Notes from Ireland, of January 26th, by means of extracts
from the Irish Catholic, the organ of Mr. Healy, shows how bitter is the feeling between the two sections of the Anti-Parnellite party. Mr. James F. X. O'Brien is "an official wofully indiscreet, inaccurate, and undisciplined ; " Mr. T. P. O'Connor, an "astute manipulator ; " Mr. Thomas Condon, " the swashbuckling representative for East Tip- perary ; " while Mr. Thomas Sexton "poses as a model for imitation of 'National Unity,' with his resignation of 1893 and seaside retirement' before us." The Freeman's Journal, the representative of the Anti-Healyite section of the Anti- Parnellites, is " the channel of misrepresentation and dissen- sion." No doubt this calling of names has at present little political significance. Healyites and Anti-Healyites will all faithfully support Lord Rosebery. Still, it cannot be pleasant for the GIs ds5aman chiefs to feel that they are kept in office by the votes of a group which is so seriously divided against itself.
