follows: II am sorry that my speech irritated
YOU 1t has been as great grief to me to
speak as have spoken as it can have been to
you to listen or read"
Mr. Bright then argues that Mr.. Gladstone's
asking, last November, for majority to enable
him to be independent of Parnell, was, by the
country as well as by the Liberals, understood

the empire, Mr.. Bright says he believes that the
Irish movement is now such conspiracy, and

the great services you have rendered to the
