sized at length the governments work and
claimed that all its useful measures were

have been penal. He was touched by the
election gains and believed that III they
could appeal to the people to-morrow the
verdict would pc i'm favor of the liberals
and Justice to- Ireland. The bulk of his
speech was devoted To Irish grievances.
He said the necessity of continued pro-
claiming of new districts was evidence of
the failure of the coercion policy, and he
declared the crime rate was now the same
i'm 1ssi, when in order tn secure the sup
port of the Parnellitcs the tories declared
coercion was no longer necessary.
