New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1892-06-19

shortly. What his organs say is not much to
the purpose. They make two points First Ulster
is not unanimous Some Of them say
this convention is the convention of minority.
Admit 1t If you like, it is nevertheless the same
minority which has made Ulster Ulster. The
energy, thrift courage, stern purpose, unfalter-
ing faith and determination of this minority. if
minority it be, have created this admirable COM
munty. its wealth, its political and religious
power. and will probably preserve it. Secondly,
| say the Gladstonians it is all brag and bluster.
Ulster will not resist but will su ubmit when once
a Dublin Parliament is set up. That is predi-
cation which need not be discussed. All we can
say is. that If ever seemed to have been In
earnest, Ulster is in earnest now.
What Mr.. Arnold Forster says of the Ulster conven-
tien deserves attention. Mr. Forster is the nephew
and adopted son Of the late Mr. w f. Forster one Of
our hest English friends True, he is a Unionst,
but this is where all sides may be heard.
Nor is there much essential difference in their
accounts of the fact 1t is their Judgment upon
the convention and its aims in respect which men
differ. Mr.. Forster, who is in/Relfast says what
struck him was the business-like character of the
preparations 1t is a convention of delegates
All the delegates were regularly chosen. All the
LoyalstS Of Ulster took part in the proceedings.
The overwhelming majority are Protestants, but
there are also loyal Catholics Men who take no
part In politics have come to the front; business
men, the quiet, solid, God-fcaring part OF the
community There has been not all talk. no blus-
ter. no excitement; everything has been done de-
Gently and in order; divisions of creed have dls-
appeared; Presbyterian and Episcopallan STAND
side by side, so do Radical and Conservative.
Orapgemen and Liberal men who all their lives
have hated each other are now united against
common enemy. 1t Is the uprising OF people
against what they believe would be oppression
and the rule of the priests.
The London Nonconformists have parted COM
pany with their Irish brethren. They refuse 10
listen to their appeal against priesty rule. lhey
have adopted in Council string Of party resoln-
tions in favor of Home Rule, municipal REFORM
municipal control of the police and many other
things, all essential 10 the coming OF the king-
dom Of Christ. This is their view and their eX-
preston, and it dispenscs with all comment.
Mr. Gladstone has written two letter, denying
with extreme emphasis that he has called the
people of Ulster "rogues and fools lie ala not
What Ne did was to use the phrase rogues ana
fools in such connection that MS hearers ana
readers understand it 10 refer TO the people OF
Ulster He was discussing the Ulster question
and he said: "No doubt there are in Ireland, az
elsewhere. certain small proportion Of rogues
and fools That portion Of fools and rogue' may
be attracted by these astounding declarations
Lord Sasbury's declarations. II Mr. Gladstone
now means to aliegc that he had not the people
of us or any Of them In mind his denial must
he fully accented. but he certainly laid himself
open to misunderstanding
The English papers, mostly Of the Tory sort, arc

mond meeting in New-York Oh Wednesday They
are aware that Mr.. Depew Is fond Of President
Harrison and think be would not attend
