See also:DILLON, See also:JOHN (1851– ) , Irish nationalist politician, was the son of John See also:Blake Dillon (1816–1866), who sat in See also:parliament for See also:Tipperary, and was one of the leaders of " See also:Young See also:Ireland." John Dillon was educated at the See also:Roman See also:Catholic university of See also:Dublin, and afterwards studied See also:medicine. He entered parliament in 188o as member for Tipperary, and was at first an ardent supporter of C. S. See also:Parnell. In See also:August he delivered a speech on the See also:Land See also:League at See also:Kildare which was characterized as " wicked and cowardly " by W. E. See also:Forster; he advocated boycotting, and was arrested in May 1881 under the See also:Coercion See also:Act, and again after two months of freedom in See also:October. In 1883 he resigned his seat for reasons of See also:health, but was returned unopposed in 1885 for See also:East See also:Mayo, which he continued to represent. He was one of the See also:prime See also:movers in the famous " See also:plan of See also:campaign," which provided that the See also:tenant should pay his See also:rent to the See also:National League instead of the landlord, and in See also:case of eviction be supported by the See also:general fund. Mr Dillon was compelled by the See also:court of See also:queen's See also:bench onthe 14th of See also:December 1886 to find securities for See also:good behaviour, but two days later he was arrested while receiving rents on See also:Lord See also:Clanricarde's estates. In this instance the See also:jury disagreed, but in See also:June 1888 under the provisions of the new Criminal See also:Law See also:Procedure See also:Bill he was condemned to six months' imprisonment. He was, however, released in See also:September, and in the See also:spring of 1889 sailed for See also:Australia and New See also:Zealand, where he collected funds for the Nationalist party. On his return to Ireland he was again arrested, but, being allowed See also:bail, sailed to See also:America, and failed to appear at the trial. He returned to Ireland by way of See also:Boulogne, where he and Mr W. O'Brien held See also:long and indecisive conferences with Parnell. They surrendered to the See also:police in See also:February, and on their See also:release from See also:Galway See also:gaol in See also:July declared their opposition to Parnell. After the See also:expulsion of Mr T. M. See also:Healy and others from the Irish National Federation, Mr Dillon became the See also:chair-See also:man (February 1896). His See also:early friendship with Mr O'Brien gave See also:place to considerable hostility, but the various sections of the party were ostensibly reconciled in 1900 under the leadership of Mr See also:Redmond. In the autumn of 1896 he arranged a See also:convention of the Irish See also:race, which included 2000 delegates from various parts of the See also:world. In 1897 Mr Dillon opposed in the See also:House the Address to Queen See also:Victoria on the occasion of the See also:Diamond See also:Jubilee, on the ground that her reign had not been a blessing to Ireland, and he showed the same uncompromising attitude in 19o1 when a See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O.
