Mr. Gavan Duffy, the prospective Socialist Labour candidate for Whitehaven, has been in correspondence with the leader of the Irish Party with regard to the attitude of the latter towards Labour candidates who are contesting British constituencies. Mr. Gavan Duffy in his letter pointed out, that the Labour Party as a body have always been strong supporters of Home Rule for Ireland, and that this consistent attitude ought to obtain for them preferential treatment from the Irish Party. Mr. Redmond replied as follows from the House of Commons on the 23rd inst :—

Dear Mr. Gavan Duffy, — have received you letter of the 22nd inst., and I need scarcely say that I largely agree with your views. The question you refer to is, as you will easily understand, engaging my anxious consideration, and I think that when the election comes it will be found that we have thoroughly grasped the necessity of signing, wherever possible, Labour candidates. — With best wishes, very truly yours.

John E. Redmond
