KILKENNY.
The Tory -Unionists of Kilkenny
number only about one in fifteen of the
population. yet they are putting forward
claim for eleven out of the thirty-one
county counclorsllips-in other words
:, foreale in three. 1t is one OF the results
OF factious disorganization that such
claims are being regarded as isolated in
stances in the several districts; whereas
were there efficient union and organi-
zation in the National ranks, the claim
could be dealt with as whole. The ex-
pected capture of a third of the county
ccuncilorships will be good beginning
for those who wish to maintain the ole
order in Kilkenny.

lives for which their constituencies land
rule in the past is directly responsible
