looks at the election from a geographic

next deals with the purchase and sale
OF land in Ireland. ana at the outset
acknowledges that the most power

0efeat OF government was an aversion
to the land bill. The Siamese
twinship OF the two bills was put to
scorn by those for whose benefit IL was
IN great part designed, having been
deadly 10 both. He thinks il his duty
explicitly 70 ackno Wedge that the sen
tence which has gone forth for the sew
erance Of the two measures is irresisi

been for 8 time disastrous 20 the
hopes of Ireland. exists no longer.
At the same time, be hopes the
partnership between the enemies Of
ZONE rule and the enemies OF the land
bill, which brought about this result
may now be dissolved. The enemies Of
home rule have ever been the keenest
promoters of land purchase in the in

eaemies of the land purchase bill;
instead Of standing at their ease,
