THE LAND LEAGUE CON'
VENTIQN.
SHORT SUMMARY OF ITS PRO
CEEDINGS v
On the First Day of Its Session at Wash
ington City--A National Organization
in the Interest of Irish-American Cit
izens. We present below a short summary
of the first day's proceedings of the
National Land League Convention,
which assembled in Washington City
last Wednesday, as a matter of public
interest. It will be seen, as stated by
the Baltimore Sun, that in addition to
the consideration of questions connect
ed with the work of the league, the im
prisonment of Irish-American citizens
by the British government" formed a
prominent subject of attention at yes
terday's session. Resolutions condemn
ing the inaction of Minister Lowell
and asking his recall were adopted, and
the president of the convention was di
rected to lay them before the Executive
of the United States and request prompt
interference tor the protection of
American citizens abroad. The pro
ceedings of the convention were char
acterized by great enthusiasm and a
spirit of determination that cannot be
entirely without influence.
Says the telegraphic report to the Sun :
The delegates and attendants on the
convention number many hundreds,
and a finer-looking body of men has
seldom gathered at the capital. At the
hotels the delegates, many of whom are
Catholic priests, attract much attention,
and the bearing and geniality of some
of the leading delegates has already
commended their cause to many that
had heretofore felt no interest- in the
matter.
Lincoln Hall, in which the conven
tion assembled, was handsomely deco
rated in honor of the assemblage. The
green banner displaying the lyre made
a central ornament of the platform,
and the cordial motto of Irish home
life, "Cead millefailthe," was the legend
of the occasion. American flags blend
el with Irish ensigns in the adornjnent
of thehall, and banners of paper dis
played in various portions of the as
sembly room exhibited the names of
States and made centres for the delega
tions from the various portions of the
country. Twenty-two .States were rep
resented, including Maine, Maryland,
Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio, Ken
tucky, Virginia, Missouri, West Vir
ginia, New Jersey, New York, Penn
sylvania, Vermont, Rhode Island, Con
necticut, Massachusetts and District of
Columbia.
Among the delegates present were
Representatives Murch and Ladd;
Hugh Hastings, of New York; John
Boyle O'Rielley, of Boston ; S.J. Meanv,
of New York ; Rev. Fathers Cronin, of
Buffalo; Walsh, of Waterbury, Conn.;
McKenna, of Mass.; Flatley, of Mass.;
Sheridan, of Conn.; Meagher, of Ky.;
Larkin, of New York; Rielly, of Mo.;
Barry, of Mas3., and others.
OPENING OF THE CONVENTION.
Gen. P. A. Collins called the assem
blage to order as a gathering of cittzens
of the United States assembled at the
capital of their country, but entitled to
the nation's protection everywhere. He
read the call for the convention, set
ting forth that great distress now exists
in Ireland, and that it should receive
the attention of Americans as well as
Irishmen.
The call is signed by the central
council of the National Land League,
and recites what has been accomplished
by the league, and wherein the Chicago
convention had failed to carry out its
objects.
It was time, Gen. Collins said, for
such a convention, when in a country
holding friendly relations with the Uni
ted States to be an Irish-American is to
be a "suspect" tlenied the rights which
are accorded even to felons. This con
vention should stand on Michael Da
vitt's platform, and the world would
see that the land-league movement was
but in its beginning.
On the platform were a number of
ladies, including Miss Fuery and Miss
Traggert, of New York ; Miss J. P.
Kennedy, Of Boston ; Miss Julia M,
Murphy, of Boston ; Miss Kate A. Den
nan and Miss Ellen O'Rouke, of Wash
ington. TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION.
Hon. John Rooney, of New York,
was chosen temporary chairman, and J.
D. O'Connell, of District of Columbia,
and S. Griffin, of Iowa, temporary sec
retaries. After some discussion a com
mittee on credentials was appointed,
including John Murray.of Maryland ; J.
V. Reddy, of Virginia; M. J. Fahy, of
Pennsylvania; Rev. Wm. Quinlan, of
Georgia ; Rev. Dr. O'Rielly, of Missouri ;
Hon. T. H. Murch, of Maine ; Rev. Mr.
Larkin, of New York, and J.J. O'Neill,
of District of Columbia.
While the committee was out Gen.
Collins pr iceeded to read a letter from
Mr. Eagan at Paris, in which he regrets
his inability to attend the convention,
thanks the American league for the
splendid work they have done in mor
ally and financially assisting the league
in the old country, and reviews the
present state of affairs in Ireland and
the bright prospects of ' the Irish
League. A telegram "was also read
from Rev. Jas. McDevitt, of Baltimore.
By unanimous consent motions were
introduced providing for' the appoint
ment of committees on resolutions and
a permanent organization, and a long
discussion ensued as to the method of
their appointment, and it was finally
decided to allow each State to n,a;ae one
representative ox ech of tfc,ese. com
mittees, The Committee on resolutions in
cluded E. 0. Sullivan, of Maryland 5 J.
V. Reddy, of Virginia ; Rev. Father
McKay, of Pennsylvania," and E. D.
Wright, of the District of Columbia.
That on permanent organization in
cluded John Merrs, of Maryland; J. N.
Keogn, of the District of Columbia;
Frank McGovern, of Virginia; Iiey.M.
Sheedy, of Pennsylvania. " "
'kesoltjtions,
Mr, John Boyle O'Reilly, of Boston,
then read the following resolutions:
H Whereas, there are now confined in
English prisons a number of Aemricans,
who have been arrested and imprison
ed without a definite charge, who have
been denied a trial,which they have re
psatedly demanded of the English gov,
ernment, that has to further Ha own
ends abolished in Ireland the common
principles of law, whioh are the only
safeguards of personal liberty ; and
Whereas, these imprisonedAmerican
citizens have from their cell again and
again appeal to. our minister at the
English courW James Russell Lowell, to
protect them in their rights, as he is
commanded to do by the laws of the
United States, and the appeals have
been treated by him with supercilipus
indifference, their claims disrespected,
their hardships ignored, and, aboVe all,
the right of the English government
acknowledged to imprison at its will,
without charge or trial, citizens of this
Republic in common with its own sub
jects, which disgraceful and injurious
acknowledgement hasHbeen explicitly
made by Minister Lowell, as follows :
On the 2nd of June last, ten months
ago, when the first of these American
citizens were arrested under the sus-
tension of the habeas corpus aqj in Ire
and, our Secretary of State instructed,
Minister Lowell to inform the British
goverment with regard to their arrest
that an accused person shall, immedi
ately upon arrest, be informed of the
specific crime or offense upon which he
is held, and that he shall be offered an
opportunity for a speedy trial before
an impartial court and jury, which are
essential to every criminal prosecution,
necessary alike to the protection of in
nocence and the ascertainment of guilt.
To this direct instruction, which if
properly maintained, would have speed
ily released thesttmen, Minister Lowell
replied by suggesting to this govern
ment that rrothing would be gained to
ward the trial or release of the impris
oned men by questioning the right of
the English arbitrary law, "so long," to
use Mr. Lowell's own words, "as Lord
Granville. expressly declines to make
any aistincuon between uritisn sub
jects and American citizens on the ap
plication of this law."
On the 3d of last March, some of our
citizens having then lain in prison for
nine months, the Secretary of State in
structed Minister Lowell to use all dili
gence in regard to tnese imprisoned
Americans ; on the 4th of March . these
instructions were repeated to Minister
Lowell ; on the 16th of March Mr. Low
ell was instructed to inform the Eng
lish government that the President
wished these American citizens to have
a speedy trial, and on the 25th of March
these instructions to Minister Lowell
were repeated.
Despite thir urgency, which has been
also expressed by public meetings of
indignation in this country, these citi
zens still remain in prison, and the
English press ridicules the American
demand for their trial, and the British
f overnment ignores the requests of the
'resident and openly and contemptu
ously trau.ples on the claims of Ameri
can citizenship. '
In allowing this without protest, and
in upholding the action of the British
government, Minister Lowell has mani
festly neglected his duty and dishonor
ed his office; and
" Whereas, through this conduct of
Minister Lowell, numbers of American
citizens of Irish birth or blood who de
sire to visit that country ori legitimate
business are deterred from doing so by
fear of similar arrest and imprison
ment without trial at the hands of the
English government; therefore it is
Resolved, That this convention, called
by the will and representing the mill
ions of Irish-American citizens of the
United States, as its first expression re
quests the President to recall Minister
Lowell and to appoint in bis place an
American who understands the rights
of his countrymen abroad, and has the
will, courage and dignity to maintain
them against the English or any other
foreign government; and that-the Pres
ident be requested to again instruct
our minister at London to demand im
mediate trial or unconditional release
of the American citizens imprisoned in
Ireland.
Resolved, That the president and sec
retary of this convention be instructed
to have these resolutions laid without
delay before the President of the Unit
ed States, the members of the cabinet
and the members of the United States
CoDgress.
The resolutions were adopted amid
great applause.
The committee on credentials report
ed that 227 delegates were present reg
ularly accredited to the convention.
During the readingof the committee's
report Representative Samuel S. Cox
came into the hall and was escorted to
a place upon the stage, the delegates
rising to their feet and cheering upon
his being introduced to the convention.
Representative Cox responded in a
short speech in which he alluded to the
progress already made in this move
ment in Ireland, and advised the league
to go ahead in the same direction, and
he believed that the result - would be
complete autonomy for the old country.
At the assembling of the convention
at its evening session the following
letter was read from Wendell Phillips,
addressed to the chairman of the as
semblage: My Dear Sir: I wish I could be with
you at the general convention, but it is
impossible. I trust that "its protest
against the British government's keep
ing American citizens for months in
prison without a trial will be explicit
and properly indignant. England may,
if she chooses, interpolate into her
criminal law a leaf from the despotic
system of Germany and Russia. It will
be only a confession of her distrust of
free institutions, and at this day of no
avail. B,ut that is no business of ours.
We have still a right to, claim of her
what she has always claimed of us ;
that our citizens in her territory shall
have the protection of the humane and
just procedure of the common law
once the law in England and still in
force here. That procedure secures to
an accused citizen the right to be
brought promptly before a judicial tri
bunal and have his offense clearly
stated and proved. But England never
grants to us what she claims of us in
similar circumstances. She' demands
that we shall approa'eh her with the
tone of an inferior to a superior, while
she uses to us the tone of a superior to
an inferior. This insolence should be
met sharply and promptly. There are
many generous and liberal ro.en; and
women in England, B,at the argeipart
of her goyerning class, dreads and hates
our institutions, fortunately it is
with'tnis dasa that our "representatives
abroad alffioat exclusively associate.
Qur relations with foreign States will
never be satisfactory until our diplo
matists remember on that side of the
ocean what they ought to have learned
here, that "all men are created eauaiei'
and that an injury done to any Ameri
can citizen, no matte what his antece
dents, hia clap or his position, is as
grjLye an insult to the nation as if the
wrong were done to our foreign minis
ter himself, I trust the convention
will assert these principles with all the
emphasis possible. Very cordially and
respectfully, Wendell Phillips.
After a short interval, Gem Rose
crans, of California, ascended te plat
form, and was greeted with thjee rous
ing cheers. The Genera then advanced
and thanked, the meeting for the cor
dia.1 welcome which he nad received,
for he knew the value of a welcome
from such hearts. He sympathized with
the cause which brought the meeting
together, and it was not the beginning
of his sympathy; The evils which were
to be redressed were routed si centu
ries deep hi the soiro.f Ireland, and no
American could understand what the
Irish nftonle had Buffered. His had not
been a life devoted to the art of elo
quence, and he had not come here with
the expectation of doing more than ex
press his most hearty good-will for, the
1 cause in which the meeting was en
gaged. Applause.
Hon. W. E. Robinson, of New York.
having ascended the platform amid ap
plause, after some remarks of thanks
said that when he had come to Con
gress this year he had found the Eng
lish prisons again being filled up with
American citizens. He had found the
American eagle drugged and drowsy,
with its beak filled with Lowell garbage,
its pinions wet with the mildew of
monarchy. He had aroused her from
her ignoble slumber, and gave -her
scream to the music of liberty, and her
majestic wing to tan the tempest and
soar tp the sun. He could not have
done what he had except for the fact
that others had stood by him. The
American eagle had been aroused from
her ignoble slumber, and the British
lion must quail before her. It was-said
that the men in prison would get their
liberty providing they pledged their
honor not to return to England. Could
there be any ignoble vagabond in this
country with a drop of American blood
in his veins, whether he had risen to
the position of Secretary of State or any
other place of dignity in this govern
ment, who would get down on his
knees and subscribe to such a disgrace
ful condition as that? Cheers. He
might himself conform to that condi
tion provided that all Englishmen in
this country were presented with the
same condition. How the British lion
would growl and stamp around and
exercise all his faculties of body and
mind if the United States made any
such proposition as that ! Englishmen
in this country were at the head of
banking associations, and still refused
to renounce allegiance to that t lost ty
rannical of all despots, the Q leen of
Great Britain and Ireland. No man
-uld or ought to go abroad if he did
. it breathe the spirit of Democracy.
1 ake a rosebud and put it in the infer
nal regions and it would give its scent
until it expired, and so it was with
the spirit of Americ; a liberty. English'
aristocrats were atraid of American
citizens, for wherever American citi
zens went they were a protest against
tyranny. They could not help it, and
they ought not to hf-lp it. At this point
Mr. Robinson pau ed, and then said
that if he proceeded he was afraid he
might say something to commit the
convention, but being assured by eries
of "Don't be afraid of it," he continued,
saying that his first otject was to get
American citizens out of jail; "and
they shall come out," he continued, "or
we will batter down the walls of the
jails. The next thing we ought to do
(and we do not deserve the name of
American citizens if we do not) is to
bring Parnell and his associates out of
jail. Applause. Are we to have this
offense against decency in our nostrils?
Let us send home her (England's) min
ister from here and bring ours from
there, and tell her that we will not have
any connection with her. Applause
and cheers. Englishmen here say we
i-annot dispense with the commerce of
Englui-d. I am not going to be one of
thos j who will sell my soul for com
toptco." Applause Further along
i 1 tiis speech he said, alluding to "John
Buil:" "Let us tell this brute that un
til lie behaves himself we can have no
communication with him. After we
. ve got our citizens out of prison nd
released Parnell and his associates
there is only one step farther to go: up
with the preen flag and down with the
red flag. Loud cheers. If I go on I
will say something, and therefore I be?;
pardon and will say no more." Laugh
ter and applause.
