ULSTER'S GOODWILL.

WORTH A BIG PRICE. CIVIL WAR TALK ABSURD. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH - COPYRIGHT UNITED PKKSS ASSOCIATION. Received January 26, 9.15 a.m. . LONDON, Jan. 25. xrii Redmond, tho Nationalist fP •> speaking at Waterford, declared Lister's goodwill was worth purchasing at a big price. There were no lengths, short of tho abandonment of his principles, to which he would not go to win that confidence but he did not see any prospects of goodwill being purchased at a:;y price at all. The talk of civil war was absurd as- the Ulstermen would never be attacked. Mr Redmond declared that the con-' test between two Nationalists at Cork at present vvas a, scandal and constituted a serious blow to the cause.
