SPEECH BY MR ASQUITH.
LONDON, December 16. Mr Asquith, speaking at Rexford, ridiculed tho suggestion that the elections had proved inconclusive. "Are we," he. asked, "to resign when tho constituencies have given us a majority of over one hundred? If so, who is to carry on the King's Government?" The Premier said that Mr ' Balfour considered it a shocking thing for the Government to be at the mercy of the Irish, but the Liberals were perfectly capable of taking care of their own reputations and were not going to be coerced into any action of which their consciences did not approve.
