thus violate pledges would prove himself
utterly unworthy Of the confidence OF his

The struggle in ireland will be bitter.
Both sections are hopeful. The majority
claim the country districts, and the Par

the National League office in Dublin, and
probably most OF the branches; but the
bulk of the richer NatiOnalists, like the
clergy, are against him. What has hap
