Show SINN FE1NERS ' WORKWLSTEH Leaders Holding Meetings to Promote Their Propaganda .Ulster Unionists Stiffen , Opposition. DUBLIN, Sept. 26. (Correspondence (Correspond-ence of The Associated Press.) Tho Sinn Feiners have been devoting spe-ical spe-ical attention to their propaganda in Ulster, where several meetings have been addressed by the leaders of the movement. The effect, as reflected in the press. Is to harden Ulster Unionists' Union-ists' opposition to any form of home rule by strengthening their conviction that it must mean separation. Richard McGhee, a member of the Irish party and member of parliament for Mid-Tyrone, in a speech charged that there exists a conspiracy to weaken the constitutional movement for homo rule. He said that soon after the Parnell commisison a society was formed in Canada and New York among the Orangemen of the Ulster party to carry on the work that had been carried on by the British home office under the Tory government. That society has carried on tho work of the secret service in finding agents of the LcCaron type and faying them through the Clan Na Gael. Tho society so-ciety had been more active since tho home rule bill came into discussion about four years ago and he was told in New York that it was its agents who supplied the funds to pay for the useless arms that were landed at Howth and which the British or Dublin Castle people knew all about before they had been dispatched from New York. Agents of Spy Factory. "In the county -of Tyrone there had been active agents of this spy factory working for years past and their first purpose was to ensnare the people and then betray them just as was done in tho days of Parnell by Jim McDer-mott, McDer-mott, whom Davitt exposed," Meanwhile the result of the Irish convention will be announced long before be-fore there is any question of a peace conference and if the result is a good scheme of home rule, the general opinion is that it will re-unite the country. According to current gossip as to its proceedings the plans of home rule as debated are on very broad-lines, .going -beyond- the provisions provi-sions of the home rule act, now suspended sus-pended on the statute book. Every effort is being made to meet the difficulty diffi-culty of northeast Ulster without partitioning par-titioning Ireland and, once that diffi-j culty is overcome, good judges say that an entirely new face will be put on Irish politics, i |
