Healy has been trained in this warfare
Who trained him? Who telegraphed
tS %ha him in in America n: to come backi
to enter public life and got him seat in
parliament, promptly rebuking and re-
straining him? That Healy is here today
to destroy me, is due to myself. Mr..
Healy reminds me of his services. He has
not been slow to remind mo of them at any
time. understand he attended recent
meeting in Dublin calling on me to retire.

word edgeways. Before you vote for my
deposition be sure you are getting value
for it. On Saturday we were all agreed
that we would not have this Gladstone
bill. Not man here had word
in favor of it. Are You sure you will be
able to get anything better? II Healy or
Mccarthy or Sexton secs the way clear to
get anything better, for Gods, let them say
