UNIONIST SPEECHES.
MB REDMOND'S CONTENTION.
Per Press Association—Copyright. LONDON, December 9. Mr Austen Chamberlain, speaking at Bristol, referring to Home Rule, said that everybody agreed that Ireland was happier materially than at any-previous time. "Why .should the good work be interrupted ? The Sight- Hon. J. H.Campbell, speaking at Hounslow, said that the Irish enjoyed the same rights and privileges as the English. Their real griev- | ances had been swept away by the Land Acts. They were now more'self-reliant and independent; and did not want Home Rule. Sir Ruf us Isaacs, presiding at a Home Rule demonstration at Reading, denied Mr Bonar Law's assertion that the | Government's majority had been ob-l tamed on issues other than that of Home Rule. • Mr Redmond said that Irishmen would never be bribed by doles or coerced by imprisonment and oppression. The Nationalists had an indestructible nationality and an historical national right to Home Rule. He added that Mr Bonar Law was most ungrateful in complaining: of the influence of the Irish vote in Britain, because he owed his first election for Glasgow to the instructions of the United Irish League.
