(Hear, hear.) Alluding to Ireland, he observed that
whatever were the measures Mr. Gladstone might

Mr. Surma said he had recently joined the Portland
Artillery Volunteers. There was no queetion hut
that if this pert of the country were attacked from
the onside, the Volunteers would do their duty by
protecting
the coast defences. (Hear, hear.) The
vatives represented that they had the whole
monopoly of the patriotism of the country, but the
Liberals had a greater clnint to call themselves true
patriots than the Conservatives, because they worked
Ica much wider basis, for they wished the working
dame, to have their proper share of lower in the
intermta of the country. (Hear, bear.) It wax the
Liberals who constituted the English psople, and it
was for that party he had volun his oervicee.
