James Daly (1838, in County Mayo, Ireland – 21 January 1911, at his residence on Spencer St., Castlebar, County Mayo〔Desmond McCabe. "Daly, James". ''Dictionary of Irish Biography''. (Eds.)James Mcguire, James Quinn. Cambridge, United Kingdom:Cambridge University Press, 2009. ()〕) was an Irish nationalist activist best known for his work in support of tenant farmers' rights and the formation of the Irish National Land League. ==Beginnings== Daly was a conservative Catholic from a comfortably-off Mayo farming family. He served from 1869 on the Castlebar Board of Guardians and as a guardian for the Litterbrick Division in Ballina union. Daly took up the emerging political cause in the West to establish tenant farmers' rights against largely absentee landlords and participated in the meeting in Louisburgh, County Mayo in 1875, convened to establish a local tenants defence association. From May 1876, Daly and Alfred O'Hea supported Matt Harris's Ballinasloe Tenants Defence Association. In February 1876, together with Alfred O'Hea, he purchased the ''Mayo Telegraph'', renamed the ''Connaught Telegraph'' in 1878, and became sole owner in 1879 on O'Hea's death. The ''Connaught Telegraph'' became the early publicity vehicle for what was initially a Mayo-based land movement. On 26 October 1878, the Mayo Tenants' Defence Association (or Mayo Farmers' Club)〔Moran 1994, page 191〕 was formed at Castlebar, with Westport barrister J.J. Louden as chairman and Daly as secretary. The local MP, John O'Connor Power, attended, giving the support of the "advanced" faction of the home rule movement to the growing land movement. This support was reinforced by Parnell himself when he joined Daly, O'Connor Power, James Kilmartin and Matt Harris at the Ballinasloe Tenants' Defence Association meeting on 3 November 1878.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James Daly (Irish Land League)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
