OISANGENIEN FOR CONVENTION
Also Accuse Nationalist of Discrim-
inatiOn Against Unionists.

Dublin, Dec. 13.-The grand Orange
lodge of Ireland met here today and
issued an address to the Orangemen
of Ireland saying it saw no reason
to alter it's opinion that unionists
were justified in taking part in the
Irish convention which is attempting
to formulate a new plan of govern
ment and declaring the complete
confidence Of the representatives OF
Ulster unionism in the convention.
I'VE are convinced that the state
of Ireland would not have been less
satisfactory if the services of Irish
men had been boldly claimed in the
early period of the war; says the
address.
Orangemen are urged to be patrio-
tic, under self restraint and ready to
assist in preservation of peace if re-
quired.
The meeting also adopted a resolu-
ton calling attention to the attitude
of nationalists during the debate in
the house of commons on the repre-
sentation of the peoples bill, further
proof of their desire to exclude union
lists from a fair share in the govern
ment and an object less that Ulster
! might expect Notwithstanding dec
| laration, of friendship equality and
| Cancellation.
