Every few days some Republican pa
per breaks out with the announcement
that Leedy is going to be beaten for the
nomination, and that the Pop forces
have organized in such a way that his
defeat is assured. Such talk is hog
wash There is not enough power in the
Pop party to beat Leedy out of the
nomination. His defeat would mean the
undoing of Populism, and even his enc
mics must eventually support him.
Leedy will not get his dose until No
vember.-Lawrence Republican.
And if Cy Leland dominates the Re
publican candidate, he will not get it
then. This state is going for fusion
unless Cy Leland is dismounted and
disarmed. The State Journals prophe-
sizes have come true for many years.

IRISH STRUGGLE BEGUN
HOME RULE AMENDMENT OFFERED AND
PROMPTLY VOTED DOWN
Outlined by John Redmond, Mr..
BaIfOur and Sir William Vernon
HarcOurt, the Three Leaders I'm
the Commons

LONDON, Feb. lin the house of
commons today John Redmond, the
Parnellite leader, moved an amendment
to the address in reply to the speech
from the throne at the opening of par
lament
1t was to the effect that, while the
house regards with satisfaction the
proposed bill for the reform of local
government in Ireland. the measure
will in nowise meet the demand for
an independent Irish parliament"
Concluding, Mr.. Redmond said that
the executive had declared that the
celebration of the centenary of the
Irish rebellion showed that Ireland
hated England. There had been times
Mr.. Redmond continued, when England
could have changed that feeling and
he believed it possible that 1t might yet
be changed
Mr.. Redmond then proceeded to criti-
else the changed Liberal attitude since
the retirement of Mr.. Gladstone. and
asked for an expression of opinion from
the Liberal leaders
Sir William Vernon Harcourt the Lib
eral leader, replied, emphasizing the sac
rifice which the Liberals had made for
home rule, which was his belief and
which he had reiterated in all his
speeches. But the speaker pointed out
the supremacy of the imperial parlia-
ment was a material feature of MI
GladstOne's bill and was accepted by
the Nationalist leaders. The present
amendment, Sir William pointed out
demanded an independent parliament.
and, therefore, he would oppose 1t.
Mr.. Dillon, chairman of the Irish
parliamentary party, said he would
support the amendment, but he admit
ted the departure of the adherents
from the policy of the late Charles
Stewart Parnell. who had accepted Mr..
Gladstone's bill as fully satisfactory
Dillon warned the Liberals that they
would lose the Irish vote unless home
rule headed their programme
Mr. Balfour, first lord of the treas
ury and government leader, said the
local government bill was not intended
as step toward home rule or as
compromise, but rested solely on it's
own merits, to center upon Ireland the
same local liberties as enjoyed by Eng
land and Scotland.
Then, amid laughter and cheers of
the Conservatives, Mr.. Balfour COM
mented upon the ''unpalatable posi-
ton" OF the Liberals, "in the face of
Irish pressure" which, he added, with
or without jam, the Liberals will have
to swallow"
The amendment was eventually re-
Jected by 233 to 65 votes. Only two
Radicals supported Mr.. Redmond's mo-
ton.
John Redmond moved an amendment
in favor OF a reconsideration Of the
cases of the Irish political prisoners.
Admiral Lord Charles Beresford amid
irish cheers supported the amend
ment. Sir Matthew White Ridley. the
home secretary, opposed It, The house
rejected the amendment by 152 to 100
votes.
