THE COALITION'S IRISH POLICY.
[To vas EDITOR or THE " SPECTATOR."] SIR, It seems to me grievous that the Spectator has never made any stand against the Coalition Government's deplorable Irish policy. To say, as you do, that, broadly speaking, the country has agreed to condone the Irish murders is, I believe, entirely incorrect. It certainly is, to my knowledge, incorrect as regards the rank and file of the Conservative Party. They are paralysed at the action of their leaders. They have no rallying point, no one to voice their hatred of conferring with these Irish mur- derers. Wherever one goes and with whomever you talk on the subject, not one in ten does not hate the whole sequence of Irish events. The daily papers are doped. Not one of them, except the Morning Post, oven noticed the Duke of North- umberland's striking letter to the Morning Post. That letter expresses, I believe, the feelings of the vast majority of the Conservative Party. If the leaders of the Conservative Party wished to smash up, their following, they could not do better.—I am, Sir, &c., GRANVILLE FARQUHAR.
Dalton Hall, Beverley, October 7th.
