THE RADICALS AND HOME-RULE.
LTO THE EDITOR OP THE " SPECTATOR."
SIR,—I think the following incident may be worth re- cording in connection with the present attitude of the Radical party towards Home-rule. This morning I happened to meet the Liberal candidate for my constituency, one of the most advanced of all the Radicals who are presenting themselves for the Metropolitan boroughs. He accosted me thus :—" Good morning, Mr.—, now is the time to canvass you. I hope you have read my address; you will find in it nothing about Hoine-rule." This is a man who, three years ago, was a devoted follower of Michael Davitt.—I am, Sir, &c.,
LIBERAL UNIONIST.
