At the meeting of the Louth Coun-
ty Council in supporting resolution
in reference to Home Rule, the
chairman, Mr.. William A. Doran,
Protestant, said through good report
and i'll the Irish party had worked in
a manner which won. and was worthy
of the admiration of fair-minded peo-
pie of every section. The agitation
against the Home Rule bill was the
agitation Of an ascendancy who. in
the past, ruled their boards and their
public services. The English as
cendancy had an instrument forged
to their hand in the bigotry and in
tolerance of certain section of
Irishmen, and this they used as a
lever for their own purposes. He
wondered if writer's of the English
Unionist press. who talked glibly of
listers resistance. ever considered
what would happen If ireland, as Mr..
Redmond put it, were robbed of
Home Rule. If Ireland were de-
prived of Home Rule it would be an
act of robbery, just as much as the
act of the armed highwayman. It
would be robbery by brigands, and
the government of Ireland after
wards by England would be, and
should be, rendered impossible. He
(the Chalrman) II Home Rule were
denied them, would identify himself
with any movement and do a mans
part in rendering the government of
Ireland by England impossible.
