HOME RULE DEMAND IS REAFHRMED
To Set Doubt at Kent Nationalist
Convention While Dlacnaslnar Pur
chase Meaaure Stands Strouttly
for Self-Governnient.
DUBLIN, April 17. The Irish national
convention, concluded this evening. In two
days It got through a large amount of con
troversial work and emerged, to quote T. P.
O'Connor, "icathlees and honored from a
test the whole world was watching. It was
not only shaping the destinies of Ireland,
but it held in its hand the fate of the Brit
ish ministry." t i
John Redmond, replying to an enthuslas-
tic vote of thanks for his chairmanship, de
clared that the convention was a credit In
every particular to Ireland and afterward I
announced that the amendments adopted by
the convention would be accepted at the
joint conference at which Lord Dunraven,
Lord Mayo, Captain Sbawe-Taylor, John
Redmond.' William O'Brien and T. W. Rus
sell will meet. This practically Insures the
passage of the Irish land bill.
Tho delegates returned to their homes to
night lu a happy frame of mind, echoing
John Redmond's parting words: "May tho
God of our fathers once again visit this
land with the peace and pleuty that are its
due."
Affirms Home Bole Demand.
When the convention reaasembled in the
morning, with a smaller attendance, John
Redmond, in view of a misunderstanding
In the case of certain English papers, in
troduced a strong home rule resolution, de
claring that the Irish nation would never
be satisfied until It obtained a full measure
of self-government. "No substitute." said
Mr. Redmond, "can or will b accepted."
Michael Davltt briefly seconded the resa
luVon, saying Irishman would be neglect
ing their sacred dutiea to the cause it they
did not aend such a message to their raca
throughout the world.
Mr. Redmond's recommendation was car
ried by acclamation.
William O'Brien then proceeded to ex
plain the various suggested amendments to
the land bill.
An amendment of Mr. O'Brien provided
for extending financial assistance to evicted
tenants was welcomed by many of the dele
gates, who wished It to go further.
Patrick Flynn of the Cork branch of the
I league, a man of great girth, with a sbille-
lah in one hand and a broad-brimmed hat
In the other, then mounted the platform.
His appearance created laughter. "I did
not," he aald, "travel 150 mile to be
laughed at."
In a few seconds Mr. Flynn held th con
vention spellbound by the extraordinary
eloquence with which he Insisted that th

erly belonged to evicted peasant should
themselves be evicted. .
This peasant orator worked up a storm
against "grabbers," but Mr. O'Brlon's mora
moderate counsels prevailed.
Throughout the morning peasant speak
ers discussed the details of the bill with
Intelligent rhetoric.
Mr. OBrlen's suggestions as a rule were
passed without division.
Michael Davltt fought Mr. O'Brien's
peasant proprietorship proposals. He main
tained that the nationalization of the land
was the only method by which Ireland
could be made prosperous,, but when a divi
sion was threatened Mr. Redmond effected
a compromise, with the result that the con
vention emphatically endorsed Mr.. Davit f
well known theories, but retained Mr.
O'P.rlen's suggestion.
The convention concluded without auy
special incident. A resolution was passed
demanding the immediate release of
Colonel Lynch and Mr. Kilbride,, a former
member of Parliament. . Major Jameson and
Jasper Tully, members of Parliament, were
read out of the party for "dereliction of
duly and lack of loyalty to the United Irisi
league."
A motion was passed urging Thomas Sex
ton to return to Parliament.
John Redmond and Lord Dunraven had
an informal meeting this morning and de
cided to postpone the sittings of the land
lord and tenants' conference, which will
probably be held in London next week.
All Clashes and Creed Unite.
At tho conclusion John Redmond Issued
the following signed statement:
