1891 (17 August) Charles Stewart Parnell, Irish Parliamentary Party
letter concerning the ‘split’
An extremely interesting letter written and signed in the name of
Charles Stewart Parnell by a member of staff. Headed 'Private and
Confidential' and sent from Morrison's Hotel Dublin stating that "in view
of the proposed change in directorate expected of the Freeman's
Journal... steps should be taken to promote an independent national
daily paper... a meeting of our leading friends should be held here on
Thursday next." With original envelope addressed to Mr. M. Donnelly
At the start of the Parnell split in the I.P.P., the
Freeman's Journal
came
out strongly in favour of Parnell. However the paper defected to the
anti-Parnellites and in doing so installed a new board, referred to in this
letter. An interesting piece of Parliamentary Party history written at a
time when Parnell found himself running out of friends and just a few
months before his death.
