Mr. Dillon, in his speech at Enniscorthy on Sunday last,
made a reference to Mr. Parnell's reticence in relation to the "Plan of Campaign" which was significant enough. "During the winter," he said, "the leader to whom I owe allegiance, and to whom I am proud to owe allegiance, has not, from motives of public policy, and motives which you understand and fully approve, thought it wise to take an active part at present in Ireland. But let no man suppose that because he is not among us, he is not doing good work for Ireland." Doubtless skulking in relation to the "Plan of Campaign "is what Mr. Dillon thinks excellent work for Ireland. For our own part, we prefer even Mr. Dillon's fury to such work as that. In a second speech, Mr. Dillon prosecuted eagerly the campaign against Mr. Brooke, the excellent Wexford landlord whose case we described in our last issue.
