Mr. Dillon and Mr. O'Brien have been released from prison,

and have immediately thrown in their lot with the Anti- Parnellites. They have not been sorry to be compelled to keep passive till it became clear to them which of the two antagonistic parties was likely to win, and then they took sides at once with the Irish majority. Mr. Dillon, as the leader who was more distinctly McCarthyite in his bias, spoke first, and. left no doubt of the conviction with which the Kilkenny, Sligo, and Carlow elections had inspired him. Mr. O'Brien, who had visibly leaned to the other side before his imprisonment, is also a convert to the successful party. Both express (for the nonce) great confidence in the Gladstonians.
