There is now believed to be a possibility of reconciliation under Air. Dillon. No one doubts the truth of Mr. Dillon's statement that he loved Parnell, and there i onlv one speech of Mr. Dillcn on record in which tie antagonized Parnell, and that was on the sub ject of the Paris fund, and a few davs before Parnell'a deatn.

I'pon being liberated, he threw bis bt in with the McCarthyites, but he never used personal abu- f ive terms regarding i'arnell. and the utmost charged airainst him bv the Parnellitee is that, w hen an offensive terd was used in his presence, he failed to rebuke it there is no proof that he heard it, mid if he did he probab'y thought it l i st to ignore it.
