London, Dec !)

Mr Austen Chamberlain, speaking at Bristol, referring to Home Rule, said everybody agreed that Ireland was happier materially than at any time. Why should ths good work be interrupted.

Mr Campbell, M.P.. speaking at Hounslow, said the Irish enjoyed the same rights and privileges as tho English. Their rcril grievances wei'.swept away by the Land Acts, and they wero now more self-reliant and independent, and did not want Home Rule.

Sir RufiiS' Isaacs, K.C., presiding over a Home Rule demonstration ;it Reading, denied Mr IJonar Law's assertion that a Government nia.ion-;->. would not be obtained on issues other than Home Rule.

Mr Redmond said Irishmen would never be hrihed by doles or coerced by imprisonment and oudvccmoii. Tho Nationalists had an indestructible nationality and an historical nnd national right to Home Rule. He added that Mr Bonar La.v was most ungrateful in complaining of the Influence of the Irish vote in Britain, bocause ho owed bis first election for Glasgow to the instruction of the United Irish League.
