Most Rev Dr. O'Dwyer, Bishop of Limerick, Speaking on the 29th December, 1896, on the futility of Parliamentary Agitation against Over-Taxation, said : "My own honest individual opinion is this—that the English Government will not deal fairly with this question. They will probably put us off with some other Commission or some other Committee of Inquiry, or they will give us a long debate upon the subject in the House of Commons and some Minister will get up and butter the Irish Members of Parliament, and say they have made a great and powerful case, and they will request them to be satisfied with the moral impression they have made. . . . . Or if you show them how they may fleece one class of Irishmen to put a coat on the back of another class of Irishmen, they will act entirely to your satisfaction. But when it comes to be a question between England and Ireland, remember, gentlemen, the wrong-doer is both the Judge and the Jury. Therefore, I must say personally that I HAVE VERY LITTLE HOPES FROM THE PARLIAMENTARY VENTILATION OF THIS GRIEVANCE. But if you want to get satisfaction, if you want to live in Ireland, be men, stand together and act in the spirit of the fine words of Lord Castletown of Upper Ossory. He went to Boston for a precedent, perhaps you would rather look at home. If you do, you Irish gentry of this time, look to Charlemont and the Volunteers of 1782". COSGRAVE stands for the same principles which the Bishop of Limerick professed 20 years ago, and professes to-day. COSGRAVE was one of the first to join the Volunteers. Electors of Kilkenny Vote for Cosgrave. Printed for the Candidate, William T. Cosgrave, by the "Kilkenny People" Printing Works, James's St., Kilkenny.
