Dcvlin and Mr.. Devlin lives I'm Belfast.
where he represents the one Home Rule
district out OF the four in that city. IN
any scheme OF compromise Belfast would
be excluded from Home Rule. and Mr..

who lives in Armagh, would no more care
To be excluded than Mr. Devlin. and 1t -
doubtful If Mr.. Redmond could make any
