On Sunday a meeting was held at Nenagh, which was
attended by both sections of the Anti-Parnellites,—i.e., by both Dillonites and Healyites. Mr. Healy made no reference to the split within a split, but stated that "in a few months 'the Government would ask for a fresh verdict." Mr. Arthur O'Connor, who was very fierce, declared that the grabber of an evicted farm was virtually a receiver of stolen goods, and that for his part he would boycott such a man. "He would treat him, in the words of Mr. Parnell, as a social leper." Mr. Dillon said that he had not come there to dispute about in- dividuals. He did not think a General Election was near at hand, and " it was the duty of Irishmen to keep it as far off as possible." We wonder how long the two sects of Anti-Par- • nellites will be able to appear on a common platform. Not -very long, we should imagine, for in spite of their natural in- -clination towards a bull, Irishmen find agreeing to differ an almost impossible task.
