READY TO MEET REBELLION.
(UNITED I'RESS ASSOCIAIION.-COPIRIGHr.)
(AUSTRALIAN - NEW ZEALAND-CABLE ASSOCIATION.*
LONDON, sth August.
The meeting at Monaghan, at which President Cosgrave offered an amnesty to all rebels, was notable in that for the first time Orangemen and Free Staters appeared on the same election platform.
President Cosgrave said he had told the irregulars that if they, had been worth a damn they would have beaten us a year ago. They had more men and were better armed, and better disciplined. Yet we produced an "army that knocked the devil out of them. If it hae to be done again, we will do it. So whenever the opportunity seeme fitting for them to take the field, let them take it. We will give them our answer.'.'
