HOME RULE.
Si», —In his first letter Mr. Walker endeavoured to prove that the Unionists of Ulster are unjustly treated in the matter of Parliamentary representation. This he did by parading a series of utterly erroneous figures. From reliable statistics I showed the complete falsity of every one of his figures, and challenged him for an explanation. He has so far explained as to acknowledge that he took his figures, from no authority, but if the figures were not correct " they ought to be." In his latest letter he favours us with a fresh array of figures, in which he deals with county council representation (a matter not under discussion), confuses religion and politics (Protestant and Unionist are not, as he imagines, synonymous terms), and thus endeavours to divert attention from his first letter, and the strange collection of figures contained therein. When Mr. Walker gives us a satisfactory explanation of said strange collection of figures, it will be time enough to give attention to his latest statistical effort. A. G. Clarke.
