[TO THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR. "] Sin,—You have very

properly commented upon Mr.' Asqeith's argument that Ulster is, after all, nearly equally divided upon Home Rule and upon his deduction therefrom. A reference to Schedule I., Part I., of the Home Rule Bill shows that of fifty-nine members assigned to Ulster in the proposed Parlia- ment upon the basis of population only thirty-seven go to constituencies now represented by Unionists and twenty-two to Nationalist constituencies. Is not Mr. Asquith Otte refuted by himself P—I am, Sir, &c., A CONNACHT UNIONIST.
