The sequel to the interview with Mr. Redmond in the
Daily Express on the meaning which he attached to Home-rule, noticed in our issue of October 8th, may be thus summarised. The interview having been cabled out to America, no notice was taken of it by Mr. Redmond for a fortnight. But Mr. Dillon having pronounced it to be a fabrication, it was then repudiated by Mr. Redmond. In a subsequent message, how- ever, he admitted having spoken to the Daily Express repre- sentative for "two moments," and, in answer to his inquiries, having recommended him to refer to his (Mr. Redmond's) article in McClure's Magazine. The Daily Express repre- sentative, in reply, has published a statement in which he adheres to the accuracy of his report of their conversation. Meantime the speech of Mr. T. P. O'Connor in Canada on substantially the same lines as those of Mr. Redmond's alleged statement has remained uncontradicted.
