Lord Saliabury heartily endorsed Lord Ampthill's declaration that the Die-Hard

movement was not a revolt but a rally. We find very strongly to our taste the following declaration by Lord Salisbury :-

" You must take your courage in both hands. It is no good making excuses. I hear all sorts of excuses. Some people say they won't jointhe movement because they do not altogether agree-with. the Morning Post. I don't altogether agree with the Morning Post, but I have a great regard for it. (Loud and prolonged cheers, most of the audience rising and waving their napkins.) I think that its brilliance, its single-hearted devotion to the cause, and its public spirit have earned the deepest gratitude of the. country. (Renewed cheers.)"
