The Parnell Fund and the New York Sun urge Irish supporters to send funds to aid Nationalist members facing costly reelections. With potential early elections near, Home Rule advocates in Parliament must sustain themselves financially as landlords push high contest costs. New York has raised over $20,000. Boston is urged to match this to prevent Ireland’s cause from failing for lack of funds.
