NONCONFORMISTS AND HOME-RULE.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."] SIR,—May I, through the medium of your columns, ask all Nonconformist Unionists, ministers as well as laymen, Con- servatives as well as Liberal Unionists, to send me their names, together with the denominations to which they belong, not for publication, but that my Association may be able to gauge even more directly the real strength of Nonconformist Unionism ? I shall also be greatly favoured if the secretaries of local Nonconformist Unionist Associations will allow me to place myself in communication with them. Nonconformist Unionism, I am able to testify, has gained ground largely during the past few months, but I am assured that the names

of many are not yet on my lists. I may add that the Non- conformist Unionist Association is not a Liberal Unionist organisation, but is composed of members of both wings of the Unionist Party.—I am, Sir, &c.,

ARTHUR W. GROSER, Hon. Sec., Nonconformist Unionist Association. 1 Cardin Court, Temple.
