distinct declarations were made by both OF

French was adopted as the candidate ZOE lhe

God, too late in the day for that.
This Home Rule victory is too much alto
gether for our native Wings and Tories. The
English papers acknowledge that the Homo
Rulers hare won q victory. Bnt our Irish
Wings positively try to make ont that it is not
Home Rule victory at all, while our Tories
ignore the matter altogether, and SO try to
diminish its significance and importance. The

consequently, before he had put forth his I.

The select committee of tho House of Con

there is on it clear majority opposed to IL
