LONDON, Sept. 1S.-Something of a stir
in Irish political circles has been caused by
the action Of a Tipperary priest named
Conway in denouncing the plan of cam.
paign as detrimental TO the best interests
OF the country, and condemning the tend
ency of the people to yield blind allegiance
TO agitators, whose advice was often con.
trary TO good morals. The bishop of Cork
has also very recently expressed himself in
similar though rather more guarded terms.
The bishops and priests in Ireland have.
as rule, kept so clear from suspicious OF
partiality in politics that these two con
spicuous exceptions, coming close together,
attract much attention The situation at
Tipperary is exceptional, the recalcitrant
element among the tenants having emf
grated almost en- masse from the Smith
Barry estates to New Tipperary, and leav-
ing only such constituency as would be
likely to receive such utteranees as those
OF Father Conway in favorable spirit.
The London Times claims to have discov-
cred a formidable reaction throughout Ire
land against the policy so long pursued
under Nationalist auspices, and predicts
that strong 'anti-plan Of campaign party
will soon be formed. Other observers ex.
press the belief that the signs Of the times
point to a general breaking up of old DO.
