ULSTER AND THE HOME RULE BILL.
[TO THE EDITOR OP THE "SPECTATOR."]
San,—For the information of your correspondent " X " allow me to state that West Belfast, which has a Protestant majority of voters, returns a Nationalist to Parliament. He does not give the names of the two constituencies with Catholic majorities which return Tories, but doubtless Derry City is one ; in this case, although the Catholic population is larger than the Protestant, the latter at the last General Election had a majority of voters. The Catholics, however, are in a majority on the present register, which ensures the return of the Nationalist candidate should an election take place while it is in operation. This is admitted by the Times' Special Ulster Correspondent in their issue of September 11th. I might add that the sitting Tory member has wisely decided
not to seek re-election.—I am, Sir, &c., G. A.
