gentlemen, I cannot say that in the past you have always been just to Englishmen, but [ must admit, with shame, that Englishmen have too often been unjust to you. It is time to put an end to this state of things. It is time to recognise that an Empire cannot be consolidated, and a lasting policy cannot be built up by the coarse and ineffective instrumentality . of force. I still hold, whoever may desert it, to the great an Freedom of the City. 49 pregnant saying, that ‘force is no remedy.’ We must seek for another and a better way. The past, ladies and gentle- men, has been marked by a formal Union between Great Britain and Ireland, that has withheld from you the rights to which you were justly entitled, and also by a deep separation, deeply injurious to the English and Irish peoples alike. We have come now in the hope that we may be able to do some little to make that Union real, to put an end for ever to that fatal separation, and to found the Union of the Three Kingdoms on the only safe and sound basis—the real union of the heart and will of the three peoples. Sir, I stand in the midst of this Corporation and beneath the statue of O’Connell, to whom we English Catholics owe so largely the political equality which we now enjoy, and I cannot forget that it was in the midst of your Corporation that that great Irishman in 1843 brought his powerful indictment against the system of English Government in Ireland at that time—a system, I regret to say, which in some of its worst features, continues down to the present time. It is our purpose, as I have said, backed by your wisdom and forbearance, and backed by the support of the British people, to reform and to improve that system ; and, therefore, sir, it seems to me very appropriate that after the extraordi- nary and heart-stirring ‘reception which we received yesterday evening from the people of Dublin—a_ reception which will never fade from our recollection—that you, the repre- sentatives of the people, should come forward to give official and formal expression to the popular voice, and thereby to afford to us the highest encouragement to carry on the great work to which we have all set our hands, and never to rest until the Union between Great Britain and Ireland shall be rendered lasting and secure.” Mr. MORLEY, who was loudly cheered on rising, said :— ‘Mr. Sullivan and Gentlemen of the Corporation of Dublin, Ladies and Gentlemen, I can assure you that | appreciate with all my heart the very great compliment that you have paid me. The occasion is, as everyone who takes part in it must recognise, and as Mr. Sullivan said truly, a historic occasion. We are the first Englishmen who follow the name of the greatest of living Englishmen. It is well that Mr. Gladstone’s name should stand first upon this roll, because I venture to prophesy, and you will _all agree with me, when this roll has crumbled to dust, the name and the memory of .Mr. Gladstone will be enshrined in the hearts of Irishmen in every part of the earth where Irishmen are to be found. But, gentlemen, my position is, in one respect, a little more singular than that of my noble friend. I believe I am. the first—in fact I am sure that I am the first—member of Her Majesty’s Privy Council in Ireland who has been admitted _to the honour of the freedom of your city. _I hope that this is not 50 Freedom of the City. the last bridge and conduit-pipe between this hall and Corporation next door and the great governing establishment. In adorning this hall, though I am the first member of the Irish Government whom you have admitted, you have given admission to one pre- decessor of mine in the Jrish Administration who was not an Trishman, but whose earnest desire to do what was good and just to Ireland has never been denied and has won for the name of Drummond eternal honour. I am heartily glad to have this opportunity of meeting the Corporation of Dublin ; because lL wish to say that, so far as I can learn, the Corporation of Dublin is not open to those charges which have oeen rather ungenerously made against it by those who ought to have known much better. The Corporation of Dublin, so far from being open to those charges, is a body second to none in the United Kingdom for the devotion with which it applies the public resources to the public advantage. It is second to none for its public spirit; and [I believe that it has come through all the examinations and ordeals to which it has been exposed, with a character which every friend of local re presentative government must rejoice to find. But, gentlemen, it is not merely for an act of honour done to us as individuals that this occasion is remarkable. You have paid us this great honour and conferred this distinc- tion upon us, because we are believed—and I hope truly believed— to represent a great political cause and the advancement of a great political reform in Ireland. So far as my own share in this great work is concerned, I have not, like my noble friend, the credentials of great experience and long Parliamentary standing ; ; and I may have not always judged rightly of Irish affairs within the last eight years. But I may claim that I have from the earliest days— twenty years ago, when I was studying the career of the greatest of Irishmen—Edmund Burke—down to the day when I entered the not very radiant precincts next door—I have never lost my conviction that the greatest triumph that an Englishman cou!d achieve would be to reconcile the people of England and the people of Ireland, and that for that reconciliation we must look in one direction, and in one direction only, and that is, giving to Irishmen—restoring to Irishmen, a fair and proper share in the management of the affairs of their country. We had last night a very remarkable ‘proof that in conferring this honour upon us to-day, the people of Dublin warmly and even enthusiastically concurred. I have seen in my time a good many outpourings of crowds in great capitals, and I say it with all sincerity, that never in my life have I seen a great assemblage animated with so fine a spirit, behaving with such good humour and good nature, showing us clearly that they knew and fully and earnestly appreciated the purpose for which they had gathered together. Mr. Sullivan has rightly said that that will make a great impression on the minds of our fellow-countrymen Freedom of the City. D1 in England. It will convince them that we were not wrong when we said that the great majority of the people of Ireland— are not, as Mr. Sullivan said they are not, Separatists. That vast crowd expressed the national aspirations of Ireland, while they knew that my noble friend and myself were members of the Government of the Queen, and do not forget and have not forgotten the obligation which it imposes. But, as Mr. Sullivan said, there are new doctrines in these later days. The doctrine was broached, not long ago at the Leinster Hall by an Englishman —the doctrine that you. must not count heads. You must, I suppose, weigh purses. We were told that the Government which was attacked united the wealth, the intelligence, and the industry of the country. Well, these are modest claims on the part of our friends who met in the Leinster Hall. As far as wealth is concerned, I wonder where the wealth of Ireland comes from, if it does not come from the labours of the people of Ireland. As far as intelligence goes—well, that is a very delicate point. Wein England should not be prepared to admit the claims of the handful of gentlemen who arrogate to, them- selves the possession of the intelligence of Ireland. Gentlemen, all these are the politics of a past age. These were. the arguments with whichs the first Grattan and O’Connell were met by the Fitzgibbons, the Beresfords, and the whole party of Ascendency. They are the arguments which were opposed to the conferring of the franchise on the Catholics in 793, to the relaxation of the Catholic disabilities for public employment and office, to the admission of Catholics to Parhament. These are the very same arguments as were used by Mr. Goschen and others who said, ‘Is it to be tolerated that a change should be made which was not approved of and not required by the wealth and intelligence of the country?’ It was a bad argument in those days, and it is a worse argument in these. I repeat, these are now antediluvian politics. It is only a couple of years ago since the possessors of the county franchise in Ireland were extended from, I think, 161,000 to something like 600,000, or nearly fourfold. Was that a farce? When the Legislature extended the franchise in Ireland, did they mean merely to give you husk and no kernel? It was a grievous farce, it was a grievous error to allow the public voice in Ireland a louder opening, a wider expression, if no attention was to be paid to it, and if the British Legislature was to go on listening only to the old minority. What is the use, 1 ask you, of erecting all this tiresome and baffling machinery of Government by Consent if you intended after all to practise Government by Defiance? If they practise Government by Defiance they cannot be surprised if it is met by defiance. We Liberals, prefer Government by Consent, and our wish and our desire, and the policy of the party to which we belong, is so to reform and adjust the machinery of government that we shall have 52 Freedom of the City. the public law and the public sentiment on one and the same side. I would like to put to the men of business, men of capital, labourers in industrial enterprise in Dublin and the rest of Jreland—a plain question. Look back over the smoking track of the last eight years, and let them ask themselves whether they can look forward to another eight years as perturbed as the last with any expectation that that will revive and encourage the trade: and the commerce either of this city or of the rest of Ireland, Tt don’t mean to exaggerate—I don’t want to do what my country- men are too fond of doing—to look at Ireland and its proceedings under a microscope. But when these men of business, naturally anxious for industry and for the good employment of their capital, look around upon Ireland to-day, what do they see ? They see a beggared gentry ; a bewildered peasantry; a random, harsh, and aimless Government; a people excited, sometimes fevered by political power, but not fortified, not braced, not steadied, by political responsibility. Let them ask themselves whether such a state of things as that can be good for trade or commerce; whether it can be good either for the-moral or material welfare of their country. Well, then, let them ask themselves whether they really think or expect that this great movement for constitutfonal reform in Iteland,. which is now being taken up by a great and still powerful party in England—-do they really think in their hearts that that move- ment is going to flicker out! Ifthey do they may depend upon it that they are labouring under a great error and a great delusion. One way or another this question must be settled in a popular sense, and until the question is settled, and there is no reason why: it should not be settled reasonably, equitably, and moderately, there can be no peace for Ireland, and there can be no pro-- sperity even for those industries in which they are interested. That is an argument which I commend, in all humility, and in all sincerity, to commercial men in Dublin and in Ireland. 1 know that our political opponents tell us that they are going” to win, and that very soon this agitation will come to an end. f was reading the other day the old high-flying Tory organ, the VYuartlerly Review, and I will, with your permission, read a few lines which [ dug up from that mausoleum—I call your attention to the date for a purpose—written in October, 1828. This is what the Tories thought at that moment—‘ The Emperor: Akhbar,’ says the writer, ‘bore upon his signet this saying : ‘l never saw any man lost upon a straight road. Then the writer goes on: ‘This’—the Tory policy he was speaking of—‘this is a straight road in Ireland to restrain treason, to punish sedition, to disregard clamour, and by every possible means to better the condition of the Irish peasantry.

Parlia- mentary Reform, that that too was carried on a scale. which nobody dreamt of or anticipated. The Quarterly Review of 1888 ——” | A voice—* 1828.” Mr. Morley —* No, no ; the Quarterly Review of 1888—it is still alive, you may be surprised to hear—the Quarterly Review of 1888, is just as wide-awake, just as far-sighted, just as near the mark, as the Quarterly Review of 1828, and so is the Tory party. No, Gentlemen, Home Rule—the question of Self-Government for Ireland—is no longer an abstract ques- tion, or a mere speculation. It has become—and English statesmen (not a few on the Conservative side) recognise that it has become—a necessity. Events have forced it on; events have brought it to the front; and the only question is how soon, and in What way that necessity shall be met. My noble friend and I, to whom the people of Dublin have given so generous a reception, shall devote ourselves, with great multitudes of our countrymen, as well as with our leader, to bring about a settlement which shall violate neither the integrity of the Empire, nor the loyalty which is due’to the great Institutions of this realm. We know that the task is an arduous one. We must have patience and firmness—both you and we. We must have patience and firmness in reconciling doubting and hostile minds in botk countries. I am now, | have always been, and. I venture respectfully and humbly to commend it to all—I am in favour of arguing this question out patiently. It is a difficult ques- tion. There are many who have natural and reasonable misgivings. I am for treating them with patience. We are not going to give way to them; but I am for treating them with patience, with argument, and with consideration. By that means and by that method I believe we shall pave the way to a wise and just under- standing between England and Ireland, and we shall build up, by the concert of English and Irish opinion, a system by which in Ireland all sects and all interests without distinction shall join together for raising your common country out of its present unhappiness, and its present distraction. We have. secured one stage in that journey. I think your reception last night, and the vast audiences on the other side of the water that Lord Ripon and I have addressed, show that one stage of this journey is accomplished. The understanding between England and. Ireland. is now established. All these proceedings, of which o4. Freedom of the City. this to-day is so memorable a part, are a signal and striking indication that we shall not have long to wait before we advance the further stages of this journey. Gentlemen, I am cordially grateful to you for the honour you have done me, and for the kindness with which you have received my remarks.” The motion was then put that the house do adjourn, and the meeting separated. PUBLIC MEETING. ee THE PUBLIC MEETING to welcome the Marquis of Ripon and Mr. Morley was held in the largest room in Dublin, the Leinster Hall, and its Annexe, on the evening of Thursday, 2nd February. The rooms were profusely decorated with flags, principal amongst which were Union Jacks and the Irish Harp, and behind the principal platform was displayed a large device—the Royal Arms and the Irish Harp on a green ground, surmounted by the crown, and surrounded by a scroll with the words, “The friendship of two peoples is the safety of both.” The doors were opened at six, two hours before the time at which the proceedings were to commence. Entrance, except in portion of the Annexe, was by pay tickets, the sale of which had, in consequence of the number of applicants, to be stopped to the better portions of the hall for some days previous. The rooms were quickly filled by a large, orderly and enthusiastic audience. The tedium of the time spent in waiting was relieved by the excellent performance of the Phoenix and the Workmen’s Club Bands. A larze body of police, under the charge of Chief Superintendent Mallon and Superintendent Larissy, had charge of the streets leading to the building, and arranged the traffic so as to admit of the easy passage of those seeking ingress to the meeting. The utmost enthusiasm, good order and good humour were manifested by the crowds. | As each prominent member of the National party arrived he was loudly cheered. The distinguished visitors arrived a few minutes before eight o’clock in carriages, accompanied by the Right Hon, 8. Walker, Mr. T. Harrington, MP.; Mr. E. D. Gray, M.P.; and received a hearty ovation. On the arrival of Mr. T. D. Sullivan loud and prolonged cheers were given, mingled with cries of “ Down with Balfour and Coercion.” The arrangements both inside and outside the hall, were perfect, looked to by the following body of Stewards :— ; SpEcIAL Honorary Strewarps—Donal Sullivan, m.p.; Joseph F. M‘Carthy, J.p.; William F. Dennehy, Denis B. Sullivan, B.L.; ‘Thomas Stuart, D. J. Hishon, John B. Nolan, Joseph E. Kenny, M.p., Mp.; H. C. Hartnell.

A similar reception was aceorded to such of the Irish representatives as were generally known to the meeting : and Mr. T. M. Healy, who passed in at a side-door, did not escape the applause to which he is so much accustomed from an Irish audience. From half-past seven to eight the addition to the representative gathering on the platform quickly filled all avail- able space, and by the hour arranged for the commencement of business there filled platform, area, balcony, and gallery, an audience as National in its representative scope as any that has ever assembled within the shores of Ireland. Members of Parliament, clergymen, mayors, aldermen, town councillors, poor law guardians—all the workers of the few representative institu- tions that exist in Ireland—crowded the platform. No lst of names faithfully expresses the full representative character of the gathering. In the reserved portion of the hall, which was nearly all the available floor space, there was scé weely a man who in his own person was not the representative of an interest and a class the welfare of which is bound up in the cause of peaceful, just, and national Government. The presence of more than a sprinkling of ladies gave brilliance to an occasion wanting in no element of social, political, or national importance. When the gathering was com- plete the prevailing feeling must have been one of amusement at the desperate fiction of the Disunionists that the wealth and intelligence of Ireland are on the side of disunion. If that be so, then Irish instinct and Irish poverty can work miracles. A burst of thunderous cheering greeted the appearance of Lord Ripon and Mr. Morley, only exceeded by that which later on greeted Mr. Morley’s rising. . The preliminaries were got through with commendable rapidity. The Right Hon. Samuel Walker, ex-Attorney-General and member of her Majesty’s Privy Council, proposed Mr.-Balfour’s recently released “ criminal,” Mr. T. D. Sullivan for the chair. Canon. Daniel seconded the resolution, and the ex-Lord Mayor took the chair amidst great cheering. Ina short speech, delivered with all his characteristic verve, Mr. Sullivan referred to the representative character of the meeting even on the score of wealth. His point as to the reality of the people’s interest in the question at issue and the mass of the people's fortune was admirably put, and was applauded by Mr. Morley. Archbishop Walsh’s letter was then read, and * For the names of the Stewards who so kindly served in the Annexe Meeting, see page 89. Public Meeting. ays produced a marked effect. Mr; Gray was loudly cheered as he rose to propose the. resolution of welcome. He devoted his speech to marking the special character of the visit of sympathy in this hour of Ireland's trial as a mission of pacification. Dr. Kidd seconded the resolution, appearing on a political plat- form for the first time in his life, brought thither as he declared in his terse style, by the recent experiences “of a tyrannical dlespotism.” When Lord Ripon rose to respond to the resolu- tion the feeling of the audience found vent in a loud and long-sustained demonstration. His speech was delivered with great energy and feeling, and evoked numerous significant responses from the audience. His advertence to the days when he as as a young man gave his support to the efforts of Lucas and Duffy on behalf of Ireland, prepared the way for his frank confession that he was a converted Coercionist, but one who be- lieved that the futility of coercive legislation should have been We have come here to give you this assurance on the part of that _ party with which we are proud to act; and as I said just now, L may remind you that the great Liberal party of England has not hitherto been in the habit of failing in any undertaking to which it has set its hand. It matters nothing to us whether we hold the seats of office or the more easy benches of opposition. I care nothing who gives you Home Rule. I would take it as willingly from Lord Salisbury or Lord Hartington, as I would give it to you myself. “All I wantis Home Rule for Ireland, that you should have upon you the steadying responsibilities of Government, and that you should be enabled, in accordance with your own interests and desires, to open a new and happier chapter in the history of your land and to embark—as I believe your Parliament would embark if it were once set going—upon a long course of just govern-~ ment and wise legislation, not directed to the interests of any single class, but tending to bind together men of every descrip+ tion within the four seas of Ireland in one common aim to promote the fame and the happiness and the honour of this histcric land.” Mr. CHARLES DAWSON moved the following resolution :— _ ‘That we cordially welcome to Dublin Lord Ripon and Mr. Morley and tender to them, and through them to their great chief, Mr. Gladstone, and the . English Liberal party, our warmest thanks for their generous efforts to restore peace and prosperity to Ireland, and to end the long and sad chapter of Irish misgovernment by the restoration of our Irish Parliament, which alone can create between the two countries a true union based upon the loyalty of a contented and self-governed people, ~ He never felt more pleasure and happiness in standing on any platform in his native country than he did at present. They were - not, as happened on former occasions, obliged to wait for a single | justice of the peace to take the chair, for they had at those meet- ings hundreds of justices of the peace and magistrates, crowds of lawyers, peers and prelates, all raising a deafening shout in dlefence of the cause of Ireland, A lisping dandy from the Castle. 100)] Public Meeting. with whom he got intoan argument about Mr. Balfour said-—“ Oh, the Thief Thecretary is the greatest man in Ireland.” Yes, he was a Thief Secretary, for he stole men’s clothes, and would if he could steal men’s lives and liberties. He (Mr. Dawson), remem- bered his long legs and lazy attitude as he sat by him in the House of Commons. The Home Rule Parliament of Mr. Gladstone, which contemplated the residence of twenty-five peers in Dublin, besides the rest of the Parliament, and all the official parapher- nalia and outlay of Government would, he calculated, have led to the spending of half a million of money a year in Dublin. Dr. HOUSTON, Q.C., seconded the resolution, and had only said a few words when Mr. Morley entered the room, and was received with an im- mense outburst of cheers and waving of hats and handkerchiefs, which lasted for some minutes. Dr. Houston said he had only risen to fill a vacuum, and would not detain them longerthan by saying that after the great demonstra- tion of the preceding night the resolution seemed almost superfluous. That magnificent demonstration of welcome to the two statesmen must have impressed everyone who saw it; and by the manner in which it was conducted it proved that the Irish people were, in the truest and best sense of the word, law-abiding. The CHAIRMAN declared the resolution by acclamation. Mr. MORLEY then rose, and said—* Gentlemen, I thank you very sincerely for the cordiality with which you have passed this vote. I only wish, and have wished since I landed at Kingstown yesterday afternoon, that there could have been a great invasion of Ireland by countrymen of mine, who could see you as you are—who could see the cordiality and the enthusiasm with which you receive two Englishmen—and who could see that you know as well how to conduct a public meeting, how to follow an argument, and how to conduct a vast demonstration in the streets as the most orderly population that could be found in the whole world. And I will tell you what, if anything had been wanting to convince me of it, the proceedings at these meetings and in your streets last night would have convinced me that there is no population in the world that would be more orderly and more law-abiding than the population of Ireland, if they once were so fortunate as to have a system of government established in whose members they had confidence, and in the making of the laws by which they hada fair share and voice. To me it has been a most instructive visit. tt has confirmed me in the faith with which I started, and I can only regret that more of my countrymen cannot know Irishmen on their own soil. Gentlemen, Lord Ripon has told you—and you know without any telling—-the errand and the mission on which we have come. We have come to assure you that there is now at Public Meeting. 10L last, after centuries of estrangement, alienation and division a great party who recognise the virtues and the great qualities of the Irish race—who recognise the justice of their constitution- ally expressed demand—and who recognise that the satisfaction. of that demand on full and fair terms is the surest way and the only way to giving sometning like happiness and content to Ireland, and to removing from our country and from the Empire a great scandal, a great humiliation, and a great danger. Genitle- men, I am very proud of having been allowed to take any part in these proceedings. The demonstration of yesterday will be to me ‘.a memory that nothing can efface. The warmth of your accla- mations here and in the other hall to-night convinces me that you have faith in the integrity and the straightforwardness of English Liberals. You could not have simulated those welcomes if you had not known, if you were not convinced, that we have come in good faith; and I go back knowing better even than I did before that you, too, the people of Ireland—the people of Dublin—are in good faith when you tell us that you are anxious for reconciliation. with us, and that you accept the terms on which we have come to you. Gentlemen, I am heartily obliged to you for your kindness. I bear away a most impressive recollection of what I have seen and what I have heard, and I hope that we have conveyed to you an equally favourable impression of the sincerity and good faith of the mission on which we have come.’ , The HIGH SHERIFF OF DUBLIN being moved to the second chair, Mr. WILLIAM MURPHY, M.P., moved that the thanks of the meeting be given to Alderman Dillon for presiding. Mr. C. H. OLDHAM said it gave him the heartiest pleasure in seconding the motion. The HIGH SHERIFF put the resolution, which was carried by acclamation, and the proceedings terminated. At the close of the meetings an immense number of peopte assembled opposite the entrance to witness the departure of Lord. Ripon, Mr. Morley, and the other speakers at the meetings, and. cheered loudly as the carriages drove off with their several burdens. Ba Ces PRESENTATION OF ADDRESSES. Sai e---——- THE presentation of Addresses to the Marquis of Ripon and Mr. Morley took place at the Mansion House on 3rd February. As reported by the #reeman’s Journal :—* The elected repre- sertatives of the people from all parts of [reland attended at the Mansion House yesterday to show in an unmistakable manner what are the real views of the men who form by far the greater part of the commercial back-bone of the country. The professions, the students, the trades—all joined in the work of laying before the two distinguished guests the expression of hope for the future, of gratitude for the past. Not one of the seventy addresses contained a word that could be taken as even a hint or desire that all creeds and classes of Irishmen should not be brought together in Ireland to work for the welfare of their motherland. It was a worthy memorial of a turning point in the relations between the two nations, of a desire to let the dead past bury its dead, and a resolve that the mistakes and feuds of the past should be compensated and atoned for by wise legislation and harmecnious action in the future.” At one o'clock the Marquis of Ripon and Mr. Morley, accompanied by Alderman Iernan as ldocwn tenens for the Lord Mayor, and Mr. M. Kenny, M.P., entered the Oak Room, and were received with loud cheers. The Sword and Mace Bearers having taken their places, Alderman Kernan took the chair. At either side of him were Mr. Morley and Lord Ripon, who remained standing during the time the addresses were being read. The freedom of the cities of Cork and Limerick were presented to Lord Ripon and Mr. Morley, both of whom signed the roll of honorary freemen. The certificates were enclosed in two handsome bog-oak caskets. Both the Mayor of Cork and the Mayor of Limerick addressed a few words in mak- ing their presentations. As at the previous day’s ceremonial in the City Hall the deputations from the provincial corporations were accompanied by their officers bearing the corporate insignia. The reading of even a small number of the addresses occupied a considerable time ; by far the larger part of them had to be taken as read. Many of them were beautifully illuminated. Amongst those present were :— KE. D.

ALDERMAN KERNAN (locum tenens for the Lord Mayor) said— ‘Gentlemen, I regret the absence of the Lord Mayor on this occa- sion, and on his behalf I have much pleasure in welcoming the deputations from the country here to-day to the Mansion House of the City of Dublin, deputations who have come to welcome our distinguished visitors, Lord Ripon and Mr. Morley. The first address will be from the City of Cork, and I will ask the Mayor of Cork to read it.” wewe we CORK CORPORATION. The Deputation from the Cork Corporation consisted of :— The Mayor (John O’Brien), Alderman Horgan, kh. A, Atkins, Alderman Madden, Alexander M‘Carthy, ‘Town Clerk ; D. F. Giltiran, Mayor’s Secre- tary ; Dr. D. D. Donovan, Executive Medical Officer. The MAYOR OF CorK (Alderman O’Brien) said—‘“ I have been deputed to present you, Lord Ripon and Mr. Morley, this address of welcome to the two Englishmen who from conviction, and not from policy, have come to do justice to our long oppressed country. As Chief Magistrates of the municipalities we have visited the members of the Corporation and our representatives in Parliament in prison, and we have seen them tortured in prison for giving expression to the opinions of the people they represent. We have found them without exercise for fourteen days; we have found them on punishment diet, four ounces of bread and water; and we avail of this opportunity of protesting against those tortures and against the brutal treatment to which our colleagues in the municipalities and our representatives in Parlia- ment are subjected to. I will now read the address— To tHE Most Nospie GreorGe Freperick SAMUEL Ropinson, Marquis oF RIPON, K.G., G.C.S.1. ; AND THE Right Hon. JOHN MORLEY, M.p. We, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of Cork, hail with the profoundest satisfaction your visit to Ireland at this most critical juncture in her history, Passing, as our nation now is, through an ordeal of unexampled oppression and injustice—the more galling to a high-spirited and justice-loving people 104 Presentation of Addresses. because veiled under the forms of so-called Constitutional Government—your presence amongst us is cheering and hopeful in the highest degree, since you came to us as the accredited exponents of the generous and statesmanlike policy enunciated by your illustrious chief, William Ewart Gladstone—a policy the very antithesis of that under which the country now suffers, and which, if not reversed, could only tend to alienate still further the two peoples whom your great leader aims at binding together by a real union of hearts. In @ommon with the overwhelming majority of our fellow-countrymen at home and abroad, as well as with a vast and increasing proportion of our fellow- subjects in Great Britain, we behold in you policy the trne panacea for the wrongs and grievances of our long-suffering race, and the only adequate means of establishing, upon an enduring basis, that cordial union between England and Ireland, which the people of both countries so earnestly desire. For the ultimate, and we hope speedy, triumph of that policy, we have one of the strongest assurances in its espousal by such able and distmguished rulers as we have now the honour to address; by you, my Lord Ripon, whose knowledge of the principles of sound government, gained during a career as Cabinet Minister extending over a quarter of a century, and more recently as one of the most successful Governors of England’s great Eastern Empire, has led you, like those other ex-Viceroys, Earls Spencer and Carnarvon, to acknowledge the justice and wisdom of yielding the right of self-government to the Irish people; and by you, Mr. Morley, whose conscientious personal study of the Irish question and practical experience as one of the few successful Chief Secretaries of Ireland, have condueted you, in common with other occupants of that responsible office, such as Sir George Trevelyan and Mr. Campbell Bannerman, to the same irresistible conclusion. In this dark hour of national adversity (which, however, we regard as the presage of future happiness and prosperity), we therefore gladly welcome you as the harbingers of peace, union, and amity between our two nations, and we pray the Almighty Ruler to bless your mission to our dear old land, to hasten its full fruition, and to make its blessings perpetual.

Spillane, J.P, The MAYOR OF LIMERICK, on presenting the freedom of Limerick, said— : ““My Lord Marquis and Mr. Morley, I have the honour to introduce a deputation of the Corporation of Limerick, authorised to confer upon you the honorary freedom of our ancient city— a slight, 1 confess, but the highest testimony in our power of our appreciation of your sacrifices and services in the cause of Irish nationality, evidenced by your labours in the past, and emphasized by your declarations in that regard, made within the past few days within this capital of Ireland. Venerable as is the Presentation of Addresses. 105 mstitution of the Corporations of Ireland, mindful as we ever are of our chartered privileges and rights ; although we go down deep in the mine of history in tracing our origin, yet the muni- cipalities of Ireland stand forward in the van of national progress, and endeavour to do their share in the work of national regenera- tion. Already on our list of honorary burgesses is the name of one not in Ireland born. Mr. Gladstone signed that book asa citizen of the Violated Treaty in Hawarden Castle, and we recognize your affixing your eminent signatures to the same catalogue to day as anassured proof_of your resolution to develope his great policy of concession and recognition of our sovereign national rights, which is the only solution of the Irish difficulty— -one that will calm the passions of centuries, and unite for ever in harmonious bonds two countries in progress and concord.” The certificates of the freedom of the City on the Shannon were enclosed in a casket of Irish bog oak, handsomely carved. ‘On the front side was a silver plate in the shape of a shield, with a representation of the Limerick City Arms and the inscription, “Presented to the Right Hon.

Wallace, Town Clerk, read the address : ADDRESS FROM THE MAyor, ALDERMEN AND BURGESSES OF LIMERICK, TO THE Most Nospie THE Marquis OF RIpon, K.G., AND TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE JOHN MORLEY, M.P., ON THEIR VISIT TO LRELAND, FEBRUARY, 1888, We, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of Limerick by unanimous resolution in common council assembled, beg to confer the freedom of our ancient city upon the Most Noble the Marquis of Ripon, K.G., and the Right Honourable John Morley, M.P,, as an assurance of our appreciation of their distinguished services in the cause of self-government for Ireland. Labouring as we are in common with the rest of Ireland, in times of unexampled depression, our population declining and laws antagonistic to liberty in full force under an authority not in sympathy, and having no mandate from the Irish people, we hail your mission at this crisis as the culminating proof demonstrated already by many representative deputations -of the determination of the great Liberal Party of Great Britain to do justice to Ireland. The people of Ireland are united in their claims for reform, and whilst most desirous to give every guarantee for the full enjoyment of every civil .and religious right appertaining to the minority of our fellow-countrymen, yet we demand National self-government in accordance with the wishes of the people. We enter our protest against the continuance of a system of legislation, which, in the absence of a measure of organic settlement, renders the relation -of landlord and tenant a socialanarchy. We believe that trade and prosperity will never flourish in Ireland under absentee drains and alien administration of -our resources, and we condemn as abhorrent to civilized justice the iniquitous system of coercion laws now ruthlessly exerted to crush the spirit of the Irish people, vindicating their privileges as free men. In accord with the municipalities of Ireland we greet your advent in 106 Presentation of Addresses. our midst and tender to you the unfeigned homage of the people of the ancient and unconquered city of Limerick. We recognise the world-wide services of the Most Noble Marquis of Ripon, his brilliant and beneficent rule of the great dependency of India, his valued international diplomatic skill, his high and resolute assertion of conscientious conviction, and the priceless prestige of his adhesion to the Irish cause. We tender our sincere gratitude to] the Right Honourable Mr. John Morley, for his labours in the cause of Trish freedom, and acknowledging his evident desire to administer Irish affairs in accordance with Irish popular feeling, his services in Parliament, on the platform, and in the Press, advancing our National programme and the great power his eminent position as a British statesman tend to the obtaining the just claims of Ireland. In conclusion we beg to impress that the development and concession of the policy and privileges advocated by Mr. Gladstone and the Liberals of the United Kingdom will bind two nations in everlasting bonds of progress. and amity.

The Mayor then presented Lord Ripon and Mr. Morley with the roll of honorary freedom of the city, and Lord Ripon and Mr. Morley inscribed their names on the roll. WATERFORD CORPORATION. The Deputation from Waterford Corporation consisted of— The Mayor (Captain Thomas Toole), Aldermen—R. Power, High Sheriff; Redmond, Mahony, L. C. Strange. Councillors—J. Manning, R. Hearne, J. Higgins. J. W. Howard, Town Clerk ; Patrick Kent, Borough Treasurer ; High Constable, Mace- Bearer, Sword- Bearer. The Mayor, in introducing the deputation, said rebels they were, and rebels they would remain until the present despotism was at an end. The Town Clerk read the address : We, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of Waterford, in common with the other municipal corporations of Ireland, beg to offer you a hearty andi cordial welcome to our shores. ‘This event of your arrival amongst us om a mission which is eminently calculated to be productive: of permanent good to our country, will be long remembered by all Irishmen with deep and heartfelt gratitude, and by none more than by the community whom we have the honour to represent. After long centuries of cruel oppression and grinding misrule,. we now seem to be approaching to a period, when we may reasonably expect ‘that the long wished for blessing of National Self-Government will be obtained and through it the peace and prsoperity which have been so long banished from our distracted land. We feel that the efforts of the illustrious statesman who has espoused our cause, aided by you and his other eminent colleagues, ‘and supported by the mighty power of the English Democracy, will ere long be crowned with glorious and complete sucess, and we confidently expect in the near future to be ina position to testify to him and to the noble people of Presentation of Addresses. 107 Great Britain, that the two islands will thenceforth remain bound together by common ties of mutual regard, respect, and self-interest.

KILKENNY CORPORATION, The Deputation from Kilkenny Corporation consisted of :— The Mayor (P.M. Egan); J. Coyle, 1.c., High Sheriff; J. Walsh, 1.c., P.u.G. 3 M, Morrissy,.T.c., P.u.6.: 'P. Rowan,: T.c., P.L.¢.3; J. Wade, T.c- D. Fenton, t.c.; J. Meany, t.c.; C. J. Kenealy, Town Clerk. The Mayor said it was to be regretted that the cheers which had greeted the distinguished visitors, were mingled with the lamentations of some of their countrymen in prison. The first lines of the representation in Ireland were broken in upon by imprisoning the Lord Mayor and the members of Parliament ; but he felt he expressed the opinion of those present when he said the municipalities constituted the “second line of defence,” which, when attacked, would be found to be defended resolutely and actively. The Town Clerk read the address : GENTLEMEN—We, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of Kilkenny, desire to add our meed of joyous welcome, in unison with the national voice of Ireland, which greets you to-day ; and, in doing so, we wish most fervently to express our warmest thanks and congratulation for this your visit of sympathy _and support in the great political struggle for legislative indepeudance in which the Irish people are now so earnestly engaged. That two English gentlemen of great political influence should visit our shores, bearing tidings of promised help and co-operation from the great majority of the English people, we look upon as the beginning of a new era of more friendly relations between the two countries, which must result in the termination of the continued sufferings of the Ivish people through age of tyranny and mis-government, and bring to treland a new title of happimess and prosperity. In order to experience the general gloom, and the poignant anguish which at present beset our country- men, as a result of the cruel indignities and prison tortures to which their -leaders are subjected, we think your visit is most timely and opportune, for the land of Ireland to-day reeks under the atrocities of a Government to which, taking the peaceful character of the country into consideration, we defy history to afforda parallel. If Englishmen wish to prove their love of freedom ; if they desire to show to the world that the boasted liberty of the people of this empire is a reality, they will once and for all decide that the grievances and woes ot the Irish people, which are only worthy of the barbarous ages, and could only occur under the most despotic of Governments, shall cease ; and that peace, and concord, and unity, and plenty shall reign stead. The land laws of Ireland, upon which half a century of agitation has been vainly spent with the object of improving them, still require remodelling; the home industry and commerce of the country have been almost entirely crushed and require to be revived; the method of administering the law through the paid and prejudiced placemen of the executive in Dublin Castle, represents the 108 - Presentation of Addresses. ‘lowest form of oppression which the most arbitrary Government could inflict 3 the whole system of government through the Castle officials tends to bring the law into contempt, by giving it the colour of a foreign domination, which the people of England would not tolerate for a day if practised in their own country. Hence the necessity for a complete reformation of the constitution by allowing Irishmen to manage the internal affairs of their own country, and granting them Home Rule, which must eventually strengthen and consolidate the great empire of which we recognise in you such .worthy and trusted representatives. And we pray that to this end your influence with the whole English people, may widen and become equally potent as it has with the people of Ireland, and that growing in strength as the cause which you shall espouse shall ripen, you will succeed in aiding that great statesman, the Right Hon. W. IE. Gladstone, m.P., in crowning his glorious career by the successful fulfilment of the obligations which the noble ambition of rescuing Ireland from. her bondage hag thrown upon him, Signed, Patrick M. Eean, Mayor. C. J. KENEALY, Town Clerr. CLONMEL CORPORATION. The deputation from the Clonmel Corporation consisted of— - Messrs. E. Murphy, Mayor; D. F. Clancy, Town Clerk; Alderman Lonergan, P. Collins, E. O'Donoghue, borough treasurer. The Mayor introduced the deputation. The Town Clerk read. the address as follows :— Most NosLe AND RiegHT HONORABLE Strs—We desire briefly to tender you our sincere and heartfelt welcome as ambassadors of peace from your countrymen to ours. From one ofthe most important towns in Ireland, socially and commercially, not only the representatives of the vast prepon- derance of its political opinion, but of its aggregate wealth and intelligence, we come to tell you that we prize highly, and thank you heartily, for your generous and patriotic mission. Be assured that Tipperary, with all Ireland besides, participates in the warmth of that welcome to you, which the people of Dublin have had a glad opportunity of practically testifying. Your visit is, we trust, one of the last milestones upon the road to legislative enfranchisement, and we hope and pray that when the goal shall have been reached, and the victory crowned, you, first amongst the first in honour and distinction, may be spared to receive once again in an Irish Parliament upon College-green, the acclaim and gratitude of a nation, to whose triumph you shall have nobly and unsparingly contributed.

The Town Clerk read the address as follows :— Most NosLeE Marqatis AND HONOURABLE StR—On behalf of Drogheda and its people whom we represent, we welcome you to Ireland. Coming as you do to aid us in our long and weary struggle for constitutional liberty, we hail the advent of two such emiment Englishmen, as a happy omen, and recognise: your visit as intended to convey to the people of this country, the desire of England to repair the wrongs of centuries, whilst at the same time fostering here the feeling of forgetfulness of those wrongs, that the Irish race have given such unmistakable evidence of their desire to do. ‘The wrongs of centuries no doubt cannot be obliterated in a day, nor resistance to unjust laws, which was ever held a sacred duty here, be in a moment given up, especially while we are reminded daily of the inhuman tyranny of the past by the brutal enforcement of the existing Coercion Law of the present Tory rulers. Twenty years of prospective Coercion as outlined by Lord Salisbury, must prove barren statesmanship, seven centuries of it having failed ; but twenty years of justice with the kmdness of feelmg it will engender between the Irish and English people, each ruled by laws made by themselves to suit each other, may be looked forward to as having a contrary effect, and be the means of amalga- mating in brotherhood two peoples who have through misunderstanding been kept so long apart. Signed on behalf of the Corporation of Drogheda. PETER CONNOLLY, Town Clerk. SLIGO CORPORATION. The deputation from the Sligo Corporation consisted of— Mr. P. A. M‘Hugh, Mayor; Alderman Tighe, J.p.; Alderman Higgins.. Councillors—Dolan, Connolly, and Collery.

We thank you for coming as the repre- sentatives of the great Liberal party of England to learn for yourselves on frish soil the wants, the feelings, and the aspirations of our people. In welcoming you we are pleased to believe that we do honour to your great leader, William Ewart Gladstone; and, as one of the corporate bodies of this country, we desire to express the hope that Providence may spare him to see realised his beneficent intentions towards the people of Ireland. We believe Home Government to be essential to the prosperity and happiness of our people, and we hope to see continued every constitutional effort to obtain this, undeterred by coercion, By the aid of the great party you represent we trust to see realisedin the near future the complete and perfect union of the people of the United Kingdom.

JOHN MORLEY, MP. The Tullamore ‘Town Commisioners beg to tender a most cordial and respectful welcome to the Most Noble the Marquis of Ripon and the Right Honourable John Morley, M.p., on the occasion of their visit to Ireland at this momentous crisis in the country’s struggle for legislative independence, and to assure them of their sincere gratitude and admiration for the highly patriotic and generous motives by which Ireland’s noble and distinguished guests were inspired in coming over to demonstrate by their presence amongst the real Unionists and representative men of Ireland, their determination to lend their most influential and powerful aid to the Irish people and their trusted representatives under the leadership of England’s greatest states- man, the Right Honourable William Ewart Gladstone, in their constitutional efforts to regain that right for which Irishmen shall never cease to struggle, the privilege to make and to administer those laws that directly affect the peace and prosperity of their country, the consummation of which they » believe to be thoroughly consistent with their loyalty to the Crown of England, and conducive to the true interests and consolidation of the British Empire.

The deputation from the Cork Harbour Commissioners con- sisted of— The Mayor of Cork, John Flynn, T. J. Clanchy, R. Downing, R. Foley, J. W. Green, B. J. Alcock, William Donegan, Secretary. Mr. Donegan presented the following address on behalf of the board— We, the Cork Harbour Commissioners, desire to tender to you our heart- felt welcome on the occasion of your visit to Ireland. We hail you as the representatives of the great Liberal party of Mngland and of its leader, the greatest of living statesmer, and as the bearers of a message of peace and hope to the vast majority of the people of this country. Trying as the present time is to the people of Ireland, crushed down by a harsh and exceptional law administered with a severity which must cause grief to every lover of freedom, the people believing m the efforts of the Liberal party to free them from the injustice which now rules the land, and to restore to them not only their out- raged rights, but also a National Parliament for the management of purely Irish affairs as distinct from those that are Imperial, are emboldened to per- Severe in the constitutional methods they have hitherto adopted for the accomplishment of those ends. We complaim that under the existing law political representatives, and others highly honoured and esteemed by the people, imprisoned for political offences are subjected to treatment similar to that accorded to ordinary criminals, a condition.of things hitherto unknown in the political annals of the country. It has been urged for party motives that the coercive policy of the present Ministry has produced a condition of quiet and a diminution of crime in this country, which did not previously exist. These allegations we fearlessly deny, and desire to urge on your attention that the pacific and friendly policy which you represent is the true cause of the peaceful condition of the country by the hope which it inspires. ‘The demon- stration which witnessed the departure from our shores of the Earl and Countess of Aberdeen bore evidence of the faith of the Irish people in the con- ciliatory policy of which you are the representatives, and we rejoice again in your persons to show to the civilised world that the feeling so deeply planted can quickly be revived in response to a call from that great party of justice and of liberty. As representing the commercial interests not only of the Port and Harbour of Cork, but largely the south of Ireland, we are satisfied that the commercial prosperity so much to be desired can only be restored by satis- fying the national aspirations, which we believe will be accomplished by a policy such as you represent.

We, in the name of 70,000 Nationalists of Belfast, tender to you a Cead Mile Failthe on your visit to ireland. We recognise in your lordship one who has filled with conspicuous ability some of the most important positions at the disposal of the Crown, and more particularly the Viceroyalty of our great Indian empire. Whilst governing so many millions of her Majesty’s subjects, you have won our adiniration by your great admunistrative capacity and your successful efforts to ameliorate the condition of the native races. ‘The same policy of justice and conciliation which you pursued in India characterises your actions in support of the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P., in his noble efforts to do justice to the oppressed people of Ireland. We recognise and have always recognised in you, right honorable sir, a consistent, staunch, and fearless advocate of the struggling and of the oppressed. Our hearts were gladdened and our hopes were raised when you accepted the high office of Chief Secretary for Ireland, under the late Administration, for we knew that your appointment foreshadowed the realisation of all our hope andaspirations, We are delighted to see you so completely restored to health after your recent severe illness. We look forward with confidence to the near future, when you shall again fill the same responsible office, and bring to a successful issue the policy mau- gurated by your great leader, supported by the vast majority of the people of the United Kingdom.

We are convinced that in the adoption by Parliament of the main Jines of Mr. Gladstone’s policy, in other words, in the granting to Ireland of a domestic Legislature for the manage- ment of purely Ivish affairs, hes the one hope of establishing order on a firm and permanent basis, of restoring peace and prosperity to a distracted. country, and of consolidating a real union between the people of Ireland and the people of Great Britain. We are further convinced that the sooner such a settlement of the [rish question is accomplished the more beneficent will be its effect on all the interests concerned. ‘The members of the Royal University are scattered not only over Ireland, but over the rest of the British Empire, and thus many have been prevented from signing this address, who, we are persuaded, share our sentiments. But the fact that the address, within se lunited a time, has been signed by so many, will, we hope, be accepted by you as an indication that there is a large and increasing body of Irish University men who heartily approve of the proposals for the future government of Ireland which form part of the programme of the Liberal party and its. illustrious leader.
