Show John Bright Talks of Ireland. London, November 4. John Bright has written a letter to Blennerhassett, who contested con-tested Manchester for the House of Commons, Com-mons, condoling with him on the opposition of the Irishmen of that city, who joined the Tories instead of supporting the Liberals. The Tories, Bright says, refused to grant concessions to Ireland, while the Liberals were willing to remove her grievances. England, Eng-land, he continues, has in the past treated Ireland cruelly, but now Ireland's greatest enemies are her professed leaders, who incite her people to disturb the peace and destroy industry. Bright hopes there are still patriotic Irishmen ready to make the effort to retain harmony within England. |
