ULSTER ASCENDANCY.
[To TUE EDITOR 07 THE " SPRCTATOR.'] Sin,—Mr. John Dillon, speaking at the Canterbury Music Hall on the 15th inst., said, "There are at this moment in Ulster thousands of people who sympathize with Home Rule, but they dare not say it." Now what about those in the other provinces who are against it but dare not say it ? I know my Ireland pretty well, north, south, east, and west, and I venture to say I know a constituency in the south represented by one of Mr. Dillon's followers, and nearly every farmer in it is against the present Home Rule Bill, unless what they have stated privately is an untruth ; and I am sure that if a Unionist could be got to stand for the constituency and the voters not interfered with or got at in any way, if the Unionist did not win, the majority against him would be very, very small indeed. It would be very interesting, Sir, if such a con- stituency could be polled quietly by Referendum.—I am, Sir,
MARS.
