 The Bag and Baggage Policy. Mr John Morley (before the Pamellite Alliance) expresses his fears of the

 John Morley, Nineteenth Century, Nov. 1882. [Mr W. O'Brien, M. P., prophesies : " There will be no healthy life in

 now command an over-ivhelming majority, so all ground of suspicion of a desire to de.itroy the landed property of 
 Ireland has disappeared." — 20th Oct. 1887. [Ten days afterwards, Mr John Dillon advocates the abolition of landlords,

 The Grand Old Parliamentary Hand, anxious to 
 whitewash his Parnellite allies, describes boycotting 
 (4th July 1887) as "Exclusive De-^ling,'' and subse- 
 quently as "natural," "lawful," and "necessary com- 
 binations," and, further, as "the o.nly instrument by 
 which, in their unfortunate circumstances, they (the 
 Nationalists) could defend their rights." — At Derby, 
 20th Oct. 1887.
