Mr Davitt said the Tories feared, and desired to prevent, a real union of the peoples of the two countries. Immense enthusiasm was shown by the supporters of Home JJule. Members of the House of Commons spoke at 12 platforms. They hailed the prospect of a conflict with the House of Lord- with delight, and claimed that the huge gathering that day indicated that the sympathy of the bulk of the workers in Great Britain was with them. It is reported that Mr Gladstone, in an interview with the Queen, announced that he did not intend to ask for a dissolution in the event of the House of Lords rejecting the Home Bule Bill, but Her Majesty, objected, and nrged that an appeal feo the country was necessary in^iche event of the Bill being throwja out. • ' Lord -Randolph Churchijij'gpeakzng at Bolton, said the finan^l resources of Ireland would be l%ft in the hands of hungry and ilWisposed persons, who preferjfedljlpfider and oppression to good government.
