ENDORSED AY IT 11 ENTHUSIASM United Press Association—By Electrio Telegraph—Copyright. (Received April '24, 10.25 a.m.) LONDON, April 23.
At tlio All-for-Ireland Convention Mr John Redmond, the president, said that the Home Rule Bill was the. greatest and most satisfactory ever offered. It, implied the disappearance of Dublin Cnstlo and all its ovil, bloodstained traditions. They would be a nation of fools not to accept it. Ho was aware that the safeguards t-o religious ascendency woro unnecessary, but as long as anyone in Ireland had honest doubts about this question he was prepared to accept theso safeguards. The Bill gave Ireland the immediate control of ninetenths of the Irish services and eventually tlio whole of tliem. Ho insisted that the finance of the Bill was far better than that of either of its predecessors. He moved the acceptance of the Bill.
The Lord Mayor of Cork seconded the motion, which was carried with the greatest enthusiasm. Tho green flag was unfolded simultaneously with tho carrying of the motion.
