ITNIONISII IN ULSTER.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR.") Sra,—A correspondent who wrote to contradict me as to the prevalence of Unionism in Ulster stated that more votes were given for the Home Rule candidates than for the Unionists in Ulster at the last General Election. I did not look into this point at the time, as the large number of constituencies in which there was no contest rendered it an unsafe guide. Glancing over the list recently, however, I find that about forty-eight thousand Unionist votes were recorded against forty thousand Home Rulers. This relates to the nine counties in the Province.—I am, Sir, tic., HIBERNICHR.
