DUBLIN, Dec 20-l had the subIoned interview
this evening with John Dillon, NJ. p. at his house
In North Great George's-st.:
allow do you regard the action Of the Govern
nent, Mr. Dilon?'
1T is now plain, was the answer, "that the
proceedings against me in the Court Of Queen S
Bench were taken simply Dr the .rpose Of gi ing
the Government syme excuse for ter action at
Loughea and for the Lord Lieutenan-'s irocl-ma-
tin of the Pan of Campaign, both of which
believe to be gloss illegal Most Of the Irish
JUDGES always the obedient servants Of the
Castle, an in this instance Judge O'Bricn simply
delivered q political speech at the request of the
Go ernment With regard to the Loughrea
incident have instituted an action against Sub
lns, ,ector Davis for assault and for the recovery
of the money taken flOm me-
"Do you not hold that all the illegality is on
ahe side OF the Government ?"
",e.tainy il is. They charge us with being
engaged in o criminal conspiracy, whereas, in
truth, movement has been an open and public
one. Every detail of plans was before the
Go, ernment for the last two months, during all
which time no one ever suga ested that the Plan
OF Campai was illegal criminal, and IL is only
o fortnieh Int since the well-known opinion of their
own Attorney G neral published stating That
the Executive could net interfere with IT. We
charge the Government with entering into most
criminal conspiracy with the judges of the Queens
Bench ana procuring that these judges should
turn that Court into a political platform"
SLOW will the action of the Government affect
the movemcnt?"
Accounts as you know, which we are receiving
from all pats of the country Show that the effect
of tie Louglirea coup detat has been to in reasc
tie determnati,n of the people enormously, AMI
shat ement is going on with more
vigor than ever. Up to this time the Plan of
Campa. n has been one inbroken success 1t has
resulted in large reductions for tenants ON a
number of estates where reduction would be
granted until the l1an had been put into operation
on the neighborns estates The decrease in evc-
tions is believed to be un -recedontel
in Irish history, and the country is
consequently absolutely free from crime or out
rage. Tie priests and a majority OF the bishops
in iceland ha, c Civ en- their warm approval to the
moven ent. AMI it will be utterly impossible for
the Go> ernment to put it down"
"Win Mt the present attitude of the Govern
ment however, tend to the increase Of e\ictions? ??
"Evictons should be the natural consequence.
Lord Salisbury has now delivered as an ultInatum
go and The London Times commenting on
this declares that large clea ances must evidently
be eiIectel The Government have at lensth
deci'led TO take the ralt Of those landlords who
refuse any reasonable concession AMI appear de
termined to assist them in carrying out the exter
mnaton of the pc pie There can be no doubt
that on some Of the es atcs in which the Plan is
now in operation the struggle Will be a herce
and prob nged one inasmuch as we are obliged TO
o.,1 rftl ln
lords in Ireland However, under the circum-
stances we lock confidently to our friends in
America for a continuance of the generous support
which has done much in the past TO enable us
to carry on the struggle" L. T. GILL, Nj. f.
