BRENNAN READY TO REPEAT.
DUBLIN. Dec. 8.-During an interview
yesterday with Brennan, who was arrested
last week upon charge of using seditious
language in his anti-rent speech at Balla,
! the agitator said he was not surprised at
his own arrest, and had no complaint to
make about it SO far as he was personally
concerned. He added that the existing
movement, which he hoped and expected
would end in the triumph of the principle
that the Irish should own the land they oc-
cupy and in the abolition. Of course, of
landlordism, would soon sink to the level
Of a miserable and fruitless agitation
unless all who engaged in 1t
were prepared to accept imprisonment
or any other temporary inconvenience to
which the Government might subject them
in the spirit Of true Irish patriots and mar
tyrs In response to a question, Brennan
said he would repeat his speech at the frs,
opportunity. He did not in the least regret
having made it. but desired to repudiate
the rumor that had in some way got afloat
that he was in any fashion connected with
those who had written threatening letters
to landlords, agents, or those farmers who
had accepted holdings formerly occupied BY
evicted tenants.
