LONDON, November 2.-Mr. T. P.
oConnor. NJ p, President OF the Irish
National League OF Great Britain, on 0c-
tober 30 sent letter to the General
Manager of the Associated Press, CIV
ing his views Of the recent utteranees
Of Mr.. John Redmond, M. p, leader OF
the Parnelite faction OF the National
ist party. Mr.. John Redmond, n. p,
to-day addressOdithe following reply to
Mr. 0'Connor in a letter to the General
Manager OF the Associated Press. Ia
his letter John Redmond says:
"The attitude adopted by the Inde-
pendent party Of Ireland towards the
government has been widely misunder-
stood and misrepresented. 1t has been
described as new departure and as
the promulgatlon OF new policy. IL
is nothing OF the kind. Our position
and our policy toward the Liberal party
are to-day precisely what they have
been all along. We are ready and will
ing 10 support them so long as they re-
main faithful to their pledges TO lre-
land, but we are absolutely independent
OF them, and mean 10 lot them know
that any paltering with Home Rule may
convert Us
FROM SUPPORTERS INTO OPPONENTS.
"Our recent declarations have been
1t that NJ haWn
decided TO throw Mr.. Gladstone out OF
power and restore Lord Salisbury.
Nothing could bs more absurd or moro
untrue. What we have decided upon Is
10 let the present government clearly
understand that their existence depends
upon Irish votes, and that tha price 10
be paid Tor these votes Is strict ad-
herence to the letter and spirit OF their
pledges upon the question OF Homo
Rule.
at has been said, lately, notably by
Mr.. II. p. O'Connor In the Amsrican
press. that We are demanding from the
government the re-introduction OF the
Home Rule Gill, or an immediasSSss. :. e..
luton OF Parliament. We haveeline, ia
% ado any such demand.
''The position, as 1t appeal East
seems TO be Of this charactTdeiphia y
Rule. undoubtedly, has fallen sOb a. IN. a
the hlgh position IL held my seoomp
Britain before Mr.. Parnoll's over M yTs.a
There is no enthusiasm behind ~ 10
no longer urgent as II was when tho
poUerlul leader aud his united party
made the government OF the empire
practically impossible to any ministry
which
REsECTED THEIR DEMANDS.
"The majority Of the Irish Nationalist
members to-day are part and parcel OF
the Liberal party, and consequently
there is no Irish politician who has u
in bis power TO dictate terms to Great
Britain.
"When, therefore, tho Liberal gov
erument SAYS 20 us that 10 order to.win
the next general election II Is necessary
for them to pass certain British re-
forms before dissolution OF Parlia-
ment IL would be childish upon
onr mart 10 deny f. We have never
done so; tut we have considerable pow
er still left in our hands aud we are
bound 10 use II for the purpose OF In
surfing that only a proper kind oil Brit
ish reforms are proceeded with, and
that the elections are DOT postponed In
definitely.
"Thus there Is no question tnat
Home.Rule will be shelyed and that tbs
next four or five years will be devoted
10 British affairs and the chance OF see
ing a Parliament on College Green VIII
be gone
FOR A oESERATIoS
III we agree to support these British
measures and 70 have Home Rule Ia
the meantime hung up, we must nave
a clear and definite understanding
tba, the dissolution OF Parliament wi il
not be delayed. II must take place al
the end Of 1894, or at the latest, when
the new reglsterstlon or election law
takes force. On these conditions Ts
are contented 20 help purely Bulisn
measures during all next year.
