Show Ireland as a Loyal Colony. New .Yobk, December 22. The Herald's London special says: An important Irish allusion was made about midnight at a dinner din-ner at the Holborn Hotel, given to Howard Spensley, member of Parliament elect, for ClerkenwelL In the course of the speech responding to his health, he said: "The British Empire has twenty-one colonies. Why should not Ireland make another? Treat Ireland as we treat Canada or Australia Aus-tralia and no country would be more loyal to the Empire." This was received with the most uproarous cheering, many Liberal leaders and important workers who were present joining in. |
